This week’s headline items: <\/strong>very early Monday, Jupiter comes to a halt, ending its 4-month Retrograde phase — and Mercury follows suit later that morning. Saturn ends its Station phase on Tuesday and Pluto does likewise on Thursday. The Full Moon in Aries becomes exact Wednesday morning. On Saturday, the Sun changes signs from Libra to Scorpio, and Mercury ends its Station phase; Jupiter also ends its Station phase, on Sunday.<\/p>\nThere will only be two\u00a0Moon VoC<\/a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for 5 hours); and Friday late afternoon (for 11.5 hours).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last chance to sign up for this week\u2019s Forum! \u00a0==><\/strong> We have our monthly\u00a0Forecasting Forum coming up at the end of this work-week<\/strong>\u2026please see the very bottom of this Weekly Forecast for more info!<\/p>\n Or click here<\/strong>\u00a0for more info and to register, for this month only.<\/a> To ask a question in advance<\/strong>; please email me<\/a> by Oct. 21st at midnight EDT<\/strong>,\u2026 and if I don\u2019t 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 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday<\/strong> is a big day (astrologically speaking).\u00a0The Moon remains in creative, sensitive<\/em> Pisces <\/strong>and\u00a0VoC<\/em><\/a> until 6:04am EDT.<\/strong><\/p>\n Monday very early morning, at <\/strong>1:30am EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>Jupiter comes to a halt <\/em>at 22\u00ba of Aquarius<\/strong>, and slowly starts to move direct again, after a\u00a04-month Retrograde phase; Jupiter’s energy will be felt most strongly at this time.<\/p>\n We already talked about this, in great detail, in last week’s blog. If you are currently a Member,\u00a0click here<\/strong> and scroll down to Sunday (Oct. 17th) to read the whole post about Jupiter coming to a halt,<\/a>\u00a0or<\/em> look for your Daily Forecast email for Sunday, Oct. 17th.<\/p>\n Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendant) in 20-24 degrees of <\/i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, <\/i><\/strong>or<\/i>\u00a0Scorpio\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>will be more affected by this Jupiter station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in <\/i>Sagittarius<\/strong> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter’s movements and aspects).<\/i><\/p>\n Monday at 6:04am EDT, <\/strong>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced<\/em> Aries, <\/strong>where it will journey until\u00a0Wednesday afternoon<\/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 hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.\u2028<\/strong><\/p>\n This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon<\/em>, exact on Wednesday late morning.<\/p>\n Monday late morning, at 11:17am EDT,\u00a0<\/strong>Mercury comes to a halt in<\/i>\u00a010 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Libra<\/i><\/b>\u00a0and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week Retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow,\u00a0keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now<\/b>\u00a0— you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its post-Shadow phase\u2026more on that in a moment…<\/p>\n We are\u00a0slowly<\/i>\u00a0ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again<\/b>, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:\u00a0What did I learn about my inner dialog, and the relationship between my inner\u00a0feminine & masculine energies, over the past 3 weeks?\u00a0<\/b>How might I share my findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed with regards to one-on-one relationships, fairness, a balanced approach, or collaborations?<\/p>\n When Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Oct. 23rd<\/b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.<\/p>\n Feel free to also\u00a0watch my chat with Lia about the Mercury Retrograde phase in\u00a0Libra<\/strong><\/a>. We connected last week and chatted about how this has been impacting us, and about the value of a Retrograde phase…<\/p>\n Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have\u00a0Gemini<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 8-12 degrees of\u00a0Libra, Aries, Cancer\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Capricorn.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Monday after 11:17am EDT<\/b>,\u00a0Mercury\u2019s post-Shadow phase begins<\/i>\u00a0— lasting\u00a0until Nov. 2nd<\/b>…. as you may recall, I mentioned Mercury Shadow phases in 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 Mercury goes retrograde, and after it goes direct.<\/p>\n This is especially true if the items are connected to technology, transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.), or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) Click here<\/b>\u00a0to read my blog on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\n Monday late evening, <\/strong>a harmonious Mars\/Jupiter aspect<\/em> becomes exact at 10:36pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Thursday evening <\/strong>(Oct. 14th) on<\/strong>; and it will remain strong until It’s a good time for bold, decisive action, that leads very directly to success in our various projects — especially those with one-on-one collaborations, equal relationships, win-win situations, or that require a just or fair outcome.<\/p>\n Our positive attitude helps us to take risks that get us unstuck, and we have the vigor to blast through challenges; use this aspect to tackle anything that seemed impossible in the past \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Ask yourself: Where am I pining for a greater connection with others? What might be possible if I kept inspiring others?<\/strong> Or kept being the change I want to see in the world?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-26 degrees of\u00a0Libra, Aquarius, <\/strong>or Gemini<\/strong>? Do you have an Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>?

If so, you will be especially blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Aries<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Sagittarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Mars is the ruler of Aries, Jupiter of Sagittarius).<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tuesday<\/strong>, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced<\/em> Aries<\/strong> all day<\/strong>\u00a0(see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n Tuesday until midnight EDT<\/strong>, is your last chance<\/strong> to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for the upcoming Forecasting Forum.<\/p>\n PLEASE NOTE we\u2019ll talk about the beginning\u00a0of Eclipse season<\/em> and a powerful T-Square involving Mars, Saturn & Uranus<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 in relationship to our own birth charts!<\/strong><\/p>\n To ask a question in advance<\/strong>; please email me<\/a> by Oct. 21st<\/strong>,\u2026 and if I don\u2019t 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.

