This week’s headline items:<\/strong> the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday very early morning, Neptune\u2019s Station phase intensifies on Tuesday evening,\u00a0and the 2nd Jupiter\/Neptune Square of the year in Sagittarius\/Pisces becomes exact on Sunday late morning.<\/p>\nThere will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Monday morning (for 12.5 hours), Wednesday late morning (almost 13 hours), and Friday afternoon (a little over 13 hours).<\/p>\n
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement: If you are not yet, a Star <\/em>or SuperStar Member<\/em>, please register here<\/a>\u00a0(registration also includes access to the next Full Moon video).<\/p>\n We will look directly at our own birth charts to see how the Chiron Station<\/strong> in 4-5\u00ba of Aries<\/strong>: late June – late July, and the second Mercury Retrograde phase<\/strong> of the year, will impact each of us. We will address questions like these for the upcoming transits:<\/p>\n What is coming into your awareness in regards to your inner wounded child? What triggers you? How do you deal with those triggers? How is your communication affected? Are you able to express your creative juices?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in Virgo<\/strong><\/em> until 8:29pm EDT<\/strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. 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.<\/p>\n Monday at 1:59am EDT,<\/strong> the first Quarter Moon in 19 degrees of Virgo<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Virgo last week Saturday (June 8th)<\/strong>.The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful and practical Virgo<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun<\/strong> in chatty, fast-thinking and busy Gemini<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon, on June 3rd. “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, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), 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 17-21 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/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 Monday early morning<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Sun\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:04am EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday early morning (June 9th) on, it will remain strong until late tonight (Monday)<\/strong>.\u00a0This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel\u00a0uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n Our focus is drawn to the truth of the matter, but we could be pulled away by doubts and impatience, or by “accepting” responsibilities that aren’t ours (while ignoring the ones that are). We work hard but aren’t always recognized or compensated as we’d like and therefore sometimes run out of steam before our work is complete. Our life works best when we learn to take care of our most important responsibilities first.<\/p>\n As best you can, slow down, but don\u2019t come to a halt: Just because you’re not sure about something, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth taking a longer look — in other words, don\u2019t impatiently discard things when you\u2019re unsure what to do about them.\u00a0Ask yourself: How might I share my thoughts in a self-responsible way? What might I see if I slowed down? What might I notice if I took a longer-term view? How might curiosity and an open mind support my long-term goals?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a018-20\u00a0degrees of\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/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 is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n Monday at 8:01am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for 12.5 hours,\u00a0until 8:29pm EDT<\/strong>.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.<\/span><\/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 morning until the evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday late morning<\/strong>, a Sun\/Jupiter opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 11:28am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (June 7th) on; it will be strong\u00a0until this Thursday (June 13th).<\/strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about life and enjoy the optimism.<\/p>\n The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach; hasty actions might backfire. As best as you can, don\u2019t push the decision-making process… just trust to the divine timing of things. Projects or ambitions may reach a culmination point or see a surprising changes. Ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? What if just I trusted this process?<\/p>\n Think back to Nov. 26th, 2018<\/strong>, when the Sun last aligned (conjunct) with Jupiter in Sagittarius,\u00a0<\/strong>and ask yourself:\u00a0What was started then? What seeds did I plant, related to going beyond conditioned attitudes, or expanding my perspective about life? Have those seeds sprouted since then?\u00a0What’s my attitude now?\u00a0<\/span>What still needs to change?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-23 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong>? If so,\u00a0you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Monday at 8:29pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday night<\/strong>\/Thursday very early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon wants to maintain equal relationships: we thus tend to spend more time on diplomacy — making compromises, negotiating, practicing graciousness, balancing, etc.\u00a0We can better set aside our emotions, to achieve the peace we desire; the shadow side of this is a tendency to…<\/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 *** Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday evening for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday early morning<\/strong>, calls for some inner adjustments, as we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, we want to innovate in the area of our values (and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs); on the other hand, we feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them (and perhaps collaborating).<\/p>\n Tuesday morning,<\/strong> we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies — on the one hand, taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world — and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?<\/p>\n Also, on Tuesday<\/strong>, Neptune’s station phase intensifies<\/em>\u00a0— and will appear to move even more slowly through the sky\u00a0until July 4th<\/strong>. It is getting ready to come to a halt and start it’s 5-month retrograde phase on June 21st.<\/p>\n A planet’s energies are more exalted during it’s “station period”; this has even more weight for an outer planet, as they move more slowly and their stations last much longer. This Neptune station is particularly strong, since it occurs in Pisces<\/strong>, its own sign.<\/p>\n Neptune represents things like “universal love”, our inner divinity (intuitiveness), spirituality, inspiration, compassion, faith — plus creative and imaginative realms such as music or film — while the shadow side is confusion, illusion and escapism of all kinds. We start to be aware of all those energies more fully in our lives.<\/p>\n This awareness helps us to connect more fully to those energies as they exist within us. We can then see where we need to either embrace them more fully, or connect to them in a healthy way, that doesn’t involve getting lost in the murky lower, or denser vibrations of their expression.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that you may also feel more sensitive, or tired, and even want to escape reality for a while. As best as you can, allow yourself to focus on the higher, lighter vibrations of\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you missed our Forecasting Forum about the Neptune Station phase, feel free to\u00a0get the 115min. webinar here.\u00a0Star\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0SuperStar Members<\/em>, please check your emails for the mp4-video recording of the webinar (sent on May 21st): Lots of juicy questions, and exploration of our charts in relationship to the Neptune Station phase.