Join me as I share about:
*The first of two Venus/Mars alignments become exact on Feb. 16th (strong from Feb. 8th until March 21st — an unusually long time, due to Venus’ Station + Retrograde phases in Jan./Feb.)
*This first conjunction takes place in 17º of Capricorn. *The second will be exact in 0º of Aquarius on March 6th.
👉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)
My next MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM — which is a 90-minute webinar — will be on Saturday, Feb. 19th at 8:30am PST/11:30am EST/4:30pm GMT (London-time).
We will investigatethe 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 know how these planetary shifts are going to impact you personally, SIGN UP to join the webinar LIVE, orregister to receive an mp4/video presentation within 24 hours of the live event.
Other than booking a reading with me, this is the maximum level of support I offer — and it’s *only $37* for the 90+ minute webinar.

Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart — Mercury and Venus are both Retrograde, while Uranus is exalted, and will come to a halt only 15.5 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact. Neptune supports the integration of the Full Moon polarity, while Pluto intensifies it; Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) aligns with Mercury in Aquarius and both square an exalted Uranus in Taurus… and all play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment.
But first, let’s talk about this month’s Full Moon: This Lunation shows us how well we are doing with self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also where we are in connection to greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.
Ask yourself: What’s my relationship to self-care and where do I feel most “at home”? What’s my understanding of my emotional needs? How might an emotional connection to myself and loved ones be of benefit to me? How might it shift my priorities?
Cancer is the first of the water signs and is therefore emotional and mercurial (like a river or a stream). Feelings are real, but may not always seem rational… until we can identify the underlying, unmet need connected to a particular feeling.
We all have needs. For example: we all have a need for love or approval, for control (or not feeling out of control), a need for safety or security, for human connection or a heart connection to a living being, and a need for autonomy or independence.
Our feelings reflect whether our needs are being met. Feeling happy, peaceful, and open indicates that our needs are being met. When we feel “negative emotions” (e.g. stressed, depressed, angry/frustrated, etc.) it’s clear that at least one important need is not being met.
If you are feeling any of the latter emotions, ask yourself: Which of my needs is not being met at this time? Am I lacking (and therefore “wanting”) approval, love, control, safety, or security? Am I wanting to feel connected, closer, or do I want to be separate? And whichever one it is, could I let go of “wanting” that, just for this now moment?
In other words, could I let go of the idea that I am lacking something? Would I? In other words, am I willing to let go, just as best as I can, just for right now? When? (This last question is an invitation to let go right here, right now).
By the way, if you enjoyed those questions, or are intrigued, they come from The Sedona Method – a set of processes I use extensively in my coaching work, that are very subtle and powerful. For more info about my Coaching-Healing sessions, click here.
Now, let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon…

Now, let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon: The Moon in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer opposes the Sun in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn.
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our personal feelings and emotional needs (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn).
It’s important to realize that we all have limitations and challenges in life — and when we approach those in a nurturing way, taking care of our feeling body and inner baby, and allowing ourselves to receive support from family or “familiar” connections”, we are more likely to overcome those challenges and be realistic about limitations — our own, and other people’s.
Ask yourself: How am I balancing the demands of my outer and inner life? Home life vs. career? Where am I able to be mature and self-reliant — and also contribute? Where am I giving too much? Not enough?
Any Full Moon also has us look more closely at the denser vibrations or shadow components of the energies involved. Cancer must learn about receiving and developing healthy roots; Capricorn, about giving back and sharing the fruits of its labor.
With Cancer, this is also our ability feel safe from within — but what protected us in the past may no longer work — our needs may have changed over time.
Ask yourself: Where do I have the tendency to hold on to the past? Where am I holding on simply because it is familiar? Where am I resisting change?
The more we disregard our own feelings and needs, the greater the risk that we will violate the concerns and rights others.
Ask yourself: What happens when I don’t allow myself to feel my feelings or acknowledge my needs? Where do I need to shed my defenses? Where do I need to establish better boundaries? Where do I react instead of respond?
The latter question is so important that I created a webinar around it: “React vs. Respond — Where in the chart can we learn about our emotional maturity?”. This webinar comes with really great handouts that are very useful for understanding your own relationship to emotional maturity.
If you haven’t seen it yet, click here for more info! Remember: This webinar is discounted until Jan. 23rd with discount coupon EVERYTHING4LESS.
Let’s take a look at some other aspects of this Full Moon chart, starting with the most exact ones: The Sun is in a very close alignment with Pluto in Capricorn.
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?
Pluto in Capricornchallenged us to face our fears, shift our relationship to the material plane, and reclaim our power. We are being asked to bring conscious awareness to how we use our essence and purpose out there in the world. This provides an opportunity to truly align with what brings emotional and material security to our world.
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 inner values and needs.
Ask yourself: What lies between me and my Authentic Self? If I let go of memories and concepts, and just look here and now, can I actually find an obstacle?
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?
The Moon is the ruler of Cancer, and is currently in its own sign, opposing not only the Sun in Capricorn, but also Pluto.
The Moon’s opposition to the Sun/Pluto alignment in Capricornurges us to pay the same attention to our inner world as we pay to our responsibilities in the outer. Ask yourself: What are my physical- and my feeling-bodies telling me? What is “Life” trying to tell me?
What do I need to change to be better aligned with my needs? Do I need to move? Pursue another vocation? Heal something from the past? Where do I need to feel more empowered? What relationships need to be transformed? What if fear was the only thing holding me back from a fulfilling life?
This opposition also asks us to balance a loving, caring connection with ourselves and others, against our desire to achieve our long-term goals out there in the world.
As best as you can, steer by your own inner compass, and bring your authentic self to the world in a spirit of integrity and responsibility — and keep in mind, as we heal our personal history, we become a source of light and support for others.
Ask yourself: What would self-responsible self-care look like? How does my inner life inform my outer? Where is there still room for healing when it comes to my own personal history?
When we understand the Cancer energy fully, we have learned about self-care and receiving — not just giving, or helping others — while with Capricorn, we eventually learn about giving back, not just accomplishing for personal gain or reaching a higher status.
Ask yourself: Where might the balance lie between self-nurturing and self-care, versus achieving my goals? Are those things really in conflict? Am I doing what I want to do, or what I think I “should” do?
Am I more connected to what nurtures me — or to my “shoulds”? Does my current environment/home support my inner & outer growth? Does it provide nourishing bonds with others? How does all this affect my contribution to the world? My standing in society?
And of course, as always when Cancer and Capricorn are involved: take baby-steps (or if you prefer, “take it one day at a time” 😉 Ask yourself: Why would I sprint if walking got me there at the perfect time?
Check to see where any urge toward rushing or “getting there” comes from — is that coming from a place of fear or love?
We also have some more harmonious connections to the Full Moon:
Neptune trines the Moon in Cancer and sextiles the Sun-Pluto alignment in Capricorn. This means that when we focus on the Neptune energies we have a much easier time integrating/balancing the Cancer-Capricorn energies.
Neptune symbolizes unconditional love and unity consciousness; intuition, creativity, and compassion, as well as inspirational energy through art, meditation, and/or time in nature are all connected to the Neptune energies as well.
Ask yourself: Could I look beyond the mind and tap into the larger field of energy all around me? What nourishes my soul? Could I make time for silence, surrender, and self-reflection? Even if it’s seems impossible… just a few minutes every day?
When we are in a state of “flow” and connect to others from the heart (Neptune in Pisces) we relax, and that in turn supports our ability to take care of ourselves (Cancer) and achieve our goals out there in the world (Capricorn).
