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

 <\/p>\n

Monday, Dec. 16th:<\/h3>\n

Monday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>. It will journey there until Tuesday very early morning<\/strong>. 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

Monday very early morning<\/strong>, we are still 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

Monday 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.<\/p>\n

We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most committed to: Are we after laughter and joy? Or building a solid foundation? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.<\/p>\n

Monday early afternoon<\/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.<\/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 drop any self-judgment.<\/p>\n

Monday at 5:10pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 9 hours until 2:16am EST<\/strong> (Tuesday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to feel excited about an adventure. Things flow nicely during this time; you have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.<\/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 late afternoon until Tuesday very early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Also, on Monday<\/strong>, we enter Eclipse season<\/em> until Jan. 24th 2020<\/strong>; for 10 days before and after an Eclipse, we are usually in uncharted territory: anything is possible and it’s wise to expect the unexpected.<\/p>\n

Anything brand-new (and I really mean brand, brand-new) started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after the New Moon that follows the last Eclipse. If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Jan. 24th<\/strong>, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic allow it to be.<\/p>\n

Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it’s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade — that’s a good thing!<\/p>\n

Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete — so as best you can, be patient. This does not mean that we need to drop everything; it just means it’s wise to…<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Dec. 17th:<\/h3>\n

Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in Leo<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 2:16am EST<\/strong>; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Thursday early morning<\/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. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Wednesday late evening).<\/p>\n

Tuesday early 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

Tuesday 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

Tuesday night<\/strong>\/Wednesday very early morning, we are being asked to stretch and grow — to undertake a process of adjusting our thinking. 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

Wednesday, Dec. 18th:<\/h3>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday very early morning for details).<\/p>\n

Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, we seek a balance between head and heart, facts and imagination, reason and intuition\/compassion. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it\u2019s a great day for being of service.<\/p>\n

Wednesday late morning<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to connect to others and go deeper — and perhaps also to take a look at our daily routines to see how empowering they are for us and our intimate\/financial partnerships.<\/p>\n

Also, Wednesday late 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

Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in Virgo<\/strong> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>. Virgo<\/strong> and Capricorn<\/strong> are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. Our increased ability to discern “what’s what” can support us when digging deeper into our motivations around long-term goals. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support us long-term.<\/p>\n

Wednesday late evening, at 11:57pm EST,<\/strong> the last Quarter Moon in 27 degrees of Virgo<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Virgo Tuesday very early morning.<\/strong> The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful and practical Virgo<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. \u2028\u2028This Moon phase brings us closer to Dec. 26th<\/strong>, which will bring the Solar Eclipse in Capricorn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With this particular last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last Eclipse — in this case, around July 2nd<\/strong>. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since July 2nd? What did it mean for you?<\/p>\n

As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-29 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini<\/strong>, or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday, Dec. 19th:<\/h3>\n

Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em>, until 5:04am EST<\/strong> (see Tuesday very 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 early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Thursday early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mars\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:00am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Sunday evening. <\/strong>This aspect is an opportunity to have more self-discipline and self-motivation in our lives;\u00a0we can bring a sharper focus to bear on our work and other activities, coupled with inner drive and a deep desire to succeed.<\/p>\n

We have a chance to face life with depth and maturity. We tend to be more practical than usual, and our progress in most projects is perhaps slow but steady. This can be a very productive time for us but it is important that we source our energy from within. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — this isn’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make the most of it. It’s our choice.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of<\/del> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so,\u00a0you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong> (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday at 5:04am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday morning<\/strong>. The energy of the Libra<\/strong> Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<\/p>\n

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.<\/p>\n

We may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No” \ud83d\ude09 One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<\/p>\n

Thursday late evening<\/strong>, a challenging Mercury\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:19pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday night on, it will remain strong until Saturday night. <\/span><\/strong>This aspect asks us to stretch ourselves and grow.<\/p>\n

We may experience a lack of clarity and objectivity. We might make embarrassing errors, neglect important details, or carry some delusions now.\u00a0Our lack of clarity may make it difficult for others to understand us.<\/p>\n

We are more imaginative now, and easily swayed by the opinions of others. We can be highly creative and inspired under this influence, but also overly sensitive, touchy, or impractical.\u00a0What might a creative approach to life be?<\/p>\n

It can be hard to follow routines. Concentrating on monotonous tasks and work (or study that involves attention to detail or rote learning) may also be challenging at this time. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday, Dec, 20th:<\/h3>\n

Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday early morning for details).<\/p>\n

Friday very early morning, at 1:42am EST<\/strong>, Venus changes signs from productive, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong> to freedom-oriented, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Jan. 13th, 2020<\/strong>. This requires that we provide more freedom in our relationships.<\/p>\n

