March 7th – 13th

by Sonja Francis | Mar 6, 2022 | Astrological Forecasts

How Does Our Thinking Keep Us Separate?

This week’s headline items: it’s time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions from Monday early morning on; Mercury squares Nov. 19th’s Lunar Eclipse degree very early on Tuesday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Wednesday evening; the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact early on Thursday morning.

Please note: Daylight Saving Time begins in the US on Sunday very early morning.

There will only be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday late morning (for almost 15 hours); and Sunday late morning (for almost 4 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 7th:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday afternoon? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses

Monday after 6:49am EST, it is time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions. If you set Intentions on March 2nd or 3rd – after the New Moon became exact — today (Monday) will be the best time to take relevant actions.

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?

Monday late afternoon, on the one hand, we need to experience peace and physical pleasure; on the other, we need to take some time to focus on our future visions and see what’s realistic for us. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds. (Moon in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 4:56pm EST)

Monday late evening, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. Inner and outer beauty is key! (Moon in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 11:03pm EST)

Tuesday, March 8th:

 Tuesday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 1:40pm EST (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday very early morning, at around 1:40am EST, when Mercury reaches 27º14’ of Aquarius, it squares the Lunar Eclipse degree (from Nov. 19th, 2021 — 27º14’ of Taurus). This symbolizes a turning point: what have you been experiencing since Nov. 19th in connection with your own or other people’s resources? How about your intimate relationships and your relationship with yourself?

We are being invited to shift our perspective and let go of past traumas to a more abundant experience; collaborations of all kinds can support us on this path.

Ask yourself: What fears are asking to be faced? What am I ready to let go of? What steps can I take to heal past trauma? Where do I need to decide to step into my own power more fully? How does my thinking keep me separate from others? From myself? My body? My heart?

If I allow myself to keep my heart wide open, what is my vision for humanity’s future? And what is my vision for myself within that future? How might it change the process to visualize such a future from a stance of non-attachment? How might taking a collaborative approach support such a vision? How might doing those things serve me? Could I allow some space to exist between my outer experiences/interactions and my inner processes?

I go into this subject even more deeply in my latest webinar: “Turning Points – Squares to the Eclipses” ==> Click here to purchase this webinar, if you haven’t seen it yet (if you were an active Star Member on Feb. 19th, you have access to this webinar already via an email that was sent out that day).

Tuesday late morning, at 9:35am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for a little over 4 hours, until 1:40pm EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

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

Tuesday early afternoon, at 1:40pm EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Friday very early morning. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible.

“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂 This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Thursday morning).

Wednesday, March 9th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Tuesday early afternoon for details).

Wednesday late morning, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections?  (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:50am EST)

Wednesday evening, at 8:32pm EST, Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, sensitive Pisces. It will journey through Pisces until March 27th. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next 2.5 weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion — we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.

We seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time — if we allow that energy to come through — and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative, and intuitive.

The key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.

Mercury in Pisces also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditioning, or fears that are no longer serving us. The more connected we are to our Higher Self, to our intuition, and to the energies inside and all around us, the less anxious, confused, and separate we are going to feel.

If we are not connected to our intuition, we may want to double-check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items.

Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-Sign in Pisces? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-Sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.

Wednesday late evening, we are required to make some adjustments — and may need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to our inner or emotional understanding of things. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. (Moon in Gemini squares Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 10:07pm EST)

Thursday, March 10th:

 Thursday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Tuesday early afternoon for details).

Thursday morning, at 5:45am EST, the first Quarter Moon in almost 20 degrees of Gemini becomes exact (we started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Gemini on Tuesday early afternoon). The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces. 

We feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 2nd, the New Moon in Pisces became exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.

As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Thursday late morning, at 11:43am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 15 hours, until 2:24am EST (Friday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — and to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.

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

Friday, March 11th:

Friday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 2:24am EST (see Tuesday early afternoon and Thursday late morning for details).

Friday very early morning, at 2:24am EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and a half days 😉

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Friday morning is a great time to share about spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, allow for feelings to flow, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past  (Moon in Cancer trines Mercury in Pisces, exact at 7:00am EST)

Friday late morning, calls for some inner adjustments; we are invited to develop inner awareness around two very different urges: firstly, the desire to take visionary and collaborative actions that serve many people — and secondly, the need to feel safe and to connect to the familiar. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Mars in Aquarius, exact at 10:34am EST)  

Friday early afternoon, requires some more inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people (on an intellectual level) that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 12:19pm EST)

Friday night/Saturday very early morning, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 12:58am EST)

Saturday, March 12th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Friday very early morning for details). 

Saturday very early morning brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 2:37am EST)

Saturday early afternoon, brings a nice feeling of ease and an enhanced ability to connect with others in a gentle way. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing, and allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you. Release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. This is also a great time to explore spiritual, intuitive, or creative endeavors, and for lending loving and nurturing support to others. (Moon in Cancer trines Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 12:07pm EST)

Saturday evening, we are asked to make some inner adjustments, as we may experience some internal discomfort. Personal comfort and safety is important for the Moon in Cancer, yet Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that staying attached to the past is not going to lead to new creations, or bring forth new visions for the future. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 6:59pm EST)

Saturday late evening is a great time to be more aware of our spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, allow for feelings to flow, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. (Moon in Cancer trines the Sun in Pisces, exact at 11:52pm EST)

Sunday, March 13th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 3:32pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).

Sunday very early morning, at 2am EST, Daylight Saving Time begins in North America & Canada. This means from today on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and planetary movements in EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time). Please make sure that you adjust this for your location accordingly. For example, for the UK it will be 4 hours ahead instead of the usual 5 — until March 27th 😉

Sunday morning, a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 23 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 7:43am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, and it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 16th). This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us — being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment — we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.

Feeling things — and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to “have their feelings” — is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.

When we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.

If, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what’s outside of us, we will feel separate — and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh “realities”.

What might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each “now” moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our hearts to the miracle of life?

This is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart — not about giving up — rather, allowing “what is” to be ok, to see the perfection of “right now”.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)

Sunday late morning, at 11:44am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 4 hours, until 3:32pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.