Ask yourself: How might self-compassion support my practices of self-care? How might nurturing myself support true self-acceptance and self-kindness? Might it also help grant acceptance and kindness toward others? And even the world at large?
Surrendering our fears about our position in the world and our achievements gets a little easier when we trust our intuitive heart; each moment can potentially become an unfolding that empowers us to be authentically ourselves out there in the world and nurture ourselves.
Ask yourself: Is it at least possible that combining my imagination with trust in divine guidance would support me in effortlessly reaching my long-term goals? What might be possible if I also heeded subtle messages from my intuitive heart that stir me toward the kind of success that empowers me and others?
What if I brought 5% more self-compassion to every moment while working towards a balance between achievement and self-care? Could I do that just by checking in with myself from time to time?
Some other important aspects worth mentioning are: Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn) aligns with Mercury in Aquarius(currently retrograde) and both square an exalted Uranus in Taurus.
So before we go into this, let’s address the Retrograde phases & Uranus being exalted:
Mercury in Aquarius & Venus in Capricorn are both Retrograde at the time of the Full Moon, indicating that we need to look back before we can look ahead; Retrograde phases also give us a chance to go within and see if the outer aligns with the inner and vice versa. We are also getting a chance to resolve any issues connected to the planets in retrograde motion.
Ask yourself: What relationships need to be reviewed? What issues are asking to be resolved? What long-term financial goals need a second look? What are my career aspirations telling me? What needs to be brought back into balance in my life? What roles do self-responsibility and self-mastery play in all of this?
Could I permit myself to get in touch with my unique spark? What needs to be addressed with regards to any group experiences, humanitarian causes, or technology? If I knew I actually could make a difference, where would I begin?
Uranus comes to a halt (stations direct) at almost 11 degrees of Tauruson Jan. 18th and ends its 5-months Retrograde phaseonly 15.5 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact.
The planet’s energy is “louder” because it is moving so slowly; it will be exalted until Jan. 30th, emphasizing the Square to Saturn — this Square will not be exact again this year, but the two contrary energies of Uranus and Saturn will remain within 10º of each other for all of 2022.
It’s time to make a real – in other words, not merely cosmetic — change in at least one area of our life. Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury, increasing our access to innovative thinking and alternative solutions; its Station phase could also coincide with revelations, reversals, or other unexpected events, such as earthquakes, or severe weather.
Collectively, Uranus in Taurus adds even greater emphasis to the urgency of changing our relationship with the Earth — from domination and exploitation, to stewardship and co-creation.
Ask yourself: Looking back over the past 5 months,what have I learned about honoring my body? What about my material and financial resources? Or my talents? In what ways have I disagreed with other people’s values? Am I ready to honor my own unique approach? Where am I ready to take a big leap forward?
Now let’s get back to Saturn,the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn is currently in Aquarius, and Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is currently in Taurus. Uranus still squares Saturn most of 2022.A Square always invites us to find creative solutions and to stretch ourselves and grow beyond our past capabilities.
As the Saturn/Mercury alignment in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus at the time of this Full Moon, the next two weeks may find us becoming quite eager, both collectively and individually speaking, to make some essential changes in our lives.
We are invited to stay detached in our social dealings with others and honor our own individuality without making anyone else wrong for being different.
Since this is a Closing Square, we are looking for practical solutions; change needs to proceed from a level of maturity that is informed by our experience of what didn’t work before.
It becomes very clear with this combo that humanity’s evolution and survival lies in equality, collaboration, and respect for the Earth and all its inhabitants.
How quickly this shift happens depends on the choices each one of us makes on an individual level. It is helpful to remember that as the “old” falls away, progress is taking place, always — even if not visible to the naked eye.
Ask yourself: If I wanted to put a solid foundation under my effort to inspire collaboration in my various communities, where would I lay the cornerstone? Could I give other people’s “choosing” the space that it needs, so I can honor what’s important to me, without taking things personally?
What might a co-creative process with our planet and the Universe look like? What is my unique value in all of this?
Again, it is helpful to remember that as the old falls away, progress is taking place. Envision the world in which you wish to live and move steadily towards that.
Another big evolutionary shift that happens on January 18th, only 20 hours after the Full Moon becomes exact: the Moon Nodes will move from Gemini-Sagittarius to Taurus-Scorpio, where they will remain until July 17th, 2023!
The Moon Nodes represent our Soul’s Journey – collectively and individually speaking. This shift thus constitutes a new Soul’s Journey, one that emphasizes making more of an effort to honor ourselves, our bodies, possessions, talents, material and financial resources, our planet and its resources — in short, anything we value.
We are also invited to release or redefine our relationship to trauma stemming from our past — and also redefine our intimate relationships, death and rebirth, endings and beginnings — in other words, the cycles of life.
After Jan. 18th, ask yourself: How can I best align myself with this new collective Soul’s Journey in the Taurus-Scorpio polarity? What do I truly value? What deserves my attention, appreciation, and care? Which of my values stem from social conditioning? Which need to change?
How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate from survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?
In our next Monthly Forecasting Forumon Saturday, Jan. 22nd, we’ll be taking a look at the Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio, in relationship to our own birth charts.
For example, we will investigate what old traumas we are looking to release or become aware of, over the next 18 months. What feels disempowering and no longer relevant? What needs to be transformed, so we can thrive and feel abundant?
If you want to align yourself with this evolutionary shift, join us live, or get the mp4-video presentation of the live event. Either way, if you are not yet a Star Member, register now!

To sum it all up: Honor your feelings and needs, so you can build something of value, and share the fruits of your labor with the world. As best as you can, be kind, gentle, compassionate, and accepting of yourself — this will help balance the Cancer/Capricorn polarities.
Ask yourself: What if I brought 5% more compassion and love to every moment while working towards my achievement? Could I do that just by checking in with my physical and emotional needs from time to time?
Before we can release the old, we must become aware of it, and finish feeling any lingering emotional residues — rage, shame, hatred, jealousy, judgment— whatever has been stored in our unconscious.
This Full Moon holds a major breakthrough energy: if we are able to keep breathing, keep feeling, keep witnessing, and remember that we are all participating in an unprecedented, evolutionary shift, we can drop centuries of old programming. We are divine beings remembering who we really are. We are learning to choose from love rather than fear.
Ask yourself: What if I trusted the timing of things just 5% more? What might result from closing my eyes for a minute or two, now and then, to take a moment with myself, to tune in and center myself?
During these next 2 weeks, self-care definitely deserves our attention… Make sure you get plenty of rest, affection, water, and healthy amounts of nutritious foods 😉

New Moons are good times to reflect on our lives and set new intentions. This is therefore a good time to go within, to plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond.
In Capricorn, this New Moon directs us to reassess our relationship to power and authority. The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video 🙂
The highest vibration of Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, the ability to set realistic goals and establish healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work some more on these areas.
This is the first New Moon of the year, and since Capricorn represents the quest for self-mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include:
What is my relationship to self-mastery? Am I going about things in a realistic way? What does “setting healthy boundaries” look like to me? What do I know about my own limitations? Other people’s? What are my priorities in connection with long-term goals? What does the word “integrity” bring out in me? Where am I on the road to self-mastery?
As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments, and recognize responsibilities — in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner.
Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time — this is not about immediate results, it’s about the quality of the foundation you are building.
Capricorn also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Ask yourself: Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where am I not? What might I be afraid of when I don’t?
Capricorn relates directly to the level of our maturity. Ask yourself: What would taking 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved?
Do I respect the laws of matter? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? How committed am I to that?
