This week’s headline items:<\/strong> Mars changes signs, moving from Cancer to Leo on Monday evening; the New Moon\/Solar Eclipse in Cancer becomes exact on Tuesday afternoon; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Wednesday late morning; we can start to set our Solar Eclipse intentions on Thursday afternoon; Mercury’s station intensifies on Thursday, and the planet comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 3-week Retrograde phase.<\/p>\nThere will be four Moon VoC phases<\/a> this week: Monday early evening (for a little over 3.5 hours), Wednesday late morning (for almost 13 hours), Friday very early morning (for 22 hours), and Sunday early afternoon (for a little over 13 hours).<\/p>\n Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have a quick announcement: <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 9:24pm EDT<\/strong>. For the next few hours, 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<\/p>\n Monday at 5:48pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 3.5 hours until 9:24pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.<\/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 evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday evening, at 7:19pm EDT<\/strong>, Mars changes signs from protective, emotional, safety-oriented\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0to fun-loving, risk-taking Leo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until August 16th.<\/strong>\u00a0This is a particularly vital position for Mars.<\/p>\n For these next six and a half weeks<\/strong> we will feel a strong need to\u00a0create\u00a0in some way. Passions tend to run high, as do desire, will, enthusiasm — and our appetite for risk.<\/p>\n Our ego is tied up with our actions — anything we do becomes a source of great pride — and tempts us to “prideful” positioning. If we can move forward on our personal goals, especially those in alignment with our heart, we could become inspirational leaders.<\/p>\n If you have an\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign,\u00a0you are going to feel more fun-loving and competitive; it likely will be a more active time in your life. If you are a\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized and passionate for the next 6.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project with your children (or your inner child) might be advisable.<\/em><\/p>\n Monday at 9:24pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening<\/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.<\/p>\n Also, Monday:<\/strong>\u00a0this is the last day before the Solar Eclipse in Cancer<\/strong> becomes exact. <\/em>There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\u00a0Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse, if you haven’t seen it yet<\/a> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.<\/p>\n It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the \u201cobserver\u201d until the upgrade is complete?<\/p>\n Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things.\u00a0Think back to July 2018 \u2014\u00a0the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Cancer. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?<\/p>\n As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling \u2014 anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.<\/p>\n Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and…<\/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 *** if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if I gave this to myself on a regular basis?<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<\/p>\n Also, Tuesday morning<\/strong>, brings 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 Tuesday afternoon, at 3:16pm EDT<\/strong>, a powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse in 10.5 degrees of\u00a0Cancer<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact.\u00a0This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle — in fact, this is the\u00a0first of two Eclipses\u00a0within the next two weeks!<\/p>\n You can think of Eclipses<\/em> as extra-powerful New and Full Moons. The Sun, Moon, and Earth line up in such a way that cosmic energies are intensified, fostering amplified\u00a0shifts in consciousness and\u00a0accelerating our evolution.<\/p>\n I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Sun and Moon are both in\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0— and,\u00a0as always, they\u00a0connect to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the North Node — and\u00a0North Node Eclipses<\/em>\u00a0help us explore anew an energy that promotes Soul-evolution.<\/p>\n As I mentioned earlier, Solar Eclipses are extra-powerful New Moons, they end one 19-year cycle and begin another.\u00a0On July 1st, 2000<\/strong>,\u00a0we had a Solar Eclipse in almost 10.5 degrees of\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0that was also\u00a0connected to the North Node; given this similarity, we are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time \u2014 “resonant”, rather than identical \u2014 so think back to the summer of 2000 and\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>\u00a0the following:<\/p>\n Were there any major endings back then? Beginnings? What was important? If the call now came to take those priorities to the next level\u2026 Where would that next level find me?<\/p>\n The shift connected with this particular Eclipse began last summer already (July 2018), and will unfold over the next 11-16 months. This shift in question is all about the\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0energy; which is connected to family, home (this could be a physical or emotional “home”) — a shift with past issues around feeling “at home”, “safe”\u00a0\u00a0or “nurtured”– both internally and in the world.<\/p>\n Internally, this is about being more rooted in our physical-emotional bodies, and allowing ourselves to explore and celebrate the mother-archetype both within and without — this would be things archetypically “mother-related”, like giving and receiving nurturing, caring for ourselves in terms of our emotional and physical state, and so on.