Stay Open to the New and Unexpectedly Different
This week’s headline items: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning, Uranus ends its 5-month Retrograde phase (in Taurus) on Thursday very early morning, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Friday; and the first of the “big” Uranus Squares becomes exact on Sunday early evening.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Wednesday very early morning (for almost 9.5 hours), Thursday early morning (for almost 37 hours), and Sunday late evening (for almost 3.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Jan. 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius and VoC until 8:30am EST; at that time, the Moon moves into ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn. It will journey there until Wednesday late morning/early afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it will be transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to take a look at our visions for humanity, and at anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our communities (locally or online).
It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people; as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago?
Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now, and with where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to? This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the New Moon (exact Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning).
Monday early afternoon, a Mercury/Jupiter alignment in almost 5 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact at 12:19pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday (Jan. 9th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening (Jan. 13th). This alignment brings optimism and a tendency to talk and think more. It favors exploring our visions for the future, submitting applications and forms, and test-taking.
We can more readily exercise good judgment, be more philosophical in our thinking, and bring wholeness and order to our communities and connections with like-minded people. There is a sense of mental expansion — we see our vision for humanity (or particular group causes) as a source of adventure and personal growth.
We are optimistic and enthusiastic, and things tend to go well as a result — it’s all about thinking big and innovating. What if expanding our concept of group consciousness, the collective, and “one for all and all for one” helped us be more peaceful and calm? What if that in turn helped us manifest our desires?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-8 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mercury’s movements and aspects; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)
Also, Monday early afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 12:23pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Sunday (Jan. 10th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (Jan. 12th). We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, social media or email interactions.
We are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like “impatient self-talk”, or the use of aggressive language (swear words for example).
Here’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family’s attitude towards communication? Toward speaking up for yourself? What if you tried a kinder approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 3 or 5 years old? What if you tried using a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).
And last but not least, Monday early afternoon, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 12:48pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Jan. 1st on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (Jan. 20th). It’s an opportunity to bring healing to wounds around social conditioning or our belief systems.
We get a chance to grow and heal insecurities around being “too different”, or around what we believe to be true about ourselves and others; this healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-7 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will be…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Jan. 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until Monday night/Tuesday very early morning; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday at 4:34pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 8 hours, until 12:42am EST (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to be precise and practical in your thinking and work. You may also want to be active and have an adventure with others. The tension between these two urges invites us to stretch a little and reach resolution through creative solutions — the key here is to be of service and allow for experimentation, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy. You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late afternoon until Monday night/Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.
Monday evening, a Mercury/Pluto alignment in a little over 24 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 7:58pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Saturday evening (Jan. 2nd) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely.
We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about — and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully — if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-27 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may feel more…

Breaking Away from Traditional Values
This week’s headline items: Chiron’s Station phase ends on Monday; the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Uranus starts to slow down (station) on Wednesday; and Venus moves over the degree of Dec. 14th’s Solar Eclipse on Saturday late evening.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours), Thursday morning (for a little over 5 hours), and Saturday late afternoon (for a little over 3 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to…
Wish everyone a beautiful transition into the New Year! May we all be able to let go of what has burdened us in 2020, and move with vigor, lightness, and joy into 2021.

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Dec. 28th:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early morning. Today, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…
The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂
Monday at 10:01pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 7.5 hours, until 5:28am EST (Tuesday early morning). If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to move things forward for yourself, especially anything connected to personal goals or projects.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening until Tuesday early morning ahead of time.
Also, Monday, Chiron ends its Station phase (at 5º of Aries) and gets back to its normal pace through the sky — We have a chance to implement everything we learned during the Retrograde phase and move forward with healing any physical, sexual, or “identity” wounds, or insecurities and sensitivities that came up around the masculine energies.

