This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Mars, Jupiter, and Chiron stay exalted all week long (aka stationing), Venus changes signs from Leo to Virgo on Monday, Jupiter comes to a halt on Tuesday; a powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse and SuperMoon in Cancer becomes exact on Thursday; we can start setting our Eclipse Intentions on Sunday — and the Mars Station ends that same day.<\/p>\nThere will be four Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for almost an hour), Tuesday afternoon (for 22 hours), Thursday late evening (for a little over 14.5 hours), and Saturday evening (for a little over 18 hours).<\/p>\n Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick thing I want to share:<\/strong> For the next two weeks only<\/strong>, you can\u00a0get a free\u00a0copy of the entire webinar<\/strong>,\u00a0plus<\/strong>\u00a0a subscription to my Monthly Forecasting Forums, all by simply signing up for my\u00a0Star<\/em><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0SuperStar Membership<\/em>\u00a0— the offer expires\u00a0July 26th<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Click here to take advantage of this deal!<\/a><\/p>\n By the way, if you’re not sure whether it’s for you, you can take it for a “test drive”<\/strong>, by watching the first 28 minutes of this 90+min. webinar here for free<\/strong>:\u00a0click here and enjoy!<\/a><\/p>\n Monday (July 9th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 12:58pm EDT<\/strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.<\/p>\n In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until 12:58pm EDT? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Monday early morning<\/strong>, a challenging Mercury\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:14am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (July 6th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday night.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in\u00a0how we communicate our joyful self-expression,\u00a0how deep we dare to go with others, and how we explore our own fears and traumas. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.<\/p>\n We want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended — and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-16 degrees of Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, <\/strong>or Aquarius<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo <\/strong>or Sagittarius<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Monday at 12:09pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that lasts for almost an hour,\u00a0until 12:58pm EDT<\/strong> (early afternoon).\u00a0Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space for connections with children or playful adults, for actively creating something, or for staying grounded in your body (preferably surrounded by and enjoyable nature and beauty).<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, 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 afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday at 12:58pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon enters chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday early afternoon<\/strong>. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way\u2026 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 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Monday late evening<\/strong>, Venus changes signs from playful, fun-loving Leo<\/strong> to detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em>. Venus will journey there\u00a0until Aug. 6th<\/strong>. For the next four weeks, our relationships are…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your \u200bMember’s \u200baccount<\/a> and keep reading!\u200b \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n GET IT ALL! Get the whole Forecast — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a site member<\/a> (\u200bstill, for the price of a \u200bcappuccino\u200b!) ;\u200b-\u200b)<\/strong><\/p>\n *** …going to be put under the magnifying glass. We are more likely to want to make our relationships work in real terms.<\/p>\n We need to feel of service to others; we love to help, especially in a practical, down to earth kind of a way. This might also be a great time to acknowledge the people in our lives who take care of those little, daily details and make our lives easier \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n On a social level, we might be more shy during this time — less confident — and most likely too busy to uphold our social commitments. On the financial side of things, we may want to invest in our health — especially around healthy daily routines — and anything that makes life run more smoothly on a practical level.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel more shy and possibly busier than usual for the next 4 weeks.\u00a0Your heart will want to be of service to others. Being healthy and having a healthy partner is important now. If you are a\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday (July 10th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday early afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday early afternoon<\/strong>,\u00a0at 1:02pm EDT,\u00a0<\/strong>Jupiter comes to a halt in 13.5 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> and slowly starting to move direct again,\u00a0after a 4-month retrograde phase; as mentioned last week,\u00a0Jupiter’s energy will be felt most strongly at this time.<\/p>\n The Jupiter retrograde gave us a chance to tap our inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility. It was a chance to learn more about how the world works from an inner understanding.\u00a0We got to choose our \u201ctrue beliefs” —\u00a0especially as they relate to our intimate partnerships, traumas from the past, and shared resources\u00a0— we learned which beliefs serve us, and which don’t.<\/p>\n This process of internal connection to our wisdom and ability to grow has been underway for the past four months. As Jupiter slowly starts to pick up speed again, it will return our focus to the outside world \u2014 a process that will be completed by July 17th.