<\/p>\n Over the next 6 months,\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Am I rooted in fertile ground? Am I thriving? What else do I need to flourish and grow? What has changed for me in the past 5-10 years in that regard?<\/p>\n If you’re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart:<\/strong> The House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of your life is most ready to go to a new level of consciousness.<\/p>\n If you want to hear more about the\u00a0upcoming Eclipses<\/strong>\u00a0in relationship to your own birth chart,\u00a0join us live on July 11th<\/a>\u00a0for our next\u00a0Forecasting Forum!<\/p>\n As a reminder to\u00a0Star\u00a0and\u00a0SuperStar Members:\u00a0you are automatically registered and will receive an email on the day of the webinar to join live, as well as a video-presentation of the Forum within 24 hours of the live event.<\/p>\n Now back to the Solar Eclipse\u2026\u00a0Cancer<\/strong> is all about… to read the whole article and get access to all the Coaching Questions from the video, click here<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 5-16 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/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\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Setting Intentions for a Solar Eclipse<\/em>\u00a0is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process — after all, we are setting them for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just the next 28 days.<\/p>\n Solar Eclipse Intentions are best done\u00a048 hours\u00a0after<\/strong>\u00a0the Eclipse becomes exact<\/em> — as we are downloading new templates at the time of an Eclipse, and\u00a0the energies are quite intense, so we want to wait until it all settles down a little before setting our intentions… We also definitely do\u00a0not\u00a0want to do this during\u00a0a\u00a0Moon void of course<\/a>.<\/p>\n The best and most potent times to set your Intentions<\/strong> is therefore either\u00a0between\u00a03:16pm\u00a0on\u00a0July 4th\u00a0and\u00a02:24am\u00a0on July 5th<\/strong>,\u00a0or\u00a0between 12:25am and 3:16pm\u00a0on July 6th<\/strong> (in US Eastern Time — i.e. the New York time zone). Set powerful intentions — after all, they cover the next six months — and if possible, align them with the\u00a0Cancer\u00a0energy!<\/p>\n If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page<\/a>\u00a0and\/or following me on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, as I post reminders when it’s time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n This Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires that we create a balance in our lives; so, while writing your intentions,\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What if I created a more authentic connection to my feeling-body? And if I did, might it just possibly help me better take care of my needs? And if I did\u00a0that… might I in turn become a more successful and accomplished citizen of the world?<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> until 11:19pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday at 10:25am EDT, <\/strong>we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 13 hours until 11:19pm EDT<\/strong>.\u00a0Use this intuitive time to find a balance between nurturing yourself and focusing on building something long-term. Emotional issues from the past may come up at this time with a loved one or a significant other.<\/p>\n This could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors; as best as you can, remain flexible and practice self-care. Connect to the power of love, rather than the power of fear — especially fear connected to any attachments or aversions. If possible, empower yourself and others — and find a balance between your inner and outer world.<\/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 late evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday late morning<\/strong>, at 11:18am EDT<\/strong>, Venus changes signs from versatile, chatty & curious Gemini<\/strong> to protective, home & family-oriented Cancer<\/strong><\/em>. It will journey here until July 27th<\/strong>; for those 3.5 weeks<\/strong>, we value the following: family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety and real-estate dealings.<\/p>\n We prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We’d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone’s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other — and make sure to talk about your feelings.<\/p>\n With regards to our finances, it’s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It’s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 3.5<\/span> weeks. Your heart will want to connect to family and loved ones. If you are a Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 11:19pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday night<\/strong>. We have a chance to appreciate ourselves and our lives — and to connect to the heart. Hand out as many compliments as possible, they will be deeply appreciated \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you squeak just thinking about it?<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong>, things flow nicely and we feel excited about new healing modalities. There’s an opportunity here to be compassionate toward ourselves and others and for connecting to our inner child. As best as you can, have fun when connecting with others, bring a healing quality to the table by tapping into your inner joy, explore things on a holistic level, and take a risk.<\/p>\n Also on Thursday:<\/strong>\u00a0the\u00a0Mercury station intensifies<\/em>,\u00a0as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Sunday, July 7th<\/strong> (starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During this intensified Station phase (which lasts until July 10th in 4 degrees of Leo<\/strong>), we feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly.<\/p>\n Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).<\/p>\n For the next 6 days<\/strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere — and that goes for the journey itself, too — especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.<\/p>\n Be extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Aug.13th<\/strong> when the shadow phase is over.<\/p>\n If you are\u00a0not<\/em> yet a Star or SuperStar Member, but are hungry to learn more about Chiron’s Station phase<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0upcoming Mercury Retrograde<\/em>,\u00a0you might want to purchase the video presentation of the most recent\u00a0Forecasting Forum<\/a>\u00a0— we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how they will affect each of us.<\/p>\n This week only, get a FREE copy of the entire webinar,<\/strong> and a subscription to my Monthly Forecasting Forums, all by simply signing up for my\u00a0Star<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0SuperStar Membership\u00a0—\u00a0the\u00a0offer expires July 8th. <\/strong>Click here to take advantage of that deal!<\/a><\/p>\n By the way, if you’re not sure whether it’s for you<\/em>, you can\u00a0take it for a “test drive”, by\u00a0watching the first 25 minutes<\/strong> of this 95-min. webinar here for FREE: click here and enjoy!<\/a><\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 2-6 degrees of Leo, Taurus, Scorpio<\/strong>, or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday from 3:16pm EDT on (until 2:24am EDT on Friday very early morning),<\/strong> is the best time for us to set our Solar Eclipse Intentions.<\/em>\u00a0Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.<\/p>\n Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months<\/strong> — and if possible, align them with the Cancer<\/strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video<\/em> (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher \u2014 click here to watch<\/a> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page<\/a> and\/or following me on Twitter<\/a>.

And if I did, might it just possibly help me better take care of my needs? And if I did\u00a0that… might I in turn become a more successful and accomplished citizen of the world?<\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>\u00a0(see Wednesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Friday very early morning, at 2:24am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 22 hours, until 12:25am EDT <\/strong>(Friday night\/Saturday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to explore any “historically-based” beliefs around life, children and your creative self-expression: What if you took an optimistic approach?<\/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 all day and evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Friday early morning<\/strong>, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun. Friday morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?<\/p>\n Friday late morning<\/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 to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.<\/p>\n We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and again, drop any self-judgment<\/p>\n Friday night\/<\/strong>Saturday very early morning, at 12:25am EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Monday (July 8th);<\/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 Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday night for details).<\/p>\n Saturday until 3:16pm EDT:<\/strong>\u00a0it is still the best time to set our powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse Intentions<\/em>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.<\/p>\n Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months<\/strong> — and if possible, align them with the Cancer<\/strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video<\/em> (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher \u2014 click here to watch<\/a> \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn’t your thing, I suggest joining my Facebook Fan-page<\/a> and\/or following me on Twitter<\/a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n This Solar Eclipse<\/em> reminds us that to be fully alive requires that we create a balance in our lives; so, while writing your intentions,\u00a0ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What if I created a more authentic connection to my feeling-body? And if I did, might it just possibly help me better take care of my needs? And if I did\u00a0that… might I in turn become a more successful and accomplished citizen of the world?<\/p>\n Saturday morning:<\/strong> this could be a good time to get organized, improve daily routines, and develop more awareness of how that all fits in both with supporting loved ones and with what we need to feel supported by others ourselves.<\/p>\n Saturday late morning<\/strong>, calls for some inner adjustments. 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, the desire to heal our relationship with the inner masculine (assertiveness\/anger, leadership, taking actions) \u2014 and on the other, the need to tend to our daily work or health routines.<\/p>\n Also, Saturday late morning<\/strong>, we are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value in the world. We are able to better connect to anything that requires attention to detail. We might also perhaps implement revolutionary health routines or other systems in our day to day life that support our values and make life more enjoyable.<\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday night\/Saturday very early morning for details).<\/p>\n Sunday very early morning<\/strong>, we are being asked to stretch and grow — to 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 Sunday early morning<\/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 Sunday morning<\/strong>, we seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it\u2019s a great day for being of service.<\/p>\n
