Because New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle, they are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces — a line up (aka Stellium) that includes the Sun, the Moon, Jupiter and Neptune; the New Moon and Jupiter also sextile Uranus in Taurus. The Sun squares December’s Solar Eclipse degree several hours after the New Moon becomes exact, which signifies a turning point.
There is also a second line up in this New Moon chart that takes place in Capricorn, and includes Venus, Mars, and Pluto. And since those three planets answer to Saturn right now (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn), we must also mention the current Saturn-Mercury conjunction in Aquarius.
All of this will bring some forward movement.The next four weeks are thus essential in our lives on both the personal and collective levels. In fact, new beginnings are possible on multiple levels, as long as we get enough rest and make time for tuning in. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first let’s start with the Stellium in Pisces:
Pisces invites us to connect with our inner divinity, and with our ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and that we can tap into it.
To move into a higher, lighter Pisces vibration, ask yourself the following questions:…

Ask yourself: Am I? In other words, do I exist? Could I let that be enough, just for right now? Keep repeating these questions until you feel completely relaxed and at peace.
Pisces is accepting and aware of both its temporal and its eternal nature; it understands that we are both singular in nature and also an inseparable part of the universe. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that separation is an illusion (or a conditioning at best) — that separation only exists in the mind.
Now, close your eyes, and ask yourself: Am I my body or am I more than that? Am I the sounds that I can hear inside and outside my head, or am I more than that? Am I the sensations that I feel and receive, or am I more than that? And, if I am more than those things, where do I begin? Where do I end?
At its densest expression however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we don’t go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we don’t rest enough, when we can’t trust ourselves — our inner processes and intuitive Selves.
Ask yourself: What is in the way of a connection to my inner divinity? What prevents me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance?
What if I opened just 5% more to the perfection of life? What if I trusted 5% more to universal timing? To the inner and outer processes now underway for me personally and on a collective level?
Might plenty of downtime and rest actually support my reconnection to Source-energy? How about a connection to my intuitive Self? Might rest support my health on all levels?
Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces, Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces, and both are part of the “line up” in Pisces with the New Moon. This “line up”gives us the opportunity to open the doors of perception a little wider to the universal and energetic processes. Those processes are inviting us to expand our understanding around a sense of oneness and interconnectedness with all of life.
Neptune and Jupiter will make an exact conjunctionon April 12th, which will start a new spiritual growth cycle for all of us, collectively and individually speaking. We will address all of this in more detail in relationship to our birth charts in our next Forecasting Forum.
Ask yourself: What does spiritual growth signify for me? Where am I looking to grow spiritually?

Jupiter in Pisces gives us a chance to release “old” belief systems or any conditioned thought patterns (socially conditioned or from our upbringing) to do with our connection to the divine and intuitive. Ask yourself: What was the collective narrative growing up when it comes to resting? To being still? Tuning in? Intuition? Inner guidance?
Could I allow myself to release some of those “old” conditioned beliefs and step into a more conscious relationship with the divine? With Intuition? Trusting my inner knowing? Allowing myself to see the perfection of all of life? The unfolding?
Could I allow myself to slow down now and then, without distractions, so I can tune in and listen to the subtle messages of my higher Self? And maybe receive more of the guidance that is always available to me?
If we don’t channel this energy into something that elevates our spirit and soul we may become restless or anxious.
The New Moon-Jupiter-Neptune alignmentis also a call to extend compassion, acceptance, or forgiveness to ourselves and others. Unconditional love for our feeling-body and our responses towards the world is also very helpful right now.
We may feel more sensitive — more tuned-in to other people’s feelings or suffering — and this gives us the opportunity to experience the full range of all feelings as they arise, and to sense our interconnectedness with everything around us.
As best as you can, allow for the flow of all feelings, allow your heart to soften — open to the beauty in that connectedness to “all there is” — Jupiter gives us the courage and optimism we need to do just that.
Ask yourself: If I were to be totally honest with myself, what would I notice is draining, rather than inspiring me? Where do I seem to have a hard time discerning fact from fiction? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self?
If my feelings had a voice of their own, and could speak, what would they say? What might my dreams say to me? What message might my intuition have for me?
The Sun in Pisces squares the degree of December 4th’s Solar Eclipse, 6.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact, signaling a potential turning point in our collective perceptions, expectations, and assumptions.
Ask yourself: What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”? What (or who) might bring about this shift? What might I see if I were looking at the bigger picture? What do I sense when I take a moment to tune into my heart?
Recently, I have been mentioningthe Squares to the Eclipse points in my Weekly Forecasts, and I go into this subject even more deeply in my latest webinar: “Turning Points – Squares to the Eclipses”. Click here to purchase this webinar, if you haven’t seen it yet.
The New Moon and Jupiter also make a sextile to Uranus in Taurus. We get an opportunity to be extra-present — and also to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with our physical world and “the good things in life”.
As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to “who you are being” and what’s important to you; allow yourself to intuitively share some progress-oriented or novel ideas around what you value, and about things that could ease the lives for yourself and others in very practical ways.
Ask yourself: What if the whole Universe was intelligent? What if that included every cell in my body? What knowledge would my body want to share with me?
We also have a unique opportunity right now to more courageously trust our inner processes, while also allowing the Universe/Source/our Higher Selves to step in and guide us towards a more unique relationship with the Earth, with our bodies, and with our sense of self-worth.
Ask yourself: If everything is energy, and everything is always in perfect alignment on an energetic level, how could I get more in tune with my own energy-body? If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could then be in more perfect alignment with my values? My sense of worth? What would trusting the unfolding of a unique relationship to my body and the Earth look like to me?
Allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature, your body, and your breath. Let yourself be guided by inspiration, whether your own, other people’s, nature’s, your pet’s, etc.
Ask yourself: What would it look like if I allowed myself to get and stay in tune with the creative process that is unfolding in every moment of now?
If nothing else, do your best to take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can. Use them to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self).
Ask yourself: What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I became just 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what “is” to “just be”, just for this very moment?
Now, let’s talk about the second Line-up in this New Moon chart, between Venus, Mars, and Pluto. Given that this combo is taking place in Capricorn, we prefer to take a realistic approach, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence and a place in society that reflects our efforts — we definitely also have a desire to “make it”, sometimes to the point of obsession.
There are some things to watch out for too: being too hard on ourselves or others, creating pressure, feeling anxious about achieving our goals, and being inflexibly rule-bound.
Ask yourself: Could I take the pressure off just a tiny bit every day? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? Does that include how I treat myself? Could I allow myself to receive 5% more love and support from trusted sources?
Since all three of these planets are the rulers of the transiting Moon Nodes (Venus rules Taurus, Pluto & Mars rule Scorpio), this line-up has a very special meaning in connection to our current individual and collective Soul’s Journey.
We are invited to trust a much deeper, more powerful process that is at play at this time; the dismantling of “old” social structure that no longer serve us is unfolding, and the less we resist this process and simply surrender to it, the sooner we can feel empowered and create a society that can thrive.
Ask yourself: Could I give myself permission to surrender my fears, and focus on what I actually have control over? What do I actually have control over? And if I am really honest with myself, what is my “circle of influence”?
