This week’s headline items: <\/strong>On Monday,\u00a0Mercury’s station phase ends and\u00a0the Balsamic Moon phase begins, Jupiter’s Station phase begins Tuesday\u00a0and intensifies on Saturday, the New Moon in Aries becomes exact Friday early morning.<\/p>\nThere will only be two Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for almost\u00a011.5 hours) and Friday late evening (for almost 11 hours).<\/p>\n Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: As a reminder to all\u00a0Star <\/strong>or\u00a0SuperStar Members<\/strong>: you will be automatically signed up for the Forums and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and a link via another email for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don’t see them in your inbox \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 10:48am EDT<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong>,<\/em> where it will journey until Wednesday late evening<\/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 Monday late morning:\u00a0<\/strong>the Balsamic Moon phase<\/em> beings when the Moon reaches 0\u00ba of\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>. This phase lasts\u00a0until late Friday very early morning\u00a0when the New Moon in\u00a0Aries\u00a0becomes exact (more on that on Friday\u2026 In the meantime,\u00a0feel free to watch my video on the subject<\/a>). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing\/intuition.<\/p>\n For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.<\/p>\n This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<\/p>\n Also, on Monday<\/strong>, Mercury<\/em> resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station<\/em> in 17 degrees of\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>. Communication and transportation is now back to \u201cnormal\u201d, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase (March 5th — 28th) can now be reviewed. What did you discover about your inner dialogue — especially when it comes to your “intuitive” or “divine” self \u2014 during that time? Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in…<\/em><\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your Member’s account<\/a> and keep reading! <\/strong><\/p>\n GET IT ALL!

We started to feel this aspect already build from March 19th on <\/strong>(due to Mercury’s Station and Retrograde phase); it will remain strong until Sunday evening (April 7th).<\/strong> This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper — if we can allow it.<\/p>\n This is the third time within six weeks that Mercury aligns with Neptune (due to its Retrograde phase);\u00a0think back to the time around Feb. 19th and March 24th, when this aspect was also exact: What intuitive messages did you receive at that time? How could you apply those messages?<\/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 14-20 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 late evening<\/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 Also on Tuesday<\/strong>, Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 24 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase<\/em>. Jupiter will come to a halt on April 10th; its station-phase last until April 16th<\/strong>. We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.<\/p>\n We start to be more fully aware of Jupiter’s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.<\/p>\n Until April 16th<\/strong>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet’s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.<\/p>\n The lower expressions of Jupiter include “Oh, the heck with it”, “I deserve this and more”, “the rules do not apply to me” — generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For all Universal Members:<\/strong> Would you like to watch the 110 min. webinar that addresses all of the above in relationship to your birth chart?There is a Special Offer<\/strong> all week long: If you sign up for the next Forecasting Forum<\/a> by April 9th<\/strong>, I will include the Jupiter Station & Retrograde webinar for FREE \ud83d\ude09 The next Forum will be live on April 19th<\/strong> and will cover the Pluto & Saturn Station and Retrograde<\/em> phases<\/em> in more detail in relationship to our own birth charts. To register <\/a>or for more info, click here<\/a><\/p>\n Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 22-26 degrees of\u00a0<\/em>Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, <\/em><\/strong>or\u00a0<\/em>Pisces\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in Sagittarius<\/strong> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the remains Moon in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> until 10:56pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday at 11:36am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for almost 11.5 hours,\u00a0until 10:56pm EDT<\/strong>.\u00a0 We are experiencing two quite different needs pulling us in different directions: on the one hand, we strongly need to connect with a compassionate heart;\u00a0on the other hand, we want to explore life and its meaning, beyond what we already know.<\/p>\n Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives. 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 Wednesday late morning until the late evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday at 10:56pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday late morning<\/strong>. The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.<\/p>\n Our gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave — and perhaps impatient and impulsive.\u00a0Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity. This Moon placement start the build up towards the New Moon (exact Friday early morning). Feel free to watch my video on that subject.<\/a><\/p>\n Wednesday late evening<\/strong>, an opportune Mars\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:39pm EDT. \u00a0We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening on, it will remain strong this Saturday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.<\/p>\n This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our physical, sexual, and spiritual wounds.As best as you can, allow yourself and others to be human while on your path to wholeness and a larger, more purposeful life. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets)\u00a0in 0-4 degrees of\u00a0Gemini, Aries, Leo<\/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\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0(Mars rules Aries).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (See Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday early morning<\/strong>, \u00a0has lots of potential\u00a0for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past in general. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identity with, and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations.<\/p>\n Also, Thursday early morning<\/strong>,\u00a0we have an opportunity to connect with others and move a project forward that is dear to us. It\u2019s time for action: What small (or even large) action steps could you take? What needs to be communicated, so you can move forward faster? Who can give you the information you need?