This week’s headline items: <\/strong>Pluto is still stationing all week; the Full Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Monday evening; Mercury’s station intensifies on Tuesday; on Wednesday afternoon, the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra, marking the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Last but not least, late on Sunday night, Mercury comes to a halt as it begins its 3-week Retrograde phase.<\/p>\nThere will be three\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 3.5 hours); Wednesday late evening (a little over 10.5 hours); and Saturday morning (almost 11.5 hours).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you missed my Forecasting Forum last week<\/strong>\u2026 and still would like to learn how to align yourself with <\/strong>the upcoming planetary shifts, and\u00a0prepare for <\/strong>Pluto’s & Saturn’s Station Direct phases in\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>&<\/i> Aquarius<\/i><\/strong>\u2026 feel free to watch the mp4-video presentation\u00a0“Pluto & Saturn Station Direct in<\/i>\u00a0Sept.- Oct. 2021″ — as it relates to your own Birth Chart…<\/p>\n ==><\/strong> To purchase this webinar, click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cSonja, a<\/i>ny words I can find to express my gratitude for the insight you’ve given to me during the webinar would be an understatement; in equation form it would look like (My gratitude=Thank you^n)–Thank you to the n-th degree!\u201d <\/i>\u2014 Michaele D.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n How can you best prepare for the upcoming Pluto Station Direct phase in Capricorn<\/strong>?

I sent it out on Sept. 17th late evening \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday, <\/strong><\/em>the Moon\u00a0remains in<\/em> creative, sensitive <\/i>Pisces until 11:13pm EDT.\u00a0<\/strong>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.<\/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.<\/p>\n Monday early afternoon, <\/strong>a somewhat challenging Venus\/Chiron aspect\u00a0becomes\u00a0exact at 12:12pm EDT. <\/i>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday early afternoon <\/strong>(Sept. 19th) on; and it will remain strong until\u00a0Tuesday early afternoon <\/strong>(Sept. 21st). <\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We may feel uneasy or insecure in our relationships — and be faced with a choice — we must develop an inner awareness if we are to see what needs adjusting.<\/p>\n As you can imagine, this could make social interactions somewhat awkward; as best as you can, connect with kindness towards all (including yourself \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n We may also have a hard time making financial decisions that feel satisfactory. As best as you can, bring a good dose of compassion and understanding to yourself and embrace your own humanity as much as possible… and remember: like everything else, this is only temporary \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-12 degrees of <\/i>Scorpio<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Aries<\/i><\/b>,? Or perhaps your\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Libra<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.<\/i><\/p>\n Monday evening, <\/strong>a harmonious Mercury\/Jupiter aspect\u00a0becomes exact at 6:53pm EDT. <\/i>We started to feel this aspect build from last\u00a0week,\u00a0Thursday evening <\/strong>(Sept. 16th) on;\u00a0<\/strong>and due to Mercury’s Station-Retrograde phase, it will remain strong until\u00a0Oct. 6th<\/strong>.\u00a0During this aspect, we are more optimistic and realistic — which is good, since we see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.<\/p>\n This harmonious connection strengthens our ability to connect and collaborate with others. We are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, and countries.<\/p>\n This aspect also makes for quite a “heady” and idealistic experience — it’s\u00a0all about thinking big and innovating. So, ask yourself: <\/i>What are my expectations or attitudes towards the collective experience? What new vantage point might show me how to reinvent myself and my vision for “my people”?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-27 degrees of Libra, <\/b><\/i>Aquarius, <\/i><\/b>or<\/i>\u00a0Gemini,<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will feel most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <\/i>Gemini, Virgo<\/i><\/b> or <\/i>Sagittarius<\/i><\/b> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n On Monday, at 7:55pm EDT,<\/strong>\u00a0the Sun opposes the Moon in<\/em> 28 degrees of Pisces.\u00a0<\/strong>The Moon in creative, free-flowing Pisces<\/b> makes an opposition to the Sun in detail-oriented, practical Virgo<\/b> — the entrance of the Moon into Pisces on Saturday late afternoon <\/b>(Sept. 18th) started the energetic build up towards this Full Moon<\/b> — if you are already a Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject: click here.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n At the time of the\u00a0Full Moon, we can ask ourselves<\/strong>: How far have we come since the<\/em> Sept. 6th New Moon? What can we see now that was not apparent then?<\/p>\n This Full Moon has six planets in Retrograde motion<\/i>: Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. This indicates a strong need for inner processing and aligning ourselves with those planetary energies from within. It\u2019s a necessary phase of re-evaluation, restructuring, and letting go.<\/p>\n Things appear to slow down during a retrograde passage, as internal shifts must happen before we can progress; once a planet turns direct, we feel ready to move forward in that area of life.<\/p>\n Three of the six planets I mentioned above will start to go direct in October (Jupiter, Saturn & Pluto), and at that point, we will get the opportunity to bring all of our inner discoveries from the previous 4-5 months to the outside world.