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

Sunday afternoon, at 3:32pm EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday very early morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

And…

A heads up for next Monday (March 14th): The Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. In the morning, the Moon in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius, exact at 3:17am EDT; it quincunxes Mercury in Pisces at 5:05am EDT; it then opposes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 6:00am EDT; later in the afternoon, it trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:31pm EDT; and finally squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:02pm EDT. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )

February 28th – March 6th

by Sonja Francis | Feb 27, 2022 | Astrological Forecasts

Suppressed Desires Surface

This week’s headline items: Venus exits its post-Shadow phase on Tuesday late evening; the New Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Wednesday early afternoon; the Sun squares the Solar Eclipse degree (from Dec. 4th, 2021) on Wednesday evening; Mercury squares the Moon Nodes on Thursday early afternoon; Mars and Venus both change signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Sunday very early morning, creating a conjunction soon after at 0º Aquarius.

There will only be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 19 hours); Thursday late afternoon (a little over 3 hours); and Saturday late evening (4 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 28th:

Monday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

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

Monday morning presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress  (Moon in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 7:07am EST) 

Also on Monday morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.

As such, we may have to address what we value, both in others and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. (Moon in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8:50am EST) 

Monday afternoon, if you are already awake, connect with others, and share your vision for the future. Could you permit yourself to get in touch with your unique spark — and communicate your inner genius? (Moon in Aquarius conjuncts Mercury in Aquarius, exact at 5:11pm EST)

Monday at 9:01pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 14 hours, until 3:53pm EST (Tuesday afternoon). Use this intuitive time to focus on a long-term vision for your communities that involves a mature and realistic approach. As best as you can, take your time, and do your best to come from a place of integrity.

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

Tuesday, March 1st:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius and VoC until 3:53pm EST (see Monday for details).

Tuesday afternoon, at 3:53pm EST, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Thursday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic, and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.

It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.

Neptune is the ruler of Pisces — and it is currently in its own sign, making these next two days a great time to take a look at our inner spiritual connection to our “higher Self”, “Source”, “God/Goddess”.

It’s also a great time to allow all there is, as it is, and to go with the flow, following our intuitive voice as much as possible. We are being asked to tap into the “feminine” energies within ourselves so we can start to vibrate on a universal frequency. Ask yourself: Is my “higher Self” asking for more introverted/inner love-time? If I tune in with my intuitive voice, what am I receiving? Sensing?

Where in my life have I become too disconnected from life? Love? God/Goddess? What is my connection to the spiritual realm? What about the “heart realm”? How could nature and/or animals teach me about those realms?

Do I need more downtime? More resting-time? More compassion? How might being kind to myself, and trusting the process of Life create a more loving connection with the universe? This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the New Moon (exact Wednesday early afternoon).

Tuesday evening, at 9:30pm EST, Venus’ post-Shadow phase ends. As you may recall, I mentioned the Venus Shadow Phases 4.5 weeks ago, on January 29th, when the planet was stationing direct, and here is a reminder:

If you want to start new relationships or collaborations or want to purchase something that is really important to you, it’s best to avoid the periods before Venus goes retrograde and after Venus goes direct; this is especially true if related to products, services, or experiences that are connected to beauty, finances, art, or anything that delights the five senses.

The good news is, this Shadow phase ends today (Tuesday) when Venus reaches 26º29’ of Capricorn; this means that we can finally go ahead and start those new collaborations — or move “old” ones to the next level — or buy that new massage table, painting, or anything else related to beauty or art. We can also more easily receive new financial advice. Connecting, collaborating, and accumulating abundance (of whatever kind) will all go better now.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you may feel quite excited to be making new connections and moving financial or relationship issues to the next level. If you know where you have Taurus and Libra in your birth chart, or where your natal Venus is placed, all of those houses (areas of life) will be ready for receiving new collaborations or financial support.

Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 12:05am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday night on, and it will remain strong until Thursday evening. We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones 😉

Ask yourself: What is my unique value? How could I tune into that gently and consistently?If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could then be in more perfect alignment with my values? My sense of worth?

What if the whole Universe was intelligent? What if that included every cell in my body? What knowledge would my body want to share with me?

As best as you can, watch out for those messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aquarius (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Tuesday is also the last day before the New Moon in Pisces becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days have passed after the New Moon (and if you haven’t seen it yet, click here to watch my New Moon video).

Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.

Wednesday, March 2nd:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).

Wednesday late morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in 19 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact at 11:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on, and it will remain strong until Friday evening. This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for progress and collaboration. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.

We prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It’s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, future visions, and collective goals. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in 16-22 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Wednesday early afternoon, at 12:35pm EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 12 degrees of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject

Because New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle, they are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.

This New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces — a line up (aka Stellium) that includes the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter, and Neptune; the New Moon & Jupiter also sextile Uranus in Taurus. The Sun squares December’s Solar Eclipse degree several hours after the New Moon becomes exact, which signifies a turning point.

There is also a second lineup in this New Moon chart that takes place in Capricorn and includes Venus, Mars, and Pluto. And since those three planets answer to Saturn right now (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn), we must also mention the current Saturn-Mercury conjunction in Aquarius. 

All of this will bring some forward movement. The next four weeks are thus essential in our lives on both the personal and collective levels. In fact, new beginnings are possible on multiple levels, as long as we get enough rest and make time for tuning in. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s start with the Stellium in Pisces:

Pisces invites us to connect with our inner divinity, and with our ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and that we can tap into it.

To move into a higher, lighter Pisces vibration, ask yourself the following questions:… To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s New Moon, click here.

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 10-14 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 12:35pm on March 2nd and 4:45pm on March 3rd, and then again from 7:52pm on March 3rd until 12:35pm on March 4th (New York-time)

For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here

Wednesday evening, at around 7pm EST, the Sun squares Solar Eclipse degree (from Dec. 4th, 2021 – 12.5º of Sagittarius) when it reaches 12.5º of Pisces. This signals a potential turning point in our collective perceptions, expectations, and assumptions. Watch for important insights and developments today.

Our direct experience is our most valuable resource, especially if we also allow ourselves to listen to the subtle messages of our intuitive voice. 

How has your perception of yourself, others, and life shifted since Dec. 4th? If you really stop and check, might you be ready to trust your inner experience and knowingness a little more than previously?

Ask yourself: What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”? What (or who) might bring about this shift? What might I see if I were looking at the bigger picture? What do I sense when I take a moment to tune into my heart?

Recently, I have been mentioning the Squares to the Eclipse points in my Weekly Forecasts, and I go into this subject even more deeply in my latest webinar: “Turning Points – Squares to the Eclipses”.  Click here to purchase this webinar, if you haven’t seen it yet.

Thursday, March 3rd:

Thursday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 7:52pm EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).

Thursday very early morning, a Mars/Pluto alignment in almost 28 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 3:43am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (Feb. 26th) on, and it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (March 7th). 

This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.

