This week’s headline items:<\/strong> Mercury continues to move through its pre-Shadow phase all week (in fact, until Feb. 16th) and changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces Monday morning. Venus changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Friday afternoon; the Full Moon in Leo becomes exact on Sunday very early morning.<\/p>\nThere will be four Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday morning (for a brief minute), Wednesday mid morning (for a little over 4.5 hours), Friday late morning (for 7 hours), and Sunday late morning (for 7.5 hours).<\/p>\n Last chance to\u00a0sign up for this week\u2019s Forecasting Forum!<\/strong> Live this Sunday, February 9th at 11:30am EST<\/strong>\/8:30am PST\/4:30pm GMT.<\/p>\n Please note that<\/strong> we\u2019ll take a look at the upcoming Mercury Retrograde in Pisces<\/strong><\/em> (Feb. 16th – March 9th), and Mars’s transit through Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> (Feb. 16th – March 30th) — in relationship to our own birth charts.\u2028 How can you get more in tune with your higher Self?

Where it will journey until 6:29am EST<\/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. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Monday at 6:28am EST<\/strong>, we enter a very brief Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for only one minute until 6:29 EST; at that time<\/strong>, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon<\/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… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Monday at 6:37am EST<\/strong>, Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius<\/strong> to creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong><\/em>. It will journey through Pisces until March 4th<\/strong>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next four weeks<\/strong> we get a chance to communicate with compassion — we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.<\/p>\n We seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time — if we allow that energy to come through — and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.<\/p>\n The key with this energy is to remain in the \u201chere and now\u201d and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.<\/p>\n Mercury in Pisces<\/strong> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings, or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items.<\/p>\n For the next four weeks, ask yourself: Am I ready to connect to my intuition more fully? Could I allow for the unfolding process, trusting my higher Self more fully?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.<\/em><\/p>\n Lastly, on Monday late afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Saturn aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:01pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday. <\/strong>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them. We have a chance to combine compassion and gentleness with realism and maturity.<\/p>\n On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There’s no need to rush anything — instead,\u00a0tune into your intuitive side and\u00a0think things through carefully and responsibly — do your “due diligence” and stay open-hearted. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to “take” it. Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER?

Get the whole Forecast — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a site member<\/a> (still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n *** Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of Pisces, Capricorn<\/strong>, 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 Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra <\/strong>or Capricorn<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday late morning<\/strong>, we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward being expansive and gaining a new perspective on the things we have been building long-term.<\/p>\n Also, Tuesday late morning<\/strong>, we are asked to connect with like-minded people, share our vision, and exchange information with them.<\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon<\/strong>, 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 Tuesday night<\/strong>\/Wednesday very early morning, we are invited to balance our desire for sharing and gathering information with our desire to go beyond learned knowledge and take actions to tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow and expand mentally, physically or spiritually.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini<\/strong><\/em> until 2:03pm EST<\/strong> (see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday 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 Wednesday early morning<\/strong>, an opportune Mercury\/Uranus aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 4:43am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on, it will remain strong until Thursday. <\/strong>This brings an opportunity for insight and novelty. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.<\/p>\n This aspect also brings an opportunity to see things from a different perspective, or to put a new spin on our “old” thinking structure. We like to connect in unusual ways and any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights — this might be a busy day. As best as you can — and as much as you want to — stay open to other dimensions \ud83d\ude09 Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-5 degrees of Pisces, Taurus<\/strong>, Cancer<\/strong>, or Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 9:20am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 4.5 hours until 2:03pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connecting with compassion from the heart — or for connecting via the mind.<\/p>\n You may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to your intuitive or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.<\/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 mid morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Wednesday, at 2:03pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Friday early 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 Wednesday 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 <\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Thursday until midnight<\/strong>, you still have a chance to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for this week’s Forecasting Forum! For more info about this webinar and to register now, click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thursday afternoon<\/strong>, we are invited to balance our need for what’s familiar and feels comfortable against our desire to tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow in our career goals and expand our dealings out there in the world.<\/p>\n Thursday evening<\/strong>, we are in a state of \u201cflow\u201d and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.<\/p>\n Thursday late evening<\/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 like-minded people that share our vision \u2014 and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains protective, nurturing Cancer<\/strong><\/em> until 5:45pm EST<\/strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Friday at 10:43am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 7 hours until 5:45pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to\u00a0 find a balance between your emotional needs (i.e. self-care), versus your focus on long-term goals — or your reputation out there in the world.<\/p>\n You may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others.\u00a0This 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\u00a0stay grounded in reality.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a>, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late morning until the early evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Friday afternoon, at 3:02pm EST<\/strong>, Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative,\u00a0dreamy\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active\u00a0Aries<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until March 4th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Until March<\/strong> 4th, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal \ud83d\ude09\u00a0With Venus in Aries, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You\u2019re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don’t make it too easy for others to win you over \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n If you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and “other parts of the house” \ud83d\ude09 We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.<\/p>\n All this is especially true if you are a\u00a0Taurus, Libra<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an\u00a0Aries<\/strong>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Libra<\/strong>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.<\/em><\/p>\n Friday at 5:45pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Sunday early evening<\/strong>. We have a chance to appreciate ourselves and our lives — and to connect to the heart. Hand out as many compliments as possible, they will be deeply appreciated \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you squeak just thinking about it? This Moon placement starts the build up toward the Full Moon (exact Sunday very early morning<\/em>).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Friday early evening for details).<\/p>\n Saturday all day, <\/strong>and tomorrow (Sunday) until 10:30am EST,<\/strong> is your last chance to sign up for Sunday’s FORECASTING FORUM (if you are not already a Star Member). If you want to join live<\/strong>, please know that registration closes an hour before the live event begins. If you register after 10:30am EST on Sunday, you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the live event.<\/p>\n Please note that<\/strong> we\u2019ll talk about the first Mercury Retrograde phase of the year<\/em> in Pisces\/Aquarius<\/strong> (starting Feb 16th) See top of the page for more details, or register here<\/a> Star Members,<\/strong> check your emails on Saturday afternoon<\/strong> for the link to join!