Please email me right away if you are not<\/em> receiving your emails).<\/p>\n Tuesday evening<\/strong>, a somewhat challenging Venus\/Uranus aspect <\/em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Wednesday evening. <\/strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward — and we need to make a choice\u2026 so we need to develop inner awareness.<\/p>\n Learning to let go of the past means being willing to release relationships we have outgrown. Learning ways to abruptly alter our circumstances without emotional turmoil: This is the way Uranus\u2019s energy urges us to grow. We need freedom “within” our relationships, not “from” them.<\/p>\n It’s also time to reevaluate the ways we’ve imprisoned ourselves in protective behaviors and then rebel against them. While “Different” is not always “improved”, change is essential to our evolutionary process.<\/p>\n Ask yourself: Am I feeling particularly uncomfortable with my beliefs at this time? How about with other people’s beliefs? Am I feeling particularly impatient? Do I have certain preferences or perspectives that others are unable to align with? Do I have expectations or attitudes about this? What needs to shift internally, so I can stay open and aligned with my unique talents, values, and preferences?<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 12-15 degrees of Sagittarius<\/strong> or Taurus<\/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 Taurus, Libra,<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Aquarius<\/strong>\u00a0(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius).<\/em><\/p>\n Also, on Tuesday, <\/strong>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky<\/em>, ending its station<\/em>. Over the last five months –\u00a0since May 23rd<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0we\u2019ve done a lot of internal work on our life structures, responsibilities, and commitments, we now have a chance to apply this to the outside world.<\/p>\n What has\u00a0come up in the last two weeks<\/strong> around any commitments to like-minded people or communities? Or around building long-term connections? How truthful am I with myself about who I want to be affiliated with (both online and off)?<\/p>\n Over the last 5 months<\/strong>, did I go over any social structures and connections, to see if they align with my inner truth? What solutions did I find that work well with both my inner truth and outer reality? Now is a good time to move things forward.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Wednesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced<\/em> Aries until 3:59pm EDT <\/strong>(see Monday morning for details).<\/p>\n Wednesday, at 10:57am EDT,\u00a0<\/strong>the Sun opposes the Moon in 27.5 degrees of <\/em>Aries<\/em> — the Moon\u2019s entry into Aries on Monday morning, started the build-up towards this Full Moon. <\/b>The Moon in pioneering, fast-paced Aries <\/b>makes an opposition to the Sun in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra.<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Generally, a Full Moon<\/i> brings our attention to our “emotional body\u201d, increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. This is especially true for this particular Full Moon — for much of this month<\/b>, we are invited to direct our attention toward deeper self-care and more authentic connections to our emotional bodies. If you are a site Member, you may also want to watch my video on the subject<\/a>.<\/p>\n We also have three exalted planets<\/i> in this Full Moon chart: Pluto, Jupiter & Mercury<\/strong>. All three of them ended their various Retrograde phases just recently, and are still moving quite slowly trying to get up to their \u201cregular\u201d speed \u2014 so we can feel their energies stronger than usual.<\/p>\n The Aries\/Libra polarity<\/b> directs our awareness to the roles we identify with, within our various one-on-one relationships \u2014 and this Full Moon<\/i> is thus a call to take action on those roles.<\/p>\n In particular, it brings the focus to “independence”, so ask yourself:<\/b> Where do I need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Less? Where have I been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited? Or perhaps simply accepted for what they are?<\/p>\n This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Ask:<\/b> Where have these energies gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?<\/p>\n The higher vibrations of Aries<\/b><\/em> include courage and strength, openness towards the new, directness, assertiveness, and a healthy sense of identity.<\/p>\n The higher vibrations of Libra<\/b><\/em> include the ability to collaborate and connect on an equal footing and achieve balanced or fair outcomes — also our capacity for objectivity, dialogue, diplomacy, cooperation, and composure.<\/p>\n Every Full Moon illuminates the shadow side<\/i> of each sign as well. The “denser\/lower” vibrations of <\/em>Aries<\/em> <\/b>can be… To read the whole Full Moon article, and get all the Coaching questions, click here.<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Do you have an Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Aries, <\/i>Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,<\/i><\/b>\u00a0or\u00a00 degrees of <\/i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, <\/i><\/b>or<\/i> Aquarius? <\/i><\/b>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<\/strong> or Cancer<\/strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).<\/i><\/p>\n Also, Wednesday late morning<\/strong>, at 10:57am EDT<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> that lasts for 5 hours, until 3:59pm EDT<\/strong>. Use this intuitive time to\u00a0examine 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 collaborate in a harmonious way?<\/p>\n Do your best to find a balance between those two poles: 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 pre-plan Wednesday between late morning and late afternoon.<\/p>\n Wednesday, at 3:59pm EDT<\/strong>, the Moon moves into <\/em>steady, peaceful Taurus,<\/strong> where it will journey until Saturday early morning<\/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 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains<\/em> in steady, peaceful<\/em> Taurus<\/strong> all day <\/strong>(see Wednesday afternoon for details).<\/em><\/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<\/strong> at 2pm EDT\/7pm London-time.