How might a mature and slow-but-steady approach help me build new structures all around me that feel empowering? What am I ready to release or redefine when it comes to worldly success? Where am I ready to step more fully into an abundant place when it comes to my achievements?
On March 6th, only 3.5 days after the New Moon becomes exact, Venus & Mars will align for the second time within 18 days – and this time, it will be in in 0º of Aquarius — an exalted degree, and the same degree where we had the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction on December 21st, 2020! This is a big deal! A new beginning — a new era!
The Jupiter-Saturn alignment started a 20-year social-economic cycle, that now gets reemphasized on a more personal and individual level via the Venus-Mars alignment — asking us to collaborate with others and keep a vision or a dream for a better future alive in each of us.
Venus and Mars normally follow an approximately 2-year cycle, but due to Venus’s Retrograde phase in late 2021, the last Venus-Mars cycle has been a short one — only 6 months. However, the next Venus-Mars alignment will not be until 2024, and will also be in Aquarius – so the individual desire for a better, more collaborative, all-inclusive future will be felt for quite a while.
Ask yourself: How might I, as an individual, shape the future of the collective experience? What collaborations might help bring about a better future for all? What actions (large or small) could I take to fulfill on this vision of an all-inclusive experience for all beings? What roles do “tolerance” and “diversity” play in all of this?
Saturniscurrently inAquarius, and aligns with Mercury. Saturn’s alignment to Mercury in Aquariusshows us that we have the ability to focus more seriously on our long-term visions for humanity and ourselves. We feel sober sometimes maybe too sober, almost pessimistic — but feeling sober could help us think about our future in a more realistic and mature way.
As best as you can, choose your thoughts carefully — and with the awareness that whatever you are giving your focus to, at this time, will have strong manifesting capabilities directed at it
With this combo, we also prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us closer to a common goal, and are ready to make some long-term commitments, especially in connection with like-minded people or communities.
Ask yourself: Who comes to mind, when I think about long-term commitments with like-minded people? What conversations are waiting to be had?
Where do I want to focus my thoughts when it comes to a long-term vision for humanity? Where do I see myself within that vision?
Could I notice when my focus drifts toward thoughts that create separation or seclusion? Can I make a responsible effort to focus my thoughts on things that support community, collaboration, and diversity?
To sum it all up:The next 28 days arean opportunity to tap into our intuitive and imaginative abilities, then focus anew on what’s important for us — again, without rushing it.
Many of us are exhausted, as so much is shifting, collectively and individually. Inner work takes as much energy as physical work, sometimes more, so take extra care of your body.
Follow your inner guidance. Release, recharge, and remember that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience!
As best as you can, unplug, and listen deeply to your heart and soul; allow yourself to be with what is, without needing to change or fix anything. Then — and only then — take action!
Nature is a wonderful teacher for this — if you start to feel overwhelmed by what you are feeling or experiencing, connect with nature. In the silence, we feel the oneness with all there is, and the unconditional love the Universe provides.
Ask yourself: What might cause my heart to expand 5% more than usual? What is already in my current environment that opens my heart? What might change for me if I knew for certain that everything is proceeding according to plan? What might reconnect me to a spiritual trust?
Spiritual practice is also wonderful here, of course – meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness exercises, etc. – and the same is true of spiritual/energetic healing modalities. These can all help us tap into the higher vibrations of Pisces, as can the creative flow of dance, Qi Gong, singing, music, sound, dream work, creative writing, art, or simply being with our intuition — and of course, positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and compassion.
What else can help us experience our connection to “the all”? I invite you to share about a spiritual practice that works for you and that you love in the comments section…
Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject
[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 10-14 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 12:35pm on March 2nd and 4:45pm on March 3rd, and then again from 7:52pm on March 3rd until 12:35pm on March 4th (New York-time)
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter as I post reminders on March 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

On Monday Sept. 20th, at 7:55pm EDT,the Sun opposes the Moon in 28 degrees of Pisces. The Moon in creative, free-flowing Pisces makes an opposition to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical Virgo — the entrance of the Moon into Pisces on Sept. 18th starts the energetic build up towards this Full Moon — if you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject: click here.
On Sept. 20th, we can ask ourselves: How far have we come since the Sept. 6th New Moon? What can we see now that was not apparent then?
This Full Moon has six planets in Retrograde motion: Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This indicates a strong need for inner processing and aligning ourselves with those planetary energies from within. It’s a necessary phase of re-evaluation, restructuring, and letting go.
Things appear to slow down during a retrograde passage, as internal shifts must happen before we can progress; once a planet turns direct, we feel ready to move forward in that area of life.
Three of the six planets I mentioned above will start to go direct in October (Jupiter, Saturn & Pluto), and at that point, we will get the opportunity to bring all of our inner discoveries from the previous 4-5 months to the outside world.
For a more in-depth interpretation of your own chart, in connection with Saturn’s & Pluto’s Station Direct phases, join us live for the Forum on Sept. 17th, or get the mp4-video presentation of the live event. Either way, register here now (unless you are already a Star Member — in that case, you are automatically registered).
With this Full Moon, we are also dealing with two stationing planets — Mercury & Pluto — Mercury in Libra is preparing to start its 3-week Retrograde phase on Sept. 27th, and is therefore exalted at the time of the Full Moon; Pluto in Capricorn is preparing to end its 5-months Retrograde phaseon Oct. 6th,and will be exalted until Oct. 21st.
We are getting ready to retrace our steps (Mercury in Libra), and are seeking empowerment when it comes to our long-term goals or social structures (Pluto in Capricorn).
Now let’s first address this Full Moon’s polarities: The Virgo/Pisces polarity has to do with our ability to connect the head with the heart, logic with intuition, matter with spirit. So the question is: how do we integrate Pisces and Virgo?
This may seem a challenging question, given Virgo’s leaning toward…

This may seem a challenging question, given Virgo’s leaning toward detailed, analytical understanding, in contrast with Pisces‘ call to open our hearts and allow for all (including things that seem paradoxical to the mind). In fact, on an energetic level there is no separation, everything is interconnected — we need both left- and right-brain (the logical and the creative).
Ask yourself: What if nothing and no one were separate? Appearing to be different, yes, but not separate…
Virgo (which is connected to our mental processes) analyzes, whereas Pisces (which is connected to our intuitive processes) feels, senses.
Virgo seeks physical wholeness, while Pisces reminds us of a greater wholeness — a spiritual wholeness — our interconnectedness with all of life, the allowing of all the mysteries of life.
To be at its best, Virgo aims for practical applications and to be of service, while Pisces learns to listen to inner/intuitive guidance above all else, using its imagination to bring love and light into this world, to sprinkle mystery fairy dust, and to create Paradise on Earth.
When these two archetypes are balanced within, we discern without judgment, serve with an open heart, and improve our daily lives without getting hung up on timing or perfectionism, bringing love and compassion to all of life’s apparent curveballs.