Our Humanitarian Goals — Forecast for Dec. 21st – 27th
This week’s headline items: the Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, early Monday morning; a rare Jupiter/Saturn alignment in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday afternoon; the first Quarter Moon in Aries becomes exact on Monday evening; Venus opposes the degree of Nov. 30th’s Lunar Eclipse on Tuesday morning; and Eclipse Season ends on Thursday.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday early morning (for a little over 12 hours), Wednesday early evening (for 12 hours), and Saturday morning (for 12 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Dec. 21st:
Monday is quite a big day (astrologically speaking); the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces. It will journey there until 5:32pm EST. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
Monday early morning, at 5:02am EST, the Sun changes signs from adventurous, optimistic, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter — aka the Winter Solstice.
The Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.
The Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until Jan. 20th, 2020. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.
We have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.
All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.
Monday at 5:25am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 12 hours, until 5:32pm EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to 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.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday early afternoon, a rare Jupiter/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Aquarius becomes exact at 1:21pm EST. The last time Jupiter aligned with Saturn in Aquarius was in the year 1405!!! As for this current alignment, we started to feel it building from Nov. 23rd on and it will remain strong until January 16th, 2021. It offers an opportunity to build long-term structures and foundations that bring about an expansion for all of humanity.
Jupiter and Saturn come together every 20 years. The last Jupiter-Saturn conjunction took place at 22º44′ of Taurus on May 28th, 2000 and the next one will be on Oct. 31st, 2040 at almost 18º of Libra.
Since this is the beginning of a 20-year social-economic cycle, we need to plan for the collective long game; it is important to look past our enthusiasm for a greater vision for the world we live in and focus instead on visualizing practical results within groups and communities, so we feel motivated to achieve them.
We will be wise to adopt a step-by-step approach to the realization of our humanitarian goals, conduct ourselves with integrity, and employ an ethical, mature, and open-minded approach.
Our inventions and unusual approaches need to focus on long-term sustainability and group consciousness. This is how we grow and expand as people over the next 20 years.
We might also overdo our need to “achieve something great for humanity” (Jupiter does, after all, represent excess as well).
Here are some questions we could ask ourselves in connection with the Jupiter-Saturn alignment in Aquarius:
Where have we been limiting ourselves, socially speaking? Where have we been wasting time? Energy? Resources? What might promote a new perspective on our social-economic goals? Or our achievements in our various communities? How might we become more tolerant and inventive when approaching life’s challenges? What humanitarian aspirations are we now ready to explore? What could we achieve in that regard over the next 20 years? How can each one of us get involved and be a part of this new future?
If you didn’t watch my powerful webinar about this Great Conjunction yet, and still would like to learn how this new 20-year social-economic cycle will impact you personally, watch my webinar “Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius, Dec. 2020″ — all about how it relates to your own Birth Chart.

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Dec. 6th late evening.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in the following: 0-6 degrees of of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, or 27-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius or Capricorn (Jupiter rules Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)
Monday at 5:32pm EST, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Thursday morning. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.
Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).
Monday evening, the first Quarter Moon in almost 0.5 degree of pioneering, fast-paced Aries becomes exact at 6:41pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aries earlier today. The Moon in pioneering, enthusiastic, fast-paced Aries makes a challenging aspect to the Sun practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn.
Last week (Dec. 14th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius. If we set some intentions on Dec. 16th or 17th we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum — in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.
Remember, we’re still in Eclipse Season until Dec. 24th, and thus don’t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, and find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow also for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that’s true in general, but especially true until Eclipse season ends 😉
Another thing to remember: if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. We are receiving a consciousness upgrade — that’s a good thing!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-3 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer or 28-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel…

An Experimental Attitude — Forecast for Dec. 14th – 20th
This week’s headline items: a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius becomes exact Monday late morning; Venus changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Tuesday late morning; Chiron comes to a halt, ending its 5-month Retrograde phase, on Tuesday late afternoon; its time to start setting our New Moon/Solar Eclipse intentions from Wednesday late morning on; Saturn changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning; Neptune ends its Station phase on Friday; Jupiter changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Saturday morning; and Mercury changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Sunday morning.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 11 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for almost an hour), and Saturday very early morning (for almost 4 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:
Since Saturn and Jupiter will move into Aquarius this week, we will start to feel the Great Conjunction that will be exact next week Monday (Dec. 21st), on the day of the Winter Solstice, no less. If you didn’t watch this powerful webinar yet, and still would like to learn how this new 20-year social-economic cycle will impact you personally, watch my webinar “Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius, Dec. 2020″ — all about how it relates to your own Birth Chart.