<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with a\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets and points in 16-21 degrees of\u00a0Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0all day<\/strong>\u00a0(see Monday evening for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?<\/p>\n Also, Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to\u00a0make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.\u00a0As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n Wednesday morning<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to connect with others for collaboration and an exploration of our beliefs about life. What does expansion of the mind look like? How might a wider view support our connections with others?<\/p>\n Wednesday at 11:15am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for almost 13 hours,\u00a0until 12:02am EDT<\/strong> (Wednesday night\/Thursday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to\u00a0make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what you want to build long-term.<\/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 late morning until Wednesday night ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday night<\/strong>\/Thursday very early morning, at 12:02am EDT,<\/strong> the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday early morning<\/strong>. We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n The Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.<\/p>\n Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so\u00a0as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s\u00a0ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day <\/strong>(see Wednesday night for details).<\/p>\n Thursday late morning<\/strong>, starts out with a need for inner adjustments:\u00a0we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice — a choice that\u00a0demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges:<\/p>\n On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand,\u00a0we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds. As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger).<\/p>\n Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?<\/p>\n Thursday early afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:10pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will be strong until Saturday morning.<\/strong>\u00a0It’s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.<\/p>\n We get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being “good enough”. Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others.\u00a0As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a03-8 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aquarius<\/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\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday early evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Sun\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:45pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on, it will remain strong until Friday evening<\/strong>.\u00a0We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.<\/p>\n This might concern compromising with others. Our fear of being manipulated might make us stubborn, or it might make us manipulative ourselves. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative\/the higher road, adjusting as needed.<\/p>\n We might be forced to focus, time and again, on details we would prefer to ignore. When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.<\/p>\n Do you have your\u00a0Ascendant, Career Point\u00a0(or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo, Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday night\/Thursday very early morning for details).\u00a0Mars, the traditional ruler of\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0is making several aspects to other planets today…<\/p>\n Friday very early morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mars\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:11am EDT. We started feeling this aspect build from\u00a0last week Sunday (June 9th) on; it will be strong\u00a0until\u00a0next week, Tuesday evening (June 18th)<\/strong>. This aspect brings the ability to endow what we feel passionate about with our creativity — and connect it to a higher love.<\/p>\n Our masculine energies are able to connect to compassion and understanding. We can now release past issues; through loving ourselves, we can release emotional blockages and the lower vibrations of the masculine: aggression, domineering, destructiveness, me-first attitudes.<\/p>\n As this aspect is taking place in Cancer<\/strong> and Pisces<\/strong>, we are connecting to our goals and dreams from an emotional place that is deeply spiritual. We are able to let go of our fears and attachments and are able to have faith that everything will turn out just as it needs to.<\/p>\n Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 15-22 degrees of Cancer, Pisces<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> will be touched in a particularly beautiful way by this aspect.This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Friday late morning<\/strong>, a Mars\/Saturn opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 11:50am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Sunday evening (June 9th) on; it will be strong\u00a0until next week Tuesday evening (June 18th) .<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Libra<\/strong> or Aries<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this opposition.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong> (since Mars is the ruler of Aries, while Saturn rules Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n Also, Friday late morning<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mars\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:53am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will be strong\u00a0until Saturday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward — and we need to make a choice — first though, we must develop an inner awareness of what exactly needs adjusting.<\/p>\n More profoundly though, we may feel challenged, as we realize that we are being overly enthusiastic about life; that high optimism may also drive us to take on more than we can physically handle. If we do start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at how we use our energy: Are we in tune with our physical and emotional bodies?<\/p>\n Our enthusiasm for life, attitudes, and assumptions could lead us into frustration, fatigue, and dissatisfaction, based in a struggle to reconcile two very different urges: one toward expansion, adventure, and growth, and the other other based in our desire to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe, protected, and comfortable.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also worthwhile to examine how our personal belief systems impact our experience of life… Can we stay open to new philosophies or perspectives on life and what they offer us? And perhaps even toward our desire for more expansion or personal\/spiritual growth?<\/p>\n Ignoring conflict will not serve us now, nor will\u00a0being overly emotional; as best as you can, slow down and stay tuned in to your physical and emotional body.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: Where might I be bringing an attitude that doesn’t in fact serve my close connection with myself or others? A good place to “aim” this question is toward “higher truth” or a “philosophical approach”. Here’s another question you may find helpful: If I were to check against my direct experience, how do my assumptions actually<\/em>\u00a0impact my relationship to myself and others?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-20 degrees of Cancer<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/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 Aries<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)<\/em><\/p>\n Friday at 3:46pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a>\u00a0that lasts for 13 hours,\u00a0until 5:03am EDT <\/strong>(Saturday early morning).\u00a0Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about.<\/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 afternoon until Saturday early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n