That said, let’s also talk about the shadow side of those signs, as we do with all Full Moons:
Virgo’s shadow side is self-deprecation and judgment; the latter creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. Ask yourself: What if I did 5% less “perfection” and 5% more “process improvement”? What if it were ok to not know everything 100%? Could I be of service to others while also improving my own understanding of things?
How might “making mistakes” be beneficial to me? What if I celebrated “mistakes” as stepping stones to a better life?
Simply observe: Does my inner dialog observe and discern what is productive vs. what is unproductive (i.e. what works or what doesn’t)? Or do I label things as “good or bad”, “right or wrong”?
You could say that Pisces is an antidote to judgment: in its lightest expression, it understands that we are all souls in various states of development, with different paths in the world — we are all love at our core, and everything is ultimately an expression or variation of love.
The shadow side of Piscesis a lack of boundaries, getting lost in illusions, fantasies, and escapism of various sorts (this stems from being highly sensitive, feeling everything, and becoming overwhelmed).
As you may have guessed, the remedy for the Pisces shadow lies in the lighter vibrations of Virgo; these include the ability to focus on what works (versus what doesn’t), to make practical choices, and to make the best use of our daily engagements while taking care of our physical wellbeing.
When the Pisces– and Virgo-energies are integrated, we marry a clear, observant mind with a compassionate and loving heart — a mind in partnership with our intuitive sensing!
Ask yourself: What tools might shift my view of reality from either/or, to both/and? From the mind-activity of “wanting to understand” and “know” to the heart-activity of true understanding?
Let’s look at some of the aspects of this Full Moon:
The Moon in Pisces aligns with Neptune (which is the ruler of Pisces, and has been in its own sign since April 2011). This is a call to extend compassion, acceptance, or forgiveness to family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general (collectively and individually speaking). Unconditional love for our feeling-body and our responses towards the world is also very helpful right now.
We may feel more sensitive — more tuned-in to other people’s feelings or suffering — and this gives us the opportunity to experience the full range of all feelings as they arise, and to sense our interconnectedness with everything around us.
Ask yourself: What would it look like if I allowed the flow of all feelings? If I allowed my heart to soften? Could I be 5% more open to the beauty all around me? How might nature be my teacher in all of this?
If I start to feel overwhelmed by what I am feeling or experiencing, could I simply give myself 10 minutes to connect to nature in some way?
Spiritual practices are also wonderful here, of course (such as meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness exercises, etc.); the same is true of spiritual/energetic healing modalities like Reiki, “Access Consciousness Bars”, shiatsu, acupuncture, etc. These can all help us tap into the higher vibrations of Pisces (and the Neptune-energy as well).
What else can help us experience our connection to “the all”? The creative flow of dance, singing, music, sound, etc. — and of course, positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and compassion.
The Moon/Neptune alignment in Pisces also sextiles Pluto in Capricorn, and the Sun in Virgo makes a Trine to Pluto.
Let’s start with the Sextile to Pluto in Capricorn: Surrendering our fears about our position in the world and our achievements gets a little easier; we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and feel empowered about a project or task that might serve us long-term, or as a society.
Ask yourself: How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears in connection to past trauma or disempowerment? What has been in my face lately when it comes to such fears?
Remember Pluto is stationing at the time of the Full Moon. Again, we will investigate Pluto’s Station phase in more detail during our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Sept. 17th, feel free to join us for that deeper investigation into your own chart. And if you are reading this onorafter Sept. 17th, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation of this webinar here.
Is it at least possible that combining my imagination with trust in divine guidance would support me in effortlessly reaching my deep desire for an empowered experience in society?
The Sun’s Trine to Pluto supports clarity around whatever fears, behaviors, or destructive patterns have been holding us back. Ask yourself: How could my discernment and practical decision-making abilities help me manifest a passionate experience of my long-term goals? What empowers me that is sustainable and healthy?
Since the Sun opposes the Moon and Neptune in Pisces, we feel a heightened sense of empathy, creativity, and intuitive connections, over the next two weeks.
The Sun in Virgo also aligns with Mars in Libra. You might ask, how is this possible, if they are not even in the same sign? Since the Sun is in a late degree of Virgo and Mars is in an early degree of Libra, they are less than 6 degrees apart, so even though they are no longer in the same sign, they are still influencing each other.
This alignment gives us the courage to look at what isn’t working and actively collaborate with others to improve our current daily experiences. It also might stir up impatience and frustration when things don’t line up right away. Should this show up for you in the next two weeks, ask yourself: What might shift if I trusted the timing of everything that is currently unfolding?
Mars in Libra trines Saturn in Aquarius and the North Node in Gemini, creating yet another Grand Trine in the Air element (we also experienced this in the last couple of Lunations). Collaboration and conscious connection comes more easily.
Ask yourself: Who might welcome an open-minded, socially responsible, balanced and sustainable collaboration? Where can I build mutual respect with others?
Mercury (the ruler of Virgo) is currently in Libra, and exalted. Mercury squares Pluto in Capricorn (also exalted),and trines Jupiter in Aquarius. Let’s unpack that:
Mercury’s Square to Pluto in Capricorn creates some tension in our lives. We may feel anxious or stressed by one or more situations or interactions concerning one-on-one relationships.
We are being asked to find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing. Mercury and Pluto are both exalted at the time of this Full Moon, so this aspect will be quite strong!
Ask yourself: How can I empower myself and others 5% more today? How might an increase of Self-care support this desire for empowered conversations and connections? What needs to be said? What doesn’t?
If I observe an “all-or-nothing” attitude in myself, could I give myself permission to relax into the “love-energy” that always resides inside of me? Could I acknowledge first and then release any fears or concerns connected to achievements or relationships?
Mercury’s Trine to Jupiter in Aquarius makes for quite a “heady” and idealistic experience — it’s all about thinking big and innovating. This harmonious connection strengthens our ability to connect and collaborate with others.
Ask yourself:What are my expectations or attitudes towards the collective experience? What new vantage point might show me how to reinvent myself and my vision for “my people”?
Let’s also talk about: Venus in Scorpio making a Square to Saturn in Aquarius, making a Quincunx to Chiron in Aries, and opposing Uranus in Taurus, at the time of the Full Moon. These are all challenging aspects that could potentially create triggers, blockages, or some unexpected pulling away from others.
Venus’ Square to Saturn in Aquarius has us be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now. The key is to approach both from a place of deeper emotional authenticity and maturity rather than from attachment to a certain outcome.
Ask yourself: How might slowing down and taking it one step at a time be beneficial for my relationships and my finances right now? What if doing just that would strengthen my approach and make for better results?
Venus’ Quincunx to Chiron in Aries could make social interactions somewhat awkward. We may also have a hard time making financial decisions that feel satisfactory. As best as you can, bring a good dose of compassion and understanding to yourself and embrace your own humanity as much as possible… and remember: like everything else, this is only temporary 😉
Ask yourself: Could I give myself permission to have a human experience? To feel what I am feeling? To be compassionate toward myself and others when feelings come up? To go deeper on my healing journey towards an emotionally authentic place?
Venus’ Opposition to Uranus in Taurus calls us to balance “intimate togetherness” with “having our physical space”.