Let’s talk about some of the aspects connected to this particular New Moon chart…

Let’s talk about some of the aspects connected to this particular New Moon chart:
The New Moon squares Chiron in Aries and trines Uranus in Taurus. Let’s start with the Trine (since it is closer in degrees):
Uranus always brings a certain level of creativity and reinvention to the table. Ask yourself: How might new, fresh, and practical ideas create progress with my long-term goals? What is asking to be reinvented? Where might I find something unexpected that could change my connection to my inner authority? How about with authority figures out there in the world?
The New Moon’s Square to Chiron could cause us to feel impatient and/or triggered, so definitely bring as much compassion and kindness to yourself and others as you can muster — this is an opportunity to embrace our own humanity. Compassion is key!
Ask yourself: Other than career and long-term goals, where could I channel my impatient “masculine” energies into something that satisfies me on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level?
Jupiter re-enters the sign of Pisces on Dec. 28th, only 5 days before the New Moon becomes exact. It will stay in this creative, sensitive sign until May 10th, 2022. Thus, it will be in 0 degree of Pisces at the time of the New Moon —> an exalted degree!!!!
Jupiter entered Pisces for the first time last May, on the 13th (to be exact), and remained there until July 28th, 2021.
Think back to that time and ask yourself: What was in the way of a connection to my inner divinity back then? What prevented me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance? What have I learned about my intuitive knowing since then? Is there more to learn?
Jupiter squares the Moon Nodes in Gemini-Sagittarius in this New Moon chart:
This Square invites us to take a closer look at our belief system and social-cultural conditioning, open our hearts, and make choices accordingly. We are asked to look for solutions that stem from a deep understanding of oneness and interconnectedness with all that is alive on this planet.
Ask yourself: What road might lead to greater heart connections? What might open up if I became more connected to the part of me that is pure love? What if I took a 5% more positive attitude towards human life and all its paradoxes?
Here are some more questions: What might it look like for me personally if the deepest perspective shift was not political, or scientific, but spiritual? What might promote a spiritual perspective around my connection to all of my surroundings? What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”?
Given that it rules Capricorn, Saturn’s placement in Aquarius plays an important role with this New Moon. Saturn is associated with the Law of Karma, i.e. with the natural result of our actions — what we sow, we reap. In Aquarius, Saturn invites us to focus on (and build) communities that are sustainable and self-responsible.
We are sovereign beings who have “choice”. Ask yourself: Where could I take 5% more responsibility for a choice I made?
What might I do differently if I knew for certain that all of my choices had social as well as personal consequences? Might I slow down and take more time with certain choices? Might I do the groundwork and be especially discerning if that meant I could make better choices that create more beneficial outcomes for everyone?
Saturn in Aquarius still squares Uranus in Taurus in this New Moon chart. And this ongoing Square is asking us to find creative ways to stretch ourselves when we feel the pull between control and freedom, tradition and progress. It also promotes social, economic, and environmental reform. Squares involving Uranus always offer opportunities for major breakthroughs.
Ask yourself: What if I could help birth a new age and with it a new world based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms that honor our bodies and the planet we live on? What if there were big, bold ways I could do that? What if there were small, simple ways?
We are continually invited to step up in the world and become mature, responsible planetary citizens while honoring our individuality — in other words, making a difference one by one, even when it seems as though we are too small to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something…
As best as you can, observe your mind: What future am I focused on? How might “holding space” for myself and others contribute to a better future?
Saturn in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries. This combo presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring progress in our various communities, maybe even worldwide — we are more powerful than we realize, especially when we come together.
Ask yourself: Could I inspire others even if I let them see that I have vulnerabilities and I am human? What might become possible if I allowed myself to be both courageously vulnerable and committed to building sustainable collaborations that serve humanity?
Mercury enters Aquariusless than 12 hours before the new Moon becomes exact. It will be in 0 degrees of this forward-thinking sign, also an exalted degree!
This reminds us that where we focus our mind is important — that our thoughts and words create our future — they matter!Ask yourself:What thoughts and words might inspire a better future? What might become possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog and the energy those thoughts disperse?
Remember that not all “change” is “progress”. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to look beyond the obvious.
I should also mention here that Mercury is already in its pre-Shadow phase at the time of the New Moon. It entered this Shadow phase on Dec. 29th when it reached 24.5º of Capricorn and it will remain there until January 14th when it comes to a halt in 10º of Aquarius.
For those of you who do not know what a pre-Shadow phase is, it means that for the next 2 weeks we will be traveling through territory that we will later revisit during Mercury’s Retrograde phase.
From Dec. 29th – Jan.14th, pay attention to what comes up around long-term goals, business interactions, and visions for your various communities, networks, and like-minded people. You may need to revisit certain conversations, ideas, or interactions for greater inner clarity during Mercury’s Retrograde phase (Jan. 14th – Feb. 3rd).
Speaking of Retrograde phases, Venus in Capricorn, still aligned with Pluto, has gone retrogradeon Dec. 19th and is therefore moving backward (as seen from the Earth’s perspective) in this New Moon chart.
Venus in her Retrograde phase invites us to reevaluate our long-term goals and business partnerships. It also invites us to connect internally to our own inner authority and sovereign nature.
Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more realistic about what I have to offer the world? Where are my limitations? Are there any obstacles to achieving my long-term goals? If so, where are they? What is my relationship to “commitments”? Responsibility? Self-mastery?
Do my internal commitments align with my values? How about my external commitments? Or the reality of my finances? Or setting healthy boundaries in my various relationships?
If you would like to learn more about Venus’ 6-week Retrograde phase in Capricorn and how this is going to impact you personally, I recommend you get the mp4-video presentation “Venus Retrograde Dec.- Jan. 2021/22″ — and see how it relates to your own Birth Chart. To purchase this webinar, click here.
Venus’ alignment with Pluto at the time of the New Moon, invites us to confront our fears and face our shadow issues as they pertain to power and authority — our own, and other people’s.
Ask yourself: Are there any old ways of being that I need to shed? Anything that still feels disempowering to me? Where do I still look outside of myself for permission or approval? For what’s “right” or “wrong”?
Who are my “favorite” people to give my power to? This could be a relative or a friend, but it could also be a public figure or person with social authority such as a doctor, scientist, politician, news anchor, etc.
Where might it serve me to dig deeper? Dig clear to the bottom of things? Discover the root causes?
Where am I experiencing quick-fix responses or behaviors in my life? What would a real change look like? What needs to “die” for something new and stronger (or more authentic) to be “born” in its place? What fears are holding me back from making real changes?
Pluto’sinvolvementcould foster an all-or-nothing attitude over the next 28 days towards our long-term goals, or our standing in society — in fact, we might become obsessed over those things — and/or it might bring up a fear of “losing control”.
It’s important to stay heart-centered and grounded — engage tools or people where possible, to help you let go of your fears and surrender to the power of your Soul that resides within you.
If you get obsessed about your accomplishments out there in the world, as best as you can, remind yourself to slow down and take breaks. Ask yourself: Am I driven by fear or love/passion? If fear, worry, concerns, etc. are present, could I simply acknowledge that experience?
Close your eyes, and ask yourself: Is what I am afraid of real right here, right now, or is it a projection into the future? If the latter is the case, could I let go of “expecting” (or even in some weird way “wanting”) to create this future for myself?
Could I choose more powerfully? Could I choose a future that allows me to feel empowered, no matter what the circumstances?
To sum all of this up: We are invited to direct our attention to what needs to change — individually and collectively. Change is not always easy, and sometimes it can be downright unpleasant, but it is necessary if we are to move towards a world that we want to live in and share with one another.