We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to act on them, one way or another. Watch out for taking that action from a fearful, reactive, or controlling place. Managing our anger or rage more consciously might be part of this transit as well.

If you are able to connect to that passion — body and soul — you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.

Mars last aligned with Pluto in late March of 2020; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? Where do you need to direct more self-awareness? Where are we still giving our power away to authority figures? How are we disempowering ourselves or others, simply because we are trying to shield ourselves from future harm or worst-case scenario?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC), or personal planets in the following placements: 25-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra, or 0-1 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars’s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto’s movements and aspects more strongly)

Thursday early afternoon, around 12:15pm EST, Mercury squares the Moon Nodes (24º52’ of Taurus-Scorpio) when Mercury reaches (24º52’ of Aquarius). Squares ask for a shift in perception and direction; they challenge us to go beyond our survival strategies and allow ourselves to stay objective and detached in our thinking.  

Squares also mark turning points — and with this one we are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, visualizing a future we want to live into, versus a future we are afraid of. 

We must make a perceptual shift in order to move forward — and this one is a turning point in our thinking — we must balance our need for physical comforts against more authentic, emotional connections — those that support a deeper understanding of our past traumas and support us in moving beyond them into a future that provides stability and abundance. 

Ask yourself: What would it make possible for me if I got really clear about what future I would like to live into? How does my day-to-day thinking contribute to connecting my mind, body, and my heart? How does my thinking keep me separate from others? From myself? My body? My heart?

If I allow myself to keep my heart wide open, what is my vision for humanity’s future? What would visualizing such a future with non-attachment look like? How might a more collaborative approach support such a vision? How might doing those things serve me?

We must also find a balance between inner processes and outer focus.

Since we are dealing with a lot of Fixed Signs here, it would be futile to get too attached to thoughts, visions, pride, emotional connections, comforts, habits, opinions, etc.

Thursday early afternoon, a Venus/Pluto alignment in almost 28 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:56pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday evening (Feb. 27th); it will remain strong until this week Sunday evening. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.

Our instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.

What if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear — whenever possible.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself: What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? Where do I still look outside of myself for permission or approval? For what’s “right” or “wrong”?

What fears or concerns do I need to let go of to have more of what I really want? Am I living to protect myself from long-term harm or worst-case scenarios? Or with an open heart, feeling empowered in my daily choices?

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following placements: 25-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries,  or Libra, or 0-1 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio?? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)

Thursday before 4:45pm and after 7:52pm EST, you still have time to set your New Moon Intentions for this month — if you haven’t already done so on Wednesday afternoon or evening. If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon

Thursday late afternoon, at 4:45pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for a little over 3 hours, until 7:52pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to tap into your intuitive and imaginative abilities — then focus anew on your long-term goals.

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

Thursday evening, at 7:52pm EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Sunday very early morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.

Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

Friday, March 4th:

Friday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Thursday evening for details).

Friday until 12:35pm EST: If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, set your Intentions for this Moon cycle… If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon

Friday afternoon has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with, and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations. (Moon in Aries conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 3:12pm EST)

Saturday, March 5th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Thursday evening for details). 

Saturday morning, a Sun/Jupiter alignment in almost 15 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 9:06am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on, and it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening (Mar. 8th). This is the start of a “new you” with more confidence and faith. We have a chance to create a world of expansion and personal growth when tapping into our inner knowing — our heart-connection to “Source-energy”.

We feel optimistic — and that helps us attract positive circumstances. If you’ve been thinking about launching a new long-term project, this would be an excellent time to do so; this is especially true for projects connected to the Pisces energy — some examples would be anything involving spiritual or creative endeavors, projects connected to dream work or the unconscious (like therapy), music — anything connected to spirit or things that take us away from the real world — a very different example would be the pharmaceutical industry. You may well feel more vital, confident, and optimistic when it comes to those projects, you may even want to combine them with cultural exchanges and education.

If we don’t channel all this energy into something that elevates our mind and soul, we may become restless or anxious, so ask yourself: Where does all this intuitive, feeling-energy coming through want to go? How might I use it to my advantage? Could I use it to go beyond what I’ve known myself to be?

This aspect also gives us an opportunity to release “old” belief systems or any conditioned thought patterns (socially conditioned or from our upbringing) to do with our connection to the divine and intuitive.

Ask yourself: What was the collective narrative growing up when it comes to “resting”? To being still? Tuning in? Intuition? Inner guidance?

Could I allow myself to release some of those “old” conditioned beliefs and step into a more conscious relationship with the divine? With Intuition? Trusting my inner knowing? Allowing myself to see the perfection of all of life? The unfolding?

Could I allow myself to slow down now and then, without distractions, so I can tune in and listen to the subtle messages of my higher Self? And maybe receive more of the guidance that is always available to me?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-18 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius).

Saturday late evening, at 11:02pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for 4 hours, until 3am EST. If you are awake during this intuitive time, make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building long-term.

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

Sunday, March 6th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 3am EST (see Thursday evening & Saturday late evening for details).

Sunday very early morning, at 1:23am EST,  Mars changes signs from ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until April 14th. During this time we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now.

We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if you suddenly said “surprise yourself”, when you were least expecting it? 😉

Mental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality — our own and that of others.

With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships — and we are not easily pushed around. However, we do love connecting with like-minded people at this time (in person or online), so if you have a special cause or community project that you like to engage in, go for it!

It’s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary. In general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others — not in an aggressive way, though… more in a creative manner.

As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone (or a “class” or group of people) is less “special” than you, put your hand over your heart and ask “what would my heart say to this?”

The last time Mars journeyed through Aquarius was April-May 2020. Think back to those times: what got initiated around then? How could you move that to the next level?

If you have an Aries Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking, and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an Aquarius Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 6 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or projects with like-minded people might be advisable. 

Sunday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, Venus changes signs from productive, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-oriented, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until April 5th. This requires that we provide more freedom in our relationships. Basically, we want to improve them, break away from what feels old or stale.

We want our intellectual qualities to be admired; we also want to connect to like-minded people that share our vision so friendships and networking will be favored for the next 4 weeks. We may consider unusual financial investments. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you may feel the need for freedom or change in your relationships more strongly.

Sunday very early morning, the second of two Venus/Mars alignments becomes exact at 2:12am EST. The first conjunction took place in 17º of Capricorn on Feb. 16th. The second is exact in 0º of Aquarius (an exalted degree). We started to feel this aspect build from Feb. 8th on; it will remain strong until March 21st (an unusually long time, due to Venus’ Station + Retrograde phases in Dec./Jan./Feb.). This is a very passionate combination: action and receptivity, assertiveness and allowing.

