\nAstrology Forecast for Mon., Sept. 4th – Sun., Sept. 10th, 2017 –\u00a0Personally, I found last week emotionally, mentally and physically challenging… Seemed like there was so much going on, yet so little progress to show for it. I’m asking myself what else is calling to be transformed? Acknowledged? What else wants to be seen, made conscious? I have to admit, I am exhausted! Did you also feel like the Universe turned up the volume on us last week, so we can see, hear and feel it all more clearly?<\/span><\/p>\n
Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have one quick announcement:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

This week’s headline items:\u00a0<\/b>On Tuesday evening, Mars changes signs from Leo to Virgo and Mercury comes to a halt.<\/b>The Full Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Wednesday, very early in the morning. Later in the week, Mercury re-enters Virgo (on Saturday, late evening) and the Mercury station ends on Sunday.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
There will also be four\u00a0Moon VoC phases<\/a>\u00a0this week: Monday night\/Tuesday very early morning (for 13 minutes), Wednesday afternoon (for 15.5 hours), Saturday late morning (for 30 minutes), and Sunday evening (for a little over 18.5 hours).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/i><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Monday (September 4th)<\/b>:\u00a0the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking\u00a0<\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b><\/i>all day.\u00a0<\/b>It will journey there\u00a0until Tuesday very early morning<\/b>.\u00a0<\/b>With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it’s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates — preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
For the next couple of days, we’ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs… indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren’t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Most of\u00a0Monday<\/b>\u00a0will feel easy and socially active… Good news for those of us who live in the US: enjoy your Labor Day Holiday \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
On\u00a0Monday evening,\u00a0<\/b>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.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Monday night<\/b>\/Tuesday very early morning\u00a0at 1:15am EDT,\u00a0<\/b>we enter a brief\u00a0Moon void of course (VoC)<\/a>. that lasts for 13 minutes\u00a0until 1:28am EDT<\/b>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to take a break — and allow for a balance between pursuing your vision and following your playful heart in the present.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Also on\u00a0Monday night<\/b>\/Tuesday very early morning\u00a0<\/b>a Sun\/Neptune opposition becomes<\/b> exact at 1:28am EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Friday.\u00a0<\/b>Having a balance between logic and intuition — between what we know and what we feel — is essential at this time. We need to gain clarity over our dreams and come to understand that we can only improve our current situation through forgiveness and love.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
The mind will play an important role during this time: Provided they make sense to you, choices that connect you to your heart will help you succeed. It’s also important to give up being “right” and thereby allow flow. As best as you can, trust your intuition and practice self-compassion \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a0<\/i>10-16 degrees<\/i>\u00a0of\u00a0Virgo, Pisces, Gemini\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Sagittarius<\/i><\/b>?\u00a0If so, you will feel this opposition quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Pisces\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune rules Pisces).<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Tuesday (Sept. 5th) at 1:28am EDT<\/b>,\u00a0the Moon moves into creative, sensitive\u00a0<\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>where it will journey\u00a0until Thursday morning.<\/b><\/b>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.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\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.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\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.<\/b>This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Tuesday night\/Wednesday very early morning).\u00a0Click here to watch my Full Moon video<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Tuesday at 5:35am EDT,\u00a0<\/b>Mars changes signs from fun-loving, risk-taking\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0to detail-oriented, practical, service-oriented\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>,<\/i>\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until Oct. 22nd<\/b>. With Mars in Virgo, we are more inclined to put our energy towards a project that takes care of our day-to-day, practical matters or health issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Creating order in our daily lives and knowing what’s coming next is easier for us now. We are better at organizing, planning on a short-term scale, and doing errands at this time. We may feel that we do things better than others right now; therefore we may not give others a chance to improve their skills or show us a different way of doing something.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
As best as you can, keep the focus on yourself and watch out for impatient outbursts or for the need to be right at all cost. Be of service to others, and remember that perfection is not a goal, it is a journey.\u00a0How can you move towards improving things in your life, rather than having things be perfect all the time?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
If you have an\u00a0<\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign,\u00a0you are going to feel more focused on details and health issues. If you are a\u00a0<\/i>Virgo\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized and passionate for the next 6.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise, a work or health project might be advisable.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
Tuesday at 7:29am EDT<\/b>,\u00a0<\/b>Mercury comes to a halt in 28 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>,<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0slowly starts its direct motion<\/i>,\u00a0<\/i>after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now — you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase\u2026more on that later.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
We are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3\u00a0weeks?\u00a0How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to daily routines\/health routines or self-expression and joy?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by\u00a0Sept. 10th<\/b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with\u00a0<\/i>Gemini\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Virgo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in the following: 27-29 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or 0-3 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo,\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Pisces<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
As you may recall, I mentioned\u00a0Mercury shadow phases<\/i>\u00a0in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it’s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular\u00a0shadow phase ends on\u00a0Sept. 19th<\/b>.\u00a0Click here to read my blog on the subject<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Tuesday early evening,\u00a0<\/b>a somewhat challenging Venus\/Neptune aspect<\/i><\/b>becomes exact at 5:33pm EDT.\u00a0We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening.\u00a0<\/b>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 in order to see what needs adjusting.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
A lot of this discomfort centers around “unrealism” — we tend to idealize romantic and financial interactions, but at the same time, our sense that we’re doing exactly that leaves us uncomfortable. This applies to ourselves too; it’s easy for us to incorrectly appraise who we are, and where we’re going.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
We might also get confused when we can’t complete things. The key is genuine self-acceptance (limitations and all): as we allow that, our range of love expression increases.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It’s also worthwhile to look at how our ideas are received by others: Can we involve them in our dreams? As best as you can, slow down: “If a thing is worth having, it’s worth waiting for.” Just for right now, could you simply have faith that everything will align eventually?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in\u00a0<\/i>12-14 degrees<\/i>\u00a0of\u00a0<\/i>Leo\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Pisces<\/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<\/i>\u00a0Taurus, Libra\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or\u00a0<\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