You could ask yourself here: What kind of future do I envision for myself and for all beings on this planet? What realistic baby steps can I take to move towards this future? Where is it best to be flexible? And on the other hand, where must I remain focused and stay aligned with my visions or preferences?
This New Moon conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality and about our relationship to power or to “feeling empowered”.
Ask yourself: What might I notice 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?
This New Moon also calls us to stand for love, for truth, for unity. It reminds us that each one of us can be a powerful agent of change through our thoughts, words, and actions.
As best as you can, keep breathing, feeling, witnessing — and remember, we are all participating in an unprecedented evolutionary shift. We are divine beings living in a dense physical reality attempting to remember who we really are and what we came here to do.
Choose wisely for 2022 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from the knowledge of your inner strength and personal power —> the power of your heart and your humanity!
This quote from Matt Kahn fits beautifully here: “May all beings be safe. May all beings be valued. May all beings be healed. May all beings be whole. May all beings be free — and may it begin with you and me. Please use this as a grounding tool and a centering mantra whenever hope feels lost. The world is ascending no matter how it looks in its transition from one paradigm to another.”
[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 10-15 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. 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 the month’s Moon cycle — and the very best time to do this is after the New Moon becomes exact (but definitely not during a Moon void of course).
So this month, there are two best and most potent times to set intentions — the first would be any time between 1:33pm on Sunday, Jan. 2nd, and 11:21am on Monday late morning, Jan. 3rd — and the second would be between Monday late afternoon at 5:44pm and Tuesday early afternoon at 1:33pm (EST/New York time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and/or following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions 😉

On June 24th, at 2:40pm EDT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 3.5 degrees of Capricorn. This Full Moon also marks the end of Eclipse season. Yay! We have received our consciousness upgrades and can now move forward with any intentions we set mid-June.

This Full Moon has heightened effects on us for many reasons: first, it is a “SuperFull Moon” (i.e. the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth).
Secondly, lots of planets are involved in this Super Full Moon chart — Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, Mercury, Chiron, Uranus, and Mars — and all play an important role, so buckle up!
We have three planets that are stationing (and thus exalted) at the time of this Full Moon — Neptune, Jupiter and Mercury — indicating that something is in our face and demands our awareness; we must pay attention to whatever comes up in connection with those energies.
In addition, we have a fixed T-Square and a Grand Fire Trine in this Full Moon chart, as well as four oppositions, all positively aspected by one of those planets mentioned above (Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron and Mars). More details in a moment…
First, let’s take a look at the polarities involved in this Full Moon: The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn opposes the Sun in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer.
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the connection we have to our feelings and emotional needs, plus our ability to feel emotionally connected to others (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals out there in the world (Capricorn).
It’s important to realize that our long-term goals need our attention — and that they could be the very thing that might bring the fulfillment and inner stability we seek. A realistic approach will work best here!
Ask yourself: Where might the balance point be between the demands of my inner and outer life? If I listened 5% more closely to my feelings, my body, and my intuition, might I be able to find that balance point more quickly?
Capricorn seeks to develop an internalized sense of authority and responsibility. This Full Moon is therefore asking us to look closely at how we balance taking care of ourselves (Cancer), versus how we want to contribute to the world at large (Capricorn) — in other words, where we have reached our limit, and where we need to set some priorities.
Ask yourself: What importance does nourishment have in my life? Do I know when I feel nourished? Physically? Emotionally? Spiritually? Mentally? Do I feel a connection with all of life? What’s keeping me separate, limited, or in fear? Could I be honest about that? And once I have acknowledged what that might be, could I decide to let it go, just for right now?
Any Full Moon also has us look more closely at the denser vibrations or shadow components of the energies involved. With Cancer, this is our ability to…

With Cancer, this is our ability to receive, and to feel safe from within — but what protected us in the past may no longer be the answer, as our needs may have changed over time.
Ask yourself: Where am I holding on simply out of familiarity? What do I need to feel safe in the world?
What if self-care led to self-alignment? What if the same were true of nurturing my feeling body? Given those possibilities, might it be worth spending 5% more time and energy on self-care, just as an experiment?
With Capricorn, we need to take a look at those parts of ourselves that are domineering, rigid, unforgiving, self-servingly ambitious, status-seeking, and hierarchical.
As best as you can, be really honest with yourself, and ask: What is my relationship to “control”? Where do I try to control life? Other people? Where do I control myself by suppressing my needs or feelings? Is it at least possible that a slower step-by-step approach might improve my ability to be present to what’s needed in the moment?
Let’s take a look at some other aspects of this FM chart, starting with the Moon’s Ruler: The rulers of Capricorn (Saturn) is in Aquarius at the time of the Full Moon.
Saturn trines the North Node in Gemini and sextiles the South Node in Sagittarius, giving us an opportunity to deal with the Gemini/Sagittarius polarity by setting healthy boundaries and taking responsibility for our part in the collective story and journey.
Ask yourself: What are some sustainable, realistic goals I could set in my communities or with like-minded people? How might focusing on the part I play in the collective journey — and taking responsibility for my own limitations — create a better dialog with others out there?
This quote from David Spangler’s Newsletter felt very apropos to what’s going on right now energetically speaking: “We shape our world by the questions we ask—and by those we fail to ask. It may be that as we move forward into our future, the truly Big Questions will become “How Might I Help?” and “What Can We Do Together?” or “How Can We Collaborate?” These are the questions that form connections and foster participation. I think of them as “partnering” questions. Answering them enables us to build community and get things done. They open the door to collaboration that can help resolve challenges with grace and skill, creativity and resilience. If we want to build a better world for ourselves and our children and grandchildren, it’s the “Partnering Questions” that will help shape it into being.”
Saturn is also part of a T-Square in this Full Moon chart: Uranus in Taurus as the Focal point, squaring Mars in Leo (on one side) and Saturn in Aquarius (on the other side). So let’s unpack all of that:
All of this creates some tension, but also an invitation to innovate and also to clarify our priorities. We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or interaction involving a network of friends or like-minded people. It’s a time when it’s especially good to be aware of our limitations and reactions.
We are asked to stretch and grow by taking a look at our individualistic spirit — and in what way we feel connected to that (Uranus represents the spiritual principle of freedom, creative thought, innovation, and progressive change). We are also invited to acknowledge any restrictions or limitations that we are experiencing in our creative self-expression of ourselves, our desire for fun and joy in life.
Ask yourself: What if I thought of all “change” as progress? What would it look like if I gave myself and others the space we all deserve and need at this time?
Taking Taurus into account, together with the fact that Uranus has been squaring Saturn since January of this year already, we can see that we are being invited to reinvent ourselves on a physical level (our bodies, our planet, etc.)
Since Uranus is feeling the stress of Saturn and Mars, we may experience limitations around our physical freedoms and what we value, as well as frustrations with financial innovations, and challenging situations within our networks or communities.
Ask yourself: What am I ready to innovate or change about my body, my values, my self-value? What if patience and spaciousness were the key components that are missing? Where do I need to follow my own individualistic values?
What if I was able to find creative solutions to my current frustrations? What if these solutions already existed and I simply needed to wait for the perfect moment to be able to access them? In what ways am I currently growing? Maturing? Achieving Self-mastery?
The solution with all T-squares is to focus on the empty leg — in this case Scorpio — here we are invited to bring our innovative spirit to our intimate relationships and financial partnerships.
Ask yourself: Could I use my divine spark, my unique talents, to create financially beneficial partnerships? Who might be interested in investing in a brand-new approach to accessing the planet’s resources?
