A Larger Perspective — Forecast for March 30th – April 5th

This week’s headline items: Mars changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Monday afternoon; the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Wednesday morning; Venus changes signs from Taurus to Gemini Friday afternoon; also on Friday, Pluto starts its Station phase (slows down/preparing to go retrograde).

There are also two very important conjunctions taking place this week: the Mars/Saturn conjunction in Aquarius on Tuesday afternoon, and the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on Saturday afternoon! We will be talking about both in the upcoming Forecasting Forum on April 6th, in connection with our own Birth charts! Click here to register, if you are not already a Star Member 😉 EARLY BIRD SPECIAL available until this Friday at midnight.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for 20.5 hours), Thursday early afternoon (for a little over 1.5 hours), and Friday late afternoon (for almost 26 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 30th:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. For the next day, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Monday at 11:10am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 20.5 hours until 7:43am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to clarify what’s important to you. Ask yourself: What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? What are my expectations or attitudes towards those things? What new vantage point might show me how to easily implement my business 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 late morning until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

Monday at 3:43pm EDT, Mars changes signs from ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn to freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until May 12/13th. 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-mined 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 May – August 2018, and Sept. – Nov. 2018. 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-mined people might be advisable. 

Monday late evening, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand,…

A Beautiful Healing Experience — Forecast March 23 – 29th

This week’s headline items: the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Tuesday early morning, it’s time to start taking action on our New Moon intentions on Sunday, and Mercury exits its post-Shadow phase on Sunday.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 10 hours), Thursday very early morning (for almost 6.5 hours) and Saturday evening (for 2.5 hours).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

On Sunday (March 29th) at 2am, Daylight Savings Time begins in the UK and Europe — which means that we now all have Summer Time, and converting to your time zone will be the same as it is for most of the year — for example, for the UK it will be the usual 5 hours again.

Also, my husband and I recorded a video chat earlier today with a dear friend of ours who is an awakening consciousness teacher and coach (David Ellzey). And I wanted to share this conversation with you. It is about the current state of affairs seen from all different perspectives and it might help to hear what all three of us had to say and contribute to that conversation. Click here to watch.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 23rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 8:58pm EDT. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.

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

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

Monday very early morning, a Mars/Pluto alignment in almost 25 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 1:21am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Wednesday evening (March 18th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday. 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 take actions on them, one way or another.

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

Mars last aligned with Pluto in late April of 2018; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra or Aries? 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)

Monday at 10:51am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 10 hours until 8:58pm EDT. 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 Monday late morning until the late evening ahead of time.

Monday at 8:58pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday late 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. This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the New Moon (exact on Tuesday early morning)… more on that later… and in the meantime, feel free to watch my New Moon video for more info.

Monday late evening, we get an opportunity to…

Stay Very Present & Grounded in Reality – Forecast for March 16th – 22nd

This week’s headline items: Mercury changes signs again (from Aquarius to Pisces), very early on Monday morning; the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius also becomes exact on Monday early morning; the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, late Thursday evening — in the Northern hemisphere, this also marks the Spring Equinox; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Friday very early morning; and Saturn changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Saturday late evening, giving us a preview of what’s to come in December.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for almost 7 hours), Wednesday evening (for a brief 28 minutes), and Friday early morning (for 27.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 16th:

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 12:25pm EDT. 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, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take 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 started the build up towards the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius (exact later this morning).

Monday early morning, at 3:42am EDT, Mercury leaves freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, and moves into creative, compassionate Pisces. It will journey through this dreamy, creative sign until April 11th. We are moving from the mind into the heart.

Due to Mercury’s recent Retrograde phase, Mercury journeyed through Pisces previously, between Feb. 3rd and March 4th. Think back to that time: What did you communicate to others at that time — and how? What came up intuitively? Did you get a chance to tune in or rest more? What was your inner dialog all about?

For these next 3.5 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. As best as you can, use your imagination to create something heart-based, rather than fear-based.

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, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you 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.  

Monday at 5:34am EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 26 degrees of Sagittarius will be 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 24th (in Aries)

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon — in this case, around Feb. 23rd. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 23rd? What did it mean for you?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-28 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 our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.

Also, Monday, at 5:34am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 7 hours until 12:25pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to allow for some adjustments. Honor both your need for adventure & exploration of life, and your need to go within.

Tune in frequently during this time, and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, allow for daydreaming, naps, or intuitive self-expression.

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 until the early afternoon ahead of time.

Monday at 12:25pm EDT, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.

As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. For starters: Do you truly see…

Discern without Judgment — Forecast for March 9th – 15th

This week’s headline items: the Super Full Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday afternoon. Late Monday evening, Mercury comes to a halt, beginning its post-Shadow phase and ending its 3-week Retrograde phase; on Sunday, the planet’s Station phase ends and it resumes its regular pace through the sky.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday early morning (for a 1.5 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over an hour) and Saturday morning (for an hour).

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have two quick announcements:

If you missed my Forecasting Forum on Sunday morning… and still would like to learn how the current planetary alignments are impacting you personally… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about Mercury going direct in 28º Aquarius & the Super Full Moon in Virgo — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…

To purchase this webinar, click here. Before you invest in the whole 90+ min. webinar, feel free to watch a 18-min excerpt here.

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on March 8th in the evening 😉

Now, this week’s Forecast…

Monday, March 9th:

Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement from Sunday morning (March 8th) on, started the build up towards the Full Moon (exact this afternoon).

As mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance into Virgo started the energetic build up towards the Full Moon that will be “exact” today (Monday) at 1:48pm EDT in a little over 19.5 degrees of Virgo.

This particular Full Moon has a heightened effect on us, as it is also a SuperMoon (i.e., the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth); SuperMoons generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic pulls on our physical and emotional bodies — and pull more powerfully on our psyches too, increasing emotionality and fostering larger shifts in consciousness.

If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my video for more.

Ask yourself: How far have I come with the Intentions I set around Feb. 23rd’s New Moon? If I’m not where I’d like to be with those intentions, what new course might take me closer to my goals?

A Full Moon is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites. Very often, we experience this through our interactions with others, and since these interactions are also the pathway to resolution, relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.

In this case, the Moon in Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces (if you are already familiar with this polarity, feel free to skip ahead to the aspects involved in this Full Moon chart…)

Virgo seeks personal wholeness, while Pisces reminds us of a transcendent wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.

Virgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else — when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves.

Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels: We are invited to discern what’s real, so we can make healthier choices.

To find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself…  to read the whole Full Moon article click here, and get all your Full Moon Coaching Questions!

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 17-22 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius ? If so, this month’s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Monday at 11:49pm EDT, Mercury comes to a halt at 28º of Aquarius — ending its 3-week Retrograde phase, and slowly starts its direct motion. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its Shadow phase…more on that later.

We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your intuitive knowingness and inner divinity over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to your future vision or what you feel intuitively connected to?

When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by March 15th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.

Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in the following: 26-29 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, or 0 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius.

Also, Monday, Mercury’s post-Shadow phase begins — lasting until March 29th…. as you may recall, I mentioned Mercury Shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde, and after it goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to…