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Dec. 6th late evening 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Dec. 14th:
Monday is quite a big day! The Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius. Where it will journey until 10:35pm EST. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday late morning, at 11:17am EST, the New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in 23 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons that take place approximately every 6 months. During a Solar Eclipse, the Moon momentarily interrupts the normal flow of solar radiation, destabilizing existing configurations of energy and reorganizing consciousness to a higher level. Solar Eclipses indicate the beginning of a new experience, project, or cycle.
This is the last of six Eclipses in 2020. While there is a New Moon each month, Eclipses occur only 4-7 times a year, when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are precisely enough aligned. You may also want to watch my Solar Eclipse video.
Eclipses usually come in pairs (Solar and Lunar), and Eclipse season starts 10 days before the first Eclipse (in this case, the Lunar Eclipse in Gemini), and continues through the time of the second Eclipse (for this eclipse season, that would be the Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius ). This Eclipse Season thus started back on Nov. 20th and will last until Dec. 24th, 2020.
While eclipse season is underway, allow for new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within — try using conscious breathing and conscious flexibility — and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body. And remember, this won’t last forever: on Dec. 24th, the downloads are complete 😉
Eclipses are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release of some sort, and a recalibration — “old” codes will get deleted and new ones downloaded, especially in connection with belief systems, social and cultural conditioning, and assumptions we carry around with us. This helps us see from a wider perspective.
The Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse, switching between the North and South Node Eclipses, emphasizing the evolutionary upgrades that are available to us during such times. This is the first South Node Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius since the Moon Nodes moved into the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity in early May 2020.
South Node Eclipses ask us to release or redefine energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. They highlight past issues that need our attention, so we can grow beyond our conditioning, individually and collectively.
Eclipses are crossroads or turning points along our Soul’s Journey. They are often marked by events or situations that signify a critical shift in our lives, nudging us to either change and grow, or face greater difficulties at the next turning point.
Solar Eclipses, in particular, often correspond with major endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same degree every 19 years and the last time we had a South Node Solar Eclipse in that same degree was in Dec. 2001.
We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — “resonant”, rather than identical — so think back to the Winter of 2001/2002, and ask yourself: Were there any major endings and beginnings? What was important to me back then? If I were to take those priorities to the next level, where would that next level find me?
If you’re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart — the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is most ready to release outdated beliefs and social conditioning and go to a new level of consciousness.
Solar Eclipses are a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to redefine or release over the next 6 months — we’ll dig into this in more detail towards the end of this article, when we talk about setting Solar Eclipse Intentions.
With the Solar Eclipse in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for a larger perspective.
For the next six months, ask yourself: What philosophies most resonate with me? What life perspectives are no longer serving me? What stories have I been telling myself about life? What universal truths feel immediately in alignment with my direct experience of life right now? Where is my understanding of life different from where it was 3 years ago? Do I see the glass as half-full or half-empty? Do I shy away from life’s challenges or thrive on exploring new ways to deal with adversity?
If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to read the whole article here, and get access to all the Coaching Questions for this Solar Eclipse.
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 18-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces? 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).
Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just the next 28 days.
Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done 48 hours after the Eclipse becomes exact. We are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and the energies are quite intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions… We also definitely do not want to do this during a Moon void of course.
There are therefore two best and most potent times to set your Intentions for this Solar Eclipse: the first one lasts a little over 13 hours, between 11:17am (on Dec. 16th) and 12:34am (on Dec. 17th) — and the second one lasts for almost 34 hours, between 1:27am (Dec. 17th) and 11:17am Friday (Dec. 18th) — (in US Eastern Time — i.e. the New York time zone).
Set powerful intentions — again, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the Sagittarian energy! 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 😉

