This week\u2019s headline items<\/strong>: Mercury opposes the Lunar Eclipse degree of 8.5\u00ba of Gemini very early Monday morning; the last Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday evening; Chiron\u2019s Station intensifies on Wednesday; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Friday early morning; Sunday is the last day before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact.<\/p>\nThere will be three Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for 1.5 hours), Thursday evening (for an hour) and Saturday late evening (for a brief 41 minutes).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you missed my Forecasting Forum<\/strong>\u2026 and still would like to learn how the upcoming planetary movements in December and beyond<\/em> are impacting you personally<\/strong>\u2026 feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation about “<\/em>Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction in Aquarius<\/strong>, Dec. 2020″<\/em> — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…<\/p>\n To purchase this webinar, click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Star Members:<\/strong> check your email for the link to the mp4-video recording and enjoy watching it! I sent it out on Dec. 6th late evening \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday<\/strong>, Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong>. It will journey there until Tuesday evening<\/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.\u00a0This Moon placement started the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact later today<\/em>).<\/p>\n Monday, very early morning, around 3am EST,<\/strong> Mercury in Sagittarius <\/strong>transits the degree of Nov. 30th’s Lunar Eclipse in <\/em>Gemini-Sagittarius<\/em> <\/strong>—\u00a0\u00a0and we may experience something that provides insight, most likely around our relationship to communication. We are invited to listen to how we perceive and say things, and to communicate or share something that helps us connect to others, rather than leaving us feeling superior to them.<\/p>\n Observe how this plays out for you today<\/strong>: Where (or with whom) are you looking to connect? What are you most aware of? You are invited to process and share any outdated beliefs or cultural conditioning. What conversations might clear the way, so you can move forward powerfully, with an open mind and clear information?<\/p>\n Monday very early 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 Monday morning<\/strong>, 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 Monday evening, at 7:37pm EST<\/strong>, the last Quarter Moon in 16.5 degrees of Virgo<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Virgo, last week, Sunday afternoon<\/strong> (Dec. 6th). 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. 14th, which will bring a powerful New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in Sagittarius<\/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 June 21st. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What — if anything — needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since June 21st? 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 14-19 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini<\/strong>, or\u00a0Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you will feel… ***<\/strong><\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your Member\u2019s account<\/a>)!<\/strong><\/p>\n GET IT ALL! <\/strong>Get the whole Forecast \u2014 as well as other awesome and exclusive content \u2014become a site member<\/a> <\/strong>(still, for the price of a cappuccino!)<\/p>\n *** Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-19 degrees of Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini<\/strong>, or\u00a0Pisces<\/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 <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/strong><\/em> until 7:01pm EST<\/strong> (see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday at 5:35pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 1.5 hours until 7:01pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to look at the details, and focus on what’s sitting right in front of you that demands to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.<\/p>\n As best as you can, look at all the practical implications; slow down and take your time if you want to manifest something that can stand the test of time. 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 Tuesday late afternoon until the evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 7:01pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Thursday late evening<\/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 <\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday evening for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday morning<\/strong>, calls for some inner adjustments, as 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, we want to innovate in the area of our values (and maybe also have some financial breakthroughs); on the other hand, the feel the need to attend to our one-on-one relationships, supporting them (and perhaps collaborating).<\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon<\/strong>, a challenging Sun\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 2:41pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week Sunday <\/strong>(Dec. 6th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening<\/strong> (Dec. 12th). This aspect asks us to stretch and grow: On 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 — especially since Neptune is still stationing (and thus exalted) — and will be until Dec. 18th<\/strong>, when it will reach its normal speed once more.<\/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 cultural conditioning to feeling into the truth of who we are?<\/p>\n \u2028\u2028Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 15-21 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius, Pisces,\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong>\u00a0(the Sun rules Leo, Neptune rules Pisces).<\/em><\/p>\n Also, Wednesday<\/strong>, Chiron station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of Aries<\/strong><\/em>. Since Chiron comes to a halt next week, Tuesday<\/strong> (Dec. 15th); we will feel the effects of this intensified Station phase until Dec. 22nd<\/strong>. As mentioned in last week’s forecast already, Chiron’s energies are more exalted during this period.<\/p>\n Chiron is the Wounded Healer; in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>, our attention is\u00a0turned towards our physical and sexual wounds, and our wounding around our self-identity.\u00a0Chiron 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, and bringing healing compassion for similar wounds in others, ultimately helps us in our own healing process.<\/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? What needs your compassion or even your love? What needs to heal? What might a non-judgmental (and unique) approach in this area of your life bring to that healing journey?<\/p>\n For those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to check out my Chiron Workshop: “Healing with Astrology”<\/strong>. Everyone who joins my online community can get automatically access to the mp3-recording of this workshop. Click here for more info.\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>If you already have access to this workshop, go to My Courses.<\/a><\/p>\n Those of us with personal planets and points (ASC or MC) in 3-7 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, <\/strong>or Capricorn<\/strong> you will feel this station more strongly.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra<\/strong><\/em> until 8:59pm EST<\/strong> (see Tuesday evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday morning<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Pluto aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:52am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday evening on; it will be strong until\u00a0Friday evening<\/strong>. This aspect brings an opportunity for new insights into relationships and love. There is a chance for strong physical attractions.<\/p>\n This could be a powerful and uplifting time for our romantic relationships — and for our pocketbook.