Ask yourself: If there were a way to fully honor my individuality in my intimate relationships, without needing to pull or push away… what might that way be? Could I shake things up a little, without being oppositional or offensive?
To sum it all up: This Full Moon teaches us about opening our hearts, and places an emphasis on improving all levels of our being. It is important to remember that Spirit is never separate from matter. One informs the other. We are all eternal, spiritual beings, learning how to be human.
Ask yourself: If I knew in advance that all will work out for the best, what would I be willing to endure? What actions would I take? Would doing my own research give me information that is in alignment with my own experience of things? What conclusions might I come to if I trusted my sixth sense?
Over the next two weeks, we are invited to allow for the flow of things and let go of destructive attachments and connections.
Ask yourself: Do I have fears or concerns that keep me from making progress and experiencing inner peace in my life?
Most of all, this Full Moon and the coming months urge us to be spiritual warriors, to consciously face our fears, and know that the ultimate challenge lies within. Fear negatively impacts our decision making capacity and makes us highly susceptible to manipulation and control.
For the next two weeks, ask yourself: How can I best discern between healthy fears, which require an immediate response to avoid harm, and unhealthy fears, which stem from a limited perception of who I am?
As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay curious and open-minded. Be direct without offending others. We are all on an extraordinary, unprecedented evolutionary journey; the faster things appear to happen, the more important it is to slow down.
Ask yourself: What if the greatest gift I could give myself over the next two weeks was the liberation of my heart-energies?
What might change for me if I approached everything from a neutral place, without judgment, “right or wrong”, personal opinions? What if I simply observed, like a scientist?
What if I allowed “the observed” to be exactly what it is, without needing to change it? Maybe even giving it some space?
Remember: Each “now moment” is a “new moment” — and each new moment empowers us to make new choices, if we choose to do so 😉

On May 13th, 2021, Jupiter changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking, and objective Aquarius to creative, sensitive, and intuitive Pisces. It will journey in that sign until July 28th, 2021. This is a preview of what’s to come in December of 2021, when Jupiter makes its second move into Pisces on Dec. 28th, this time until May 11th, 2022. There will also be a third pass through Pisces from Oct. 28th until Dec. 20th, 2022.
In our individual natal chart, the position of Jupiter reveals how we express generosity and tolerance, and how we go about trusting others and improving our lives. Where do you look for wisdom and understanding? Where do you need movement and spaciousness? Where do you feel optimistic and have faith that things will turn out ok?
Jupiter represents the principle of expansion — it operates like a magnifying glass. It’s been in Aquarius since Dec. 2020, where that magnifying glass was looking at creating more opportunity for (and through) communities or networks — whether online or local.
The planet urges an expansion of sustainable, long-term visions, and a greater understanding of our potential for a better future — for example, it helped us develop faith in our humanitarian goals, or highlighted a lack of faith in those things. It also showed us more clearly where our alliances lie on a personal and collective level.
Aquarius values both equality and diversity, so we’ve been getting to see what we believe to be true about our various communities or affiliations, and the collective vision for the future — and what stories we’ve been telling ourselves about the same — we also gained new perspectives on our collective experience and our networks of like-minded people.
Jupiter in Pisces brings the magnifying lens to bear on our inner divinity, our ability to receive, our connection to intuition, and our desire to contribute to life from a heart-centered place. The opportunity now is to bring the enthusiastic energies of Jupiter to the unification of all dualities — becoming more fully aware of the oneness of all.
Jupiter in Pisces also promotes a greater understanding of our potential for expanding the union within. This exists always, and we can tap into it at any time — it helps us to have faith in our ability to transcend falsehoods and illusions by tapping directly into Source.
Jupiter is in Piscesuntil July 28th, 2021, and then again later from Dec. 2021, until May 2022, and then one last time from Oct. 28th until Dec. 20th, 2022. During these three periods, we attract the most good fortune when we are tender, devoted, compassionate, kind, look out for the underdog, and give generously. We value compassion and charity, and are motivated by a universal vision; peaceful personal philosophies and faith in the goodness of life will serve us best.
We are more open to spiritual or creative endeavors. Possibilities for a great heart-expansion and recognition of our underlying interconnectedness are very strong; we are each particularly invited to go within and explore this on a very private or personal level.
We also have an inborn faith in the Universe. Solitude, working alone, and meditation can all bring us great pleasure and a sense of rejuvenation. We are merciful and generous — often anonymously. Jupiter in Pisces helps to create…

Jupiter in Pisces helps to create more joy and pleasure in the pursuit of our dreams. This process very well might operate on an inner spiritual level, so any intuitive messages that we receive and act upon with a positive attitude and outlook will likely pay off, leaving us feeling more emotionally connected and heart-centered.
In addition, since Pisces also connects to otherworldly energies and water, we may feel more drawn both towards messages from the other side, and to spending time near water in nature (rivers, lakes, the ocean, waterfalls, etc.).
Ask yourself: How does intuitive knowing occur for me? 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 is in the way of a connection to my inner divinity? What prevents me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance? What if I opened just 5% more to the perfection of life? What if I trusted 5% more to universal timing?
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”? How might I become more trusting and heart-centered when approaching my dreams? What creative or spiritual groups am I now ready to explore, that support a sensitive and all-inclusive approach towards all living beings?
Collectively, we will probably see the full spectrum of possibilities expressed, high and low — Pisces at its best is a compassionate energy, sensitive, intuitive; it cares about all of life and what’s beyond. It has the ability to dream up and create hopeful scenarios that unify us and bring an idealistic approach to the table.
In its denser, lower vibrations, we could find delusional approaches or attitudes. We may also feel like a victim, be overly sensitive, get overwhelmed easily, experience a feeling of separation, anxiety, lack of boundaries, escape-oriented behaviors (drugs, alcohol, sex, TV, video games, gambling, etc.), or beliefs connected to spiritual concepts that are too idealistic, too dreamy, in other words: wishful thinking.
No matter what we experience on a collective level, if we can trust our inner knowing, keep thinking with an open heart, and stay present on our journey towards unity and love, we will reap the rewards.
The motto for Jupiter in Pisces might be something like this: What you explore for yourself, you explore for all! What you give to everyone, you give to yourself!
Jupiter moves through a 12-year cycle, so the last time it traveled through Pisces was between mid Jan. 2010 and early June 2010, as well as early Sept. 2010 until late Jan. 2011.
And the previous cycles, from most to least recent, were: Early Feb. 1998 — mid Feb. 1999 Late Feb. 1986 — early March 1987 Early March 1974 — mid March 1975 Late March 1962 — early April 1963
Think back to any of the above periods that you lived through: what possibilities or opportunities arose for you on a creative or spiritual level? In what ways did you grow? In what ways did you expand your relationship to the Universe? To your Higher Self? Your intuitiveness?
What felt like a collective new beginning, or a new vision for mankind in 2010? In 1998? The other periods listed above? Where did you experience expansion in those years? How could you take that to the next level?
If you were born during any of those periods, you will have a Jupiter Return in 2021 or 2022 — these Jupiter Returns happen every 12 years and signify a new beginning on our journey towards greater evolution. If this is true for you, as best as you can, plant some new seeds for the next 12 years of your evolutionary journey and set some intentions in connection with the House placement of your natal Jupiter.