Monday at 11:17am EST, right after the New Moon/Solar Eclipse becomes exact, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 11 hours until 10:35pm EST. Use this intuitive time to tune in, get still, and get in touch with your “Higher Mind”, to see what it has to say to you.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until the late evening ahead of time.
Monday afternoon, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 3:58pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday evening (Dec. 12th) on; it will be strong until this Wednesday evening. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and being of service play a big role in our interactions with others.
We can call upon extra tolerance, optimism, and cooperation when dealing with authority figures or business dealings. Financially speaking, things are “on the up” — we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks — if we make sound decisions that are aligned with the interests of our long-term goals.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Virgo, Pisces, or 0-1 degree of Sagittarius, Aquarius, Libra, or Aries? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday at 10:35pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday night/Thursday early morning. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” 😉
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn;
For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.
Monday late evening, a harmonious Mercury/Mars aspect becomes exact at 11:24pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Saturday afternoon (Dec. 12th) on; it will be strong until this Thursday morning (Dec. 17th). This aspect helps us clarify our personal goals. We act from our excited thinking, with courage and passion; we tend to be enthusiastic and funny, and an experimental attitude is also supported.
We are quick, perceptive, and brave — interestingly, one of the things we easily perceive is the weaknesses of others. Our minds are more optimistic, so it’s important that we stay realistic. We have expansive thoughts; we have lively conversations in which we speak our truth without compromise and yet without coming across as too blunt or offensive — on the other hand, our passion might mean we come across as rather impatient.
We seem to “download” great insights (and make superb decisions) at the very last minute — and the good news is, we can easily turn those insights into workable projects. Use this energy to your advantage — there is plenty of it!
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, or Leo? If so, you may feel…

A Spirited & Enthusiastic Confidence
This week’s headline items: Mercury opposes the Lunar Eclipse degree of 8.5º of Gemini very early Monday morning; the last Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday evening; Chiron’s Station intensifies on Wednesday; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Friday early morning; Sunday is the last day before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for 1.5 hours), Thursday evening (for an hour) and Saturday late evening (for a brief 41 minutes).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Dec. 7th:
Monday, Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement started the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact later today).
Monday, very early morning, around 3am EST, Mercury in Sagittarius transits the degree of Nov. 30th’s Lunar Eclipse in Gemini-Sagittarius — and we may experience something that provides insight, most likely around our relationship to communication. We are invited to listen to how we perceive and say things, and to communicate or share something that helps us connect to others, rather than leaving us feeling superior to them.
Observe how this plays out for you today: Where (or with whom) are you looking to connect? What are you most aware of? You are invited to process and share any outdated beliefs or cultural conditioning. What conversations might clear the way, so you can move forward powerfully, with an open mind and clear information?
Monday very early morning, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable.
Monday morning, we are being asked to stretch and grow — to undertake a process of adjusting our thinking. You may feel a little scatter-brained or all over the map. As best as you can, stay flexible — and don’t be too hard on yourself.
Monday evening, at 7:37pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 16.5 degrees of Virgo becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Virgo, last week, Sunday afternoon (Dec. 6th). The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful and practical Virgo makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius.
This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change.
This Moon phase brings us closer to Dec. 14th, which will bring a powerful New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in Sagittarius.
With this particular last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last Eclipse — in this case, around June 21st. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since June 21st? What did it mean for you?
As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini, or Pisces? If so, you will feel…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Nov. 30th:
Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. Until then, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂
Monday early morning, at 4:30am EST, the Full Moon becomes exact, in 8.5 degrees of Gemini; as mentioned above, the entrance of the Moon into Gemini Sunday late morning (Nov. 29th) started the energetic build up towards this Full Moon. This powerful Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse, the first of two Eclipses within a two week-period, offering an opportunity for expanding our thinking and expressing ourselves with confidence and optimism.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, a Lunar Eclipse therefore stimulates our emotional body and increases our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. If you are already a Member of my online community, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video for more details.
Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (on a collective and individual level). All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved: The Moon and the North Node are in chatty, versatile Gemini, while the Sun and the South Node are in adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius. Feel free to also check out my webinar in connection with those Moon Nodes: our collective Soul Journey until Jan. 2022 (if you haven’t seen it yet).
The more receptive we are to these transformative downloads, the easier and more quickly we can integrate them: time in nature, meditation, art, and spiritual endeavors support this integration process and help us be attuned to these evolutionary upgrades.
Lunar Eclipses give us a chance to realize how far we’ve come since the time of the last set of Eclipses — we gain a better insight as to whether we are where we’d like to be, or if it’s time to correct our course.
The last Lunar Eclipse in the same polarity was on June 5th, 2020. This current Eclipse cycle will continue a conversation that started back then around our beliefs and attitudes towards government and how we meet challenges that are coming up as a collective: Could we each take responsibility for our part in that conversation and the stories we are attached to? Are we willing to participate in that conversation in a mature way? Are we hiding behind “old” beliefs and social conditioning?
Are we able to acknowledge our limitations and shortcomings without making others “wrong”? Are we willing to approach this unique collective situation with a curious mind and an open heart?
This current Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse has two Quincunxes, a highly exalted Neptune in Pisces — that also squares the Moon Nodes — and a supportive connection to Chiron (the Wounded Healer). I will go into all those in detail in a moment…
As our collective consciousness continues to awaken, what’s been in the shadows comes to the forefront more and more, so we can see it more clearly and deal with it on a conscious level. Lunar Eclipses allow us to see the Shadow aspects of each sign as well.
The consequences of our choices and motivations also become more obvious. It is therefore more important than ever to ask yourself: Am I choosing from love or fear? Love expands, fear contracts. Love unifies, fear divides. What am I experiencing more of? And how could I experience 5% more expansion of the heart? 5% greater unification of mind and soul?
Until Jan. 2022, we will be dealing with the Sagittarius/Gemini polarity, as the Moon Nodes will be moving through those two mutable signs until then — and given this, we will be seeking balance and integration around those two poles — collectively and individually speaking… So let’s look at those signs in more detail:
The Moon and North Node in Gemini, invite us to… If you are already a Member of my online community, read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse, here.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 3-14 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, or Pisces? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)
Monday afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 2:01pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Sunday afternoon (Nov. 29th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday night. This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.
How can we get the most from this opportunity? By allowing ourselves to go deeper as we investigate our fear-based thinking or self-defeating behaviors. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.
If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more deeply, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following 26-29 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, Virgo or 0-1 degrees of Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn)
Monday at 11:22pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 23 hours until 10:33pm EST (Tuesday late evening, Dec. 1st). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — and to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Nov. 23rd:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for today and tomorrow morning.
Monday morning: we are invited to share about deep emotional issues and support each other in a loving and compassionate way. As best as you can, allow for feelings to flow, and release anything that feels “old” or “toxic”.
Monday late morning, we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.
Monday evening, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust the subtle messages in your heart that stir you towards success.
Monday late evening, a harmonious Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 11:40pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday night (Nov. 21st) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday night. This aspect supports imaginative thinking and the ability to connect our day-to-day mind with our intuition.
We pick up on what is going on with people, and can flow with that, as we can sense how our words land. This heightened sensitivity to subtle signals also opens us to metaphysical or spiritual concepts, visual arts, poetry — and to commercial messaging from advertisers and marketers.
Do you have any of your personal planets or Ascendant in 15-21 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces or Cancer? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).
Also, Monday late evening, we get an opportunity to be wholly present; also to bring an expansive perspective to our current relationship to self-mastery. This is a great time to be looking for…

