This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries early Monday morning; in the early evening, the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces. Late Tuesday morning, the Full Moon in Virgo becomes exact, and Mercury enters its Shadow phase.<\/b><\/p>\nThere will also be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday morning (for an hour), Wednesday late evening (for 12.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for 45 minutes).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a few quick announcement: If you want to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0sign up for the mp4-video presentation<\/strong>.\u00a0Other than\u00a0booking a reading<\/a>\u00a0with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s\u00a0only $37<\/a>\u00a0for the 90+ minute webinar (plus, it also includes this month’s Full Moon video, for anyone who is not yet a Member of my online community).<\/p>\n To join for FREE every month,\u00a0become a Star or SuperStar Member<\/a>\u00a0on my site.\u00a0To register for this month only, click here .<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u00a0would like to join live,<\/strong>\u00a0please keep in mind that\u00a0registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after\u00a03pm EST\u00a0on Wednesday<\/strong> you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.\u00a0If you are a\u00a0Star\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0SuperStar Member\u00a0<\/strong>already,<\/strong> please check your email on the day of the webinar!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>. It will journey there until Tuesday late morning<\/strong>. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.<\/p>\n We all love to be admired and — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… \ud83d\ude42 So if you can, hand out some compliments, let people in your life know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart with this and all other things: be honest, authentic.<\/p>\n 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 day. 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 Monday early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Sun\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (Feb. 15th) on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday evening (Feb. 19th).<\/strong> We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store — certainly unexpected ones \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n What is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to “realize” it.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 27-29 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius<\/strong> or 0-1 degree of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer<\/strong>, or Capricorn<\/strong> ? 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 Leo<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)<\/em><\/p>\n On Monday\u00a0at 4:10am EST<\/strong>, Chiron re-enters\u00a0fast-paced, enthusiastic Aries<\/strong><\/em>, where it\u00a0will journey\u00a0until June 2026 <\/strong>(when it will enter Taurus for a brief time) And then retrograde back into Aries\u00a0in Sept. 2026 until April 2027.<\/strong>\u00a0Check to see if you are maybe revisiting themes that came up around\u00a0late April\u00a0of last year<\/strong>, when Chiron entered\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0for the first time.<\/p>\n What is the significance of Chiron? It’s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the “Wounded Healer”, it reminds us of our humanity — and guides us to see it as a gift.<\/p>\n When we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as “wrong” or “bad”, our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully. If you are already a Member of my online community,\u00a0feel free to read the whole article about Chiron in Aries<\/strong> here<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in Aries, Libra, Capricorn<\/strong>, or\u00a0Cancer?<\/strong>\u00a0If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 8 years. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong>, since Chiron will move through this sign for the next 8 years.<\/em><\/p>\n 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 last week Friday (Feb. 15th) on; it will remain strong until\u00a0this Wednesday evening (Feb. 20th).<\/strong> This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationships and the things we most value. Relationships feel stable and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.<\/p>\n We experience a new sense of realism in existing partnerships. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to a “cause” or long-term goal.<\/p>\n We are ready to face any problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet — and they will likely surface. Renewed ties to old friends, business partners or lovers are possible, as is a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships. This is not the best time to start a brand-new relationship.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 14-20 degrees of of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer<\/strong>, or Libra<\/strong>? 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\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n And, Monday early evening, at 6:04pm EST<\/strong>, the Sun changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking and objective Aquarius<\/strong> to dreamy,\u00a0<\/em>creative, compassionate,\u00a0<\/em>Pisces<\/strong><\/em>, until March 20th<\/strong>.\u00a0This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us.<\/p>\n We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.<\/p>\n Music or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations.\u00a0 We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully — if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.<\/p>\n The keyword here is “allowing”: as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space — allow it to be as it is. In addition, notice when you are experiencing someone else’s feelings rather than your own. Ask yourself: Is this mine or someone else’s?