Click here to register!<\/strong><\/a> Star <\/em>and SuperStar Members<\/em> will receive an email with the link to join on Dec.16th!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus<\/strong><\/em> all day.<\/strong> It will journey there until Tuesday late morning<\/strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.<\/p>\n What is our favorite thing for the next day? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Monday early morning, at 4:42am EST<\/strong>, Mercury changes signs from intense, passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong> to optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>. It will journey through this fiery sign, until Dec. 28th<\/strong>. During this time, our thinking shifts from a need to plumb the depths of any given situation, to the desire to explore a wide range of topics — especially topics that widen our horizons.<\/p>\n We seek out new ideas; our thinking is more optimistic and our faith increased. We are more equipped to believe and to persuade and will have an easier time\u00a0reframing problems into opportunities: What if we saw everything that happens to us as a chance to grow? What might change if everything was happening “for” us rather than “to” us?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will feel a greater need for expansion — let’s hope it’s not your waistline that expands \ud83d\ude42 Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.<\/em><\/p>\n Monday late morning<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.<\/p>\n Also, Monday late morning<\/strong>: we have\u00a0the ability to comfortably accomplish things that are aligned with our values, coupled with a nice feeling of ease — rushing is not required or expected of us right now. We are also feeling quite grounded in our connections with others and can be quite “real” with them without causing offense.<\/p>\n Monday afternoon<\/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 Monday 8:13pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 15.5 hours until 11:47am EST <\/strong>(Tuesday late morning). Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.<\/p>\n As always with a Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

You may also want to plan Monday evening until Tuesday late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in Taurus<\/strong> and VoC<\/a><\/em> until 11:47am EST<\/strong> (see Monday morning and Monday evening for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday early morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mercury\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:32am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday<\/strong> (Dec. 8th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday<\/strong> (Dec.12th). This aspect is a wonderful possibility for active healing in regards to our conditioning and day to day thinking structures.<\/p>\n We can bring compassion, both for ourselves and for others, to communications that trigger us. We are able to allow more space for the “bigger picture” as we share our stories. Forgiveness and understanding towards ourselves and others comes more easily now in general.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-5 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries<\/strong>, Leo, <\/strong>or 28-29 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces, <\/strong>or Cancer<\/strong>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo <\/strong>(Mercury is the ruler of\u00a0Gemini and Virgo).<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday at 11:47am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Thursday early evening<\/strong>. For the next two days<\/strong>, 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 start the build up towards the Full Moon in Gemini<\/strong> (exact Wednesday night\/Thursday very early morning<\/em>).<\/p>\n Tuesday early afternoon<\/strong>, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections?<\/p>\n Tuesday late afternoon<\/strong>, we are asked to balance our need for mentally stimulating interactions and learning, with our desire to venture beyond our day-to-day mind in order to explore things on a more philosophical level. What’s the larger picture? What are we here to do? What are we here to be? Why now?<\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, a Venus\/Saturn alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 5:05am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Sunday<\/strong> (Dec. 8th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday <\/strong>(Dec. 13th) This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationships and the things we most value. Relationships feel stable and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.<\/p>\n We experience a new sense of realism in existing partnerships. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to a “cause” or long-term goal.<\/p>\n We are ready to face any problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet — and they will likely surface. Renewed ties to old friends, business partners or lovers are possible, as is a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships. This is not the best time to start a brand-new relationship.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 16-22 degrees of of Capricorn, Cancer<\/strong>, Aries, <\/strong>or Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday morning<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Mercury\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday<\/strong> on, it will remain strong until Thursday early morning<\/strong>.\u00a0This aspect also 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 are 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 problem-solving abilities; it may also be hard to read the intention behind people’s words, leading to misunderstandings — we tend to feel uncomfortable — a sort of “inner itchiness”.<\/p>\n As best you can, give yourself time to respond rather than react — allow your breath to ground you — and be as flexible as possible without compromising your values.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 2-4 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong> or Taurus<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius<\/em>).<\/p>\n Wednesday night<\/strong>\/Thursday very early morning, at 12:12am EST,<\/strong> we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 18 hours until 6:23pm EST <\/strong>(Thursday early evening). Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for sharing and gathering information with your desire to go beyond learned knowledge and tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.<\/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 night until Thursday evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 6:23pm EST<\/strong> (see Tuesday late morning and Wednesday night\/Thursday very early morning for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday night\/Thursday very early morning, at 12:12am EST,<\/strong> the Full Moon in almost 20 degrees of Gemini<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact; as mentioned above, the entrance of the Moon into Gemini Tuesday late morning started the energetic build up towards the Full Moon<\/strong>. The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0opposes the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong>. <\/em>if you’d like to learn more about this Lunation, check out my video on the subject\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/a> Full Moons<\/em>\u00a0give us a chance to realize how far we have come since the time of the last New Moon. We gain a better insight as to whether we are where we’d like to be, or need to make some major adjustments. Full Moons also highlight relationships, and may bring about a crisis to heighten our awareness of any imbalances, thereby pointing us towards integration of certain polarities.