Ridding Ourselves of Self-Delusion — Forecast for July 15 – 21<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"This week’s headline items:<\/strong> A Full Moon\/Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late afternoon, the Mercury station ends on Thursday, and Mercury re-enters the sign of Cancer very early Friday.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Now for this week\u2019s Forecast…<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Monday, July 15th:<\/h3>\n

Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning<\/strong>.\u00a0 We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<\/p>\n

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\u2028As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Saturn is the ruler of\u00a0Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.<\/p>\n

For starters: Do you truly see “what’s so” in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where “A” is, it’s easier to “go from A to B” — whether “B” is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop. This Moon placement starts the build up to the Full Moon (exact Tuesday late afternoon).<\/p>\n

Monday\u00a0<\/strong>morning:<\/b> we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. As best as you can, make space for looking into some alternative exercise programs or holistic approaches to your personal projects and current long-term commitments. Compassion is key \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Also on\u00a0Monday morning, <\/strong>we are invited to connect with like-minded people, and learn something new about our unique talents or value to the world. We are better able to connect to anything that involves a long-term commitment. We perhaps might also implement revolutionary business practices or government programs that support our values and make life tangibly more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Monday early afternoon, <\/strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.<\/p>\n

Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the urge to be creative, self-expressed, and playing full-out \u2014 and on the other, the desire to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.<\/p>\n

Monday night<\/strong>\/Tuesday very early morning, our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged; we are invited to…<\/p>\n

\n[wcm_restrict]<\/p>\n

we are invited to balance our need for something familiar against our need for worldly success and status. As best as you can, get in touch with what you truly want and need: Is it the world’s approval or an authentic emotional self-connection?<\/p>\n

Tuesday, July 16th:<\/h3>\n

Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday for details).<\/p>\n

Tuesday very early morning<\/strong>, we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.<\/p>\n

Tuesday early afternoon<\/strong>, our focus intensifies — we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can, take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Tuesday at 5:38pm EDT, <\/strong>\u00a0the Moon opposes the Sun\u00a0in 24 degrees of\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u2014 this is\u00a0a\u00a0Lunar Eclipse<\/em>\u00a0becoming exact\u00a0(the entrance of the Moon into\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0Sunday evening (July 14th) starts the energetic build up towards this\u00a0powerful\u00a0Full Moon).\u00a0This Full Moon is actually the\u00a0second of two Eclipses<\/em>\u00a0in July<\/strong>; the first one was the Solar Eclipse in\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0on July 2nd.<\/p>\n

Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\u2019s Journey. If you\u2019d like to learn more, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of planets are involved in this powerful Full Moon\/Lunar Eclipse chart<\/em> — Saturn, Pluto, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Neptune — and all play an important role, so buckle up! Of the 11 astrological “planets”, 6 are retrograde at the time of this Eclipse, indicating that we have lots of inner processes going on — and it will be important to honor those processes.<\/p>\n

This Full Moon is also the first Lunar Eclipse in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0since the Moon Nodes moved into\u00a0Cancer\/Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0in late 2018. This puts an emphasis on balancing those two polarities and integrating them both within ourselves and collectively. With Eclipses this is a longer term process — in this case, a process that will last until Nov. 2020.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at those polarities:\u00a0The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0opposes the Sun in protective, feeling-oriented\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We have\u00a0a heightened sense that something must be brought into balance and reintegrated; the balance in question is between the experience of our feelings and our emotional needs (symbolized by\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>), versus our outer obligations or material, practical goals (Capricorn<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

It’s important to realize that our long-term goals need our attention — and that they are the very thing that will bring the fulfillment and inner stability we seek. A realistic approach will work best here!\u00a0Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0Where might the balance point be between the demands of my inner and outer life?<\/p>\n