Neptune is also in Pisces. Given that Jupiter now moves over the same territory in our charts as Neptune, we get an opportunity to connect to our own divinity and bring a spiritual expansion for ALL. Jupiter will be within 5 degrees of NeptuneMarch 18th until May 10th, 2022.
Jupiter will connect with Neptune in almost 24º of Pisces on April 12th, 2022. This is the beginning of a 12 – 13 year spiritual growth cycle. We are invited to go within and trust our connection to God/Source/Higher Self/the Universe. We are also invited to slow down our enthusiasm for universal unity and love, and release our resistance to those things we feel separate from, or want to separate ourselves from.
Our heart-center and spiritual approaches need to focus on inter-connectivity and love. This is how we grow and expand as people over the next 12-13 years.
That said, we might also overdo our desire for “Oneness” and Love (Jupiter does, after all, represent excess as well 😉
Here are some questions we could ask ourselves in connection with the Jupiter-Neptune alignment in Pisces:
What might promote a new perspective on spiritual growth? Our ability to tap into our own divinity? How might we become more heart-centered and intuitive when dealing with life’s paradoxes? What spiritual beliefs are we now ready to explore or go beyond?
Could I allow myself to feel whatever shows up, even if it doesn’t make sense to the mind? Could I simply allow those feelings to flow through me?
[/wcm_restrict] Where does Jupiter-in-Pisces fall in your own birth chart? What aspects does it make during this transit? How does a wise response to one house support a more fruitful response to the next? What outward opportunities arise as Jupiter interacts with any of your personal planets? Where will you experience a major expansion until Dec. 2022? Where are you ready to open your heart and trust the larger play of life?
If you’d like more insight into those questions, we will cover Jupiter’s move through Pisces in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum (live on May 28th) — so if you want to know how this planetary movement is impacting you personally, feel free to join us live, or register for the mp4-video-presentation of the live event.

New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle, and are therefore an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon chart also has four planets in Pisces — including Venus. Due to Uranus’s transit through Taurus, Venus (as that sign’s depositor) has a lot to say about how we can more fully embrace our own unique value.
Venus in Pisces invites us to focus on our inner divinity, our ability to receive, our connection to intuition, and our desire to contribute to life from a heart-centered and grounded place.
Our emotional and physical bodies are giving us the information we need to better connect to ourselves and what we want to contribute out there in the world; if we listen carefully, we will also understand much better the best pace for accomplishing things without overwhelming ourselves.
Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces, Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces, and Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius, so these three planets play an important role in this New Moon chart. We will talk a little bit about them in a moment, but first let’s talk about Pisces, to see what this New Moon is all about:
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces…

At its highest vibration, Pisces unifies all dualities — it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.
Ask yourself: Am I (In other words, do I exist)? Could I let that be enough, just for right now? Keep repeating these questions until you feel completely relaxed and at peace.
Now, close your eyes, and ask yourself: Am I my body or am I more than that? Am I the sounds that I can hear inside and outside my head, or am I more than that? Am I the sensations that I feel and receive, or am I more than that? And, if I am more than those things, where do I begin? Where do I end?
Pisces is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.
At its densest expression however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we don’t go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we don’t rest enough, when we can’t trust ourselves — our inner processes and intuitive Selves.
Ask yourself: What is in the way of a connection to my inner divinity? What prevents me from slowing down? Turning inwards? Trusting my inner guidance? What if I opened just 5% more to the perfection of life? What if I trusted 5% more to universal timing?
This New Moon squares the degree of December’s Solar Eclipse, signaling a potential turning point in our collective perceptions, expectations, and assumptions.
Ask yourself: What am I aware of right now that would shift my perspective if I allowed myself to “feel into it”? What (or who) might bring about this shift? What might I see if I were looking at the bigger picture?
This New Moon aligns with Neptune and Venus in Pisces. This is a call to extend compassion, acceptance, or forgiveness to ourselves and others. Unconditional love for our feeling-body and our responses towards the world is also very helpful right now.
We may feel more sensitive — more tuned-in to other people’s feelings or suffering — and this gives us the opportunity to experience the full range of all feelings as they arise, and to sense our interconnectedness with everything around us. As best as you can, allow for the flow of all feelings, allow your heart to soften — open to the beauty in that connectedness to “all there is”.
Ask yourself: If I were to be totally honest with myself, what would I notice is draining, rather than inspiring me? Where do I seem to have a hard time discerning fact from fiction? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What might my dreams say to me? What message might my intuition have for me?
Is it at least possible that plenty of sleep, rest, or “going within” might serve my connection to the divine (aka “source”)? What else could show me my own divine nature?
Nature is a wonderful teacher for this — if you start to feel overwhelmed by what you are feeling or experiencing, connect with nature.
Spiritual practice is also wonderful here, of course (meditation, breathing exercises, mindfulness exercises, etc.); the same is true of spiritual/energetic healing modalities like Reiki, “Access Consciousness Bars”, shiatsu, acupuncture, etc. These can all help us tap into the higher vibrations of Pisces (and the Neptune-energy as well), as can the creative flow of dance, singing, music, sound, etc. — and of course, positive emotions such as love, gratitude, and compassion.
What else can help us experience our connection to “the all”? Feel free to share about a spiritual practice that works for you and that you love in the comments section…
Ask yourself: What might cause my heart to expand 5% more than usual? What is already in my current environment that opens my heart? What might change for me if I knew for certain that everything is proceeding according to plan? What might reconnect me to a spiritual trust?
The New Moon also makes a sextile to Pluto in Capricorn. We get an opportunity to be extra-present — and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans — especially those you feel really passionate about.
Surrendering our fears about our position in the world and our achievements gets a little easier. We also have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration and feel empowered about a project or task that might serve us long-term.
Ask yourself: How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears connected with past disempowerment? What has been confronting me lately when it comes to such fears?
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?
Allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature, your body, and your breath. Doing so will help you manifest more in less time — we don’t manifest more (or faster) by rushing things, but rather by getting and staying in tune with the creative process.
Ask yourself: Where am I headed? If everything is energy, and everything is always in perfect alignment on an energetic level, how could I get more in tune with my own energy-body? If I did tune in, is it at least possible that I could then be in more perfect alignment with my goals? What would trusting the unfolding of my goals look like to me?
Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces, is currently in Aquarius; it aligns with Mercury, and trines the North Node in Gemini.
The Alignment to Mercury in Aquarius shows us that we have the ability to see the bigger picture. We feel optimistic (sometimes maybe too optimistic) — and that helps us think big and far into the future.
Anything that expands our perspective is of interest; spiritual or mental journeys can definitely flourish, especially those connected with like-minded people or communities. If we don’t channel this energy into something that elevates our mind and soul, we may become a little restless or anxious.
Ask yourself: Might stepping outside of my daily routines bring me to a place where I can see my friendships and networks (or humanity’s future) from a new vantage point? What are my beliefs around groups and like-minded people? What might I see if I looked for a vision from that new vantage point?
