Where it will journey until Tuesday late evening.<\/strong> We feel things deeply and have “X-Ray Vision” and “Bullshit-Smelling Abilities” \ud83d\ude09<\/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<\/b> 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<\/b> 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 ultimately what disempowers us and others.<\/p>\n Monday early morning,<\/b> we are invited to make 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 be mentally stimulated, and share ourselves with others \u2014 and on the other, the need to merge with another and feel deeply and intimately connected to them. (Moon in <\/i>Scorpio<\/i><\/b> quincunxes Sun in <\/i>Gemini<\/i><\/b>, exact at 4:28am EDT)<\/p>\n Monday early evening, <\/b>we are also invited to make some inner adjustments: we need to 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, we 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? (Moon in <\/i>Scorpio<\/i><\/b> quincunxes Chiron in <\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b>, exact at 5:54pm EDT)<\/p>\n Also on, Monday early evening,<\/b> 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? (Moon in <\/i>Scorpio<\/i><\/b> opposes Uranus in <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b>, exact at 6:15pm EDT)<\/p>\n Monday evening,<\/b> we feel a need to focus on our commitments to our online and local communities, but also a need for deep, authentic — even intimate — connections to others. As best as you can, make adjustments and watch out for…<\/p>\n ***<\/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 (Monday through Sunday) \u2014 as well as other awesome and exclusive content \u2014become a site member<\/a> <\/strong>(still, for the price of a cappuccino!)<\/p>\n *** As best as you can, make adjustments and watch out for becoming rigid, stressed, or anxious. Ask yourself: What if I took just 5% of the pressure off? What if I approached my connections out there in the world 5% less seriously? (Moon in <\/i>Scorpio <\/i><\/b>squares Saturn in <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>, exact at 8:35pm EDT)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio<\/strong><\/em> until 10:39pm EDT<\/strong> (see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday until midnight<\/strong>, is your last chance to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for the upcoming Forecasting Forum. PLEASE NOTE we’ll talk about the upcoming Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse<\/em> in Sagittarius <\/strong>(May 26th), Solar Eclipse<\/em> in Gemini<\/strong> (June 10th), Jupiter’s brief transit through Pisces<\/strong><\/em> (from May 13th – July 28th), and Mercury’s Retrograde phase<\/em> in Gemini <\/strong>(May 29th – June 22nd).– in relationship to our own birth charts!<\/p>\n To ask a question in advance<\/strong>; please email me<\/a> by May 27th<\/strong>,… and if I don’t have it yet,<\/em> send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it. If none of this applies to you, send me a pdf of your birth chart).<\/p>\n => To register for this month only, click here<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n (Please keep in mind:<\/strong> Star Members<\/em> are automatically registered and will receive an email with the link to join live on May 27th in the afternoon and on May 28th, an hour before the live event begins. Please email me right away if you are not receiving your emails).<\/p>\n Tuesday at 5:20pm EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon VoC<\/span><\/a> that will last for a little over 5 hours, until 10:39pm EDT.<\/b> Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about out there in the world — you have an opportunity to become fully committed to a project or task now — something that might serve you long-term.<\/p>\n As always with a\u00a0Moon VoC<\/span><\/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 evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Tuesday at 10:39pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into <\/em>optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <\/i><\/span>Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, where it will journey until Thursday late evening<\/strong>. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not 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 — and taking these two influences together, this means we’d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring 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. Improvisation 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. This Moon placement starts the build up towards a powerful Super Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse<\/a> (exact tomorrow morning<\/em>).<\/p>\n Also on, Tuesday<\/strong>, Mercury’s Station intensifies<\/i>, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Saturday early evening (beginning its 3.5-week Retrograde phase). As I mentioned last week Tuesday already, during the station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies more strongly. It will remain at its most intensifies until June 4th.<\/b><\/p>\n Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury has ended its Retrograde phase (to be more precise, during the Shadow phase that follows).<\/p>\n Here are some questions you could ask yourself during the Mercury Station phase<\/b>: Does my mind want to jump around all over the place? Am I feeling mentally scattered? Nervous? Am I over-thinking? Am I trying to be in constant mental movement or stimulation? What information is truly needed right now?<\/p>\n What would it be like to connect and communicate only what is essential? What will get me 1% closer to that, right here and now?<\/p>\n For the next 10 days<\/b>, 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, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after July 7th<\/strong>, when Mercury’s second Shadow phase is over.