This alignment represents a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together — in an unusual, yet collaborative way.

Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous when it comes to my communities or networks? What if I responded to situations in a way that is inclusive and serves all those involved? What would it look like if I celebrated and leveraged my courage and any collaborations with like-minded people?

Given that this second combo is taking place in 0º of Aquarius — an exalted degree, and the same degree where we had the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21st, 2020! This is a big deal! A new beginning — a new era!

The Jupiter-Saturn alignment started a 20-year social-economic cycle, that now gets reemphasized on a more personal and individual level via the Venus-Mars alignment — asking us to collaborate with others and keep a vision or a dream for a better future alive in each of us.

==> Feel free to learn more about the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius (as this relates to your own birth chart) here

Venus and Mars normally follow an approximately 2-year cycle, but due to Venus’s Retrograde phase in late 2021/early 2022, the last Venus-Mars cycle has been a short one — only 6 months. However, the next Venus-Mars alignment will not be until 2024, and will also be in Aquarius – so the individual desire for a better, more collaborative, all-inclusive future will be felt for quite a while.

Ask yourself: How might I, as an individual, shape the future of the collective experience? What collaborations might help bring about a better future for all? What actions (large or small) could I take to bring about this vision of an all-inclusive experience for all beings? What roles do “tolerance” and “diversity” play in all of this?

There are some things to watch out for too: being too detached and unfeeling about individual humans, and thus applying peer pressure or inflexible dogmatic visions that don’t honor them but instead ask them to sacrifice themselves for the greater vision or the group.

Ask yourself: Could I notice when my thoughts drift toward thoughts that create separation or seclusion? Can I make an effort to focus on things that support community, collaboration, and diversity?  

The last time we experienced this alignment was in Leo, back in July 2021 (the one before then, was an alignment in Virgo, back in late August 2019): Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-14 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio, or 14-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)

Sunday at 3am EST, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until next week, Tuesday early afternoon (Mach 8th). We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉

And…

A heads up for next Monday (March 7th): The Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It’s also time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions from Monday morning on. The Moon in Taurus conjuncts Uranus, exact at 1:38am EST; it sextiles Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 8:49am EST; it squares Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 4:56pm EST; and it sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 11:03pm EST. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 21st:

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 4:19am EST. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.

We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Wednesday early evening).

Monday, shortly after midnight, at 12:02am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 4.5 hours, until 4:19am EST. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what you want to build long-term.

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

Monday at 4:19am EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” 😉

Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.

The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s thus an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies 🙂

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so best as you are able, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others.

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, we are invited to examine our relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared). Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others, against my wish to honor my personal values and desire for freedom? (Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 12:10am EST Tuesday)

Tuesday, Feb. 22nd:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Monday early morning for details.)

Tuesday late morning, we feel a need to focus on our commitments to our online and local communities, but also a need for deep, authentic — even intimate — connections to others. As best as you can, make adjustments and watch out for becoming rigid, stressed, or anxious. Ask yourself: What if I took just 5% of the pressure off? What if I approached my connections out there in the world 5% less seriously? (Moon in Scorpio squares Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 11:53am EST)

Tuesday around 2pm EST, when Jupiter reaches 12º 22′ of Pisces, it squares Dec. 4th’s Solar Eclipse degree. Eclipses are crossroads or turning points along our Soul’s Journey. They are often marked by events or situations that signify a critical shift in our lives, nudging us to either change and grow, or face greater difficulties at the next turning point. 

Today is that next turning point. Pay attention to any perspective shift around kindness and compassion, beliefs about oneness, spiritual growth, faith in your intuitive Self, or optimism in connection with sensing and feeling things.

Observe how this plays out for you today (Tuesday): What beliefs need to shift? What perspectives need to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to grow emotionally and intuitively — and to release outdated beliefs or perspectives?

Ask yourself: What have I learned since Dec. 4th about my perception of life? What issues have come up around my social, cultural, religious, or media conditioning? Have I been able to grow beyond some of those conditionings? What am I experiencing when I allow myself to be fully present and keep my heart wide open? What can I see now, that I wasn’t able to see 11 weeks ago?

Tuesday late afternoon,  provides an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals? (Moon in Scorpio sextiles Venus in Capricorn, exact at 4:55pm EST)

Tuesday early evening, we have an opportunity to be very focused and persistent in our pursuits. Digging deeper and doing our research will be valuable for our long-term achievements.  (Moon in Scorpio sextiles Mars in Capricorn, exact at 5:58pm EST)

Tuesday evening: we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through, so a gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving, trusting the process, and going with the flow are key! (Moon in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces, exact at 7pm EST)

Wednesday, Feb. 23rd:  

Wednesday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until 8:29am EST (see Monday early morning for details).

Wednesday early morning, at 4:24am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for 4 hours, until 8:29am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.

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

Wednesday at 8:29am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Friday late morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.

We tend to feel more open, optimistic, and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.

As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact this afternoon… more on that in a moment)

Wednesday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 2:12pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening (Feb. 20th) on, and it will remain strong until this Saturday evening (Feb. 26th). This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve — to open and relax.

Creative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take “inspired action”? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Pisces (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)

Wednesday early evening, at 5:32pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 5º of Sagittarius becomes exact. The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate Pisces.

This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed — and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to the next New Moon, which will be exact on March 2nd (in Pisces).

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon — in this case, around Feb. 1st. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 1st? What did it mean for you?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this month’s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have an Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.

Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:35am EST, Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase as it reaches 10º19’ Aquarius. We are ready to process (and share) brand-new information and move forward with anything that has been “on hold” since the Mercury Retrograde (Jan. 14th until Feb. 3rd).

Ask yourself: What is calling out to be resolved? Where am I now able to clearly decide? Where am I ready to gather new information about future visions for my various networks or communities?

As you may recall from earlier blog entries, if you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the shadow periods before and after Mercury goes retrograde.

This is especially true if the items you are thinking about getting are connected to transportation (cars, flight tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, i-pad, etc.) The shadow phase has ended, so feel free to buy, sell, and book whatever your heart desires. Feel free to also read my blog on the subject 😉

This is especially good news for anyone who has a Gemini or Virgo Sun sign or Rising sign 😉

Thursday, Feb. 24th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Wednesday morning for details).

Thursday very early morning, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 12:06am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on, and it will remain strong until Friday evening. We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete minds and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media, or email interactions.

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

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

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 8-13 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).