What stirs me to innovate? How could I connect to people who appreciate my individualistic approach? What would it take to have spaciousness within my emotionally authentic and trusted connections to others? What might be possible if I embraced all of me — my light and my darkness? What role does freedom play in my intimate relationships?
Accepting each other’s differences is important right now, as we all have different values — and those values create our preferences and determine our comfort zone. Ask yourself: How could I take those differences less personally? Is it at least possible that I could honor my own differences without making others’ wrong? Could I hold the space for other people’s fears and comfort levels?
The Grand Fire Trine in this Full Moon chart involves Chiron in Aries, Mars in Leo, and the South Node in Sagittarius (creating a kite configuration with the North Node in Gemini).
“Healthy Fire” is fed by joy, authenticity, and self-determination. The Grand Trine brings optimism, enthusiasm, and expansion to our healing journey, creative projects, and explorations beyond our current thinking. Our positive attitude helps us take risks that get us unstuck — and we have the vigor to blast through challenges.
Ask yourself: What could I tackle right now that seemed impossible in the past? What am I passionate about? What lights my fire?
The Kite configuration points to the North Node in Gemini, inviting us to communicate, rather than making the assumption that others already know (or “should” know) what’s required or needed of them. Ask yourself: What needs to be said? Even if it seems obvious to me….
Mars in Leo is part of both the Grand Trine/Kite and the T-Square mentioned above; Mars therefore becomes an important component in the Full Moon chart, inviting us to take risks and pursue actions that bring us joy. Practicing active gratitude is beneficial to us at this time. As best as you can, be aware when taking a prideful stand, or taking something too personally.
Ask yourself: Would I rather be happy or defend my pride? How could I take things 5% less personally when dealing with others? What if I were 5% less attached to having things “go my way”?
How might my focusing on what I am grateful for create more ease and joy? What might keep a smile on my face, no matter what?
As mentioned earlier, this Full Moon chart has three stationing planets; two of those have already changed direction by the time the Full Moon becomes exact, but are still exalted (moving slowly).
The first one is Jupiter in Pisces, which starts its 4-month Retrograde phase on June 20th, and which will be exalted until June 27th. This brings our awareness to our heart-centeredness and invites us to take a look at our beliefs around separation and oneness.
Ask yourself: How separate from others do I feel? How connected? What might be possible if I allowed myself to keep an open heart and mind when it comes to the energetic world? What about other realms beyond the physical world?
Jupiter in Pisces also sextiles the Moon and trines the Sun, giving us an opportunity to deal with the Capricorn/Cancer polarity by expanding our perspective beyond the material world and our past understanding of things. We are invited to bring a more intuitive approach to our long-term goals, and allow for compassionate connections with our loved ones and family relations.
Ask yourself: What are some perspectives or attitudes that I can now release, so I can experience a closer connection to loved ones and a more trusting approach to my accomplishments in the world? How might expanding my perspective beyond the material world and my past understanding of things help me grow?
The second planet that is exalted at this time is Mercury in Gemini. Mercury ends its 3-week Retrograde phase only two days before the Full Moon becomes exact (on June 22nd). It will be exalted until June 28th. This brings our awareness to our mental exchanges with others and we are invited to remain curious and open-minded.
Ask yourself: How might a dash of curiosity support my interactions with other people? What about when it comes to processing information that I read or hear about? What might an open mind do for me then?
Since Mercury enters it’s Post-Shadow phaseon June 22nd (until July 7th), we could use this as an opportunity to go over anything that came up during the Retrograde phase (May 29th – June 22nd).
Ask yourself: What is ready to move forward? Where can I now make a decision that feels aligned with my inner thoughts? Where (or with whom) am I ready to talk something over that was initiated during the Retrograde dates?
Lastly, Neptune in Piscesismovingslower as well, as it prepares to come to halt and start its 5-months Retrograde phase on June 25th (only one day after the Full Moon becomes exact!) Its preparation for the Retrograde phase amplifies the call to release whatever is no longer in the best interest of all concerned so we can move into a heart-based experience with ourselves and all that surrounds us.
Neptune’s energy is strong, with both its higher and lower vibrations becoming clearer, helping us connect more fully to those energies as they exist within us, and showing us where we need to either embrace them more fully, or connect to them in a healthy way — ways that don’t involve getting lost in the murky lower vibrations of their expression (things like escapism, addiction, denial, illusions, victim-behavior, etc.).
Ask yourself: What is my relationship to my own imagination? How do I use it? Do I tend to imagine “worse case scenarios” or visualize what I wish to create? What role does naiveté play when it comes to my imagination?
What’s my relationship to my intuition? If I get quiet enough, can I catch its subtle voice? When I hear it, can I take that moment to really catch what it says… and then trust it? Who has the last word — my mind, or my heart?
As best as you can, simply observe — this is not about doing the right or wrong thing, but about becoming more aware of how we are connected to this energy. During Neptune’s Retrograde, we’ll get a chance to connect to it from within, such that we’ll feel its vibration inside of us.
For a more detailed description of the Jupiter and Neptune Station phase, please read my Weekly Forecast-entry for June 12th.
We will also cover Neptune’s and Chiron’s Station & Retrograde phases in more detail — in connection with our own birth charts — in my next Forecasting Forum, live on June 25th, at 2pm EDT/7pm London-time. Early Bird Special available until June 22nd at midnight EDT!!!
Reminder:Star Members are automatically registered for my Forums each month.
Neptune in Pisces also trines Venus in Cancer and sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, giving us an opportunity to deal with the Capricorn/Cancer polarity on a whole other level.
We tend to “feel” each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is therefore recommended — we are tapping into the collective experience, so it might also be wise to remember that everyone else is also working with the current energies as best as they can.
Just like ourselves, they may get overwhelmed or confronted by the Capricorn/Cancer-energies out there (perhaps by facing some harsh realities and inner limitations, or family/home issues). We all deserve some compassion, understanding, and forgiveness.
This shows us our ability to allow for feelings to move through, supports us further in bringing love and acceptance to our feeling body, and helps us release any unhealthy attachments to the past. This makes it easier to trust and thus allow ourselves to stretch outside of our comfort zone and invite in “the new”.
Given this, ask yourself: How can I empower myself and others through the gift of trusting my own heart? What if kindness towards the world would bring peace into my life and my heart? What if simply being present in the here moment, could make me feel more empowered?
What if there was a way to eliminate fear from my system? What if I experimented with spending time aligning with what is, energetically speaking, and allowing the transformational process to unfold?
We also might be able to receive new support from others; so ask yourself: What if I let myself receive 5% more kindness from others? And how about from myself?
To sum it all up for this Full Moon: Cancer and Capricorn are both receptive “yin” energies, so are Pisces and Taurus. As we have 7 planets in Yin-signs in this Full Moon chart, we are clearly asked to go within first, before making a move forward externally.
Cancer is inviting us to develop healthy emotional roots, Capricorn to reach self-mastery and share the fruits of its labor; the more we disregard our own feelings and needs, the greater the likelihood of violating the rights and concerns of others.
When we are able to experience a balance between inner and outer, come to feel safe and a valuable part of society, we can be both responsible and kind — integrating oppositions brings limitless benefits — so as best you can, focus on what feels in alignment with yourself, what inspires and nourishes you, so you can step out into the world as an empowered and self-sufficient adult.
Ask yourself: What shifts are needed at home? At work? Where do I need to set clear boundaries? How could I experience more nourishment and support? How might I be of support to myself? What might processing my emotions do for me in the long run?