<\/p>\n For a more in-depth interpretation of your own chart<\/b>, in connection with Saturn\u2019s & Pluto\u2019s Station Direct phases<\/em>, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation of this webinar here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n With this Full Moon,<\/strong> we are also dealing with two stationing planets<\/i> \u2014\u00a0Mercury & Pluto \u2014 Mercury in Libra<\/b><\/em> is preparing to start its 3-week Retrograde phase on Sept. 26\/27th, and is therefore exalted at the time of the Full Moon; Pluto in Capricorn<\/b><\/em> is preparing to end its 5-months Retrograde phase <\/b>on Oct. 6th, <\/b>and will be exalted until Oct. 21st.<\/p>\n We are getting ready to retrace our steps (Mercury in Libra<\/strong>), and are seeking empowerment when it comes to our long-term goals or social structures (Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Now let\u2019s first address this Full Moon\u2019s polarities<\/i>: The\u00a0Virgo\/Pisces polarity<\/b>\u00a0has to do with our ability to connect the head with the heart, logic with intuition, matter with spirit. So the question is: how do we integrate\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Virgo<\/b>?<\/p>\n This may seem a challenging question, given\u00a0Virgo\u2019s<\/b>\u00a0leaning toward detailed, analytical understanding, in contrast with\u00a0Pisces<\/b>\u2018 call to open our hearts and allow for all (including things that seem paradoxical to the mind). In fact, on an energetic level there is no separation, everything is interconnected \u2014 we need both left- and right-brain (the logical and the creative).<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/b>:\u00a0What if\u2026\u00a0To read the whole Full Moon article, and get all the Coaching questions, click here.<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of <\/i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0<\/i>Sagittarius<\/i><\/b>, or 0 degrees of Aries<\/strong>, Libra,<\/strong> Cancer,<\/strong> or Capricorn<\/strong>? If so, you are more affected by this Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b> or <\/i>Cancer<\/i><\/b> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n Monday at 7:55pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 3.5 hours, until 11:13pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time\u00a0to find a balance between logic and intuition.\u00a0As best as you can, discern without judgment, serve with an open heart, and improve our daily lives, without getting hung up on timing or perfectionism, bringing\u00a0love and compassion to all of life’s apparent curveballs.<\/p>\n Could you integrate a clear, observant mind with a compassionate and loving heart? What might you experience when your\u00a0mind operates in partnership with your intuitive sensing?<\/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 evening ahead of time.<\/p>\n Monday at 11:13pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced <\/i>Aries, <\/strong>where it will journey until Thursday morning<\/strong>. <\/strong>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…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your\u00a0Member’s account<\/a>)!<\/p>\n GET IT ALL!

We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with, and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations. (Moon in Aries<\/strong> conjuncts Chiron in Aries<\/strong>, exact at 8:16pm EDT)<\/em><\/p>\n Also, on Tuesday<\/strong>, Mercury\u2019s Station intensifies<\/em>, as Mercury is preparing to come to a halt on Monday Sept. 27th, (beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase). As I mentioned last week Sunday already, during the station phase, we feel Mercury’s energies more strongly. It will remain<\/em> at its most intensified<\/em> until <\/b>Sept. 30th<\/b>.<\/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>: Is my mind drawn to just causes? Do I want to meet people half-way? Am I constantly thinking about having a more balanced life and how to achieve this?<\/p>\n What would it be like to communicate from fairness and collaboration? What about listening with the intention of creating win-wins?\u00a0What will get me one baby step closer to that, right here, right now?<\/p>\n For the next 9 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):\u00a0wait until after Nov. 2nd<\/b>, when Mercury’s post- Shadow phase is over.<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others<\/i>:\u00a0those of us who have\u00a0<\/i>Gemini<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Virgo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 22-27 degrees of Libra<\/strong><\/i>, Aries, Cancer\u00a0<\/i><\/b>or\u00a0<\/i>Capricorn.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in <\/em>pioneering, fast-paced <\/i><\/em>Aries all day <\/strong>(see Monday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday morning<\/strong>, a challenging Mercury\/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 9:12am EDT<\/em>. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Friday evening <\/strong>(Sept. 17th) on; <\/strong>and due to the Pluto’s & Mercury’s Station\u00a0\u00a0it will remain strong until Oct. 5th<\/strong> This aspect creates some tension in our lives. We may feel anxious or stressed by one or more situations or interactions to do with one-on-one relationships.<\/p>\n We are being invited to grow and make some changes in our lives, particularly in terms of our thinking processes. We are being asked to find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.<\/p>\n We have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.<\/p>\n However, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.<\/p>\n We have a great love of debate, but we might want to be careful that we don’t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to “convert” them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds<\/strong>. Connect to others, empowering them with what you feel passionate about. Choose your words carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: <\/b>How can I empower myself and others 5% more today? How might an increase of Self-care support this desire for empowered conversations and connections? What needs to be said? What doesn\u2019t?<\/p>\n If I observe an \u201call-or-nothing\u201d attitude in myself, could I give myself permission to relax into the \u201clove-energy\u201d that always resides inside of me? Could I acknowledge first, and then release, any fears or concerns connected to achievements or relationships?