<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong> is also the last day before the New Moon becomes exact…\u00a0This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days have passed after the New Moon.<\/p>\n Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within\u2026 Listen to the silence between the sounds\u2026 Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\u00a0Also feel free to watch my New Moon video, if you haven’t seen it yet<\/a><\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Friday early morning, at 4:50am EDT,<\/strong> the Moon aligns with the Sun in 15 degrees of<\/em> Aries<\/em><\/strong>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n The\u00a0New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, and courageous\u00a0Aries<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create over the next 28 days. This is an action-packed New Moon, with the focus on ourselves; we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint —\u00a0it’s a “do now, think later” energy.<\/p>\n Aries<\/strong>\u00a0is the first sign of the zodiac; as such, it represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground, birthing new forms. An\u00a0Aries\u00a0New Moon\u00a0is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.<\/p>\n We generally don’t know what will happen when we start something brand-new — something we have never done before — and this can stir up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear, even panic.<\/p>\n Aries<\/strong>\u00a0and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage — not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear — some call this the “Warrior Energy\u201d.<\/p>\n One of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is… to read the whole New Moon article and get access to all the Coaching questions, click here<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees of either Aries, Libra, Capricorn<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? 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<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions<\/em> for this month’s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the New Moon in Aries). Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase<\/a>.<\/p>\n So this month, we have two periods that are great times to set intentions: the first one is the roughly seventeen hours that lie between 4:50am (Friday early morning) until 10:15pm (Friday late evening)<\/strong> and again at, 9:06am (Saturday morning)<\/strong> until<\/strong> 4:50am EDT\u00a0(Sunday early morning)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my\u00a0Facebook Fanpage<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0follow me on\u00a0twitter<\/a>. I will be posting several reminders on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to let you know that it is time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Friday afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited to\u00a0make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly incompatible situations. On the one hand, we are invited to focus on building solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway. Some helpful questions you could ask yourself: What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?<\/p>\n On the other hand, we have this need to make time for personal desires and needs; here, you could ask yourself: What does my inner teenager require to be happy at this time?<\/p>\n Friday evening<\/strong>, we are also invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects…<\/p>\n Friday at 10:15pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for almost 11 hours,\u00a0until 9:06am EDT<\/strong> (Saturday late morning). Use this intuitive time to explore any “historically-based” beliefs around life and your perceptions about life: What if you took an optimistic approach towards life itself?<\/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 late evening until Saturday late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 9:06am EDT; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Monday late afternoon (April 8th)<\/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.<\/p>\n What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Saturday<\/b>\u00a0after<\/b>\u00a09:06am EDT<\/b>, and for the rest of the day: If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, set your Intentions for this Moon cycle… If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my video \u2014 feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore \u2014\u00a0click here to watch my video on the New Moon<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Saturday early afternoon<\/strong>, If possible,\u00a0connect with people that can support your projects on a practical level, and share with them what you have going on.<\/p>\n Also on Saturday, <\/strong>the\u00a0<\/em>Jupiter Station intensifies\u00a0<\/em>at 24\u00ba degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>. We will feel this intensified station phase\u00a0until April 14th.<\/strong>\u00a0We will feel its energy more forcefully during this time.<\/p>\n Jupiter is preparing to come to a halt on April 10th (getting ready to start its yearly 4-month retrograde phase). For more about the Jupiter station, I recommend you read Tuesday’s entry again.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).<\/p>\n Sunday early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:17am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening (April 9th).<\/strong> This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves. Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase in March we are experiencing this aspect for the third time already within the last six weeks.<\/p>\n This gives us a chance to re-address anything that may have come up in regards to our long-term goals. Think back to the time around Feb.19th and March 20th.<\/strong> Is there anything that came through at that time, that you may want to talk about? Is there anyone you would like to get in touch with?<\/p>\n How can we get the most from this opportunity? Through honest communication, we have a chance to clear up any misunderstandings. 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 18-22 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, 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\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n Sunday early afternoon<\/strong>:\u00a0we have an opportunity to connect with others in a gentle, compassionate way, and\u00a0enjoy a good meal, a glass of wine, a massage… think “physical pleasures”.<\/p>\n Sunday late afternoon<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/p>\n Sunday late evening<\/strong>, 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.<\/p>\n A heads up for next Monday (April 8th):<\/strong> the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> until 5:15pm EDT<\/strong> (see Saturday late morning for details). At 4:29am EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC<\/a>),\u00a0that lasts for almost 13 hours,\u00a0until 5:15pm EDT; at that time,<\/strong> the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening<\/strong>. Last but not least, Pluto starts to slow down (station)\u00a0 in 23\u00ba Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> — preparing to come to a halt on April 24th.