Basically, we want to improve them, break away from what feels old or stale.<\/p>\n

We want our intellectual qualities to be admired; we also want to connect to like-minded people that share our vision so friendships and networking will be favored for the next 3 weeks<\/strong>. We may consider unusual financial investments. This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology and the internet, metaphysics, the arts group activities.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius<\/strong>? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong>? If so, you may feel the need for freedom or change in your relationships more strongly.<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to connect with others, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?<\/p>\n

Friday afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n

Friday early evening<\/strong>, we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.<\/p>\n

Saturday, Dec. 21st:<\/h3>\n

Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> until 7:57am EST<\/strong> (see Thursday early morning for details).<\/p>\n

Saturday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:14am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will be strong until Sunday evening<\/strong>. It’s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.<\/p>\n

We get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being “good enough”. Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-4 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini,\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong> or 28-<\/del>29 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus<\/strong>, or Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Taurus<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday at 6:45am EST<\/strong>, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 1 hour until 7:57am EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others for collaboration and an exploration of life. How might a wider view support your connections with others?<\/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. Take a break, or sleep in, if you’re able to.<\/p>\n

Saturday at 7:57am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Monday late morning <\/strong>(Dec. 23rd). We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities”.<\/p>\n

Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever… as long as our trust is never betrayed.<\/p>\n

The Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It’s therefore an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.<\/p>\n

Moon in Scorpio<\/strong> tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”. It can therefore be stormy — a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so\u00a0as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.<\/p>\n

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s\u00a0ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n

Saturday late evening, at 11:19pm EST<\/strong>, the Sun changes signs from adventurous, optimistic,\u00a0truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong> to practical, accomplishment-oriented,\u00a0status-oriented\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter — aka the Winter Solstice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.<\/p>\n

The Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> until Jan. 20th, 2020<\/strong>. Capricorn<\/strong> is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.<\/p>\n

We have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us.\u00a0Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.<\/p>\n

All this is especially true if you are a\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn<\/strong>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo<\/strong>, you are more cautious and practical than usual\u2026working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday, Dec. 22nd:<\/h3>\n

Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday morning for details).<\/p>\n

Sunday morning<\/strong>, a challenging Venus\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 8:30am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning <\/strong>(Dec. 25th). This “stretch aspect” asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially our group affiliations and networks of like-minded people.<\/p>\n

Priorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values within our networks; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety — the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances — in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.<\/p>\n

In general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Let me also mention here that Uranus in Taurus<\/strong> is in a mutual reception with Venus in Aquarius<\/strong><\/em>…. which means that they are in each other signs and support each others agenda. This provides an opportunity to bring a common vision and a more human approach to our interactions with others.<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-6 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo<\/strong>, or Scorpio<\/strong> ? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, Sunday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mars\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:32am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday evening <\/strong>(Dec. 25th). This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul’s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.<\/p>\n

This is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it’s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our shared resources with others. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An “opportunity” is just an opening, it’s not automatically granted — we have to “step up” to the opening, then through it…<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Aries<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars’s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunday around 4:30pm EST, <\/strong>the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 19\u00ba of Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>. This phase lasts until next week Wednesday night\/Thursday very early morning when the Solar Eclipse in Capricorn<\/strong> becomes exact (more on that next week\u2026 In the meantime, feel free to watch my video on the subject<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing\/intuition.<\/p>\n

For some of us, this might be a stretch, especially since we are in Eclipse season. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.<\/p>\n

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<\/p>\n

Sunday at 10:27pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 13 hour until 11:34am EST (<\/strong>Monday late morning – Dec. 23rd). Use this intuitive time to take actions on things you feel passionate about, or on projects connected to intimate\/financial partnerships; digging deeper into your own psyche, and allowing yourself to surrender your fears, your need to be in control, or your need to be in power might also be a good use of this time.<\/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 Sunday late evening until the late morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n

And…<\/h2>\n

A heads up for next Monday (Dec. 23rd):<\/strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> and VoC<\/a> until 11:34am EST<\/strong>. In the late morning<\/strong>, a challenging Sun\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 10:17am EST; we started to feel this aspect from Dec. 20th on; it will remain strong until Dec. 26th. At 11:34am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon<\/strong>.

Thursday at 3:07am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 2 hours until 5:04am EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to gain clarity about what’s important to you. Ask yourself:<\/strong> What works for me in my daily routines? What doesn’t? What do I see now, that I can easily implement in my business relationships, that I couldn’t see before?<\/p>\n