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0How far have I come in regards to understanding the bigger picture and my beliefs within that? How am I doing with looking at what I am learning about life — directly from my current experiences? What might the next step be for me? What decisions could I make over the next two weeks that might support me on my current adventures?<\/p>\n This month’s Full Moon, has a mutable T-Square with Neptune as the focus point, a Stellium in Capricorn<\/strong>, and Chiron, the Wounded Healer, currently in Aries<\/strong> is exalted<\/em>. I will go into all those in detail in a moment…<\/p>\n So, the next two weeks,<\/strong> we are dealing with the\u00a0Sagittarius\/Gemini\u00a0polarity,<\/strong> and we’ll seek balance and integration around those poles — something needs to be brought into alignment — so let’s look at\u00a0those signs in more detail: Sagittarius<\/strong> highlights the importance of… \u00a0To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s Full Moon, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of\u00a0Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo<\/strong>, or Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday very 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 for accomplishment,\u00a0on the other, our need to make connections and exchange information.<\/p>\n We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after superficial exchanges? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment<\/p>\n Thursday at 6:23pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday late evening<\/strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two days \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.<\/p>\n Thursday late evening<\/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, Thursday late evening, at 10:48pm EST<\/strong>, after a 5-month retrograde, Chiron comes to a halt<\/em> (in order to turn direct) in almost 1.5 degrees of Aries<\/strong><\/em>. Chiron is the wounded healer; in Aries<\/strong>, it brings our attention towards our physical and sexual wounds, as well as wounding around our self-identity and the masculine energies. As best as you can, watch out for any triggers that are connected to your past.<\/p>\n Chiron represents our inner insecurities, those self-conscious and wounded places. Chiron also represents the inner wound of abandonment and our need to “make it on our own”.<\/p>\n We are invited to approach these wounds on a holistic level, to heal them such that others are healed thereby. This is accomplished very simply and naturally when we work with the true beauty and strength of this energy: Compassion. Having compassion for our own wounds heals them and allows healing compassion for the wounds we now see in others.<\/p>\n What physical or sexual wounding could you now acknowledge? Where are your insecurities around personal goals or being a leader in your own unique way?\u00a0What needs your compassion or even your love? What needs to heal?<\/p>\n For those of you who want to\u00a0have a better understanding of your personal healing journey,\u00a0feel free to get the mp3-recording of\u00a0my\u00a0Chiron workshop: “Healing with Astrology”\u00a0Click here\u00a0for more info<\/a>. Please keep in mind that as a Member of my online community you have FREE access to this workshop via your Member’s account<\/a> (click on the “My Courses”- tab)<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: Do you have your Ascendant, your Career point or any of your personal planets in the following: 0-4 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,<\/strong> or 28-29 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius<\/strong>? If you do, you may need to take your emotional or spiritual wounds under the magnifying glass. Take a closer look at how you can bring compassion and understanding to those wounds\/insecurities.<\/em><\/p>\n Last but not least, Thursday late evening<\/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 Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).<\/p>\n Friday early morning<\/strong>, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to something new and exciting for the mind \u2014 and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.<\/p>\n Friday morning<\/strong>, a harmonious Mars\/Neptune aspec<\/em>t becomes exact at 6:55am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Sunday evening<\/strong> (Dec. 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening<\/strong> (Dec.17th). This aspect brings the ability to endow what we feel passionate about with our creativity — and connect it to a higher love. \u2028\u2028Our animalistic, instinctual\/survival nature is able to connect to compassion and understanding.<\/p>\n We can now bring light to all of our inner dark places; through loving ourselves, we can transform that darkness into the gift of feeling powerfully connected to ourselves. \u2028\u2028As this aspect is taking place in Scorpio<\/strong> and Pisces<\/strong>, we are connecting to our goals and dreams from an emotional place that is deeply spiritual and transformational. 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 Ascendant (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Scorpio, Pisces<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> will be touched in a particularly beautiful way by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or 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 Venus\/Pluto alignment in almost 22 degrees of Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact at 10:16am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday evening on; it will be strong until Sunday evening.<\/strong> This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic business connections with others.<\/p>\n Our instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs \u2013 if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.<\/p>\n What if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear — whenever possible.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer,<\/strong> Aries, <\/strong>or Libra<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n Friday late evening<\/strong>, we are in a state of \u201cflow\u201d and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.<\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> until 10:56pm EST<\/strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).<\/p>\n Saturday early morning<\/strong>, we may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to stay grounded in reality.<\/p>\n Saturday late morning<\/strong>, we may take an all-or-nothing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care \u2014 take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.<\/p>\n Saturday at 10:57am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 12 hours until 10:56pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your need for something familiar against your need for worldly success and status. Since our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged, 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 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 Saturday, late morning until the end of the day, ahead of time.<\/p>\n Saturday at 10:56pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Tuesday very early morning<\/strong> (Dec. 17th). We have a chance to appreciate ourselves and our lives — and to connect to the heart.<\/p>\n Hand out as many compliments as possible, they will be deeply appreciated \ud83d\ude42\u00a0Fun, 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 Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Sunday all day <\/strong>and Monday before 3pm EST,<\/strong> is your last chance to sign up for Monday’s live FORECASTING FORUM.