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: What’s my inner understanding of my intimate relationships? What do I believe to be true about them? If my “inner passion” had its own voice and could speak, what might it say?\u00a0How can I apply my new understandings to the outside world?<\/p>\n Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) <\/i> in 11-16 degrees of <\/i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo<\/i><\/b> or <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b> will be more affected by this station; as will those of us who have their Ascendent or Sun-sign in <\/i>Sagittarius<\/i><\/b> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n Tuesday at 4:00pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 22 hours,\u00a0until 1:59pm EDT<\/strong> (Wednesday afternoon). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.<\/p>\n 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, be compassionate and kind with yourself — and as always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, don’t\u00a0start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday early afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Also on Tuesday:\u00a0<\/strong>48 hours before and after an Eclipse, the energy downloads are at its most potent, so be kind to yourself for the next 4 days, and stay as grounded as possible, no matter what you experience. Remember: this is an opportunity to get to the next level of your evolution!\u00a0Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon\/SuperMoon, if you haven’t seen it yet<\/a> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Wednesday (July 11th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 1:59pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday early afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday <\/b>is the last day before the Solar Eclipse in<\/i> Cancer<\/i><\/b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\u00a0Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon\/SuperMoon, if you haven’t seen it yet<\/a> \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the \u201cobserver\u201d until the upgrade is complete?<\/span><\/p>\n Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to July 2000\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>(if you can \ud83d\ude42 \u2014\u00a0the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Cancer. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?<\/span><\/p>\n As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling \u2014 anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if I gave this to myself on a regular basis?<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday at 1:59pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday afternoon.<\/strong> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two days \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don’t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<\/p>\n Wednesday late evening,<\/strong> a harmonious Venus\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:26pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (July 8th) on, it will remain strong until this Saturday morning.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment — but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.<\/p>\n This is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes\u2026or at the very least, an unpredictable one \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 29 degrees of\u00a0Leo, Aries,<\/strong>\u00a0Sagittarius, <\/strong>or 0-5 degrees of Virgo, Taurus<\/strong>, or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra <\/strong>or Aquarius<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius).\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday night\/<\/strong>Thursday very early morning, a somewhat challenging Venus\/Chiron aspect<\/em> become exact at 2:08am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on, it will remain strong until Thursday night.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We may feel uneasy or insecure in our relationships — and be faced with a choice — we must develop an inner awareness if we are to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n As you can imagine, this could make social interactions somewhat awkward; as best as you can, connect with kindness towards all (including yourself \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n 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 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-4 degrees of Virgo <\/strong>or Aries<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Thursday (July 12th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Thursday early morning,<\/strong> a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact eat 3:52am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday early morning on, it will remain strong until Friday\u00a0early morning.\u00a0<\/strong>This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).<\/p>\n This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of “awkward” — and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.<\/p>\n Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What’s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?<\/p>\n Note that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense\u2026 and it doesn’t — it can’t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-17 degrees of Leo <\/strong>or Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo <\/strong>or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong>, a Sun\/Pluto opposition\u00a0becomes exact<\/em> at 6:04am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on, it will remain strong until Sunday (July 15th).\u00a0<\/strong>This opposition is all about “empowerment versus disempowerment”. On an interpersonal level, we may try to gain more control over other people, and vice versa. A balance needs to be struck between family\/home and work\/career issues.<\/p>\n This transit will test our ambitions: How well have we planned? How hard have we worked? How efficient have we become? Our energy is high now, and it needs to be directed into constructive channels.<\/p>\n If you are in a position of authority, don’t expect others to keep up with your fast pace: We may feel like driving ourselves past the breaking point, but employees or co-workers will likely rebel if we push them.