This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Saturn comes to a halt in Capricorn on Wednesday early morning,\u00a0ending its 5-month Retrograde phase. On Saturday, the third Jupiter\/Neptune Square of the year becomes exact, as does the last Quarter Moon in Gemini, while Pluto’s Station intensifies on Sunday.<\/p>\nThere will be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday early afternoon (for 18.5 hours), Thursday late morning (for 7 hours), and Saturday late evening (for a little over 2 hours).<\/p>\n Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement: What have you learned about what works and what doesn’t in regards to your current\u00a0 structures and commitments? What needs a complete overhaul?<\/p>\n To register for this month only,\u00a0click here\u00a0<\/a>(non-Members also get access to this month’s Full Moon video when they register). Other than booking a reading<\/a>\u00a0with me, this is the highest level of support you can get — and it’s still\u00a0only $37<\/a>\u00a0for the 90+ minute webinar.<\/p>\n If you\u00a0would\u00a0like to join live<\/strong>, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins<\/strong>, if you register after 4:30pm EDT on Thursday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.<\/p>\n Also, just as a reminder:<\/strong>\u00a0Star\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0SuperStar Members<\/em>\u00a0are automatically registered. If you are already at that Membership level, please look out for an email with the link to join live on the day of the Forum, and a second email with a link to the recording of the webinar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em> all day.<\/strong> It will journey there until Tuesday morning<\/strong>. Life is an adventure, we’re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.<\/p>\n Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.<\/p>\n Monday very early morning<\/strong>, we feel an enthusiasm for personal achievement and exploration; in particular, we have an urge to explore something new that helps us develop an all-around understanding of the bigger picture. What might you be able to explore right now that you haven’t so far? What’s calling to you?<\/p>\n Monday at 12:03pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 18.5 hours until 6:31am EDT <\/strong>(Tuesday 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, follow your inner compass and take care of your own needs; on the other hand, deepen your authentic connection to whatever you are building 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 Monday early afternoon until Tuesday morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday early afternoon<\/strong>, a Mercury\/Chiron opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 12:55pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from, last week Saturday evening\u00a0 (Sept. 14th) on , it will remain strong until this Wednesday.<\/strong>\u00a0We\u00a0can balance our ability to think and speak justly with any wounding and insecurity around the masculine energies (asserting ourselves, going after something, or being actively engaged with life and others).<\/p>\n This aspect may play out in a relationship, with each of you living out one side of the equation. We may experience guilt or shame around something we said or didn’t say.<\/p>\n If you feel triggered by someone else (or vice versa), as best as you can, direct compassion and kindness towards both of you.\u00a0Ask yourself: Is this connected to my past and\/or upbringing? What if this were an opportunity to embrace my wounded inner child with love and kindness?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in degrees of\u00a01-7 Libra, Aries, Capricorn<\/strong>, or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n Monday early evening<\/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:\u00a0on the one hand,….<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

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 improve our health or daily routines \u2014 and on the other hand, the need to nurture our personal goals and passions.<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 6:31am EDT<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Thursday late afternoon<\/strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.<\/p>\n In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next 2.5 days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon<\/strong>, a Venus\/Chiron opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 4:21pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday (Sept. 14th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. <\/strong>This opposition asks us to create a balance between our healing process of our masculine energies, and our various one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n We may feel insecure around others at this time; we need to first heal our own deep fears of not being “good enough”, learning to love ourselves — and then seeing how we can meet our partners halfway. As best as you can, bring the gift of compassion, understanding and forgiveness to your own insecurities or feelings of unworthiness — then gift that to others.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer<\/strong>, or\u00a0Capricorn<\/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\u00a0Taurus<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday late afternoon<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:57pm EDT. \u00a0We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. <\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we\u2019re to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n It could be hard to make decisions under this influence, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or our problem-solving ability. It may also be hard to read the intention behind the words used to communicate, leading to misunderstandings: we tend to feel uncomfortable — a sort of “inner itchiness”.<\/p>\n As best you can, give yourself time to respond, allow your breath to ground you — and empower yourself and others by coming from love rather than fear — after all, at this moment (if you stay out of memory and away from concepts and imaginary futures), aren’t you actually ok?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-7 degrees of\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Taurus<\/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\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong>, or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n T<\/strong>omorrow (Wednesday all day) and Thursday before 4:30pm EDT<\/b>, is your last chance to sign up for Thursday’s FORECASTING FORUM.