We are in the process of shifting from one age to the next. Keep choosing Love, and remember: “…our greatest threat is fear, the fear that turns us away from each other or against each other.When we stand together and help each other, we break the contagion of fear and strengthen the spirit of community that can unite and preserve us all.” — another quote from David Spangler, from Lorian.org

On Jan. 12/13th at 12am EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 23 degrees of Capricorn, launching a new Moon cycle.
This is a good time to go within, to plant a seed for anything we would like to accomplish over the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig into this in more detail — you may also want to watch my New Moon video 🙂
This is the first New Moon in Capricorn since Jan. 5th, 2019, that is NOT also a Solar Eclipse. So, what have we learned about taking responsibility over the past two years? What have we come to understand about setting healthy boundaries? What have we realized about our own limitations? Other people’s limitations? How have our priorities shifted? Our goals? What have we learned about integrity? How much is there still to learn?
It is also the first New Moon of the year, and since Capricorn represents the quest for self-mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include:
What is my relationship to self-mastery now, versus in 2018? Am I going about things in a realistic way? Do I respect the laws of matter? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? How committed am I to that?
The highest vibration of Capricorn is self-mastery: the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work some more on these areas.
As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments, and recognize responsibilities — in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time — this is not about immediate results, it’s about the quality of the foundation you are building.
Capricorn also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Ask yourself: Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where am I not? What might I be afraid of when I don’t?
Capricorn relates directly to the level of our maturity. Ask yourself: What would taking 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved?
Let’s talk about some of the aspects connected to this particular New Moon chart:
This New Moon aligns with Pluto in Capricorn: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality — time and space — and about our relationship to power or to feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? 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?
Pluto’s involvement could foster an all-or nothing attitude over the next 28 days towards our long-term goals, or our standing in society — in fact, we might become obsessed over those things — and/or it might bring up a fear of “losing control”. It’s important to stay heart-centered and grounded — engage tools or people where possible, to help you let go of your fears and surrender to the Soul power that resides within you.
If you get obsessed about your accomplishments out there in the world, as best as you can, remind yourself to slow down and take breaks. Ask yourself: Am I driven by fear or love/passion? If fear, worry, concerns, etc. are present, could I simply acknowledge that experience?
Close your eyes, and ask yourself: Is what I am afraid of real right now, or is it a projection into the future? If so, could I let go of “wanting” (aka “expecting”) to create this future for myself? Could I choose more powerfully? Could I choose a future that allows me to feel empowered, no matter what the circumstances?
As mentioned previously I also have a webinar about the Great Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius, that started a new 20-year social-economic cycle, and a 200-year elemental cycle in late Dec. 2020. Again, feel free to go to my webinar page, if you would like to take a look at that!
Saturn conjuncts Jupiter and Mercury in Aquarius. Aquarius focuses our attention on the collective, on respecting the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. This particular combo reminds us…

Saturn conjuncts Jupiter and Mercury in Aquarius. Aquarius focuses our attention on the collective, on respecting the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. This particular combo reminds us of the importance of where we focus our mind — that our thoughts and words create our future — they matter! It’s time to visualize a future that is inclusive and works for everyone.
As best as you can, observe your mind: What future am I focused on? What thoughts and words could inspire a better future? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog and the energy those thoughts disperse? How might “holding space” for myself and others contribute to a better future?
The Saturn/Jupiter/Mercury alignment in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries. This combo presents an opportunity to connect with others, and engage in a healing process that can bring progress in our various communities, maybe even world-wide. We are more powerful than we realize, especially when we come together.
If you can, journal on these questions, and share your answers with those like-minded people in your various communities:
Ask yourself: What role that I identify with needs my love and understanding? What if my personal limitations were my main drivers for taking creative or unusual approaches? Could I allow myself and others to be human? What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? What has been my experience with all of this so far and where could I gain through learning more?
Uranus is extremely exalted at the time of the New Moon because it is ending its 5-month Retrograde phase (on Jan. 14th) only 27.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, innovation, reform, and (most of all) progress — and as Uranus starts to go direct, we can sense this major breakthrough-energy. We could potentially drop centuries of old programming, especially since its direct motion also involves an alignment with Mars, and a Square to Jupiter and Saturn.
Let’s take a look at those aspects:
The Mars-Uranus alignment in Taurus brings a lot of nervous energy with it — we will most likely feel sudden spurts of energy moving through our bodies — do your best to channel the extra energy in a productive way.
Ask yourself: Might a deep breath into my belly calm my nervous system? What might it look like to consciously break away from situations that have limited me when it came to honoring myself and my talents? Where could I channel my courage? Where do I need to “think different”? Act differently?
Our willingness to innovate is strong with this alignment: new ways of seeing, using, and approaching our personal possessions, valuables, money, and talents are in focus.
It takes courage to try something new and different. Ask yourself: What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who honors and loves themselves, and is not afraid to have different values from others?
This alignment between Uranus and Mars asks us to break away from anything keeping us from honoring our uniqueness and quirks — whatever keeps us in a rut, collectively and individually.
The Saturn/Jupiter/Mercury alignment in Aquarius squares the Mars/Uranus alignment in Taurus: all of this extends another invitation to step up in the world and become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality — in other words, making a difference one by one, even when it seems as though we are too small to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something…
Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities.
Ask yourself: What if — in small or large ways — I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one that is based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?
I also cover the Saturn-Uranus Squares in Aquarius/Taurus as part of my upcoming webinar “A Look Ahead for 2021″, that will go live on Jan. 8th — you can register for the live event up until 1pm EST on Jan. 8th, and if you would prefer to watch it at a later date & time, the recording will be available for purchase starting Jan. 9th, on my webinar-page. !!Star Members check your email for the link to the webinar!!
The Mars/Uranus alignment in Taurus also trines Venus in Capricorn. With this combo, we have the ability to comfortably accomplish things that align with our values, coupled with a nice feeling of ease — rushing is not required or expected of us right now. We are feeling quite grounded in our connections with others, yet we also have an off-beat or innovative attitude, and can be quite “real” with others without causing offense.
Ask yourself: How could I implement revolutionary business or social practices that support my current values and make life tangibly more enjoyable for everyone who interacts with me socially or does business with me? How might an environment of diversity contribute to my long-term goals or business relationships? How might an innovative approach to my goals create a fresh start?
Last but not least, there is one final aspect we need to mention in this New Moon chart:
Venus in Capricorn squares Chiron in Aries. This aspect could cause us to feel impatient and/or triggered — so definitely bring as much compassion and kindness to yourself and others as you can muster. This is an opportunity to embrace our own humanity — keeping in mind that, as humans, we may experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance.
Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just “be with” my insecurities and past wounding, without trying to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them were the very thing keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?
Where besides career and other long-term goals could I channel my impatient, “masculine” energies into something that satisfies me on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level?
To sum all of this up: We are invited to direct our attention to what needs to change — individually and collectively. Change is not always easy — and certainly not always pleasant — but it is necessary if we are to move towards a world that we want to live in and share with one another.
You could ask yourself here: What matters most to me? What are my priorities? What kind of future do I envision for myself and for all beings on this planet? What realistic steps can I take to move towards this future? Where is it best to be flexible? And on the other hand, where must I remain focused and stay aligned with my visions or preferences?
As best as you can, keep breathing, keep feeling, keep witnessing, and remember that we are all participating in an unprecedented evolutionary shift. We are divine beings living in a dense physical reality attempting to remember who we really are and what we came here to do.
Choose wisely for 2021 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power — the power of your heart and your humanity!