Jupiter’s Trine to the North Node in Geminishows us that collaboration, tolerance, and equality can be achieved in our communities if we stay open-minded and bring a good dose of curiosity to our interactions.
Ask yourself: What questions could I ask myself or others, that might help me expand my perspective on the future? What about my perspective about a group of people with whom I disagree?
The North Node represents our collective Soul’s Journey at this time. In Gemini, we are asked to make an effort when connecting with others, by staying open-minded, curious, sharing our perspectives, and listening to understand someone else’s.
Ask yourself: What if I communicated with 5% more clarity and open-mindedness? Might listening 5% more attentively help to expand my various networks? How about seeing my assumptions about a particular group of people more clearly?
Saturn is the traditional ruler of Aquarius — and is currently in that sign, which it co-rules with Uranus — where it trines Mars in Gemini, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and of course still squares Uranus in Taurus. Let’s unpack that…
Saturn’s Trine to Mars in Gemini: this allows for solid and realistic ideas and concepts —that serve us long-term — to flow, be shared, and contemplated. Commitments made right now with like-minded people might well develop into something lasting.
Ask yourself: What might I share with my tribe if I wanted to manifest something that would last and be sustainable for all involved? What might “responsible sharing” look like? What could I teach or learn that could make an impact long-term for me and my communities?
In that spirit, I also wanted to mention some Interviews that I will be doing…
One with my Dear friend D’Angelo for the show: Beauty + Gratitude on Soulivity TV on April 2nd at 8pm ET, and the other one with Sasha from Venus Wisdom, for a weekend event called: Re-Dream the World Astro Retreaton March 19th.
I will be sending out more details via email about those events. So stay tuned for more soon…
Saturn’s Sextile to Chiron in Aries 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; so ask yourself: 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?
Feel free to click on the various links above for more about this aspect.
To sum it all up: We can tap into the divinity within through meditation, being in nature, music, dance, energy healing, dream work, creative writing, art, or being with our intuition. In the silence, we feel the oneness with all there is, and the unconditional love the Universe provides.
The next 28 days are an opportunity to tap into our intuitive and imaginative abilities, then focus anew on what’s important for us — again, without rushing it.
Many of us are exhausted, as much is shifting, collectively and individually. Inner work takes as much energy as physical work (sometimes more), so take extra care of your body.
Follow your inner guidance. Release, recharge, and remember that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience!
As best as you can, unplug, and listen deeply to your heart and soul; allow yourself to be with what is, without needing to change or fix anything. Then — and only then — take action!
If nothing else, do your best to take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can. Use them to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). Ask yourself: What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I became just 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what “is” to “just be”, just for this very moment?
Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject.
[/wcm_restrict] Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 21-25 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Before I talk about New Moon Intentions, let me mention my next FORECASTING FORUM…
This 90+ min. webinar will be an “ASK ME ANYTHING” Special event! Astrology Questions, as well as Coaching Questions are welcome!
You can join me live on Friday, March 26th at 2pm EDT/11am PDT/6pm GMT. If this date and time doesn’t work for you, watch the mp4-video recording of the live event.

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be between 5:21am and 11:38am on March 13th, and then again from 6:44pm on March 13th until 5:21am on March 15th (New York-time).
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-pageorfollow me on twitter as I post reminders on March 13th and 14th throughout the day, and March 15th in the early morning, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions 😉

The next Full Moon will be “exact” on Feb. 27th, at 3:17am EST in almost 9 degrees of Virgo — and by then, we are halfway through the Lunar cycle that started on Feb. 11th.
Take a look at the New Moon Intentions you set around Feb. 11th, and ask yourself: How far have I come with those Intentions? If I’m not where I’d like to be with them, what new course might bring 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. Virgo seeks personal and practical 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 find the balance between Virgo and Pisces, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? More accepting? What if my inner knowingness could inform practical choices? What if “choosing” was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?
What results might I get in my daily life if I dissolved my fears, judgments, and painful memories? Even if I could only do that as best as I can? What might a daily practice of self-forgiveness, acceptance, and learning to love myself do for me? What else might bring more inner peace?
All Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs:
Virgo‘s shadow side is “Judgement”; this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves, closing our heart and limiting our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. it’s what is showing up when we label things as “good or bad”, rather than seeing them in terms of “useful or unproductive”.
Drawing on the higher vibrations of Pisces helps us likewise connect with the higher vibration of Virgo… Pisces‘s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination; at its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.
The shadow side of Pisces is ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization, and poor or missing boundaries. And just as the converse is true, the best qualities of Virgo can move us back into the higher vibration of Pisces — qualities like the ability to choose wisely and to objectively discern what works and what doesn’t.
When both sides are well-integrated, we possess acuity of mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and the guidance of our intuition.
Ask yourself: What single step could I take right here and now, if I were setting out to employ 5% more self-compassion, unconditional love, and selfless service?
What if there were synergies between my emotional, intuitive understanding, and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts & intuitive knowingness? What if I could have both?
For the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities, so ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic? Where are things piling up? How can I make healthier choices?
Let’s talk about what’s important in this particular Full Moon chart:
The Moon in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus; quincunxes Chiron in Aries & Saturn in Aquarius (creating a Yod with the Moon as the Focal point); and opposes the Sun/Venus alignment in Pisces. Let’s unwrap all of that:
The Trine takes place in Virgo and Taurus, which are both Earth signs, so it’s easier to connect with our body and what we value, while an increased ability to discern “what’s what” can support us, should we be looking to make some changes in our physical world that further our physical, emotional, and mental well-being (in other words: wholeness).
This combo thus creates a “mutual support system” when it comes to manifesting something real that fits with our newfound values. It provides not only a flow of practical approaches, but also a wonderful opportunity to create more freedom in our current experience, along with an ability to do things differently and better.
Ask yourself: How could attention to detail help me be more discerning about how I connect to my body? What might open up if I implemented health routines or other systems that support my physical, emotional, and mental well-being?
What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? How might flexibility help me implement new daily routines?
Now let’s talk about the Yod that involves Saturn & Chiron, making the Moon in Virgo the Focal point: we are asked to become more aware of our need for improved health systems and routines. We are invited to distinguish the essential from the extraneous — i.e. to simplify and improve our relationship to health, wholeness, and well-being.
Rather than wasting time or energy on self-deprecation or disparagement of others, we are invited to take a closer look at what works and what doesn’t, both individually and collectively.
For the next two weeks, ask yourself: What might change for me if I approached everything from a neutral place, with no judgment, “right or wrong”, personal opinions? What if I simply observed, like a scientist? As if it was the first time I had ever laid eyes on what I am observing?
What if I allowed “the observed” to be exactly what it is, without needing to change it? Maybe even giving it some space?
We are also invited to acknowledge the more denser vibration of this Moon placement.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to notice when I am defending, justifying, shaming, or judging myself or others? Am I simply staying busy to avoid feeling unworthy? What if “being good” was not the goal? What if “becoming whole” was? What would that look like?
Could I bring 5% more awareness towards my physical and mental well-being? How could I be of service to others while taking care of my own emotional well-being? What physical (or mental) symptoms am I experiencing that need my attention and love? What does “progress not perfection” look like for me?