Our Desire to be Whole & Empowered — Forecast for Nov. 16th – 22nd
This week’s headline items: Mars’s Station phase continues all week; Neptune’s Station intensifies on Wednesday; on Thursday afternoon, Mercury ends its post-Shadow phase, and it’s also time to start taking actions on our New Moon intentions. On Friday, Eclipse season begins; Venus changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Saturday morning; the Sun changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Saturday afternoon, and the first Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact Saturday late evening.
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday very early morning (for almost 9 hours), Thursday late morning (4 hours), Friday evening (a little over 27 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Nov. 16th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence — and taking these two influences together, this means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders.
Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday very early morning, a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 12:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday afternoon (Nov. 13th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Nov. 18th). This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around our values and relationships.
We have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.
We mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time — but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending, overindulging and over-promising could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.
As best as you can, weigh the benefits and limitations of any given situation or relationship (including those that lie within yourself or the other people involved), then base your decisions on what works best in the moment. Ask yourself: If I were less concerned with morality and “rightness”, what might I perceive about this from a neutral rather than a personal perspective?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer ? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday late morning: we have lots of energy and a positive attitude towards life. If you are awake, start something you feel passionate or enthusiastic about — what projects come to mind? What would be a fantastic use for all the physical energy that you have currently access to?
Monday afternoon, we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within.
You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can,…