[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 21-25 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle — and the very best time to do this is after the New Moon becomes exact (and definitely not during a Moon void of course).
So this month the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be any time between 12am and 2:22am on Jan. 13th, or between Jan. 13th at 11:44am and Jan. 14th at 4:28am (EST/New York-time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting time zones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page and/or following me on Twitter, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions 😉

On Dec. 29th, at 10:28pm EST,the Moon opposes the Sun (in almost 9 degrees of Cancer). Relationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships. If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Members Full Moon video.
This Full Moon shows us how far we have come since the last Solar Eclipse in Cancer (which was exact on June 21st, 2020) when it comes to self-care and any issues connected to family or home — and also how far we have come since November 2018, when the North Node moved into Cancer, and we started our journey towards greater emotional responsibility and self-alignment.
Ask yourself: What have I learned about self-care and where I feel most “at home” over the past two years? What have I learned about my emotional needs? How has an emotional connection to myself and loved ones been of benefit to me? How has it shifted my priorities?
Lots of planets are involved in this Full Moon chart — Mercury, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Neptune — and all play an important role, so buckle up! More about the specifics in regards to all of these planets in a moment…
But first, let’s take a look at the polarities involved with this Full Moon: The Moon in protective, feeling-oriented Cancer opposes the Sun in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn.
We have a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our feelings and emotional needs (symbolized by Cancer), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn).
It’s important to realize that we all have limitations and challenges in life — and when we approach those in a nurturing way, taking care of our feeling body and inner baby, and allowing ourselves to receive support from family or “familiar” connections”, we are more likely to overcome those challenges and be realistic about limitations — our own, and other people’s.
Ask yourself: How am I…

Ask yourself: How am I balancing the demands of my outer and inner life? Home life vs. career? Where am I able to be mature and self-reliant — and also contribute? Where am I giving too much? Not enough?
Cancer and Capricorn are both receptive “yin” energies, so clearly we are asked to go within before doing anything. Cancer says we must recognize our own needs in order to feel internally stable — if we don’t manage this, we’ll give our power away to others, becoming victims, sacrificing ourselves for our family, job, etc.
Capricorn seeks to develop an internalized sense of authority and responsibility. This Full Moon is thus asking us to look closely at how we balance taking care of ourselves (Cancer), against how we want to contribute to the world at large (Capricorn) — in other words, where we have reached our limit, and where we need to set some priorities.
Capricorn teaches us to honor all aspects of the physical world; it also urges us to create and build something of long-term use to everyone — Cancer, on the other hand, represents the formation of the emotional body; this helps us navigate life by building an awareness of what is healthy or harmful to us.
Cancer also highlights the importance of a healthy relationship to the “mother” archetype. Being a healthy “mother” to ourselves is just as important as nurturing someone else. The healthy mother archetype represents a caring engagement with our feeling body, and a constant attempt to meet our needs, to the extent possible.
Our feeling body tells us whether our needs are being met. So check in with yourself: right now, in this moment, do you feel happy? Peaceful? Open? Stressed? Depressed? Frustrated?
If your answer was a lower-vibrational feeling, ask yourself: Are my needs being met? What do I need, to feel open and peaceful? Where could I take one small but practical baby-step to bring me one step closer to feeling happy? Or peaceful? How about open?
Sometimes it’s as simple as slowing down, or taking a break, perhaps allowing ourselves to enjoy a hot bath or cuddling up with a loved one, a pet, or a pillow 😉
In order to emerge as healthy beings, we need to be able to nurture ourselves and others, in part by taking care of our feelings and our “inner baby” (Cancer), while also evolving into responsible adults, able to provide for ourselves and others (Capricorn).
Any Full Moon also has us look more closely at the denser vibrations or shadow components of the energies involved. With Cancer, this is our ability to receive and feel safe from within, but what protected us in the past may no longer work — our needs may have changed over time.
Ask yourself: Where do I have the tendency to hold on to the past? Where am I holding on simply because it is familiar? Where am I resisting change? What happens when I don’t allow myself to feel my feelings? Where do I react instead of respond?
The last question is so important, that I created a webinar around it: “React vs. Respond — Where in the chart can we learn about our emotional maturity?“. If you haven’t seen it yet, click here for more info! — currently on sale until Jan. 31st, 2021
With Capricorn, we need to take a look at those parts of ourselves that are domineering, rigid, unforgiving, self-servingly ambitious, status-seeking, and hierarchical.
As best as you can, be really honest with yourself, and ask: How important is status to me? What is my relationship to “control”? Where do I try to control life? Other people?
Where do I control myself by suppressing my needs or feelings? Is it at least possible that a slower step-by-step approach might help me get present to what’s needed in the moment?
In order to develop a healthy inner Capricorn, we must learn to listen to our feelings and honor our needs, rather than disregarding them — only then can we build something of value and move towards mastery.
Ask yourself these questions (and as best as you can, be really honest with yourself): Where might I be taking too little responsibility? Where might I be taking too much? When do I blame? When do I shame myself (or others)? When do I feel guilty? Where do I tend to get defensive? If I had better boundaries, where would I have established them?
Where and when do I tend to look for permission outside of myself? Where have I abdicated my authority — or projected it onto others?
Again, finding a balance between the Capricorn-Cancer polarity is essential in order to truly fulfill our Capricorn goals.
Let’s take a look at some other aspects of this Full Moon chart, starting with the most exact ones: The Moon is the ruler of Cancer, and is currently in its own sign, opposing not only the Sun in Capricorn, but also Mercury.
Since Mercury is the “depositor” of the currently transiting North Node in Gemini, its placement is particularly important for our evolution at this time: We are invited to focus single-mindedly on whatever will be most practical and sustainable in the long-term.
Th Moon’s opposition to the Sun/Mercury alignment in Capricorn urges us to pay equal attention to our inner world, as well as our responsibilities in the outer. Ask yourself: What are my physical- and my feeling-body telling me? What is “Life” trying to tell me?
What do I need to change to be better aligned with my needs? Do I need to move? Pursue another vocation? Heal something from the past? Where do I need to take a leap of faith and work towards something that serves me long-term, something sustainable? What needs to be communicated? What if I needed to think my way through this step-by-step?
This opposition also asks us to balance a loving, caring connection with ourselves and others, against our desire to achieve our long-term goals out there in the world.
As best as you can, steer by your own inner compass and bring your authentic self to the world in a spirit of integrity and responsibility — and keep in mind that as we heal our personal history, we become a source of light and support for others.
Ask yourself: What would self-responsible self-care look like? How does my inner life inform my outer? How might nurturing myself support true self-acceptance and self-kindness? Might it also help grant acceptance and kindness toward others? And even the world at large?
When we understand the Cancer energy fully, we have learned about self-care and receiving — not just giving, or helping others — while with Capricorn, we eventually learn about giving back, not just accomplishing for personal gain or reaching a higher status.
Ask yourself: Where might the balance lie between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving my goals? Are those things really in conflict? Am I doing what I want to do, or what I think I “should” do?
Am I more connected to what nurtures me — or to my “shoulds”? Does my current environment/home support my inner & outer growth? Does it provide nourishing bonds with others? How does all this affect my contribution to the world? My standing in society?
And of course, as always when Cancer and Capricorn are involved: take baby-steps (or if you prefer, “take it one day at a time” 😉 Ask yourself: Why would I sprint if walking got me there at the perfect time?
Check to see where any urge toward rushing or “getting there” comes from — is that coming from a place of fear or love?