The Moon’s opposition to the Sun/Venus alignment in Pisces supports this Yod, which is asking us to bring more awareness for our interconnectedness with others, to our daily routines, along with a healthy balance between head and heart, science and intuition, discernment and compassion.
Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to release my fears and bless everyone I come into contact with? Could I lower my worry level 5% every day? Is it at least possible that this would strengthen my immunity — and therefore my physical and mental health? Is it at least possible that this would also enhance my vibrational energy body?
If you are experiencing moments of loneliness, helplessness or separation, ask yourself this: If I temporarily set aside memory, and just for the moment stayed out of concepts and imaginary futures — just looking here and now in this moment, can I find the one that is truly alone? Can I find the one that is helpless? That is separate?
What if connecting to my heart and higher Self could protect me? What if that connection could empower me to create a future that I truly want to “live into”? One in which I thrive? One in which everyone around me does too?
Mercury (the ruler of Virgo) is still in Aquarius (moving through its post-Shadow phase), and is sandwiched between Jupiter and Saturn.
This makes for quite a “heady” experience — it’s all about thinking big and innovating. This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions concerning our need for progress and collaboration. We are more able to demonstrate integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.
Ask yourself: What are my expectations or attitudes towards the collective experience? What new vantage point might show me how to realistically implement my vision for myself and “my people”?
As Mercury will no longer be Retrograde from Feb. 20th onwards, all planets will be moving in direct motionuntil April 27th, signaling that we have almost 9 weeks to make some major moves forward in our lives.
Ask yourself: What steps (whether large or small) might move me forward on my evolutionary path? How might a balance between “doing” and “being” support me on this path? What about “thinking” & “feeling”? Discernment & acceptance? Where might integrating head and heart lead me?
Just as they were two weeks ago, Saturn and Uranus are still squaring each other; since the New Moon they’ve had their first exact Square of the Year (on Feb. 17th). We will feel the effects of this Square until July 18th, and it is one of three this year (this one in February, then in June and December).
Both individually and collectively, this aspect asks us to stretch a little (or a lot) — best not to expect much of anything… except the unexpected!
As best as you can, embrace this, rather than fear it — see it as opening possibilities for tremendous progress, long-term changes in social interactions, more beneficial relationships to the planet and our physical and material worlds.
Saturn in Aquarius directs our focus towards realistic progress with technologies, inventions, and long-term visions for the collective. Uranus in Taurus, on the other hand, is prodding us to get back to the basics — to what really matters, is ecologically sustainable and indeed best for all living beings.
Given this, ask yourself: What does my body require before I can think about connecting with others? Where am I feeling a need for more spaciousness? What does my physical reality require before I can think about what to create for the future? Where do I need to “think outside of the box”?
We will also talk in more detail about the Saturn/Uranus Squares in Aquarius/Taurus — and how it all relates to your birth chart — in our upcoming Forum on Feb. 26th!

If we can recognize that we are doing the best we can at any given time, and that on a spiritual level all “mistakes” are just “experiences”, we can learn about empathy — and our brain will re-pattern itself around compassion, rather than criticism.
Ask yourself: What if I stood in a place of allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire myself or scare myself? Does my mind wander gravitate towards worst-case or best-case scenarios?
What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic? And even to my fearful mind chatter?
The moment you feel ungrounded or overwhelmed, ask yourself: Could I slow down and notice my breathing? What might breathing deeply and mindfully bring to this moment?
This Full Moon reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Rather than pushing, over-thinking, or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments, inside of faith in universal support.
In that spirit…
For the next two weeks, ask yourself: Where is the balance point for intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if far more is happening, both within each one of us and around the world, than meets the eye, ear, or news media?
What if the solutions were already available… just not widely distributed?
This Full Moon reminds us that peace comes from within, and can radiate from each one of us — we are what we choose to be in every “moment of now” — so choose wisely! Our future is birthed breath-by-breath, step-by-step, heart-by-heart.

On Sept. 2nd, at 1:22am EDT, the Sun opposes the Moon in 10 degrees of Pisces. The Moon in creative, free-flowing Pisces makes an opposition to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical Virgo. If you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject: click here.
With this Full Moon, we are dealing with two stationing planets — Mars & Jupiter — both of which we will investigate in more detail during our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Aug. 30th. Jupiter in Capricorn is preparing to end its 4-month Retrograde phaseonSept. 12th, and is therefore exalted; Mars in Aries is preparing to start its 9-week Retrograde phaseon Sept. 9th, and is also exalted.
We are getting ready to retrace our steps (Mars), and are looking for the moral high ground when it comes to our long-term goals or social structures (Jupiter). For a more in-depth interpretation of your own chart, feel free to get the Mars in Retrograde webinar here (unless you are already a Star Member — in that case, check your email, webinar was sent to you on Aug. 30th in the evening).
This Full Moon has six planets in Earth signs: The Sun & Mercury in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus, and Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter in Capricorn. A heavy concentration in Earth signs focuses our attention on our relationship with our body, money, resources, and the Earth.
Now let’s first address this Full Moon’s polarities: The Virgo/Pisces polarity has to do with our ability to connect the head with the heart, logic with intuition, matter with spirit. So the question is: how do we integrate Pisces and Virgo?
This may seem a challenging question, given Virgo’s leaning toward detailed, analytical understanding, contrasted with Pisces’ call to open our heart and allow for all (including things that seem paradoxical to the mind). In fact, on an energetic level there is no separation, everything is interconnected — we need both left- and right-brain (the logical and the creative).
Ask yourself: What if nothing and no one were separate? Appearing to be different, yes, but not separate…
The mind acts like a filtering mechanism that helps us to focus and function more efficiently. Virgo analyzes, whereas Pisces feels, senses. Virgo seeks physical wholeness, Pisces reminds us of a greater wholeness — a spiritual wholeness — our interconnectedness with all of life, the allowing of all the mysteries of life.
To be at its best, Virgo aims for practical applications and to be of service, while Pisces learns to listen to inner/intuitive guidance above all else, using its imagination to bring love and light into this world, to sprinkle mystery fairy dust, and to create Paradise on Earth.
When these two archetypes are balanced within, we discern without judgment, serve with an open heart, and improve our daily lives without getting hung up on timing or perfectionism, bringing love and compassion to all of life’s apparent curveballs.
That said, let’s also talk about the shadow side of those signs, as we do with all Full Moons: Virgo’s shadow side is…

Virgo’s shadow side is self-deprecation and judgment; the latter creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. Ask yourself: What if I did 5% less “perfection” and 5% more “process improvement”? What if it were ok to not know everything 100%? Could I be of service to others while also improving my own understanding of things?
How might “making mistakes” be beneficial to me? What if I celebrated “mistakes” as stepping stones to a better life?
Simply observe: Does my inner dialog observe and discern what is productive vs. what is unproductive (i.e. what works or what doesn’t)? Or do I label things as “good or bad”, “right or wrong”?
You could say that Pisces is an antidote to judgment: in its lightest expression, it understands that we are all souls in various states of development, with different paths in the world — we are all love at our core, and everything is ultimately an expression or variation of love.
The shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, getting lost in illusions, fantasies, and escapism of various sorts (this stems from being highly sensitive, feeling everything, and becoming overwhelmed).
As you may have guessed, the remedy for the Pisces shadow lies in the lighter vibrations of Virgo; these include the ability to focus on what works (versus what doesn’t), to make practical choices, and to make the best use of our daily engagements while taking care of our physical well-being.
When the Pisces- and Virgo-energies are integrated, we marry a clear, observant mind with a compassionate and loving heart — a mind in partnership with our intuitive sensing!
Ask yourself: What tools might shift my view of reality from either/or, to both/and? From the mind-activity of “wanting to understand” and “know” to the heart-activity of true understanding?
Let’s look at some of the aspects of this Full Moon:
The Moon in Pisces sextiles Uranus in Taurus, while the Sun in Virgo trines Uranus: We get an opportunity here to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”. We feel alive, we want to create a better future for ourselves and others, and we are excited to do it.
Originality and innovation come easy to us, as does connection with like-minded people; we can celebrate (and leverage) our idealism and unorthodox approaches to life’s challenges.
As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progress-oriented, new ideas about what is important to you, and other things that could make your own and other people’s life easier on a very practical level.
Ask yourself: What if I expressed what I uniquely valued without apologies? How might sudden ideas spark activities that feel in alignment with my personal values? And, looking at things from a different angle: What might be possible with a bigger network of like-minded people?
Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, in its own sign since April 2011, is currently in a Sextile to Jupiter in Capricorn. Since Jupiter is exalted, this combination spotlights any issues we have around beliefs — our own or other people’s — and the trust we place in each other and current social structures.
A Sextile is always an opportune aspect (i.e. when we access both planets in an active way we tend to get pretty good results); in this case, we want to access Neptune’s support to build compassion, understanding, and intuitive knowing, and connect all that to the way we look at our social structures and understanding.
The truth will set us free… And until Sept. 12th, when Jupiter ends its current Retrograde phase, that truth needs to be accessed on an internal level — after Sept. 12th, we can start to bring our understanding of things to the world at large.
Ask yourself: What is my truth in connection with my long-term goals and social standing? Could I allow my truth to be valid without making others wrong for theirs? What might change if I added compassion and understanding to the picture? How might checking in with my intuitive “voice” on a daily basis serve me with all of this?
Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, also currently in its own sign, is trining the Saturn-Pluto alignment in Capricorn, and sextiling Venus in Cancer. Matters of the mind will be experienced more strongly. As best as you can, use this energy wisely: make lists, look at the pros and cons of a situation, neutrally observe what works and what doesn’t.
Ask yourself: What serves me long-term? What empowers me and is sustainable? What choices do I need to make to smooth the path right now? Where are my opportunities for making sound decisions in connection with family or home? What is calling out to be simplified in my daily routines?
Mercury also squares the Moon Nodes in Gemini/Sagittarius. Squares mark important turning points, where we must make a perceptual shift in order to move forward — and this one is a turning point in our day-to-day thinking — we must balance gathering or processing information against going beyond what we have accumulated to a higher perspective — one that elevates our understanding of our current situation.
Ask yourself: How might I be able to broaden my horizons? What would it make possible for me if I got really clear about what works in my daily routine and what doesn’t? Could I give myself permission to venture beyond my daily routine?
How does my day-to-day thinking contribute to connecting my mind, body, and spirit? How does my thinking keep me separate from others? From myself? My body? My heart?
We may also feel a pull between introversion and extroversion, or simply between fast and slow; if you feel such a pull, ask yourself: Could I simply tune in for a moment and see if I need to take a break (or at least slow down a little)? How might a positive attitude towards experimentation, coupled with the ability to remain curious, serve me for the next two weeks?
We also have a T-Square in place, with Mars in Aries as the Focus planet, squaring Saturn in Capricorn on one side, and Venus in Cancer on the other. This asks us to stretch and grow by taking a look at our masculine energies and how we are using them (Mars represents the masculine principle of assertion, active passion, personal willpower, and protection). We are also invited to acknowledge any restrictions or limitations that we are experiencing in our relationships with others.
Taking Aries into account, together with the fact that Mars is exalted, we can see that we are being invited to actively and courageously connect with others, asserting ourselves while allowing others to contribute to our new projects or passions.
Since Mars is feeling the stress of Saturn and Venus, we may experience frustrations with long-term goals, and challenging situations at home.
Ask yourself: What am I willing to fight for? What am I passionate about? What if patience was itself the path?
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 Libra — here we are invited to act from a place of inner balance and a desire for collaboration and justice or peace for everyone involved.
Ask yourself: What stirs me to action? How could I inspire others to join or collaborate with me? How might my actions help others achieve more justice, more peace? Could I use the passion and fire in my body & soul to negotiate a win-win? What would it take to have a fair fight?
Mars also sextiles the North Node in Gemini and trines the South Node in Sagittarius. This gives us the opportunity to use our current passionate energies and drive for forward movement to engage more fully with our current collective Soul explorations.
Ask yourself: What difference might listening 5% more attentively make in achieving my goals? What if I communicated with 5% more clarity and directness?
What might change for me if I questioned my assumptions around what I think I know? Around who I think I am? Around the reason things are the way they are? What new information might I spot if I stepped back and took a wider view?
To sum it all up: This Full Moon teaches us about opening our hearts, and places an emphasis on improving all levels of our being, with an especially strong focus on the physical plane. It is important to remember that Spirit is never separate from matter. One informs the other.
Ask yourself: If I knew in advance that all will work out for the best, what would I be willing to endure? What actions would I take?
As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay curious and open-minded. Communicate your truth without expecting everyone to have the same beliefs or attitudes. Be direct without offending others. We are all on an extraordinary, unprecedented evolutionary journey; the faster things appear to happen, the more important it is to slow down.
Each day, indeed each moment, each breath, we have a choice. If we don’t like what happens, we can go into regret, or place blame on something or someone (ourselves included), or we can set the intention to choose differently the next time around. Each now moment is a new moment — and each new moment empowers us to make new choices — if we choose to do so 😉
For the next two weeks, as best as you can, be kind and compassionate with yourself. Surround yourself with caring, loving energies — and sift, sort, and simply let go of whatever is cluttering your life.
Ask yourself: What if the greatest gift I could give myself over the next two weeks was the liberation of my heart-energies?
Over the next two weeks, we might experience synchronicities that seem to confirm that, indeed, a larger intelligence is at work. Experiment with saying this affirmation each morning when you wake up and each night before you go to bed: “I am part of a larger intelligence & energy field that interconnects me with all there is. And so it is!”.

"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!"
Readings by Sonja Francis
The Natal Chart reveals the planets as they were at the time of your birth. During a reading with Sonja, you will uncover your life’s potential — including your Soul’s Journey and Soul Purpose. More importantly, you will learn how you can direct those unique talents and energies to have a life you love.
You also learn about parts of yourself that have not been fully integrated and what you can do to become more whole and empowered. Sonja will also look to see how the current transits are affecting you in your life right now to support you in making powerful choices for your personal evolution.