<\/p>\n Also, feel free to watch my “Additional Support”-video on the subject!<\/a><\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in degrees of 21-28 <\/i>Libra, Capricorn, Aries <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Cancer?<\/i><\/b> If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.\u00a0This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in <\/i>Gemini, Virgo <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Scorpio<\/i><\/b> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)<\/i><\/p>\n Wednesday at 3:21pm EDT,<\/strong>\u00a0the Sun changes signs from detail-oriented, practical<\/em> Virgo\u00a0<\/strong>into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra,<\/strong>\u00a0where it will journey\u00a0until Oct. 23rd. <\/strong>This signifies the beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere of this planet.\u00a0The Fall Equinox\u00a0is an energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.<\/p>\n With the Sun entering\u00a0Libra<\/b><\/em>, we are being called to pay attention to our relationships. Bringing equality, cooperation and balance to our dealings with the world is recommended during this time. We have a keen awareness of issues concerning justice and we are more likely to take a stand against injustice, especially when it’s directed against others.<\/p>\n However, we also want to keep the peace, so we may use language (and our intellects) to diplomatically address such issues. We can see all sides of a situation — and therefore it’s not always easy to make the “right” choices. Our desire for harmony is great;\u00a0 more often than not — consciously or unconsciously — we may find ourselves seeking the approval of others.<\/p>\n All this is especially true if you are a\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Libra<\/i><\/b>\u00a0Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a\u00a0<\/i>Libra<\/i><\/b>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>, you are more aware of the delicate balance that is required internally and externally in your life<\/i>.<\/p>\n Wednesday at 10:05pm EDT,<\/strong> we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 8:38am EDT<\/strong> (Thursday morning).\u00a0Use this intuitive time to\u00a0reexamine your various one-on-one relationships — ask yourself: How can I balance my need for self-fulfillment and independence with my desire to connect and communicate in a harmonious way?<\/p>\n Do your best to find a balance between those two poles:<\/strong> What might be possible if you could integrate one with the other?<\/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 evening until Thursday morning ahead of time.<\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains<\/em> in pioneering, fast-paced <\/i>Aries <\/strong><\/em>and VoC <\/span><\/a>until 8:38am EDT <\/strong>(see Monday late evening for details).<\/p>\n Thursday early morning<\/strong>, a Venus\/Uranus opposition<\/em> becomes exact at 5:41am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening <\/strong>on; and it will remain strong until Saturday evening<\/strong>.\u00a0This opposition calls us to balance “togetherness” with “having our space”.<\/p>\n We may find that we disagree with others. We may be restless, even anxious, and therefore feel pressure to act (and react) impulsively towards others — or towards our finances. Try your best not to put all your money on a horse, just because it has a funny name;\u00a0or<\/em> elope with a random hottie \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible. Do not get a facelift or any kind of beauty treatment that has the potential to go horribly wrong. I’m not kidding.<\/p>\n If there were a way to fully express our individuality in our relationships, without needing to pull or push away… what might that way be?\u00a0Could you shake things up a little, without being oppositional or offensive?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in 11-18 degrees of <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Scorpio, Taurus,<\/i>\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0<\/i>Taurus, Libra<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>\u00a0(Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)<\/i><\/p>\n Thursday, at 8:38am EDT, <\/strong>t<\/em>he Moon moves into steady, peaceful<\/em> Taurus<\/strong>, where it will journey until Saturday evening<\/strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.<\/p>\n In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next 3 days? It’s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Friday, <\/strong>the Moon remains<\/em> in steady, peaceful Taurus <\/strong>all day<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>(see Thursday morning for details).<\/p>\n Friday mid-afternoon, <\/strong>we are asked to connect with people with similar values who can provide practical support for our visions, and to share with them what is important to us. (Moon in Taurus<\/strong> conjuncts Uranus in Taurus<\/strong>, exact at 12:56pm EDT)<\/em><\/p>\n Friday late afternoon:\u00a0<\/strong>we are invited to\u00a0create a balance between our need for material stability and our desire to connect intimately and authentically with others. We\u00a0discover what we most require and explore what we most desire — and fear.\u00a0(Moon in Taurus<\/strong> opposes Venus in Scorpio<\/strong>, exact at 4:16pm EDT).<\/em><\/p>\n Since we have very little going on today, I would like to mention that I was Interviewed for the Self Love Show<\/em> with Dawn Light & Trish Wright.<\/strong> We talked about how Astrology can help us love ourselves more, and how we can deepen that love.<\/p>\n ==>\u00a0Feel free to watch our show\u00a0here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saturday,<\/strong> the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus <\/strong><\/em>until 8:36pm EDT <\/strong>(see Thursday morning for details).<\/p>\n Saturday morning, at 9:09am EDT,<\/strong> we enter a\u00a0Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for almost 11.5 hours,\u00a0until 8:36pm EDT. <\/strong>Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.<\/p>\nBefore we get to this week’s forecast, I’d like to mention:<\/h3>\n