Star\u00a0<\/strong>and SuperStar Members:<\/strong> check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on July 12th at 11am EDT \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Tuesday at 5:38pm EDT<\/strong>, at the same time as the Lunar Eclipse becomes exact, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 11.5 hours until 5:19am EDT<\/strong> (Wednesday early morning). Use this intuitive time to balance your need for worldly accomplishment and success against your desire for emotional connection and the nurturing of a safe home life.<\/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 late afternoon until Wednesday early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, July 17th:<\/h3>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 5:19am EDT<\/strong> (see Monday and Tuesday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Wednesday very early morning<\/strong>, a Venus\/Saturn opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 1:34am EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening (July 14th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday (July 19th).<\/strong>\u00a0This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives — at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.<\/p>\n

This can be eye-opening — a signal to work on improving the “ways” (as well as the “things”) that we bring to partnerships or to our finances.\u00a0Doubts could be raised now. But what’s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.
\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need — and what we can give.<\/p>\n

We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent “going through the motions” on a social and\/or mental level.<\/p>\n

Our goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this — and on an external level with others.<\/p>\n

Think back to mid Feb. 2019<\/strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?<\/p>\n

In other words: What has emerged since mid February, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven’t) learned since then… Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration? Do the commitments you made then feel attainable and nurturing?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a013-20 degrees of\u00a0Cancer, Capricorn,\u00a0Aries<\/strong>,\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/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\u00a0Taurus, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n

Wednesday at 5:19am EDT,<\/strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday late afternoon<\/strong>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.<\/p>\n

Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space \ud83d\ude42 Personal freedom becomes paramount.<\/p>\n

Wednesday morning<\/strong>, we may need to find a balance between wanting to belong and fit in, versus wanting to fully, authentically, and joyfully express our individual light.<\/p>\n

Wednesday late afternoon<\/strong>, presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress.<\/p>\n

Wednesday early evening<\/strong>, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions:\u00a0On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to\u00a0make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.<\/p>\n

As such, we may have to address what we value in both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.<\/p>\n

Thursday, July 18th:<\/h3>\n

Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning for details).<\/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 Thursday late morning\/early afternoon until Friday late afternoon\/early evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Thursday afternoon<\/strong>, a harmonious Venus\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:03pm EDT. We start to feel this aspect build from Monday on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening.\u00a0<\/strong>This aspect makes for a very creative and beautiful time; music, art, the movies and the theatre are in high demand. Spiritual endeavors are easily shared with others.<\/p>\n

We might not have the best boundaries in place in our relationships, socializing or with money… but we sure as hell know how to enjoy ourselves. We connect to others in a compassionate, sweet, loving way; we are more likely to feel romantic.<\/p>\n

Our intuition and instincts are strongly supported here too. It becomes easier to trust others and open up to them; we give ourselves permission to receive love and emotional support. As best as you can, let all feelings flow.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a015-22 degrees of\u00a0Cancer, Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n

Also on Thursday<\/strong>, Mercury Station ends (in almost 1 degree of Leo<\/strong>).<\/em> Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station — but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that\u2019s what \u201cretrograde\u201d refers to). We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and\/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks — especially those connected to our inner child energy: self-expression, creativity, joy: How can you fully, authentically, and joyfully express your individual light?<\/p>\n

Friday, July 19th:<\/h3>\n

Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 5:19pm EDT<\/strong> (see Wednesday early morning and Thursday early afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Friday very early morning, at 3:06am EDT<\/strong>, Mercury re-enters protective, nurturing\u00a0Cancer<\/strong><\/em> (due to its current Retrograde phase). It will journey there until August 11th<\/strong>. <\/span>Mercury journeyed through Cancer<\/strong> already once before: from June 4th until the 26th<\/strong>. Think back to that time — especially from June 20th until 26th: What conversations need to be revisited from that time? What did you communicate to others? What came up in your dealings with others? How about with your inner dialog?<\/p>\n

During the next three weeks<\/strong>, we are more sensitive to our surroundings, especially when listening and taking in information. We also have more sympathy towards the suffering of others.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, we have less objectivity, as emotions are always involved in our interactions with others; this could also mean we end up taking things more personally than we really need to — perhaps even to the extent that we start feeling sorry for ourselves. As best as you can, remember to ask yourself: Is this really about me?<\/p>\n

