This week’s headline items: <\/strong>the first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday afternoon. There will also be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for almost 10 hours), Friday morning (almost 8 hours), and Sunday evening (a little over 7 hours).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: <\/b> To join for FREE every month, become a Star or SuperStar Member<\/a> on my site.\u00a0To register for this month only, click here<\/a>\u00a0(if you are not<\/em> a Member yet, registration also includes this month’s Members-Only Full Moon video)<\/p>\n Monday (Oct. 15th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day.<\/strong>\u00a0It will journey there\u00a0until Wednesday very early morning<\/strong>. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn<\/strong>; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master until the end of 2020. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Since Sunday afternoon (Oct. 14th), this Moon placement started the energetic build up toward the first Quarter Moon<\/em> (exact Tuesday afternoon).<\/p>\n Monday morning,<\/strong>\u00a0we have the opportunity to make meaningful connections that could support our long-term goals.<\/p>\n Monday late afternoon<\/strong>, a Mercury\/Venus alignmen<\/em>t in almost 8 degrees of Scorpio<\/strong> <\/em>becomes exact at 4:21pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Oct. 13th on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday (Oct. 17th).\u00a0<\/strong>This is an excellent time to share about deep transformative or shamanistic experiences, intimate connections with others, financial partnerships, our deeper motivations or our unconscious minds — or anything we feel deeply passionate about — and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.<\/p>\n This alignment supports communicating from a deeply passionate heart — and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, emotional honesty, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time — and want to be around people who share this passion.<\/p>\n We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word — literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations — especially when these words speak of something deep (or psychologically intriguing).<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Libra<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0 (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).<\/p>\n Monday evening<\/strong>,\u00a0we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/p>\n Tuesday (Oct. 16th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon, at 2:02pm EDT<\/strong>, the first Quarter Moon in 23 degrees of Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to feel this from the moment the Moon entered Capricorn, last week Sunday (Oct. 14th).<\/strong> The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in balance-seeking, relationship-oriented Libra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We feel compelled to take action. Last week, on Oct. 8th, the New Moon in Libra<\/strong> became exact:\u00a0“Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum.\u00a0We may feel anxious or unusually busy.<\/p>\n As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-25 degrees of\u00a0\u00a0Capricorn, Libra, Aries<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday early evening, at 5:49pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that last for almost 10 hours, until 3:36am EDT <\/strong>(Wednesday very early morning).\u00a0Use this intuitive time to take a look at your long-term goals and explore whether they feel empowering to you. How might all of this fit, when it comes to expanding intimate connections with others?<\/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 Tuesday early evening until Wednesday very early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday (Oct. 17th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a>, until 3:36am EDT<\/strong> (see Monday and Tuesday early evening for details). At that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday afternoon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.<\/p>\n Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space \ud83d\ude42 Personal freedom becomes paramount.<\/p>\n Early Wednesday morning\u00a0<\/strong>we may become aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for progress and for connection with like-minded people — and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against traditional values, thereby being more true to ourselves. As best as you can, take some breaks, and “let your freak flag fly” — just for a moment — and revel in it!<\/p>\n Wednesday evening: <\/strong>time to make some adjustments. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause; or for deeper emotional bonds with others.<\/p>\n Thursday (Oct. 18th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).<\/p>\n Thursday early morning:<\/strong> we may feel pulled in two quite different directions:\u00a0On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to communicate or share ourselves on a much deeper, emotional level with others — from a place of passion and empowerment.<\/p>\n We may thus have to address our fears and \u201cissues\u201d; as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.<\/p>\n Thursday morning\u00a0<\/strong>is the perfect time to connect with like-minded people and take some actions we’ve been meaning to take for a while, in connection with a dream or a vision that we share with others. What urges to be addressed?<\/p>\n Friday (Oct. 19th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0until 4:20pm EDT<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).<\/p>\n Friday morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:47am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect supports imaginative thinking and the ability to connect our day-to-day mind with our intuition.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Do you have any of your personal planets or Ascendent in 11-17 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>, or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday at 8:27am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that last for almost 8 hours, until 4:20pm EDT<\/strong>.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to enjoy your day as much as you can — you have plenty of mental energy, so use it to connect with others and share about your vision for the future!<\/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 Friday morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Friday early afternoon<\/strong>, a challenging Mercury\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:23pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Oct. 22nd).\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.<\/p>\n As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others — a win-win — otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers\u2026 rushing might not necessarily get you there faster \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of\u00a0Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo<\/strong>, or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Aries<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)<\/em><\/p>\n Friday at 4:20pm EDT,<\/strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Monday very early morning (Oct. 22nd).<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Saturday (Oct. 20th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Saturday morning:\u00a0<\/strong>has a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you and others.<\/p>\n Saturday evening:\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/p>\n Saturday night\/<\/strong>Sunday very early morning:\u00a0<\/strong>we feel at ease when connecting with others and sharing ourselves. Trusting others is going to be easier at this time, so say what you have to say — and be compassionate with yourself and others in the process.<\/p>\n Sunday (Oct. 21st):<\/strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Sunday morning<\/strong>, 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 to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.<\/p>\n Sunday at 7:47pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a>, that last for a little over 7 hours, until 2:58am EDT<\/strong> (Monday very early morning).\u00a0Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could an optimistic approach towards the past allow for a new perspective?<\/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 Sunday evening until Monday very early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Sunday night\/<\/strong>Monday very early morning, is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or “imperfect”.<\/p>\n A heads up for next Monday (Oct. 22nd):<\/strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a>, until 2:58am EDT<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong> the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong>,<\/em> where it will journey until Wednesday late morning<\/strong>. In the early morning,<\/strong> a somewhat challenging Sun\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT; we started to feel this aspect build from Sunday Oct. 21st on, it will remain strong until Monday night (Oct. 22nd).<\/strong> Also, in the afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:14pm EDT; we started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (Oct. 20th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (Oct. 23rd).<\/strong> More about the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Join me for my next FORECASTING FORUM on Wednesday, Oct. 24th at<\/strong> 2pm PDT\/5pm EDT<\/strong>\/10pm BST (London-time).