Another important aspect worth mentioning is a T-Square involving Chiron and the Full Moon. Chiron in Aries as the Focus point of this T-square experiences a tremendous amount of stress, especially around anything connected to our insecurities concerning the masculine energies or our passions, so ask yourself:
What if I simply accepted the validity of my own desires? Of any feelings of anger? Might this acceptance support a more natural expression of those desires and feelings?
What if I became 5% more conscious of anything connected to a childhood wound that feels triggering to me? What might be possible if I practiced being kind with myself around those triggers? What role does my thinking play in all of this?
The Solution with all T-squares is to focus on the empty leg; in this case the empty leg lands in Libra; we are thus invited to focus our energies on collaborations and win-wins, and on achieving a healthy balance with ourselves and our environment.
Ask yourself: Where is the balancing point? What if I channeled my energies into projects that benefit me and others? How might others contribute to my healing process around the “masculine” energies? What if I didn’t have to do it all by myself?
We also have some more harmonious connections to the Full Moon:
Uranus in Taurus sextiles the Moon in Cancer and trines the Sun in Capricorn. With this combo, originality and innovation come easy to us, as does connection to like-minded people.
Ask yourself: Am I connecting to a larger vision for my future? How do my individual passions and goals connect to a larger contribution for society? What might be possible with a bigger network of like-minded people?
This is also a great time to work with your own astrological chart, or seek other ways to elevate your consciousness, create your own reality, and experience freedom from within.
Ask yourself: What does “my unique value” mean to me? Where might I locate this energy within me? If I found it, what might I do with it? What small (or large) steps could I take to bring my unique vision or preferences to the world?
Remember: what you do for you, you do for everyone… and what you do for everyone, you do for you!
Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, has been in Aquarius since Dec. 17th, where it aligns with Jupiter (also in Aquarius). Both of these giants will stay within 5 degrees of each other until the end of January.The Great Conjunction was exact on Dec. 21st, and is a collective new beginning towards building long-term structures and foundations that will ultimately bring about an expansion for all of humanity.
We are slowly learning to choose from love rather than fear. And we are more powerful than we realize, especially when we come together. Since this is the beginning of a 20-year social-economic cycle, we need to plan for the collective long game.
Evolution happens when we each bring our individual, best Selves to a collective effort; an open heart and mind make this process not only more pleasant, but also faster.
Our inventions and unusual approaches need to focus on long-term sustainability and group consciousness — this is how we will grow and expand as people over the next 20 years.
Ask yourself: What will be my contribution to this 20-year cycle? How can I make a difference in my own communities? How could I get involved and be a part of this new future? What will it take to keep my heart and mind wide open? How can I bring my unique Self to the table?
Feel free to also watch my webinar on the subject: “The Great Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius“ Click here for more info!
Now, there is one little obstacle that will become more and more apparent over the next year: Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, is currently in Taurus, and squares both of those Giants in Aquarius. A Square invites us to find creative solutions and to stretch ourselves and grow beyond our past capabilities.
It always relates back to the conjunctions between two planets — and in this case we need to look back to when Jupiter aligned with Uranus on June 8th, 2010, at 0º of Aries, and at when Saturn aligned with Uranus on Oct. 18th, 1988, at almost 28º of Sagittarius.
Think back to those times, and ask yourself: What was beginning in my life? What did I intend for humanity? How did I want to make a difference? What was my role? And what needs to change if I am to complete that journey?
Since these are Closing Squares, we are looking for practical solutions; change needs to proceed from a level of maturity that is informed by our experience of what didn’t work before.
It becomes very clear with this combo that humanity’s evolution and survival lies in equality, collaboration, and respect for the Earth and all its inhabitants. How quickly this shift happens depends on the choices each one of us makes. It is helpful to remember that as the “old” falls away, progress is taking place, always — even if not visible to the naked eye.
Ask yourself: If I wanted to put a solid foundation under my effort to inspire collaboration in my various communities, where would I lay that first cornerstone? What might a co-creative process with our planet look like? How can I honor its resources and ability to support each one of us equally? What is my unique value in all of this?
As the Jupiter/Saturn alignment in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus at the time of this Full Moon, we may become quite eager over the next two weeks to make some essential changes in our lives, both collectively and individually speaking.
We are invited to stay detached in our social dealings with others and honor our own individuality without making anyone else wrong for being different.
Ask yourself: How could I honor my own values and allow others to honor theirs? Are other people’s choices really about me? Could I give their “choosing” the space that it needs, so I can honor what’s important to me, without taking things personally?
Uranus also starts to station and become “louder” the day after the Full Moon becomes exact. It will be exalted until Jan. 27th,emphasizing the Square that will be exact on the 17th of both January and February (not to mention that Saturn will square Uranus for most of 2021).
In our next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Jan. 8th, we’ll be taking a look ahead at the whole year to gain some perspective and get an overview of what’s to come: What can we expect in 2021? What are the energies to watch out for, and which are the ones to get excited about?
For example, what can we expect with a potent Saturn/Uranus Square in Aquarius/Taurus for most of 2021? What happens when Mars joins in, while transiting through Taurus, Leo and Scorpio in January, July, and November?
If you want to get ready for 2021, join us live, or get the mp4-video presentation of the live event. Either way, if you are not yet a Star Member, register now! Early Bird Special is still available until Jan. 5th at midnight!
All my Star Members are automatically registered and will receive an invite to join us a day prior and the day of the webinar 😉
Lastly I want to mention Venus, which aligns with the South Node in Sagittarius, and Squares Neptune in Pisces.
When a planet aligns with the South Node, we are invited to release or redefine something that has been running on auto-pilot and draining our life force; in this case, it’s related to any belief systems or perspectives about our relationship to ourselves, others, or to this planet that is no longer serving us.
Ask yourself: What is really true when it comes to relationships (the one with myself included)? What is it that never changes, no matter what cultural filters I look at it through, no matter what angle I take? What is the one thing that connects us all and brings greater joy to my relations with “others”?
Venus’s Square to Neptune in Pisces invites us to have faith, go with the flow, and let our intuition guide us in money and love — and if we are able to do so, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others — and watch out for any tendency to make hasty decisions or to sacrifice yourself for others!
Ask yourself: Before moving forward with a relationship or making assumptions about someone else, could I tune in and get really clear about my energy body, and what is needed in this current moment? What if I granted 5% more trust to my inner guidance? What might I hear if I listened 5% more closely to the subtle messages of my divine nature?
To sum it all up: Honor your feelings and needs, so you can build something of value, and share the fruits of your labor with the world. As best as you can, be kind, gentle, compassionate, and accepting of yourself — this will help balance the Cancer/Capricorn polarity.
Ask yourself: What if I trusted the timing of things just 5% more? What if I brought 5% more compassion and love to every moment while working towards my achievement? Could I do that just by checking in with my physical and emotional needs from time to time?
What might result from closing my eyes for a minute or two, now and then, to take a moment with myself, to tune in and center myself?
These are challenging times on planet Earth. As best as you can, be extra kind to yourself and others; be proactive rather than reactive. Envision the world in which you wish to live in and move steadily towards that. One step at a time!
During these next 2 weeks, self-care definitely deserves our attention… Make sure you get plenty of rest, affection, water, and healthy nutritious foods 😉
As a reminder, feel free to also watch my Full Moon video.

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).

"Thank you for the awesome webinar, Sonja. I really enjoyed the full interactive experience. Having this real time exchange makes a huge difference to the learning and understanding of all these patterns and energies. I love the question and answer section, especially since we get some advance indication of what the topics will be. I have been an amateur astrologer for many years but I learned an awful lot very quickly in this setting. So much fun. See you next time!"
