This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Pluto starts to slow down (station) on Monday, it’s time to start taking actions on the New Moon Intentions from Wednesday morning on, and on Wednesday afternoon, Jupiter comes to a halt and begins its 4-month Retrograde phase. The first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Friday evening, and Saturn starts its Station phase on Sunday.<\/p>\nThere will be four Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday early morning (for almost 13 hours), Wednesday early afternoon (for 10 hours), Friday evening (for a little over 8 hours) and Sunday late evening (for a little over 8.5 hours).<\/p>\n Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: Next week’s\u00a0Forum is live on April 19th<\/strong>\u00a0and we’ll cover the\u00a0Pluto & Saturn Station and Retrograde\u00a0phases<\/strong>\u00a0in more detail in relationship to our own birth charts.\u00a0To register\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>or\u00a0for more info, click here<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>(included: mp4-video presentation of live event and access to the next Members-Only Full Moon video)<\/p>\n As a reminder to all\u00a0Star\u00a0<\/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 on the day of the webinar \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> until 5:15pm EDT<\/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. What is our favorite thing for the rest of today? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Monday at 4:29am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for almost 13 hours,\u00a0until 5:15pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.<\/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 morning until the late afternoon\/early evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday 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 Monday at 5:15pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening<\/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…<\/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\u00a0As best as you can, be patient with yourself and others.<\/p>\n Monday late evening<\/strong>, \u00a0consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections?<\/p>\n Last but not least, also on\u00a0Monday<\/strong>, Pluto starts to slow down (station) at 23\u00ba Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> — preparing to come to a halt on April 24th.\u00a0<\/strong>This station will last\u00a0until May 8th<\/strong>. When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us — and this can sometimes cause\u00a0discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort and observe what comes up.<\/p>\n Pluto is associated with our Soul Purpose. It relates to the process of\u00a0empowerment — our ability to\u00a0feel\u00a0empowered\u00a0from within, through the experience of wholeness — and to our deepest passions.<\/p>\n It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or “death” into “rebirth”. Those terms don’t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.<\/p>\n To get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new — something fully aligned with our deepest passions and Soul Purpose.<\/p>\n When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

Get the whole Forecast — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — click here to become a site member<\/a> (still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n *** ….suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity — and\u00a0feel\u00a0a newness and\u00a0empowerment\u00a0from within.<\/p>\n As best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is “in your face”\u00a0for the next 3.5 weeks<\/strong>.\u00a0Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your Soul’s Purpose (your deep authentic Self).<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/strong>: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling\u00a0fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul Purpose? How would it\u00a0feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.<\/p>\n We will also address the Pluto station, in relationship to our own birth charts, in my upcoming Forecasting Forum (go all the way to the top or the bottom for more details or<\/em> click here\u00a0<\/a>\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-25 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn, Aries, Cancer<\/strong> or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will\u00a0feel\u00a0this station more strongly.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday early morning<\/strong>, for those of us who are already awake during that time,\u00a0we feel enthusiastic and social, and seek connection on a mental level.\u00a0This is a good time to study something new online, talk to someone about a new project, or read a new book while exercising \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n If you happen to be in a vehicle, driving, between 2:30 – 6:30am EDT<\/strong>, slow down — safer is better than sooner, if you have to choose \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Tuesday night<\/strong>\/Wednesday very early morning, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space for connecting to the divine within, for intuitive or creative connections to others, or for taking care of your mental\/rational needs: writing, sharing, learning, teaching, chatting, etc.<\/p>\n Also, on\u00a0Tuesday night<\/strong>\/Wednesday very early morning, we are, once again, required to make some adjustments — and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.<\/p>\n Also, Tuesday night\/<\/strong>Wednesday very early morning, a Venus\/Neptune alignment in 17 degrees of Pisces<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 2:13am EDT. We started to feel this aspect on last week, Sunday (April 7th) on; it will be strong until this Saturday morning (April 13th).<\/strong> It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.<\/p>\n We are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to “what is”, in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true — whether that’s in connection with people or money — it might indeed be “too good to be true” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n On a more positive note, this combination also makes it easier for us to forgive others and ourselves — we can see the divine potential in others and\u00a0therefore\u00a0lean towards a compassionate approach.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-21 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/strong>, or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus<\/strong>,\u00a0Libra, <\/strong>or Pisces<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; and Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)<\/em>.<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 11:31pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, a challenging Sun\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:47am EDT. We started feeling this aspect from last week, Sunday (April 7th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 13th).<\/strong> We’re asked to stretch and grow beyond what we have previously known ourselves to be;\u00a0our commitments and responsibilities towards our personal goals are calling us to get out of our comfort zone.<\/p>\n Find creative ways to honor both your passions and immediate goals, and\u00a0your desire to focus on your long-term achievements; allow for a direct approach even if life puts up roadblocks or throws some curveballs.<\/p>\n What if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up?\u00a0Would you rather have old structures in place, or a more direct approach to achieving things? Would you rather achieve status or be authentically yourself?<\/p>\n What if you just decided to bring maturity and self-responsibility to the table when going after personal desires and goals, no matter what?\u00a0Where do you need more courage?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday morning, after 6am EDT<\/strong>, it’s time to take actions on our New Moon intentions<\/em>: if you set Intentions Friday, Saturday or Sunday of last week, — after the New Moon became exact — today (Wednesday<\/strong>) will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn\u2019t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon, at 1:01pm EDT<\/strong>, Jupiter comes to a halt at 24 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes — they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again).<\/p>\n Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts until August 11th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Universal Members:<\/strong> Would you like to watch the 110 min. webinar that addresses all of the above in relationship to your birth chart? I have a\u00a0Special Offer<\/strong>\u00a0until April 10th at midnight<\/strong>: sign up for next week’s Forecasting Forum<\/a>, and I will include the Jupiter Station & Retrograde webinar for FREE \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Next week’s Forum will be live on April 19th<\/strong>\u00a0and we’ll cover the\u00a0Pluto & Saturn Station and Retrograde phases<\/em>\u00a0in more detail in relationship to our own birth charts.\u00a0To register\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>or\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0for more info, click here\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>(includes: access to the mp4-video presentation of the live event)<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-26 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendent or Sun-sign in Sagittarius<\/strong> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 1:27pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for 10 hours,\u00a0until 11:31pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your need for verbal interactions or mental stimulation with your desire for adventure and going beyond what you know (i.e. spiritual and mental expansion).<\/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 Wednesday early afternoon until the late evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday early evening<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will be strong\u00a0until Friday evening.<\/strong> This aspect is an opportunity to bring compassion and creativity to areas of our lives that need restructuring or rebuilding.<\/p>\n It’s also an opportunity to soften our obsessive focus on manifesting something real.\u00a0Remember: opportunities aren’t on “automatic”… we have to realize them.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) in 21-25 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 11:31pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday early morning<\/strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say to (and about) us, so be kind to yourself and others. Emotional safety is important to us at this time: We like connecting to the familiar, home or family becomes our sanctuary.<\/p>\n Nurture yourself and others, but remember: Make sure your glass is filled before letting others drink from it \u2014 otherwise we might start resenting others for draining our energies. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact Friday afternoon).<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday very early morning<\/strong>\u00a0brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security.<\/p>\n Thursday early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations.\u00a0Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<\/p>\n Thursday night<\/strong>\/Friday very early morning, a challenging Mercury\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 12:18am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will be strong\u00a0until Sunday evening.<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect\u00a0asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate, think and what or how we share.<\/p>\n We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.”Listening” might not be our strong suit at this time:\u00a0we want to share our ideas, dreams and\/or spiritual beliefs without limitations, and are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended. We might also feel scattered and have a hard time putting our ideas into practice. 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 21-27 degrees of Pisces, Sagittarius, Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/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).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Friday late morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:08am EDT. We started to feel this from Wednesday evening and it will stay strong until Saturday night.<\/strong> This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them. We have a chance to combine compassion and gentleness with realism and maturity.<\/p>\n On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There’s no need to rush anything — instead,\u00a0tune into your intuitive side and\u00a0think things through carefully and responsibly — do your “due diligence” and stay open-hearted. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to “take” it.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/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 Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday afternoon, at 3:06pm EDT<\/strong>, the first Quarter Moon in 22.5 degrees of Cancer<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to\u00a0feel\u00a0this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Cancer on Wednesday late evening.<\/strong>\u00a0The Moon in\u00a0protective, introverted\u00a0Cancer<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in\u00a0bold, fast-paced\u00a0Aries<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n We\u00a0feel\u00a0compelled to take action. The New Moon took place less than a week ago, Friday\u00a0(April 5th)<\/strong>; any projects or initiatives begun around then are probably off the ground by now — and facing their first obstacles. This aspect provides a time to stretch and grow, thereby creating some forward momentum.<\/p>\n We may feel\u00a0anxious or unusually busy: As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible, and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-25 degrees of\u00a0Cancer, Aries, Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel\u00a0the 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\u00a0<\/strong>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday at 7:33pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for a little over 8 hours,\u00a0until 3:50am EDT (Saturday early morning)<\/strong>. This is an intuitive time; use it to share about otherworldly experiences or creative endeavors, and support each other in a loving and nurturing way.<\/p>\n