Star\u00a0<\/i><\/b>and\u00a0SuperStar Members<\/i><\/b>, check your emails for the link to join on Sept. 19th!<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday morning for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday early morning, at 4:47am EDT<\/strong>, Saturn comes to a halt\u00a0in almost 14 degrees of Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> and begins the process of turning direct, after being retrograde for almost 5 months <\/em>since April 29th<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n As best as you can during the course of Tuesday, Wednesday, <\/strong>and Thursday of this week,<\/strong> bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any sources of frustration. If you can also bring commitment and maturity to what you are currently building in your life, you will feel more grounded in reality.<\/p>\n Over the course of the past five months, we’ve had a chance to reassess our limits and boundaries, reclaim our authority, and become more realistic and responsible. It\u2019s time to move forward now — and our progress will be in direct proportion to the amount of \u201cinner work\u201d we\u2019ve done since late April.<\/p>\n Saturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments — and also our ability to “do” life on life’s terms. When this planet comes to a halt, we get to see where we need to create or renew commitments. It may also seem like our physical realities have come to a complete halt: Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially today and tomorrow).<\/p>\n Moving forward with our long-term goals will be easier now, as we have more clarity: We can integrate what we have learned over the past 5 months and more easily align our inner commitments and goals with the outer world.<\/p>\n Feel free to join us live tomorrow (Sept. 19th) at 5:30pm EDT,<\/strong> for a more in-depth interpretation of the Saturn Station-direct phase in connection with your own birth chart. If you are not able to join us live, feel free to\u00a0get the mp4-video presentation<\/strong> of the live event. Either way:\u00a0register here now<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you are\u00a0already a Star\u00a0<\/strong>or SuperStar Member,<\/strong> just look out for the Forecasting Forum emails in your inbox (promotional folders or junk mail), on Sept. 19th.<\/p>\n Capricorns, Aquarians\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(whether by Sun-sign or Ascendent) and people with personal planets in 12-16 degrees of <\/i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Libra<\/i><\/b>\u00a0will feel a particularly strong sense of relief as Saturn starts to slowly gain speed.<\/i><\/p>\n Wednesday late morning<\/strong>: Slow down a little and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. Rushing will backfire right now.<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/p>\n Late Wednesday evening<\/strong>, we experience a Grand Earth Trine between the Moon, Mars, and Pluto. This brings flow and ease to practical endeavors and provides a wonderful opportunity to improve our daily lives by committing to what feels authentic and empowering to us and others for the long-term. We get a chance to achieve all this by keeping things down to earth, honest, and enjoyable.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> until 4:59pm EDT<\/strong> (see Tuesday morning for details).<\/p>\n Thursday morning,<\/strong> a somewhat challenging Venus\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:27am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on, it will remain strong until Friday morning.<\/strong>\u00a0This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice\u2026 so we need to develop inner awareness.<\/p>\n Learning to let go of the past means being willing to release relationships we have outgrown. Learning ways to abruptly alter our circumstances without emotional turmoil: This is the way Uranus\u2019s energy urges us to grow. We need freedom “within” our relationships, not “from” them.<\/p>\n It’s also time to reevaluate the ways we’ve imprisoned ourselves in protective behaviors and then rebel against them. While “Different” is not always “improved”, change is essential to our evolutionary process.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-7 degrees of <\/i>Libra <\/i><\/b>or\u00a0<\/i>Taurus?<\/i><\/b>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\u00a0<\/i>Taurus, Libra <\/i><\/b>or\u00a0<\/i>Aquarius <\/i><\/b>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius).<\/i><\/p>\n Thursday at 9:57am<\/strong> EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 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 until the late afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Thursday early afternoon<\/strong>, a harmonious Mars\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:53am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Saturday evening (Sept. 14th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Sept. 23rd).<\/strong> This aspect brings a powerful ability to pursue and accomplish our objectives. We are able to see more clearly where we are heading and where we want to commit.<\/p>\n Our vitality and energy levels are at a high point. We are most likely feeling ambitious and dynamic right now. Our recuperative powers are excellent and our health is robust. We might feel inspired to build up our physical strength during this astrological influence, and this is a good idea — we can develop greater endurance and vitality now, which will rejuvenate our body.<\/p>\n This is definitely a strong energy for steady, practical, down-to-earth work on a project. It is also quite a sexy combination. As best as you can, leverage this powerful mixture of energies to go after the things you have been wanting for a while now… and as Pluto is involved, use it all to fulfill on your Soul’s purpose.<\/p>\n Anything that we feel deeply passionate about and that feels in complete alignment with our deepest core, is very likely part of our Soul’s journey. What moves you? What turns you on? Not just on a physical level but also on an emotional and spiritual level? If you had all the resources that you needed, what might you choose to manifest?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-24 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn<\/strong>, or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Mars being the ruler of Aries; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday before 4:30pm EDT<\/b>, is your last chance to sign up for Thursday’s FORECASTING FORUM.

