<\/strong>This week’s headline items:<\/strong> Several planets will station (i.e. their rates of progress through the sky slows): Mercury starts its Station phase very early Wednesday and the station intensifies on Saturday, as the planet prepares for its 3-week Retrograde phase; on Friday, Neptune also stations, preparing for its yearly retrograde; Venus starts her station (again), preparing to end her 6 week Retrograde phase. Very early Saturday, the last Quarter Moon in Pisces becomes exact.<\/p>\nThere will be three\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday afternoon (for almost 7 hours); Wednesday late morning (for 19 hours); and Saturday morning (a littler over 8 hours).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are still in Eclipse season <\/strong>until July 20th, so if you haven’t seen our webinar about the Eclipses yet, definitely check it out! There are three Eclipses:<\/strong> a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius<\/strong> <\/em>(was exact on June 5th), a Solar Eclipse in Cancer<\/strong> <\/em>(exact on June 21st), and second Lunar Eclipse<\/em>, this time in Capricorn<\/strong> (exact on July 5th)!<\/p>\n If you want to know how these powerful Lunations are going to impact you personally,<\/strong> get the mp4-video presentation about the current three Eclipses, here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Other than booking a reading<\/a> with me, this is the maximum level of support I offer<\/strong> \u2014 and it\u2019s *only $37<\/a>* for this 120 minute webinar.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday,<\/strong> the Moon remains in ambitious, goal-oriented<\/em> Capricorn<\/strong>.\u00a0 It will journey there until 8:54pm EDT. <\/strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<\/p>\n Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals.\u00a0Our reputation becomes very important to us.<\/p>\n As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I am doing the best I can and that’s all I can ever do” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Saturn is the ruler of\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong> — and\u00a0it will be transiting through Aquarius until July 1st<\/strong>, making this a great time to take a look at our visions for humanity, and at anything we would like to accomplish long-term within our communities (locally or online).<\/p>\n It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our various networks and connections to like-minded people;\u00a0as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations: Do they truly resonate with your personal vision for the future — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Does participation in those groups or networks align with who you are now, and with where you see yourself 5 years from now? What do you truly want to commit yourself to?<\/p>\n Monday early morning<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to soften our need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach. Ask yourself: Where might I be guided, if I trusted my physical and intuitive body to guide me? Could I tune in and listen 5% more to those subtle sensations or messages?<\/p>\n Monday late morning<\/strong>, our focus intensifies — we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task — as best as you can,\u00a0take breaks and don’t forget to practice a little self-care \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Monday at 2:06pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 7 hours until 8:54pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time to grow in your maturity and self-commitment. For long-term success, expand your perspective around your goals — you have the courage now to make a solid commitment — take advantage of the opportunity to work towards something worthwhile.<\/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 afternoon until the late evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday at 8:54pm EDT, <\/strong>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking<\/em> Aquarius,<\/strong> where it will journey\u00a0until Thursday early morning. <\/strong>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.<\/p>\n Social gatherings, anything connected with…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your\u00a0<\/strong>Member’s account<\/strong><\/a>)!<\/strong><\/p>\n GET IT ALL! Get the whole Forecast — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a<\/strong>\u00a0site member<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/strong><\/p>\n *** Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius<\/strong>. Again: we have our eyes on the future — or on outer space \ud83d\ude42 Personal freedom becomes paramount.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking<\/em> Aquarius all day <\/strong>(see Monday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday early afternoon,<\/strong> we may feel pulled in two quite different directions:\u00a0On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with like-minded people and remaining objective; on the other hand, we want to\u00a0make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems.<\/p>\n As such, we may have to address what we value in both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.<\/p>\n Also, Tuesday early afternoon, <\/strong>presents an opportunity to connect with others and engage in a healing process that can bring us progress.<\/p>\n Tuesday afternoon, <\/strong>we feel social and seek connection on a mental level. As best as you can, have stimulating conversations — and allow for unusual connections or conversations.<\/p>\n Tuesday 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 need to connect to like-minded people about our future visions \u2014 and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body, sharing in a loving, nurturing way. <\/p>\n Wednesday,<\/strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking<\/em> Aquarius all day <\/strong>(see Monday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday very early morning,<\/strong> Mercury starts to slow down (\u201cstation\u201d)<\/em> in Cancer<\/strong>, preparing to come to a halt next week, Thursday (June 18th)\u00a0 — when it will begin its 3-week Retrograde phase. More on that next week… This station will last until June 24th<\/strong>, and during this time, we will feel Mercury’s energies more strongly.<\/p>\n Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, family, physical & emotional home, self-care,\u00a0 short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to re-organize yourself once Mercury goes retrograde (June 18th).