This is particularly true if you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>. You will feel a stronger need to connect with family or the people in your life that feel familiar and safe. You may also feel the need to talk about the past and work through past conditioning. If you are a\u00a0Cancer<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you will be more chatty for the next 3 weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday at 5:19pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Monday morning (July 22nd).<\/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

Saturday, July 20th:<\/h3>\n

Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Saturday morning<\/strong>, we get an opportunity to be very present, to connect with others and share a new vision about the Earth, or to reinvent how we connect with “the good things in life”. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being; allow yourself to intuitively share some progressive, new ideas about what is important to you, and things that could make yours and other people’s life easier on a very practical level.<\/p>\n

Saturday late afternoon<\/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 might you hear if you got really quiet?<\/p>\n

Saturday night<\/strong>\/ Sunday very early morning, we feel a need to go within and slow down — and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions — the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don’t drive ourselves or others crazy.<\/p>\n

Sunday, July 21st:<\/h3>\n

Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n

Sunday very early morning<\/strong>, if we are awake at that time, we get an opportunity to be wholly present — and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.<\/p>\n

Sunday early morning<\/strong>, a Venus\/Pluto opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 4:32am EDT. We\u00a0started\u00a0to feel this aspect build from this Thursday evening on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday evening (July 23rd).<\/strong>\u00a0We are called to create a balance between our desire for harmony with people we care about, versus our desire to bring a deep focus and passionate approach to long-term commitments.<\/p>\n

We can learn a lot about ourselves through relationships during this opposition phase. We may not altogether like what we see though, as we perhaps glimpse our “darker” side — and it will be critical that we recognize it as our own “stuff”, rather than projecting it onto a partner or family member. Sexual intensity can be a part of this transit too — as can fear of losing loved ones or of being abandoned.<\/p>\n

We have a deeply lodged need to establish a sense of self-worth at this time; we may start to argue or lay blame in order to feel better about ourselves. We need to be less concerned with how we “appear” to others and more with how we actually “are”.<\/p>\n

All of this could bring up deep feelings in connection with others. There also might be a tendency to confuse “Love” and “Power” right now; as best as you can, be true to yourself and come from an open heart, rather than a scared one. Ask yourself: What would “Love” do?<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in\u00a019-25 degrees\u00a0of\u00a0Cancer, Capricorn, Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>?\u00a0If so, you may be more affected by this opposition. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Taurus, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday morning<\/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

Sunday morning<\/strong>, a Sun\/Mercury alignment in almost 28.5 degrees of Cancer<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 8:34am EDT. We started feeling this aspect build from Friday early morning on; it will be strong until Monday (July 22nd)<\/strong>.\u00a0This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks — we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.<\/p>\n

As this alignment takes place in Cancer<\/strong>, we may be particularly sentimental, but it may not always serve us to refer back to the past — especially the distant past. \u2028\u2028We want an active role in communications — it’s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?<\/p>\n

Our opinions are strong and our thinking independent — and we’re proud of both — our egos may therefore get bruised if we don’t feel “heard”. As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that’s ok.<\/p>\n

\u2028Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries<\/strong>, Libra, <\/strong>or 0-2 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus <\/b>or Scorpio<\/b>?\u00a0If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo, Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday early afternoon<\/strong>, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.<\/p>\n

\nHere is a testimonial from one of our participants after joining our most recent Forum:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A heads up for next Monday (July 22nd):<\/strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em> until 6:02am EDT<\/strong>. At 4:34am EDT,<\/strong> we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 1.5 hours until 6:02am; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday early evening<\/strong>. At 10:50pm EDT<\/strong>, the Sun changes sign from Cancer<\/strong> to Leo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until August 23rd<\/strong>. More about all the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Thursday at 11:53am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 29.5 hours until 5:19pm EDT <\/strong>(Friday late afternoon). Use this intuitive time as\u00a0an opportunity to connect with others and explore, actively, the things that can bring you progress. Ask yourself: Am I open to explore something different? Am I open to seeing something that I haven’t looked at before? Am I open to new adventures?<\/p>\n