Thursday late morning, an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 11:04am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on, and it will remain strong until Saturday evening. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social and work-related interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others.

We tend to “feel” each other on an energetic level now, a sensitive approach is therefore recommended. This is also an opportunity for imaginative or romantic interactions. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.

Ask yourself: How might meditation or mindfulness — simply being present in the now-moment to all the energies inside and around me — support my long-term goals and collaborations with others? What might transpire if I brought 5% more compassion and acceptance towards my inner and outer long-term processes?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio, or Taurus? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).

Thursday evening, a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:22pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on, and it will remain strong until Sunday evening. This aspect creates some tension in our lives; we may feel anxious or stressed by a situation involving financial stability, group affiliations, or long-term visions.

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

Our minds may prefer things to be ideal — cool and calm, detached and rational — but at the same time, we feel a great desire for progress and even breakthroughs around our finances or our physical experience of life. The tension between these two desires could leave us feeling irritable, mainly because we also tend to take things quite personally right now; the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous irritable energy into constructive pursuits.

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

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

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

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

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 8-15 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo, and Uranus rules Aquarius).

Thursday late evening, at 10:24pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for 13 hours, until 11:27am EST (Friday late morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.

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

Friday, Feb. 25th:

Friday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoC until 11:27am EST (see Wednesday morning and Thursday late evening for details).

Friday at 11:27am EST, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Sunday early afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and is currently moving through Aquarius, making this a great time to take a look at our visions for humanity, and at anything we would like to accomplish over the long-term within our communities (locally or online).

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people; as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?

Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now, and with where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to?

With the Moon staying in Capricorn until Sunday afternoon, we are starting to see the build-up toward a four-planet line-up, also known as a “Stellium” — in this case, the Moon meets up with Venus, Mars, and Pluto. This Stellium in Capricorn asks us to step into our power and mature to the point where we no longer need to look outside of ourselves for approval or validation — to become the master of our own lives.

Ask yourself: What would it look like if I was able to take 100% responsibility for what I contribute to society? What does being self-reliant look like to me? What if I could do all of the above without self-judgment?

As the third earth sign, Capricorn (at its highest vibration) seeks to create forms that are based on spiritual truths — that all matter is composed of energy, and it is our collective duty to use all energy responsibly. 

Ask yourself: What am I likely to manifest in my own world, given the energies that are part of my creative process every day?

As best as you can, focus on dedication, wholeness, and truth — devote yourself to your true passions, to your heart. We are more likely to want to work towards a goal, to achieve things, give form to something in the external world that aligns with those values. 

Ask yourself: What lies between me and my Authentic Self? Can I actually find any such obstacle if I let go of memories and concepts, and just look here and now?

It’s also worth noting: Success and rewards will come in direct proportion to the amount of authentic passion, integrity, and maturity we bring to the world. Ask yourself: Where do I need to commit more deeply to what really matters? How authentic am I when it comes to my long-term goals? How passionate? How truthful?

I should also mention here that Self-care is of paramount importance during a Stellium in Capricorn. If at all possible, take the pressure off by prioritizing a few minutes of quiet, meditative time at the start and end of each day. In addition, get plenty of rest, and allow for affection and nurturing connections to come your way.

Friday night/Saturday very early morning provides an opportunity to look at our ability to go within, get in touch with our inner divinity, and bring peace and inner knowingness to our long-term commitments. (Moon in Capricorn sextiles Sun in Pisces, exact at 12:10am EST – Saturday)

Saturday, Feb. 26th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn all day (see Friday late morning for details). 

Saturday early morning, we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key 😉 (Moon in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:54am EST)

Saturday morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people, and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment. We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable. (Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 6:40am EST)

Saturday late morning brings an opportunity to find a new perspective to our commitments and need for achievement. Whenever we meditate, bless, or hold loving thoughts, either by ourselves, with others, for ourselves, for others, we create a better reality and get better results. Could I just experiment with this “theory” for the next two hours? What if there was no downside to trying it out? Would I do it then? (Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 9:43am EST)

Please remember that the Moon is still in Capricorn, and tomorrow this will create a “Stellium” (a line-up of four planets) when the Moon meets up with Venus, Mars, and Pluto between 2am and 11:50am EST (Sunday morning). Please see Friday’s forecast for more details.

Sunday, Feb. 27th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn until 1:36pm EST (see Friday late morning for details).

Today, the Moon in Capricorn will create a “Stellium” — a line-up of four planets — as it lines up with Venus, Mars, and Pluto between 2am and 11:50am EST. This has been building since Friday and I recommend you take a look at Friday’s forecast for more details.

Sunday very early morning, around 3am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches almost 24º of Capricorn. This lasts until Wednesday early afternoon, when the New Moon in Pisces becomes exact (more on that next week…however, feel free to watch my video on the subject — will be posted by Friday, Feb. 25th).

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Sunday late morning, at 9:49am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 4 hours, until 1:36pm EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term successes. We might get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care 😉

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

Sunday at 1:36pm EST, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Tuesday afternoon. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.

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

And…

A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 28th): The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day. In the morning, the Moon sextiles Chiron, exact at 7:07am EST; squares Uranus, exact at 8:50am EST; and in the afternoon, it aligns with Mercury, exact at 5:11pm EST. At 9:01pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC for almost 14 hours, until 3:53pm EST (Tuesday afternoon – March 1st); at which time, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until next week, Thursday evening (March 3rd). More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )

February 14th – 20th

by Sonja Francis | Feb 13, 2022 | Astrological Forecasts

Allowing the Masculine & Feminine to Work Together

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Monday early evening; the Sun squares the Moon Nodes on Tuesday late afternoon, and the Sun squares the Nov. 19th, 2021 Lunar Eclipse degree, on Tuesday evening; the Full Moon in Leo becomes exact on Wednesday late morning; the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Friday late morning; and the first US Pluto Return of the year becomes exact on Sunday.

There will only be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for a brief 50 mins); Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday evening (for 4.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, please know:

Until Saturday morning is your last chance to sign up for this week’s Forum!  ==> We have our monthly Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this week…please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Feb. 18th at midnight EST,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 14th:

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:17am EST. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key.

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Monday at 5:27am EST, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), for 50 mins, until 6:17am EST. Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals.

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

Monday at 6:17am EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Wednesday late morning). Feel free to read my Full Moon article here.

We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂 So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can.

Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

Also, Monday early evening, at 4:54pm EST, Mercury changes signs from practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective Aquarius (for the second time this year), where it will journey until March 9th.