<\/p>\n All this is especially true if you are a Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Pisces<\/strong>, you will feel \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your Member’s account<\/a> and keep reading! <\/strong><\/p>\n GET IT ALL! Get the whole Forecast — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a site member<\/a> (still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n *** …a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo<\/strong> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>until 9:47am EST<\/strong> (see Monday for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday very early morning<\/strong>, a Mercury\/Neptune alignment in 15.5 degrees of Pisces<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 1:37am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening (Feb.16th) on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening.<\/strong> This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper — if we can allow it.<\/p>\n Spiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time — especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and — just for now — let go of wanting to figure it all out.<\/p>\n The highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.<\/p>\n Check in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow \ud83d\ude09 On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-19 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday at 8:51am EST,<\/strong> we enter a \u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that last for an hour,\u00a0until 9:47am EST<\/strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy \u2014 explore, take a risk.<\/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 morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 9:45am EST, <\/strong>Mercury enters its Shadow phase when it reaches 16 degrees and 07 minutes of Pisces<\/strong>;<\/em>\u00a0this is 3 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on March 5th). It will remain in this intuitive sign\u00a0until April 17th.<\/strong><\/p>\n What is the Shadow phase? The period immediately before and after a planet\u2019s retrograde phase is referred to as the \u201cshadow phase\u201d; at these times, the planet travels once more through the degrees of a sign that it had already passed through before and during its Retrograde phase.\u00a0Mercury is usually in its shadow for about three weeks prior to a retrograde, and for almost four weeks after.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We will talk in more detail about Mercury’s Shadow, Station, and Retrograde phases in our next Forum on Feb. 20th!

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.<\/p>\n 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 also starts the build up towards the\u00a0Full Moon\u00a0(exact at 10:54am EST).<\/p>\n As mentioned above, the Moon\u2019s entrance\u00a0into\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0earlier today\u00a0started\u00a0the energetic build up towards the\u00a0Full Moon that\u00a0will be “exact” today\u00a0(Tuesday<\/strong>) at 10:54am EST<\/strong>\u00a0in almost 1 degrees of\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n A Full Moon<\/em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun; during these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like\u00a0polar opposites — very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others, so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons.\u00a0Feel free to also watch my video for more<\/a><\/p>\n The Moon in\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0opposes the Sun in\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>.<\/em>\u00a0If you are already familiar with this polarity, feel free to skip ahead to the aspects involved in this Full Moon chart…<\/p>\n Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0seeks personal wholeness;\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0reminds us of an even greater wholeness \u2014 our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.<\/p>\n Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0benefits from apprenticeship, whereas\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0learns to trust inner guidance above all else — when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves.<\/p>\n Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0analyzes,\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0feels: We are invited to discern what’s real, so we can make healthier choices.<\/p>\n To find the\u00a0balance between\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Pisces… <\/strong>read the whole Full Moon article here, and get all your Full Moon Coaching Questions!<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 0-3 degrees of\u00a0Virgo, Pisces, Gemini,\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong> or 28-29 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus<\/strong>, or Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, this month’s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday late evening<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:39pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.<\/strong> This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.<\/p>\n How can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.<\/p>\n If we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, 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.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 15-19 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

That said, if you can achieve that balance, it\u2019s a great day for being of service.<\/p>\n Wednesday early afternoon<\/strong>, we are more capable than normal of looking at the details, and focusing on what’s sitting right in front of us that demands to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of accomplishment. We are invited to look at all the practical implications; we need to slow down and take our time if we are to manifest something that can stand the test of time — rushing things will most likely backfire right now.<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>,\u00a0we seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition; if you can achieve that balance, it\u2019s a great day for connecting with others and being of service. We may also want to talk to our pets or engage in more spiritual conversations that can also support our physical well-being.<\/p>\n Wednesday evening<\/strong>,\u00a0we are being asked to stretch and grow —\u00a0to undertake a process of belief-adjustment. 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.<\/p>\n Wednesday at 8:52pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a \u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that last for 12.5 hours,\u00a0until 9:17am EST (Thursday late morning).\u00a0<\/strong>Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.<\/p>\n