\u00a0Remember: this is an “opportunity” — opportunities aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 21-26 degrees of 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 Taurus, Libra<\/strong> or Scorpio<\/strong> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday at 7:56pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for an hour until 8:59pm EST<\/strong>. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<\/p>\n Make space both for looking 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 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 evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Thursday at 8:59am EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Saturday late evening<\/strong>. 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 <\/p>\n Friday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Friday very early morning<\/strong>, it\u2019s full speed ahead, as a harmonious Sun\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 1:01am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last week, Sunday evening <\/strong>(Dec.6th) on; it will be strong until next week, Tuesday<\/strong> (Dec. 15th). This aspect lets us know that if we bring conscious awareness to our actions and create enthusiasm and passion for a project, we can potentially create something brand-new that has never been seen before.<\/p>\n It also brings a flow of physical stimulation that we can easily turn into a new exercise regime. We have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in expanding ourselves and seem to be in love with life.<\/p>\n When we express or experience competitiveness or courage, it’s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good physical vitality during this transit.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, <\/strong> or Leo<\/strong>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in Leo<\/strong> or Aries<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)<\/em><\/p>\n Friday early morning<\/strong>, we are invited to make some inner adjustments: we feel uneasy or awkward, and need to make a choice — a choice that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: On the one hand, we have the urge to go deeper and connect with others; on the other hand,\u00a0we are more aware of triggers and limitations connected to old childhood wounds.<\/p>\n As best as you can, be compassionate and understanding with yourself when feelings of anger come up (and even if shame follows expressions of that anger). Ask yourself: How might 5% more compassion support my relationship with myself and others today?<\/p>\n Friday morning<\/strong>, we are invited to examine our relationship to money, power, and resources (personal and shared). Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for a deeper, more empowered experience with others, against my wish to honor my personal values and desire for freedom?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> until 9:39pm EST<\/strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Saturday at 8:58pm EST<\/strong>, we enter a brief Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 41 minutes until 9:39pm EST<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to dig deeper — and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of empowerment and focus to your business dealings, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about.<\/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 evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Saturday at 9:39pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until next week, Monday late evening<\/strong> (Dec. 14th). We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re\u00a0not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.<\/p>\n We tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired — but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders.\u00a0Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.<\/p>\n As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you.\u00a0Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just watch out you aren’t overdoing or overstating things.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Saturday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Sunday is the last day <\/em><\/strong>before the Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius <\/strong><\/em>becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed. Feel free to watch my video about this powerful New Moon\/Solar Eclipse<\/a>, if you haven’t seen it yet \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n This is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.<\/p>\n It comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can… could you simply allow what is… to be? Could you simply be the \u201cobserver\u201d until the upgrade is complete?<\/p>\n Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to June 21st \u2014 the time of the last Solar Eclipse. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?<\/p>\n As best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse<\/strong> for meditation, contemplation, journaling \u2014 anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.<\/p>\n Of course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself:<\/strong> What might become possible if I gave this to myself on a regular basis?<\/p>\n Sunday early morning<\/strong>, we might find ourselves wanting to explore a new healing modality for body, mind, and heart, aimed at renewing our enthusiasm for life. We are capable of being compassionate and forgiving with ourselves at this time — and a gentle and holistic approach is best.<\/p>\n Sunday morning<\/strong>, a challenging Mercury\/Neptune aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 6:38am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday<\/strong> on; it will be strong until next week, Tuesday<\/strong> (Dec. 15th). 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. Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces<\/strong>, 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 Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo<\/strong> or Pisces<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces). Sunday late morning<\/strong>, we experience a need for 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 mentally explore and go beyond what we already know \u2014 and on the other hand, the need for breakthroughs or change connected to the physical plane.<\/p>\n We need to ask ourselves here: What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable? Or 5% more comfortable embracing uncertainty?<\/p>\n A heads up for next Monday (Dec. 14th)<\/strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius <\/strong><\/em>until<\/strong> 10:35pm EST<\/strong> (see Saturday late evening- Dec. 12th for details). In the late morning<\/strong>, at 11:17am EST<\/strong>, the New Moon (Solar Eclipse) in 23 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. Also, at 11:17am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 18 hours until 10:35pm EST<\/strong>. In the afternoon<\/strong>, an opportune Venus\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 3:58pm EST; we started to feel this aspect from\u00a0Dec. 12th on; it will be strong\u00a0until\u00a0Dec. 16th. At 10:35pm EST<\/strong>, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Dec. 17th<\/strong> (Wednesday early morning). In the late morning<\/strong>, it\u2019s full speed ahead (again), as a harmonious Mercury\/Mars aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 11:24pm EST, we started to feel this aspect from Dec. 12th on; it will be strong until Dec. 17th<\/strong> . More about all the details in next week\u2019s forecast \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Join me for the next FORECASTING FORUM, on Friday, January 8th<\/strong> at 2pm EST<\/strong>\/11am PST\/7pm GMT. Please note<\/strong> that we\u2019ll take a look ahead and see what 2021 has in store for us.<\/p>\n What can we expect with a potent Saturn\/Uranus Square in Aquarius\/Taurus <\/strong>for most of 2021? What happens when Mars joins in, by transiting through Taurus,<\/strong> Leo <\/strong>and Scorpio<\/strong> — in January, July and November 2021? What will be different for us with Jupiter & Saturn in Aquarius<\/strong> for most of the year?<\/p>\nBefore we get to this week\u2019s forecast, I\u2019d like to mention:<\/h3>\n