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 This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening<\/em>).<\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Friday morning<\/strong>, we feel social and seek connection on a mental level. As best as you can, have stimulating conversations — and allow for collaboration.<\/p>\n Friday early afternoon<\/strong>, we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share or exchange information with them. As best as you can, collaborate with others and communicate your ideas for win-win scenarios.<\/p>\n Friday evening<\/strong>, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward being responsible and building something that will last long-term — even if that means slowing down and taking it on step at a time.<\/p>\n Friday night<\/strong>\/Saturday very early morning, we are invited to balance our desire for sharing and gathering information with our desire to go beyond learned knowledge and tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.<\/p>\n Also, Friday night<\/strong>\/Saturday very early morning, we are 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 Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Saturday early afternoon<\/strong>, the third Jupiter\/Neptune Square<\/em> of the year becomes exact at 12:44pm EDT. We started feeling this aspect build from August 24th on; it will be strong until October 10th.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The first Square<\/em> of the year became exact back on Jan. 13th,<\/strong> and its influence was strong for the entire month; the second Square<\/em> was exact on June 16th,<\/strong> and likewise made itself strongly felt for the whole month of June and into early July. Think back to those times and ask:<\/strong> What did I learn about my beliefs and attitudes towards life? What did I discover about my relationship to God\/Source\/my Higher Self? Where have I uncovered a naive approach to life? Where did I discover unrealistic expectations?<\/p>\n This\u00a0challenging Jupiter\/Neptune aspect in 17 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius\/Pisces<\/strong> invites us to be more aware of our current connection to the divine and what we believe about it. It heightens our imagination, intuition, and compassion — but it could also make us more susceptible to fantasy, wishful thinking, or escapism.<\/p>\n What makes this particular combo highly unusual is that both planets are in their own sign for the first time since 1853! This of course amplifies the energies between them; this could leave us feeling restless, uneasy, and possibly impatient.<\/p>\n This aspect asks\u00a0us to grow by stretching in two seemingly irreconcilable\u00a0directions:\u00a0On the one hand,\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0points us toward exploring life via our mind (or via our body in motion) to experience a sense of expansion and growth — and on the other hand,\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0points us toward connecting internally to our intuition, sensing things (inside and around us), and letting our imagination go wild.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\u00a0What might be possible if I allowed myself to shift from my conditioning to\u00a0feeling\u00a0into\u00a0the truth of who I am?\u00a0What does “spiritual expansion” mean to me?<\/p>\n The challenge with this particular Square is fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, outer engagement with life vs. inner engagement with intuitive Self; it’s also about burning lots of energy as we explore life vs. a need for rest and inner peace, achieved through acceptance and communion with our inner divinity (we may want to make time for all of the above…)<\/p>\n As best as you can,\u00a0explore\u00a0your\u00a0conditioning and programming: What messages did I receive from my parents around\u00a0my intuitive gifts, divine connection to Self, or creative aspirations? How about from teachers? Religion? The culture(s) I grew up in? How does my actual experience differ from those messages? Where am I ready to expand beyond old programming? Which one of my “filters” could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini<\/strong>, or Virgo<\/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 Sagittarius<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Neptune rules Pisces)<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday at 10:41pm EDT, <\/strong>the last Quarter Moon in almost 29 degrees Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>becomes exact.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Gemini\u00a0(on Thursday afternoon)<\/strong>.\u00a0The Moon in curious, chatty\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in\u00a0practical, detail- and service-oriented\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing any projects begun around the last New Moon — in this case, that would be Aug. 30th — rather than launching new ones.<\/p>\n As best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of <\/i>Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius,<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/i>Pisces\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or 0-1 degrees of <\/i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, <\/i><\/b>or <\/i>Libra<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Cancer<\/i><\/b>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.<\/i><\/p>\n Saturday at 10:41pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 2 hours until 12:50am EDT <\/strong>(Saturday night\/Sunday very early morning). If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<\/p>\n