<\/p>\n That said, we can use this time to gain control over our own actions; the challenge here is to understand why we do something in a particular way, rather than simply repressing traits we don’t like. We are called to bring hidden facets of our character to the surface, so we can examine and understand them, then make appropriate changes.<\/p>\n If you find yourself wanting to be “aggressive”, shoot for “assertive” instead; the first comes from fear, the second from love. And as always — as best as you can — choose love rather than fear, no matter the situation.<\/p>\n Remember: when we get attached to an outcome, it’s usually a sign that we are not trusting the flow of life; ask yourself: What if I didn’t need to choose trust because it was already freely given? What if it is already inside of me — I just need to get in touch with it? What if being flexible was part of it?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, <\/strong>or Libra?<\/strong> If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo <\/strong>or Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday at 10:48pm EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0a powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse in 20.5 degrees of\u00a0Cancer<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0becomes exact.\u00a0This is the beginning, both, of a new Moon cycle\u00a0and\u00a0a new Eclipse cycle! This is the first of three Eclipses within the next four weeks!<\/p>\n This New Moon is special in other ways, too: it’s both a Solar Eclipse (meaning it’s\u00a0in line with the Sun)\u00a0and a SuperMoon (the\u00a0Moon\u00a0is at its closest to the Earth). This increases emotionality — and fosters larger shifts in consciousness.<\/p>\n I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n The Sun and Moon, both in\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>, are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse. In this case, that would be the North Node — and\u00a0North Node Eclipses\u00a0help us to explore anew an energy that promotes Soul-evolution.<\/p>\n The Moon Nodes are usually in the same sign as an Eclipse, but there are exceptions — those times where the Moon Nodes have not yet moved into the new polarity, but the New Moon (or Full Moon) is within 15 degrees of the transiting Moon Nodes, and therefore close enough to the Lunation to create an Eclipse effect.<\/p>\n Given this, this Eclipse\u00a0provides us with the first glimpse of something that will happen on\u00a0Nov. 6th: the shift of the Moon Nodes from Leo\/Aquarius to Cancer\/Capricorn.<\/p>\n Eclipses take place approximately every 6 months;\u00a0Solar Eclipses\u00a0are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 18-19 year cycle and begin another; they\u00a0reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution, heralding shifts in consciousness.<\/p>\n The shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 2 years;\u00a0the last Solar Eclipse in\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0(and\u00a0connected to the North Node) was back on July 1st, 2000.\u00a0We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time \u2014 “resonant”, rather than identical \u2014 so think back to the summer of 2000:<\/p>\n Were there any major endings back then? New beginnings? What was important? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level\u2026 Where would that next level find you?<\/p>\n As I mentioned earlier, this will be the\u00a0first North Node Solar Eclipse in\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0since\u00a02000<\/em>, pointing to a new beginning of some sort (or a preview of what’s to come in 2019) when it comes to family, home (this could be a physical or emotional “home”) — a shift with past issues around feeling “at home” or “safe” — both internally and in the world.<\/p>\n Internally, this is about\u00a0being more rooted in our physical-emotional bodies, and also allowing ourselves to explore and celebrate the mother-archetype, both within and in the world — this would be archetypal things like giving and receiving nurturing, caring for ourselves in terms of our emotional and physical state.<\/p>\n Over the next 6 months, ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0If I were a young plant or tree, would I say I was planted in fertile ground? What else do I need to flourish and grow? What has changed in the past 5-10 years in that regard?<\/p>\n Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0is all about supporting and protecting life, but many of us are conditioned to ignore our bodies and our environment; likewise our inner life, feeling-bodies and emotional\/spiritual connection to other life forms. This creates a disconnect not only from our true selves but also from the rest of the world. Most of us tend to put little value on emotional intelligence, but it’s very hard to have meaningful, emotional connections without it — and that includes self-connection.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What might I do differently if feelings were just little children that wanted to be heard?\u00a0What price might I be paying for denying or suppressing them? Just as an experiment, could I simply allow myself to feel my feelings without needing to understand them — without needing to know why I am feeling what I am feeling, without launching into problem-solving? What would the mother-archetype do?<\/p>\n The Solar Eclipse opposes Pluto in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>:<\/em> suppressed feelings may come up in our interactions with others; at the least, we become more aware of them.\u00a0Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Where do I feel empowered? Disempowered? What doesn’t nurture me anymore? In what ways have I become disconnected from who I am out there in the world?<\/p>\n This is also an opportunity to shift and release dysfunctional emotional patterns in our lives. As best as you can, invite them into conscious awareness, surrendering your fears as you go, and keep your heart open! Remember: what once was is not what will be, unless we keep holding on to it!