Mercury previously journeyed through this visionary sign between January 2nd and 25th, due to its recent Retrograde phase, so think back to those dates and ask yourself: Did I have any insights? Were there any future projects (especially including a cause or group experience) that I wanted to go after?

For the next 3 weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly and offer a different perspective; we enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker, more alert, and our powers of observation are particularly strong.

We have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has a special appeal.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.

Tuesday, Feb. 15th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday late afternoon, around 4pm EST, the Sun squares the Moon Nodes (at 27º10’ of Taurus-Scorpio). The Moon Nodes encode a tremendous amount of information about the current evolutionary process of humanity. They symbolize the path of “Return to Source”, where we remember our inherent divinity and unity.

Squares ask for a shift in perception and direction; they challenge us to go beyond what is divisive and destructive and instead to move towards what creates growth. They mark turning points — and this one is a turning point in our ability to balance our individual self-expression and our collective desires and goals.

We must also find a balance between inner processes and outer focus. We may want to practice going beyond our fears (in general) and attachments to survival strategies (i.e. our conditioning).

Ask yourself: What fears are asking to be faced? What am I ready to let go of? What steps can I take to heal past trauma? Where do I need to decide to step into my own power more fully?

We may also want to make an effort to connect to what’s important to us, to what we truly value (ourselves included).

Ask yourself: Where do I stand when it comes to a healthy sense of Self? What stands between me and “healthy self-esteem”? What’s my relationship to the physical world? To my body? My personal resources?

What’s my relationship to the Earth? Do I see it as my current home? If so, how can I make it a more beautiful home? A thriving home?

Since we are dealing with a lot of Fixed Signs here, it would be futile to get too attached to thoughts, visions, pride, emotional connections, comforts, habits, opinions, etc.

Feel free to learn more about the current Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio (in relationships to your own birth chart) here.

Tuesday evening, around 6pm EST, when Sun reaches 27º14’ of Aquarius, it squares the Lunar Eclipse degree (from Nov. 19th, 2021 — 27º14’ of Taurus-Scorpio). This symbolizes a turning point: what have you been experiencing since Nov. 19th in connection with your own or other people’s resources? How about your intimate relationships and your relationship with yourself?

We are being invited to shift our perspective and go past traumas to a more abundant experience; collaborations of all kind can support us on this path.

On Feb. 19th, we will investigate the upcoming Squares (in late February and early March), to the Eclipse points — in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to align yourself with these evolutionary shifts, join us live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Wednesday, Feb. 16th: 

Wednesday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 3:42pm EST (see Monday morning for details).

Wednesday until midnight EST, is your last chance to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for the upcoming Forecasting Forum.

PLEASE NOTE we will investigate the upcoming Squares (in late February and early March), to the Eclipse points — in relation to our own birth charts. Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking.

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Feb. 18th at midnight EST,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

==> To register for this month only, click here.
Registration includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!

(Please keep in mind: Star Members are automatically registered and will receive an email with the link to join live on Feb. 18th in the late morning and on Feb. 19th, an hour before the live event begins. Please email me right away if you are not receiving your emails).

Wednesday late morning, the first of two Venus/Mars alignments become exact at 9:29am EST, This first conjunction takes place in 17º of Capricorn. The second will be exact in 0º of Aquarius on March 6th. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Tuesday evening (Feb. 8th) on; it will remain strong until March 21st (an unusually long time, due to Venus’ Station + Retrograde phases in Jan./Feb.). This is a very passionate combination: action and receptivity, assertiveness and allowing.

This alignment represents a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together — in a responsible way.

Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous when it comes to my authentic standing in society? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? What would it look like if I celebrated (and leveraged) my courage and collaborative approaches to life’s challenges?

Given that this combo is taking place in Capricorn, we prefer to take a realistic approach, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence and a place in society that reflects our efforts — we definitely also have a desire to “make it”.

There are some things to watch out for too: being too hard on ourselves or others, creating pressure, feeling anxious about achieving our goals, and being inflexibly rule-bound.

Ask yourself: Could I take the pressure off just a tiny bit every day? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? Does that include how I treat myself? Could I allow myself to receive 5% more love and support from trusted sources?

The last time we experienced this alignment was in Leo, back in July 2021, the one before then, was an alignment in Virgo, back in late August 2019: Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 14-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra or 0-14 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)

Wednesday at 11:56am EST, the Moon opposes the Sun in 28 degrees of Leo — and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. We started to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon entered Leo on Monday morning (Feb. 14th). Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.

All Full Moons offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light; they also guide us away from polarization and division, toward balance and integration.

Ask yourself: How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Feb. 1st or 2nd, after the New Moon became exact? What am I aware of at this time?

The balance and integration we seek with this month’s Full Moon is connected to the Aquarius-Leo polarity.

This current Full Moon makes a Quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn, it also squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 2021 and the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio — and, in this Full Moon chart, we also have some opportune planetary connections to Jupiter (the planet of possibility and expansion), which encourage us to release old assumptions and trust new possibilities. I will go into all those in detail in a moment…

As a Member of my online community, if you’d like to learn more about this month’s Full Moon, click here to watch my video.

The Full Moon Squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 2021, making this Full Moon a powerful turning point on our journey towards greater stability — collectively and individually speaking. What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?

If you are familiar with your natal chart, take a look at the Houses involved (connected to the Square between this month’s Full Moon and the Lunar Eclipse from last year November) to see how this might play out for you 😉

If you prefer that I take a look at this for you, feel free to either book a 25-minute Soul Purpose Reading with me, a 25-minute Reading with Lia, or ask your question during the Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 19th.

Now, let’s take a look at this Full Moon’s polarities: Aquarius, along with its co-rulers Saturn and Uranus, deals with the idea of being human, both on an individual level and as a member of the “human family”.

It represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality — paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity.

Leo, on the other hand, is all about our individual self-expression, creativity, our ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart, and inner joy.

This Full Moon is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore the lighter/higher vibrations of Leo. This is an optimistic, and extroverted sign, that represents our capacity to love — and our willpower. It signifies the quest to live from our center, our core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.

This Full Moon reminds us that everyone has the power to make a difference in the world, small or large — and when we join together, that power grows exponentially.

Ask yourself: How could I best honor both my individual self-expression and my interconnectedness with the world? How am I adding my voice (in small ways and large)?

As with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side to be discussed — the Shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon: Aquarius & Leo — and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace. To read about the Shadow side of Aquarius and Leo, and all of the aspects connected to this Full Moon chart, please click here to read the whole article.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 26-29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus or Scorpio? Or 0 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces or Gemini? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Also on Wednesday, at 11:56am EST, as the Full Moon becomes exact, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 4 hours until 3:42pm EST. Use this intuitive time to choose clearly when it comes to creating collaborations around a cause that’s dear to your heart or something in connection to like-minded people.

Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now, and for moving into an intellectually stimulating and inspirational future.

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

Wednesday at 3:42pm EST, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Friday late evening; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might also come into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.

Thursday, Feb. 17th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Wednesday afternoon for details).

Thursday late morning, calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness/anger, leadership, taking actions) — and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines. (Moon in Virgo quincunxes Chiron in Aries, exact at 10:15am EST)

Thursday early afternoon, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable. (Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus, exact at 12:33pm EST)

Thursday evening, an opportune Jupiter/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 7:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Tuesday evening (Feb. 8th), and it will remain strong until next week, Saturday evening (Feb. 26th). This aspect is an opportunity to expand and ground our perspectives around our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity to find unique perspectives that honor our physical world as well as our connection to the divine.

Ask yourself: What if I allowed myself to tap into my intuitive knowing and shared some novel progress-oriented ideas around reinventing our connection to the physical world? What could unfold if I opened my heart to myself and others around unique preferences?

Could I simply be a witness to the shifts that are occurring within and outside of me? How might a new perspective on self-compassion support me in always seeing my value, no matter what the social consensus is?

What might it look like if I released “old” assumptions and trusted new possibilities? What if I experimented with that for the duration of this aspect?

Indeed, we are more attuned to the subtleties of our belief structures (individually and collectively speaking), and are therefore more inclined to dissolve anything that no longer works, all the while trusting the inner guidance of our higher self.

This is an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others from the heart and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”.

We also have a unique opportunity right now to more courageously trust our inner processes, while also allowing the Universe/Source/our Higher Selves to step in and guide us as we expand structures (individually and collectively) that support something sustainable and long-lasting.

Ask yourself: What does this look like for me? How might I contribute to the collective version of that effort? What if I explored things that could make my own and other people’s life easier on a very practical level?

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 9-13 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius or Aquarius (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Uranus rules Aquarius).

Friday, Feb. 18th:

Friday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo until 10:51pm EST (see Wednesday afternoon for details).

Friday all day and Saturday until 10:30am EST, is your last chance to register for the Forecasting Forum, live tomorrow, Saturday at 11:30am EST/4:30pm London-time. Registration includes access to the mp4-video recording of the live event!

PLEASE NOTE we will investigate the upcoming Squares (in late February and early March), to the Eclipse points — in relation to our own birth charts. Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking.

To ask a question in advance; please email me by Feb. 18th at midnight EST,… and if I don’t have it yet, send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).

Other than booking a reading with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s only $37 for the 90+ minute webinar.

Friday late morning, at 11:43am EST, the Sun changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, compassionate Pisces, where it will journey until March 20th. This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional.

We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way. Music or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully — if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.

The keyword here is “allowing”: as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space — allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else’s feelings rather than your own.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Pisces Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Pisces, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.

Friday evening, at 6:20pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for 4.5 hours, until 10:51pm EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other around earthly issues and support each other in practical ways. Your attention to detail is enhanced; you might implement new health routines or other systems that support your long-term goals.

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

Friday at 10:51pm EST, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until next week, Monday early morning (Feb. 21st). The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.

We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” 😉 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.

Saturday morning, we feel social and seek connections to like-minded people. As best as you can, have stimulating conversations — and allow for collaboration.  (Moon in Libra trines Mercury in Aquarius, exact at 7:18am EST)

Saturday late afternoon, we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others.

Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? (Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:58pm EST)

Saturday evening, calls for some inner adjustments, as we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to innovate in the area of our values (and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs); on the other hand, the feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them (and perhaps collaborating). (Moon in Libra quincunxes Uranus in Taurus, exact at 7:06pm EST)

Sunday, Feb. 20th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day (see Friday late evening for details). 

Sunday morning, we sense harmonious connections even though we are focused on making progress. Where our visions for the future are concerned, we are invited to bring a new level of authenticity, and make realistic choices around connecting with others. (Moon in Libra trines Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 6:46am EST)

Sunday late morning, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look to take actions around any long-term goals you are currently pursuing, one step at a time, and find ways to create win-win outcomes for your various one-on-one relationships. (Moon in Libra squares Venus and Mars in Capricorn, exact at 9:33am + 10:25am EST)

Sunday afternoon, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?  (Moon in Libra quincunxes Neptune in Pisces, exact at 2:22pm EST)

Also, on Sunday, the first US Pluto Return of the year (out of three, due to Pluto’s Retrograde phase late April – early Oct.) at 27º33’ of Capricorn becomes exact. Transformation is on the horizon.

This is a once-every-248-year event which facilitates a major breakdown and rebirthing process. Since the United States is a fairly young country, she is experiencing her first ever Pluto Return this year. The re-birthing process is a long one, but the initiation into this process will be completed by Dec. 28th, 2022. A new era begins.

Feel free to also watch my video on the subject .

And…

A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 21st): The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 4:19am EST; shortly after midnight, at 12:02am EST, we enter a Moon VoC for almost 4.5 hours until 4:19am EST; at which time, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday morning (Feb. 23rd). More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, February 7th:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Wednesday early morning. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉

Monday afternoon, take small steps on projects already underway — it’s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all. Or simply take a break and do some Sun Salutations or push-ups 😉 (Moon in Taurus trines Mars in Capricorn, exact at 2:12pm EST)

Also on Monday afternoon, we are asked to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for our visions, and share with them what is important to us. (Moon in Taurus conjuncts Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:22pm EST)

Monday evening, we have the ability to comfortably accomplish things that are aligned with our values, coupled with a nice feeling of ease — rushing is not required or expected of us right now. We are also feeling quite grounded in our connections with others and can be quite “real” with them without causing offense. (Moon in Taurus trines Venus in Capricorn, exact at 7pm EST)

Also, on Monday, Venus resumes her normal pace through the sky, ending her Station phase. What came up in the last three weeks around self-worth? Finances? Social interactions? How about around what you want to attract long-term?

What came up in connection with relationship issues connected to long-term commitments and your long-term goals & aspirations? Or around your relationship to your “inner authority”?

What have you discovered about honoring your boundaries and commitments? What works for you? What doesn’t any longer? How closely are you in touch with an empowered relationship to yourself and your standing in society?

Tuesday, Feb. 8th:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday morning, at 8:50am EST, the first Quarter Moon in almost 20º of Taurus becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus — last week, Sunday early evening (Feb. 6th). The Moon, in steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented Taurus, makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious Aquarius.

