They keep me connected to the cosmic vibes. More importantly, the Forums remind me how to connect to myself with the use of astrology. Sonja is a wonderfully compassionate teacher and I feel blessed to have her leading the way!\u201d <\/i>\u2014 <\/i>Karen W.<\/p><\/blockquote>\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. 17th late evening \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Monday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <\/em>Cancer<\/strong> all day<\/strong>. It will journey there until Tuesday late afternoon<\/strong>.<\/span> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and a half days \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.<\/p>\n Sunday night\/Monday very early morning, <\/strong>we are invited to balance our need for self-care and emotional connection, against long-term thinking and strategizing to achieve our goals.(Moon in Cancer <\/strong>opposes Mercury in Capricorn<\/strong>, exact at 1:25am EST)<\/em><\/p>\n Monday early morning <\/strong>brings\u00a0an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good tim\u00a0<\/span>e to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer<\/strong> sextiles Uranus in Taurus<\/strong>, exact at 3:17am EST<\/em>)<\/p>\n Monday afternoon, <\/strong>a harmonious Mercury\/Uranus aspect<\/em>\u00a0becomes exact at 3:18pm. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday evening <\/strong>(Dec. 18th) on, and it will remain strong until We are able to communicate our vision for a better future; insights arise from these communications. Original, creative insights and ideas can appear out of nowhere; as best as you can, stay open to these unique “downloads” — they might change how you see and proceed with life \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n This is a good time to communicate online, engage in computer-related activities or scientific projects, and also for anything metaphysical. Group activities like Meetups are great things to be involved with right now — especially if they allow us to share our vision for a better financial future.<\/p>\n Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 8-14 degrees of Capricorn, Taurus, <\/strong>or Virgo<\/strong>? If so, you will feel especially blessed by this connection. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo,<\/strong> or Aquarius<\/strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)<\/em><\/p>\n Monday late evening, around 11pm EST,\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>Mars in<\/em>\u00a0Sagittarius <\/i><\/b>transits the degree of May 26th Lunar Eclipse in <\/i>Sagittarius-Gemini<\/i>\u00a0<\/b>—\u00a0\u00a0and we may experience something that provides insight, most likely into our desire for freedom or adventure. We are invited to pay attention to how we act or react to certain things — and to demonstrate our passion for life and for living in ways that help us connect to others, rather than leaving us feeling superior to them.<\/p>\n Observe how this plays out for you today or tomorrow<\/b>: Where (or with whom) are you looking to interact? What are you most aware of? You are invited to act to release any outdated beliefs or cultural conditioning. What might clear the way, so you can move forward powerfully, with an open mind and clear information?<\/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!

Use this intuitive time\u00a0to balance your need for something familiar against your need for worldly success and status.\u00a0As best as you can, get in touch with what you truly want and need: Is it the world’s approval or an authentic emotional self-connection?<\/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 Tuesday late morning\u00a0until late afternoon ahead of time.<\/p>\n Also, Tuesday late morning, at 10:59am EST, <\/strong>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, optimistic,\u00a0truth-seeking Sagittarius<\/strong> to practical, accomplishment-oriented,\u00a0status-oriented\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter — aka the Winter Solstice.<\/p>\n The Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.<\/p>\n The Sun will journey through this no-nonsense, practical sign until Jan. 19th, 2022<\/strong>. Capricorn<\/strong> is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.<\/p>\n We have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us.\u00a0Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.<\/p>\n All this is especially true if you are a\u00a0Leo<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn<\/strong>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo<\/strong>, you are more cautious and practical than usual\u2026working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.<\/em><\/p>\n Tuesday at 4:54pm EST, <\/strong>the Moon moves into<\/em> fun and attention-loving <\/em>Leo, <\/strong>where it will journey until Friday very early morning<\/strong>. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<\/p>\n If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <\/em>Leo all day<\/strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday early morning, <\/strong>things flow nicely; we feel excited about new adventures. We have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting. (Moon in Leo <\/strong>trines Mars in Sagittarius<\/strong>, exact at 5:24am EST<\/em>)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wednesday morning,<\/strong>\u00a0we feel excited about new healing modalities. There’s an opportunity here to be compassionate toward ourselves and others and for connecting to our inner child. As best as you can, have fun when connecting with others, bring a healing quality to the table by tapping into your inner joy, explore things on a holistic level, and take a risk. (Moon in Leo <\/strong>trines Chiron in Aries<\/strong>, exact at 9:34am EST)<\/em><\/p>\n Wednesday afternoon, <\/strong>we are being invited to focus on making realistic choices when it comes to connecting with others; do your best to be your most authentic, joyful Self when connecting with like-minded people. (Moon in Leo<\/strong> opposes Saturn in Aquarius<\/strong>, exact at 2:28pm EST)<\/em><\/p>\n Also,\u00a0Wednesday afternoon, <\/strong>we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with our inner child-energy (creative self-expression and joy), on the other hand, we want to make 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, 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. (Moon in Leo <\/strong>squares Uranus in Taurus<\/strong>, exact at 2:50pm EST)<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday, <\/strong>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <\/em>Leo all day <\/strong>(see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\u00a0<\/em>Today is filled with Quincunx aspects to the Moon; these aspects require a subtle but significant shift in how we perceive and do things, achieved via an inner adjustment on our part.<\/p>\n The best way to deal with Quincunxes is not<\/em> to keep looking for the exact solution, but instead for ways to feel ok when things are not an exact match — in other words, when something creates inner discomfort… Awareness is key!<\/p>\n Thursday morning, <\/strong>we may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet? (Moon in Leo <\/strong>quincunxes Neptune in Pisces<\/strong>, exact at 9:12am EST)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday evening <\/strong>feels a little uneasy. We need to develop inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.<\/p>\n We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment. (Moon in Leo<\/strong> quincunxes Pluto in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>, exact at 7:07pm EST<\/em>)<\/em><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Also on Thursday evening: <\/strong>we still 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 need to have fun with others, and create something beautiful \u2014 and on the other, the desire to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.\u00a0(Moon in Leo<\/strong> quincunxes Venus in Capricorn<\/strong>, exact at 7:50pm EST)<\/em><\/p>\n Thursday night\/<\/strong>Friday very early morning, at 1:39am EST<\/strong>, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC),<\/a> which lasts for almost 2 hours until 3:24am EST <\/strong>(Friday early morning). Use this intuitive time to choose clearly when it comes to expanding your perspective around a cause or like-minded people. Do your best to find a balance between your need for heartfelt, joyful self-expression in the here and now, and for moving into an intellectually stimulating and inspirational\u00a0future.<\/p>\nBefore we get to this week\u2019s forecast, I\u2019d like to mention two opportunities:<\/h3>\n