<\/p>\n For the next 2 weeks<\/strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere — and that goes for the journey itself, too — especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.<\/p>\n Be extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, tablets, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after July 26th<\/strong> when the Post-shadow phase is over.<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 10-17 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday at 10:35am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 19 hours until 5:32am EDT <\/strong>(Thursday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to socialize and connect with others. Great ideas and concepts can be shared right now!<\/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 late morning until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n One last thing I would like to mention for Wednesday<\/strong>: We are 11 days away from the second of the upcoming Eclipses (on June 21st). A Solar Eclipse is a consciousness upgrade. Usually, for 7 – 10 days before and after an Eclipse, we are in uncharted territory; anything is possible and it is wise to expect the unexpected.<\/p>\n Anything started during that time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over. If possible, defer any major new projects until after July 20th<\/strong>, when the Eclipses are over. If you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally,<\/strong> get the mp4-video presentation about the current three Eclipses, here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Eclipses<\/em> also tend to stir up a lot of uncertainty, leaving us nervous, anxious, unsettled, disoriented. As best as you can, stay grounded in the “here and now”;\u00a0if you should feel rushed into something, take a deep breath and connect to your heart, intuition and inner wisdom; this will help carry you through.<\/p>\n To be clear, this does not mean that we need to drop everything — it just means it’s wise to check in with your higher Self (whichever way feels right to you \ud83d\ude09 Just like upgrading a computer, you’ll get all the information you need once the upgrade is complete — so as best you can, allow it to happen (and remember: it’s just temporary).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in <\/em>freedom-loving, forward-thinking<\/em> Aquarius <\/strong>and VoC<\/a>\u00a0until 5:32am EDT; <\/strong>at that time, <\/strong>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive<\/em> Pisces<\/strong>, where it will journey until Saturday late afternoon 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.<\/p>\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. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact Saturday very early morning<\/em>).<\/p>\n Thursday early morning,<\/strong> a challenging Sun\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 5:37am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Sunday evening <\/strong>(June 7th) on; and it will remain strong until this Sunday. <\/strong>This aspect asks\u00a0us to stretch and grow:\u00a0On the one hand we want to use our mind to feel confident and centered, on the other hand, we are compelled to listen to our intuition and let our imagination go wild.<\/p>\n As you can probably guess, we’ll experience more “flow” in areas that favor intuition and imagination, such as creativity or spirituality. If possible, hold off on plans for more “practical” things.<\/p>\n We might feel confused; but we are being asked to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe \u2014 whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).<\/p>\n Seeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to shift from our conditioning to feeling into the truth of who we are?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius,<\/strong> or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo, Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Chiron aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week Sunday evening <\/strong>(June 7th) on; and it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening<\/strong> (June 15th). This is 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.\u00a0As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: How might an honest conversation support my healing journey at this time? Who might I want to have such a conversation with?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of Gemini, Aries, Leo<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/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<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday,<\/strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive<\/em> Pisces all day<\/strong> (see Thursday morning for details). Neptune starts to slow down (station)<\/em> — and will appear to move more slowly through the sky until<\/strong> July 6th<\/strong>. It is getting ready to come to a halt and start it’s 5-month retrograde phase on June 23rd.<\/p>\n A planet’s energies are more exalted during it’s “station period”; this has even more weight for an outer planet, as they move more slowly and their stations last much longer. This Neptune station is particularly strong, since it occurs in Pisces<\/strong>, its own sign.<\/p>\n Neptune represents things like universal love, our inner divinity, spirituality, inspiration, compassion, faith — plus creative and imaginative realms such as music or film — while the shadow side is confusion, illusion and escapism of all kinds. We start to be aware of all those energies more fully in our lives.<\/p>\n This awareness helps us to connect more fully to those energies as they exist within us. We can then see where we need to either embrace them more fully, or connect to them in a healthy way, that doesn’t involve getting lost in the murky lower vibrations of their expression.<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with a\u00a0Pisces<\/strong> Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) — and those of us with personal planets and points in 18-23 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n Friday late evening<\/strong>, we are invited to take actions that inspire connectedness and creativity. What actions could you take? We are also invited to “tune in” before taking any action: What feels right to you in this very moment?<\/p>\n Also, Friday late evening<\/strong>, we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.<\/p>\n Also on Friday,<\/strong>\u00a0Venus starts to slow down again (station)<\/em> — the planet\u2019s movement through the sky appears from Earth to be slowing down; it\u2019s actually getting ready to come to a halt (and moving direct) on June 25th. The station brings all relationship, self-worth and financial issues to the forefront.