<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What if, just as an experiment, I imagined the best case scenarios for my future rather than the worst? What if I focused 5% more on what empowers me in the present moment? What if I borrowed that 5% from time spent dwelling on how to protect myself from past episodes of disempowerment reoccurring in my future? For more on the Sun\/Pluto opposition, feel free to read the entry above (Thursday morning at 6:04am EDT).<\/p>\n Another important facet of this Solar Eclipse: not one, but two Grand Trines!<\/em><\/p>\n Firstly, it trines Neptune in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>,\u00a0and widely trines Jupiter in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(and note that Jupiter stationed direct on\u00a0July 10th, and is therefore exalted)\u00a0—\u00a0making a Grand Water Trine<\/em> (you may remember that we experienced one of these two weeks ago, with the Full Moon in Capricorn.<\/p>\n This shows us our ability to allow for feelings to move through, and supports us further in bringing love and acceptance to our feeling body. It also helps us to release any unhealthy attachments to the past, making it easier to trust, and to allow ourselves to stretch outside of our comfort zone and invite in “the new”.<\/p>\n We also might be able to receive new support from others; so\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What if I let myself receive 5% more kindness from others? How about from myself?<\/p>\n The second Grand Trine is in the Earth signs<\/em> — it\u00a0involves Uranus in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, Saturn in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>, and Venus in\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>. This supports us in our process of physical manifestation, partly by keeping us connected to what’s real, and what works.<\/p>\n With this many planets in Water- and Earth-signs, we are definitely invited to allow what is, simply to be — to be present here and now, rather than pushing ourselves or dwelling in the past. We get extra support when it comes to listening deeply and carefully to our physical and emotional bodies.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What\u00a0if the whole Universe was intelligent, including every cell in my body? What knowledge would my body want to share?<\/p>\n Chiron in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0is now retrograde,\u00a0and still stationing<\/em>, so still exalted — as it was during the last Full Moon — so we are invited to pay even closer attention to the healing of the wounded masculine archetype within us — how we handle anger, impatience, wanting to dominate or show our “strength”, etc.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Where does the wounded masculine cry out for my compassionate awareness (or even my love)? What did my ancestors hand down to me? Could I bring 5% more love to that too? What if I did the same for those who have not been able to model the masculine energies in a wholesome way? What if I extended that even to myself, when I am one of those (perhaps when I get triggered)? Could I give myself permission to explore unusual or even unique ways to express the masculine energies out there in the world? What might a healthy channel be for that exploration?<\/p>\n For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey,\u00a0I recommend the mp3-recording of\u00a0my\u00a0Chiron-workshop: “Healing with Astrology”<\/strong>\u00a0(it’s available instantly for FREE with most Memberships, and free with the monthly Universal Membership after 3 months).\u00a0Click here\u00a0for more info<\/a><\/p>\n One last aspect I would like to mention:\u00a0Uranus will square the Moon Nodes<\/em>\u00a0until Feb. 2019<\/strong>, becoming\u00a0exact in late Oct., early November, 2018.<\/p>\n This aspect is an invitation to integrate the Uranian energy into our lives over this period of time — innovation and forward-thinking, undertaken in a grounded and realistic way, both for our lives and in connection to our planet (food production could well be part of this).<\/p>\n If you are not yet a Star<\/em> or SuperStar Member<\/em>, and you are\u00a0still hungry to learn more <\/span> about this Solar Eclipse<\/strong> (and Chiron’s Station\/Retrograde phases), you might want to purchase the video presentation of our most recent\u00a0Forecasting Forum<\/a>\u00a0— we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how it will affect each of us.<\/p>\n For the next two week only<\/strong>, you can\u00a0get a free\u00a0copy of the entire webinar<\/strong>,\u00a0plus<\/strong>\u00a0a subscription to my Monthly Forecasting Forums, all by simply signing up for my\u00a0Star<\/em><\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0SuperStar Membership<\/em>\u00a0— the offer expires\u00a0July 26th<\/strong>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Click here to take advantage of that deal!<\/a><\/p>\n By the way, if you’re not sure whether it’s for you, you can take it for a “test drive”<\/strong>, by watching the first 28 minutes of this 90+min. webinar here for free<\/strong>:\u00a0click here and enjoy!<\/a><\/p>\n A final thought for this Solar Eclipse:<\/strong> Most conflict boils down to unmet needs. When we can identify those needs, and communicate them without judgment or blame, things open up and solutions quickly appear.<\/p>\n The Sedona Method (a technique I use a lot in my coaching practice) says that human beings have very few basic “wants”: wanting approval\/acceptance\/love, safety\/security; control, separation, and oneness (move closer\/merge\/belong\/connect).<\/p>\n When you experience conflict within or with others, the following questions drawn from the Sedona Method can be\u00a0tremendously helpful —\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0In this now moment, is there any wanting approval, control or security present? Or maybe a wanting to be separate? Or wanting to be one? If the answer is yes to any of the above, could I acknowledge that, perhaps even allow it to be as it is? And just as an exercise in freedom, could I let go of wanting that, just for right now, and just as best as I can?<\/p>\n You can also\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0Is where I’m rooted helping me thrive?