We feel compelled to take action. Last week, on Feb. 1st, the New Moon in Aquarius was exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.

As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Taurus, Aquarius, Leo or Scorpio? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Tuesday late morning, a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 9:57am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening (Feb. 4th) on, and it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual — among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel “driven”, especially in new and unusual directions.

It could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes, and connecting to like-minded people.

Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in 8-14 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, or Virgo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Aquarius (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)

Tuesday very late evening, at 11:48pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for a little over 5.5 hours until 5:27am EST (Wednesday morning). If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to empower one another in regard to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.

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

Wednesday, Feb. 9th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains steady, peaceful Taurus and VoC until 5:27am EST (see Monday morning & Tuesday very late evening for details).

Wednesday, at 5:27am EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Friday evening. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible.

“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Wednesday evening, around 8pm EST, when Pluto reaches 27º14′ of Capricorn, it trines the Lunar Eclipse degree (27º14′ Taurus), from Nov. 19th, 2021. This is a point of empowerment if we choose it.

Watch for important insights and developments this evening and tomorrow morning. Our direct experience is our most valuable resource, especially if we allow ourselves to go deeper and be completely authentic with ourselves: How is your sense of self, and your deep connections with others feeling since Nov. 19th?

Observe how this plays out for you this evening: Where (or with whom) am I looking to have a more empowered connection? What am I most aware of? What do I spend my time, energy, and money on? If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value out there in the world?

Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, we are required to make some adjustments — and may need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to our inner or emotional understanding of things. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. (Moon in Gemini squares Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 12:28am EST)

Also, Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:01am EST) 

Thursday, Feb. 10th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Wednesday early morning for details).

Thursday morning, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward mature and cautious actions that build something durable. (Moon in Gemini quincunxes Mars in Capricorn, exact at 6:36am EST) – post at 4:40am EST

Thursday late morning, we feel a little uneasy. We need to develop inner awareness around two seemingly incompatible energies: on the one hand, we feel nudged toward having responsible and committed relationships, and a strong desire for practical goals — and on the other hand, we feel a need to be curious, in constant movement, and gathering or exchanging information/data as much as possible.

Ask yourself: Am I after light, superficial exchanges? Or practical and truthful commitments? Am I interested in gathering information? Or accomplishing something out there in the real world? Am I seeking out new information and keeping an open mind? Am I wanting to keep my mind busy with mental distractions — such as listening to the news or reading about other peoples’ opinions?

What would it look like if I was able to take 100% responsibility for what I contribute to society? What does being self-reliant look like to me? What if I could do all of the above without self-judgment?  (Moon in Gemini quincunxes Venus in Capricorn, exact at 9:35am EST)

Thursday afternoon, we sense harmonious connections even though we are focused on making progress. Where our vision for the future is concerned, we are invited to bring a new level of authenticity, and make realistic choices around connecting with others.  (Moon in Gemini trines Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 3:20pm EST)

Friday, Feb. 11th:

Friday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 6:27pm EST (see Wednesday early morning for details).

Friday very early morning, at 3:23am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that will last for 15 hours, until 6:27pm EST. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people, share your vision, and exchange information with one another.

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

Friday morning, a Mercury/Pluto alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 9:04am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Jan. 26th on (a longer time than usual due to Mercury’s Retrograde and Station phases), and it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (Feb. 15th). 

This is the third time within the last six weeks that we are experiencing this powerful alignment; the first time it was exact, was on Dec. 30th, the second time was on Jan. 28th.

Think back to those times: What did you communicate to others at that time — and how? What came up in a powerful way? Did you get a chance to empower yourself and others? What was your inner dialog all about?

Until Feb. 15th, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession.

Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about — and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully — if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself: What fears or concerns do I need to let go of, to communicate more powerfully and with passion?

Am I living my life from a place of wanting to protect myself from long-term harm or worst-case scenarios? Or with an open heart, feeling empowered in my daily choices?

If you answered “yes” (or “sometimes”) to the first question, ask yourself: Am I ready to let go of thinking or obsessing about worst-case scenarios? Am I ready to trust the process and give myself permission to grieve any losses and let go of the urge to protect myself at any cost?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following placements: 24-29 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer or 0-1 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Scorpio (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)

Friday at 6:27pm EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until next week, Monday morning (Feb. 14th). With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two days 😉

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.

Saturday, Feb. 12th:

Saturday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Friday late morning for details). 

Saturday early afternoon, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 2:07pm EST)

Saturday afternoon, brings a nice feeling of ease and an enhanced ability to connect with others in a gentle way. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing, and allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you. Release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. This is also a great time to explore spiritual, intuitive, or creative endeavors, and for lending loving and nurturing support to others. (Moon in Cancer trines Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 2:35pm EST) 

Saturday late afternoon/early evening, we have an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 4:49pm EST)

Saturday late evening, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future. (Moon in Cancer opposes Mars in Capricorn, exact at 11:21pm EST)

Sunday, Feb. 13th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Friday late morning for details). 

Saturday night/Sunday very early morning, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged; we are invited to balance our need for something familiar against our need for worldly success and status. As best as you can, get in touch with what you truly want and need: Is it the world’s approval or an authentic emotional self-connection? (Moon in Cancer opposes Venus in Capricorn, exact at 12:45am EST) 

Sunday early morning, we are asked to make some inner adjustments, as we may experience some internal discomfort. Personal comfort and safety is important for the Moon in Cancer, yet Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that staying attached to the past is not going to lead to new creations, or bring forth new visions for the future. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 4:33am EST) 

Sunday afternoon, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.  (Moon in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces, exact at 2:15pm EST) 

Sunday evening requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Sun in Aquarius, exact at 9:09pm EST)

And…

A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 14th): the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 6:17am EST; at which time, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday afternoon (Feb. 16th) (this Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon which will be exact Wednesday next week); At 5:27am EST, we enter a Moon VoC for a brief 50 mins until 6:17am EST; Also, at 4:54pm EST, Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius, where it will journey until March 9th. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )

One More Announcement:

Join me for the next FORECASTING FORUM, live on Saturday, Feb. 19th at 8:30am PST/11:30am EST/4:30pm GMT (London-time).

We will investigate the upcoming Squares in late February and early March, to the Eclipse points — in relation to our own birth charts. Eclipses bring big evolutionary shifts, and when a transiting planet squares an Eclipse degree, we are at a turning point — collectively and individually speaking.

What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?

If you want to align yourself with these planetary shifts, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.