A Time of Personal & Collective Growth — Forecast for Nov. 9th – 15th
This week’s headline items: Mars is still exalted all week (stationing); Mercury changes signs (again) from Libra to Scorpio on Tuesday late afternoon; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday evening; Neptune starts to slow down (stationing) on Thursday; the third Jupiter/Pluto conjunction of the year becomes exact Thursday afternoon; the Mars Retrograde ends late on Friday evening and starts its post-Shadow phase; the New Moon/Super Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning.
There will be four Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), Wednesday early morning (for a little over 5 hours), Friday morning (for almost 5 hours), and Sunday morning (for a little over 4.5hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:
If you missed my Forecasting Forum… and still would like to learn how the upcoming planetary movements in November are impacting you personally… feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about “Mars in Aries & Neptune in Pisces Exalted, Nov. 2020″ — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…

Star Members: check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Nov. 8th late evening 😉
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Nov. 9th:
Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Leo. It will journey there until 8:30am EST. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.
We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂 So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can.
Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no actual children around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
Monday at 6:05am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 2.5 hours until 8:30am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to have fun connecting with others one-on-one, collaborating on things that are both mentally stimulating, and joyful.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time.
Monday at 8:30am EST, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Wednesday late morning; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.
Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.
Monday late morning, a Venus/Mars opposition becomes exact at 11:08am EST. We started to feel this opposition from Friday afternoon on; it will be strong until Wednesday evening. We are becoming more aware of a need to balance and integrate our masculine and feminine energies from within. Some level of competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst could be present in some of our relationships with the opposite sex at this time.
Something that is definitely key right now is expressing our passion in a way that is compatible with our values. If you find yourself in a love-hate bind with someone, simply ask yourself: What would “Love” do right now?
Think back to late Aug. 2019, when Venus was conjunct Mars in Virgo: What seeds were planted back then? Did you change how you access your feminine and masculine energies? You are now aware of what you have (and haven’t) integrated since then… Do you like what you see? Is there more room for integration?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 12-18 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn or Cancer? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. 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)
Monday night, a harmonious Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 12:11am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday evening (Nov. 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday late evening. This aspect could be tremendously supportive when it comes to dissolving what no longer serves us.
Our intuition, imagination, and inspiration all seem to be “zeroed in”. We go beyond “tolerance”, to lovingly embrace differences in others, and give where it’s needed with open hearts and hands. All of this also feeds into any creative and spiritual endeavors that start around this time.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or one or more personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces or Cancer? If so, you will…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Nov. 2nd:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus and VoC until 5:00am EST; until then we love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing for the next three days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉 This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact Saturday late morning).
The Moon Void of Course (VoC) (that lasts until 5:00am EST) invites you to slow down a little (if you are already awake during this intuitive time) and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. Rushing will backfire right now.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.
Monday at 5am EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon.
For the next 2.5 days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way. The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂
Monday late afternoon, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections?
Monday evening, we get a chance to…

Forgive Yourself for having a Human Moment
This week’s headline items: on Tuesday late evening, Mercury changes signs from Scorpio to Libra (still moving backwards due to its retrograde), and Venus changes signs from Virgo to Libra; Mars starts to slow down again (station) on Wednesday, preparing to end its 9-week Retrograde phase; Mercury likewise slows down again on Thursday, preparing to end its 3.5-week Retrograde phase; last but not least, the Full Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Saturday late morning.
I should also mention that Daylight Savings Time ends here in the US, very early on Sunday.
There will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday evening (for 8 hours), Friday early afternoon (for a little over 5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for 7.5 hours).
I have several webinars on sale right now… feel free to click on the links below for more info:
- Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio-Libra, Oct. 2020

- Moon Nodes in Gemini-Sagittarius until Jan. 2022
- Monthly Forecasting Forum – Nov. 8th
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 26th:
Monday, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day. It will journey until Wednesday early morning. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all — but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.
But… that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn’t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.
It’s also a great time for releasing fears — especially the ones based on a sense of separation — and experiencing “oneness”. Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them — in fact, “going with the flow” is the best way to go for the next couple of days.
Monday late morning, we get an opportunity 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”.
As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you, and things that could make yours and other people’s life easier on a…

Difficult Knowing When to Stop — Forecast for Oct. 19th – 25th
This week’s headline items: Tuesday is not only the time to start taking actions on your New Moon intentions, but the Mercury station finally ends! The Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Thursday evening; the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Friday late morning; the Pluto station ends on Saturday.
I should also note that Daylight Savings Time ends in Europe and Great Britain early Sunday morning,
There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for a little over 3 hours), Thursday night/Friday very early morning (almost 8 hours), and Saturday early evening (almost 23.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, one last mention:

They are very powerful and very gentle at the same time, as they allow you to let go of any stress or uncomfortable feelings, and provide a chance to reconnect with the inner peace and calm that is always available to you underneath all of the turmoil or stress.
The regular price for three sessions would come to $471.00, but until Sunday at midnight EDT, I will offer three of these packages for only $387 — that’s only $129 per session instead of $157.00!

Here are some testimonials from people who have done Coaching-Healing sessions with me:
“I wanted to thank you as soon as possible. Your Spirit is so wonderful. And the work your Spirit does is so needed on this Earth. Please just know that my life INSTANTLY transformed through my session with you. Blessed Be the day you walked into my life.” — Bev L.
“I can’t thank you enough for your support and guidance!!! I feel liberated in many ways and want to give YOU the credit for this newly found sense of ease, and power (I feel that so much energy is now available to me!)” — A. M.
Again, if this is for you, email me right away: sonja@AstrologerCoach.com. The first three people to reach out to me will get the discount and the Bonus gift!
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 19th:
Monday is a big day (astrologically speaking): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day. Where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.
As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.
Monday very early morning, a challenging Mars/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 1:38am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Oct. 11th on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Oct. 26th). This aspect is an opportunity to grow by stretching between two poles:
On the one hand, we want to move fast and follow our personal passions; on the other hand, we also want to take a look at the longer game for society and at our limited beliefs around worldly achievements — understanding our long-term strategies before we make a move.
Here’s the question: Do these desires have to be in conflict with each other? What if there were a way to honor our desire for a passionate, exciting new beginning on a personal level, while also expanding our perspectives around the longer game for society? What if this could also be combined with honoring our quest for a socially responsible way of life? And what if that way of life could feel exciting and sustainable for all?
We seek excitement and growth right now; we may not be satisfied with how things are — we feel an inner restlessness which demands freedom and “space” but doesn’t necessarily return the favor. We may have a tendency to overdo or over-exert — and our expectations of ourselves and others might be way too high.
Ask yourself: What might open up if I expected 5% less of myself, just for today? What if I applied that to others too? Might my physical and mental energy levels help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now?
With this aspect, we never feel that we have enough experiences, knowledge, connections, etc. — it’s difficult knowing when to stop. If you can, pause and reflect: this will help with that feeling that you can’t get enough, no matter what you do. If we’re going to get tripped up here, it would be because we don’t know when to stop (or say no).
That said: we needn’t expect to feel tormented — in fact, this could well be a playful and humorous time, with lots of joking around (including practical jokes) smiles, and laughter. The key to this aspect is connecting the desire to be fully ourselves to our pull toward expansive yet truthful worldly explorations.
We also talked in more detail about the “Mars aspects with Jupiter, Pluto & Saturn in Capricorn”, in relationship to our own birth charts, in a previous webinar. For more info or to purchase this webinar, click here.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or Cancer ? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Sagittarius (Mars is the ruler of Aries, Jupiter of Sagittarius).
Also, Monday very early morning, a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 3:03am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday very early morning (Oct. 18th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday very early morning. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.
This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative, adjusting as needed.
When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can. Ask yourself: How neutral could I allow myself to be?
This combo could also be related to health aspect, so as best as you can, take extra care of your physical well-being and follow daily routines that support your physical energy.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Virgo or Aries? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Aries (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries).
Monday very early morning, a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 3:35am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Friday (Oct. 16th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. This aspect brings a good dose of optimism, faith and a sense of the “bigger picture” to our business relationships and daily work or wellness routines. We tend to relate to others in a positive (even inspiring) manner; as you can imagine, it is thus much easier to make social contacts.
Our outlook is more cheerful and hopeful, the atmosphere cooperative, yet grounded in reality — it’s a great time for winning people’s enthusiasm. We are more optimistic and trusting with colleagues and authority figures. We might feel an urge to do business with people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to widen our horizons.
Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don’t have to actually do anything to “cash in”.
There are indeed definitely plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with government contracts (or anything that involves public office). Educational businesses, or endeavors, the wellness industry, and the travel industry are also highlighted 😉
Ask yourself: What opportunities are opening up to me at this time? What connections might bring about expansion? What if I asked “who” as well as “how”?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn or Taurus? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Last but not least, Monday late evening, a Mercury/Uranus opposition becomes exact at 10:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Oct. 3rd on, it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Oct. 22nd). This is an unusually long time for an aspect involving Mercury (due to the planet’s current Station and Retrograde phase).
We are better off thinking outside the box for as long as this aspect is in effect. We want to change a life situation (or intimate relationship) that is out of alignment with who we now want to be.
Our minds may feel overwhelmed by what all this means, especially as it relates to our intimate relationships or financial partnerships. Stay calm, as best as you can: Sudden or rash decisions might backfire. Do your best to ground all your thinking, connect to your body, and allow yourself to fully receive any new insights.
We are very likely to feel quite nervous or anxious at this time, as we become aware of what’s not working for us anymore — and the itch to move forward and realize a new vision feels very strong. It may well be true that something needs to change — but we must take care not to rush into anything.
Think back to late April / early May of this year, when Mercury aligned with Uranus in Taurus: What was your thinking then? What seeds did you plant, related to your own individuation process, or the reinvention of your earning power? Have those seeds sprouted? Did you have an “Aha moment” since then? What still needs to change? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven’t) communicated since then… Is there room for more integration?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 12th:
Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. It will journey there until 12:56am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next 24-hours. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
Monday very early morning, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 3:06am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Sept. 15th on; it will be strong until Oct. 27th. This aspect is an opportunity to expand and ground our perspectives around our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve — to open and relax.
Indeed, we are more attuned to the subtleties of our belief structures (individually and collectively speaking), and are therefore more inclined to dissolve anything that no longer works, all the while trusting the inner guidance of our higher self.
We tend to “feel” each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is therefore recommended — as we are tapping into the collective experience, it might be wise to remember that everyone is working with the current energies as best as they can.
As such, even if some of us get overwhelmed or confronted by the Capricorn-energies out there (perhaps by facing some harsh realities and inner limitations), we all deserve some compassion, understanding, and forgiveness.
Ask yourself: How can I expand my current point of view about the collective and its limitations? What if kindness towards the world would bring peace into my life and my heart?
Creative or spiritual adventures might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may also feel the need to daydream or inspire others.
Ask yourself: What if I allowed the Universe to co-create with me? What does the term “spiritual business goals” mean to me? If such goals called to me, where might I begin an exploration? What might “imaginative business planning” look like? What might show up in my world if I spent a little time contemplating or daydreaming on those things?
As best as you can, bring compassion and kindness towards your social and long-term explorations; remember: opportunities are openings, they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius or Pisces (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Neptune rules Pisces).
Monday at 10:29am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 14.5 hours until 12:56am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to get excited about an adventure: you have an opportunity to act from the heart, and become part of something exciting.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until Monday night ahead of time.
Monday early afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Venus aspect becomes exact at 12:39pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week Friday (Oct. 9th) on; it will be strong until this Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 14th). This aspect gives us the opportunity for more direct and caring connections to others.
Through enhanced communication, we have a chance to clear up any misunderstandings or discomfort from the past. Promises and clarifications may grow from this, particularly in love relationships. It is also an opportune time to make new social contacts. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to actively take advantage of them.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Libra or Taurus (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, at 12:56am EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use. Health might also come…

Realize a New Vision — Forecast for Oct. 5th – 11th
This week’s headline items: Saturn and Pluto are still exalted (stationing) all week; on Tuesday, Mercury starts to slow down (station), getting ready for its 3-week Retrograde phase; the last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Friday evening; then on Sunday the Mercury Station intensifies — and there will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday night (for almost 9.5 hours), Wednesday late evening (almost 14 hours), and Saturday early afternoon (almost 8.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, Oct. 5th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until 12:03am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing for today? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses 😉
Monday at 2:41pm EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for almost 9.5 hours, until 12:03am EDT (Monday night/Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. Rushing will backfire right now.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon until Monday night ahead of time.
Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, at 12:03am EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Thursday early afternoon. For the next 2.5 days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way. The one thing we can do without is…