<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others<\/i>: those of us who have <\/i>Gemini<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 22-26 degrees of <\/i>Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Pisces.<\/i><\/b><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in <\/em>optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <\/i><\/span>Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n On\u00a0Wednesday, May 26th at 7:14am EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0a powerful Full Moon in 5.5 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. We started to feel this from the moment the Moon entered Sagittarius Tuesday late evening.<\/b> This is a Total Lunar Eclipse<\/em> of a SuperMoon<\/em> (i.e., the Moon is closer to the Earth than normal) and as such, this Full Moon\u2019s energy is unusually intense.<\/p>\n Even apart from that, there is a lot to cover with this Eclipse \u2014 it is connected to a mutable T-square, with Jupiter as the Focal Point,<\/em> and it has two Stationing planets<\/em>: Saturn in Aquarius<\/strong> & Mercury in Gemini<\/strong>!<\/p>\n If you are already a Member of my online community,<\/strong>\u00a0you can learn more about this month\u2019s Super Full Moon\/Lunar Eclipse by clicking here to watch my video on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n Lunar Eclipses<\/em> direct our attention to whatever needs to be integrated and balanced, both on the collective and individual levels, over a longer period of time (usually 5.5 months). Get ready for some big shifts in your life, especially around your relationship with your own belief structures, and around your ability to learn, remain adaptable, and use your \u201cday-to-day mind\u201d intelligently.<\/p>\n Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind: Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul\u2019s path.<\/p>\n This is the second Lunar Eclipse<\/em> in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0since the Moon Nodes<\/em> moved into\u00a0Gemini\/Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0back on May 5th, 2020<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0and the Moon Nodes play a crucial role during Eclipses!\u00a0Feel free to also check out my webinar on those Moon Nodes<\/a>\u00a0(if you haven\u2019t seen it yet).\u00a0We talk about the connection to our own birth charts\u2026 and it\u2019s currently available at a discount<\/strong>!<\/p>\n The last Lunar Eclipse in\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0in the same degree as this one<\/em> was on May 26th, 2002.<\/strong> Think back to that time<\/strong>: What shifts in perspective happened then? What is possible now?<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a closer look at\u00a0this Lunar Eclipse:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(which is itself aligned with the South Node) is making an opposition to the Sun in curious, quick-witted, versatile\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0(which is aligned in turn with the North Node).<\/p>\n Full Moons<\/em> balance two opposing archetypes, and reconcile their Shadow sides \u2014 in this instance, Gemini<\/strong> deals with information, intelligence, and communication, while Sagittarius<\/strong> is concerned with meaning, truth, and wisdom.<\/p>\n The Shadow side <\/em>of Gemini<\/strong> brings\u2026 To read the whole article and get all the Coaching Questions for this month’s Super Full Moon\/Lunar Eclipse, click here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5\u00ba orb instead of 2\u00ba\u2026 so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 5.5\u00ba<\/em> of Sagittarius<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-11 degrees of\u00a0Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, <\/strong>or Pisces<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this month\u2019s powerful Super Full Moon\/Lunar Eclipse. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Cancer\u00a0<\/strong>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday late afternoon<\/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. (Moon in Sagittarius<\/strong> trines Chiron in Aries<\/strong><\/em>, exact at 5:29pm EDT)<\/p>\n Wednesday early evening<\/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? (Moon in Sagittarius<\/strong> quincunxes Uranus in Taurus<\/strong><\/em>, exact at 5:52pm EDT)<\/p>\n Wednesday evening<\/strong>, we have an opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, focus on the bigger picture, or simply commit to something that gets us excited about the future. (Moon in Sagittarius<\/strong> sextiles Saturn in Aquarius<\/strong>, exact at 8:01pm EDT<\/em>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in <\/em>optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <\/i><\/span>Sagittarius<\/strong><\/em>, until 10:23pm EDT <\/b>(see Tuesday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday all day <\/strong>and Friday until 1pm EDT,<\/strong> is your last chance to register for the Forecasting Forum, live tomorrow, Friday at 2pm EDT\/7pm London-time.<\/p>\n PLEASE NOTE we’ll talk about the current Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse<\/em> in Sagittarius <\/strong>(May 26th), Solar Eclipse<\/em> in Gemini<\/strong> (June 10th), Jupiter’s brief transit through Pisces<\/strong><\/em> (from May 13th – July 28th), and Mercury’s Retrograde phase<\/em> in Gemini <\/strong>(May 29th – June 22nd).– in relationship to our own birth charts!<\/p>\n To ask a question in advance<\/strong>; please email me<\/a> by midnight today (Thursday)<\/strong>… and if I don’t have it yet,<\/em> send me a copy of your Birth Chart (If you have done a Reading or Coaching-Healing session with me in the past, or if you have already emailed me a copy of your chart, I will have it.