<\/p>\n This stationing period lasts until July 7th<\/strong>, bringing into focus what we do and don\u2019t have; until then, we are more aware of our relationships or the lack thereof. This forces us to look at who we value (including ourselves) and at what is truly important to us on a Soul-level. It\u2019s important to pay attention now, because when Venus goes direct again, we\u2019ll get a chance to address and resolve all these issues.<\/p>\n Is your Sun sign or Ascendant in Taurus<\/strong> or Libra<\/strong>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-8 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Virgo<\/strong>, or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will feel a stronger connection to this Venus station.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in creative, sensitive<\/em> Pisces<\/strong> until 5:03pm EDT<\/strong> (see Thursday early morning for details).<\/p>\n Saturday at 2:24am EDT,<\/strong> the last Quarter Moon in almost 23 degrees of Pisces<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. The Moon in creative, sensitive Pisces<\/strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in versatile, fast-thinking Gemini<\/strong><\/em>. This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed — and what needs to be changed.<\/p>\n This Moon phase brings us closer to the next New Moon in Cancer<\/strong>, which is also a Solar Eclipse! (on June 21st). With the 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 Dec. 26th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 26th? What did it mean for you?<\/p>\n As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up between yourself and others — and for any internal conflicts.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-25 degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo<\/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 Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday at 8:45am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC)<\/a> that lasts for almost 8.5 hours until 5:03pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to be wholly present; also to bring an expansive perspective to your current relationship to self-mastery. This is a great time to be looking for practical advice around your long-term goals. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings, and allow yourself to take it one step at a 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 Saturday late morning until late afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Saturday late morning,<\/strong> a Mars\/Neptune alignment in almost 21 degrees of<\/em> Pisces<\/strong> becomes exact at 10:13am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this Monday evening on; and it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday evening <\/strong>(June 17th). This might contribute to feeling either a lack of physical energy, or a need to connect to spiritual or creative endeavors.<\/p>\n As best as you can, be patient with your energy levels for these 10 days; go with the flow whenever you can, and, just for now, see what it would feel like to let go of wanting to be “the first and the best”.<\/p>\n This is definitely a highly imaginative time. The highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; the lower level vibration is about not seeing reality clearly (or wanting to avoid it altogether) — because it may be to painful to accept as it is. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy. Check in with others (or Source) when creating new goals for yourself during this transit: get reality checks!<\/p>\n Remember:<\/strong> the more we fight against any energy pattern, the more we will experience its lowest vibration. As best as you can, let go and let flow \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/strong> or Sagittarius<\/strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. 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 is the ruler of Pisces)<\/em><\/p>\n Saturday at 5:03pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced<\/em> Aries<\/strong> where it will journey until next week, Tuesday morning<\/strong> (June 16th). 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 exercising, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced<\/em> Aries<\/strong> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday late afternoon for details).<\/p>\n Sunday very early morning<\/strong>, Mercury’s Station phase intensifies<\/em> until June 21st<\/strong>, as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Thursday- June 18th (starting its 3-week retrograde phase). During this intensified Station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies even more strongly (see Wednesday for more info).<\/p>\n For the<\/strong> next 7 days<\/strong>, we need to be even more patient with ourselves and others — especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.<\/p>\n We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready, or travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <\/a>click here).<\/strong><\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of this Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 12-17 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, <\/strong>or Libra. Sunday late evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Sun\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 9:58pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from this morning <\/strong>(Sunday) on; and it will remain strong until Monday evening <\/strong>(June 15th). <\/strong>We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.<\/p>\n This might concern compromising with others. Our fear of being manipulated might make us stubborn, or it might make us manipulative ourselves. As best as you can, keep choosing the “better” alternative\/the higher road, adjusting as needed.<\/p>\n We might be forced to focus, time and again, on details we would prefer to ignore. When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can’t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of Gemini<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo, Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n A heads up for next Monday<\/strong> (June 15th), the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries <\/strong><\/em>all day<\/strong> (see Saturday afternoon for details).Before we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:<\/h3>\n

<\/del> At 8:49pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost
