This week’s headline items:<\/strong> the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday late afternoon, Mars changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday early morning, and there will be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday early evening (for a little over 11 hours), Friday morning (for a little over one hour), and Sunday late morning (for an hour).\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: <\/b>Since it is Valentine’s Day this week, I’m offering a special discount for my Compatibility\u00a0Readings<\/a>. If you are dating, or just want to see how compatible you might be with someone else, this is the perfect reading for you. See how two people\u2019s energies match with each other — how well does communication flow, what are the challenges, and what is most supported. This reading is great for seeing how you match up with family members, friend, colleague, as well as someone you just met (romantic possibility), or someone you are dating (romantic relationship, but not living together).\u00a0For this week only<\/strong>, get a 40% discount! Use the discount code: 40%OFF <\/strong>at check out.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>. It will journey there\u00a0until Wednesday early morning<\/strong>. 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.\u00a0What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.<\/p>\n Monday afternoon:<\/strong>\u00a0we have\u00a0the ability to comfortably accomplish things that are aligned with our values, coupled with a nice feeling of ease — rushing is not required or expected of us right now. We are also feeling quite grounded in our connections with others and can be quite “real” with them without causing offense.<\/p>\n Monday night\/<\/strong>Tuesday very early morning, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach…\u00a0if you happen to be awake at that time, of course…<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in…<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

Rushing will backfire right now.<\/p>\n Tuesday late morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments… We may want to enjoy some luxurious pleasures, while feeling at the same time a desire to have an adventure of the mind and soul.<\/p>\n Tuesday early-mid afternoon<\/strong>, we get a chance to empower each other around our long-term goals, by keeping things down to earth and enjoyable.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 5:26pm EST<\/strong>, the first Quarter Moon in\u00a0almost 24 degrees of Taurus<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0will\u00a0become exact (we started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus last week Sunday<\/strong>).\u00a0The<\/em> Moon, in\u00a0steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>,\u00a0makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in\u00a0freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n We feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place last Monday (Feb. 4th);<\/strong> “seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making 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, take it one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible and find creative solutions in your day-to-day dealings with others.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 22-26 degrees of\u00a0Taurus, Aquarius, Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/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\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Also, Tuesday at 5:26pm EST<\/strong>, just as the first Quarter Moon becomes exact, we enter a \u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that last for a little over 11 hours,\u00a0until 4:32am EST (Wednesday early morning)<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<\/p>\n Make space for physical enjoyment and beauty, for connections with like-minded people, and for visualizing a better future. 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 late afternoon until Wednesday early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 4:32am EST<\/strong> (see Monday and Tuesday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday very early morning<\/strong>, a Mars\/Uranus alignment in almost 29 degrees of Aries<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 1:21am EST. We started to feel this alignment from last week, Friday evening (Feb. 8th) on; it will be strong\u00a0until this Saturday evening (Feb. 16th)<\/strong>. This connection brings a lot of nervous energy with it: we will most likely feel sudden spurts of energy moving through our bodies; this could make us rash in thought and deed. We may experience sudden insights about ourselves and our goals.<\/p>\n Please be extra conscious when driving. Do your best to channel the extra energy in a productive way: physical exercise is great for this, as is consciously breaking away from situations that have limited you — up until now. And (this is always wise)… As best as you can, stay grounded and keep breathing \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n \u2028\u2028Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn<\/strong> or 0-2 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio<\/strong>,\u00a0Leo, <\/strong>or Aquarius<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to meet our need for stability and pleasure, by combining physical pleasure with a spiritual (or more holistic) approach — for example, by scheduling an energetic healing practice for ourselves (something like Reiki or a holistic massage would be perfect).<\/p>\n Wednesday at 4:32am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>,<\/strong> where it will journey until Friday late morning<\/strong>. For the next three 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…<\/p>\n 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 Since Mercury is coming to a halt today as well, we might have some challenges connecting and communicating with others. As best as you can, be patient with yourself and others.<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon:<\/strong>\u00a0we are required to make some adjustments — and may need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to our inner or emotional understanding of things. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).\u00a0Happy Valentine’s Day!\u200b <3<\/p>\n Thursday at 5:51am EST<\/strong>, Mars moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries<\/strong> into steady, sensual Taurus<\/strong><\/em>, where he will journey until March 31st<\/strong>. With this placement we value security, solidity, stability. We become especially fond of our personal possessions.<\/p>\n We are not afraid to work for what we want — this position of Mars brings patience: If it takes a while to achieve our goals, so be it (we also tend to be more reliable).\u00a0On the other hand, adaptability is not our strong point right now, and we also don’t like to be rushed.<\/p>\n All this is especially true if you are an Aries<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus<\/strong>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual for the next 6 weeks. As an Aries<\/strong>, you will slow down a little and get more in touch with the practical side of your nature, especially where your personal goals are concerned.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday late morning<\/strong>, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward being responsible and building something that will last long-term.<\/p>\n Thursday afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited\u00a0to balance our desire for sharing and gathering information with our desire to go beyond learned knowledge and tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.<\/p>\n Thursday evening<\/strong>, feels a little uneasy. Again, we need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire for accomplishment,\u00a0on the other, our need to make connections and exchange information.<\/p>\n We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.<\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 9:03am EST<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).<\/p>\n Friday at 7:48am EST<\/strong>, we enter a \u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that last for a little over an hour,\u00a0until 9:03am EST<\/strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.<\/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 ahead of time.<\/p>\n Friday at 9:03am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Sunday late morning<\/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.\u00a0Self-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 glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.<\/p>\n Friday late morning<\/strong>\u00a0brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and take actions around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to take action on those financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday late morning for details).<\/p>\n Saturday late morning<\/strong>:\u00a0our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged; we are invited to balance our need for something familiar against our need for worldly success and status. As best as you can, get in touch with what you truly want and need: Is it the world’s approval or an authentic emotional self-connection?<\/p>\n Also, on Saturday late morning<\/strong>, we are in a state of \u201cflow\u201d and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.<\/p>\n Saturday early afternoon<\/strong>, we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others.\u00a0This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to\u00a0stay grounded in reality.<\/p>\n Saturday early evening<\/strong>,\u00a0requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to expand our horizons and learn more about life, other cultures, religions, etc. \u2014 and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.<\/p>\n Saturday late evening<\/strong>, we may take an all-or-nothing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care \u2014 take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> until 10:21am EST<\/strong> (see Friday late morning for details).<\/p>\n Sunday very early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:44am EST. We started to feel this aspect from\u00a0Friday (Feb.15th) on; it will remain strong until Monday night (Feb. 18th).<\/strong> This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social and work-related interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others.<\/p>\n We tend to “feel” each other on an energetic level now, a sensitive approach is therefore recommended. This is also an opportunity for imaginative or romantic interactions. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren’t necessarily handed to us — we have to “take” them and make something of them.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-18 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Sunday at 9:17am EST<\/strong>, we enter a \u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that last for an hour,\u00a0until 10:21am EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations.\u00a0Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<\/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 late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Sunday at 10:21am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Tuesday late morning<\/strong>. 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 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half 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?<\/p>\n A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 18th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). In the early morning<\/strong>, a opportune Sun \/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:55am EST, we started to feel this aspect from this Friday evening (Feb. 15th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening (Feb. 19th).<\/strong><\/p>\n At 4:10am EST<\/strong>, Chiron changes signs from Pisces<\/strong> to Aries<\/strong><\/em>, until June 2026<\/strong>. Monday morning,<\/strong> a Venus\/Saturn alignment in almost 17 degrees of Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 5:52am EST, we started to feel this aspect from Friday Feb. 15th on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening (Feb. 20th).<\/strong> And, in the early evening, at 6:04pm EST,<\/strong> the Sun changes signs from Aquarius<\/strong> to Pisces<\/strong><\/em>, until March 20th<\/strong>. More about the details in next week\u2019s forecast. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Join me for my next FORECASTING FORUM Wednesday, Feb. 20th at<\/strong>\u00a01pm PST\/4pm EST<\/strong>\/9pm GMT (London-time).\u00a0Please note\u00a0that<\/strong> we\u2019ll talk about the first Mercury Retrograde phase<\/em> of the year which starts March 5th, in Pisces<\/strong>!