Please email us right away<\/strong> if you don’t see the Forecasting Forum emails anywhere: info@AstrologerCoach.com<\/a><\/p>\n Saturday early morning<\/strong>, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, we experience a strong desire to communicate and connect on an intuitive or spiritual level; on the other, we feel the need for play and fun.<\/p>\n We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel divinely connected to, that subtle inner voice that whispers to us… the question here becomes: are we after laughter and joy? Or gentle inner exploration and divine union? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.<\/p>\n Saturday evening<\/strong>: we are invited to make some more internal adjustments — we may want to have some fun, but also explore our long-term goals and accomplishments.<\/p>\n Saturday late evening<\/strong>, 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? Again, some inner internal adjustments may be necessary here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo<\/strong><\/em> until 6:39pm EST<\/strong> (see Friday early evening for details).<\/p>\n Sunday very early morning, at 2:33am EST<\/strong>, the Moon opposes the Sun\u00a0in 20 degrees of\u00a0Leo<\/strong><\/em> — and this month’s Full Moon becomes exact. As mentioned above, Friday early evening saw the entrance of the Moon into\u00a0Leo,\u00a0starting the energetic build up toward the\u00a0Full Moon<\/strong>; relationships of all kinds are highlighted.<\/p>\n All Full Moons\u00a0offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light; they also guide us away from polarization and division, toward\u00a0balance and integration.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> How far have I come since setting Intentions back on January 24th’s New Moon?<\/p>\n With the Sun in\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong> until Feb. 18th,<\/strong> we seek balance, being more aware than ever that something needs aligning; the balance in question is between the\u00a0Aquarius-Leo\u00a0polarity.<\/strong> As a Member of my online community,\u00a0if you\u2019d like to learn more about this month’s Full Moon, click here to watch my video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian vision is one of interconnected equality \u2014 paradoxically, we’re reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity.\u00a0Leo<\/strong>, on the other hand, is all about our individual self-expression, creativity, our ability to actively connect to the heart, and our inner joy.<\/p>\n This Full Moon<\/em> is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore the lighter\/higher vibrations of Leo<\/strong> — a courageous, optimistic, and self-expressed sign.\u00a0 Leo<\/strong> represents our capacity to love, and our willpower. It is the quest to live from our center, our core, our truth — with joy in our heart.<\/p>\n This Full Moon reminds us that everyone has the power to make a difference in the world (whether small or large), and when we join together, that power grows exponentially. Ask yourself:<\/strong> How could I best honor both my individual self-expression and my interconnectedness with the world? How am I adding my voice (in small ways and large)?<\/p>\n But first, as with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side<\/em> to be discussed — let’s take a look at the shadow of both signs<\/em> involved in this Full Moon — and\u00a0please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace.<\/p>\n Aquarius’s shadow side<\/strong> might show up as… \u00a0To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s Full Moon, click here.<\/a> (will be available at the very latest by Feb. 3rd)<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of\u00a0Leo, Aquarius, Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this month’s Full Moon.\u00a0This 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 Sunday at 11:08am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 7.5 hours until 6:39pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to get excited about an adventures: you have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.<\/p>\nBefore we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
