Before we get to this week's forecast, I have a quick announcement:Our next Monthly Forecasting Forum is coming closer; it will be live on
Tuesday, June 18th at 12pm EDT/5pm London Time. You can join us live or watch the mp4-video presentation at a time that's convenient for you.
If you are not yet, a Star or SuperStar Member, please
register here (registration also includes access to the next Full Moon video).
We will look directly at our own birth charts to see how the
Chiron Station in 4-5º of
Aries: late June - late July, and the second
Mercury Retrograde phase of the year, will impact each of us. We will address questions like these for the upcoming transits:
What is coming into your awareness in regards to your inner wounded child? What triggers you? How do you deal with those triggers? How is your communication affected? Are you able to express your creative juices?
Now, this week’s Forecast...
Monday, June 10th:
Monday,
the Moon remains in Virgo until 8:29pm EDT; 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.
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.
Monday at 1:59am EDT,
the first Quarter Moon in 19 degrees of Virgo becomes exact.
We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Virgo last week Saturday (June 8th).
The Moon in detail-oriented, helpful and practical Virgo makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, fast-thinking and busy Gemini. We feel compelled to take action. Last week saw the New Moon, on June 3rd. "Seeds" planted then are probably "sprouting" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Monday early morning,
a somewhat challenging Sun/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 5:04am EDT.
We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday early morning (June 9th) on, it will remain strong until late tonight (Monday). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.
Our focus is drawn to the truth of the matter, but we could be pulled away by doubts and impatience, or by "accepting" responsibilities that aren't ours (while ignoring the ones that are). We work hard but aren't always recognized or compensated as we'd like and therefore sometimes run out of steam before our work is complete. Our life works best when we learn to take care of our most important responsibilities first.
As best you can, slow down, but don’t come to a halt: Just because you're not sure about something, doesn’t mean it’s not worth taking a longer look -- in other words, don’t impatiently discard things when you’re unsure what to do about them. Ask yourself: How might I share my thoughts in a self-responsible way? What might I see if I slowed down? What might I notice if I took a longer-term view? How might curiosity and an open mind support my long-term goals?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-20 degrees of Gemini or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Capricorn (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)
Monday at 8:01am EDT, we enter a
Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for 12.5 hours,
until 8:29pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
As always with a
Moon VoC, 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 morning until the evening ahead of time.
Monday late morning,
a Sun/Jupiter opposition becomes exact at 11:28am EDT.
We started to feel this aspect from last week, Friday evening (June 7th) on; it will be strong until this Thursday (June 13th). This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about life and enjoy the optimism.
The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach; hasty actions might backfire. As best as you can, don’t push the decision-making process... just trust to the divine timing of things. Projects or ambitions may reach a culmination point or see a surprising changes. Ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? What if just I trusted this process?
Think back to
Nov. 26th, 2018, when the Sun last aligned (conjunct) with Jupiter in
Sagittarius, and ask yourself: What was started then? What seeds did I plant, related to going beyond conditioned attitudes, or expanding my perspective about life? Have those seeds sprouted since then? What's my attitude now? What still needs to change?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-23 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).
Monday at 8:29pm EDT,
the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until
Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon wants to maintain equal relationships: we thus tend to spend more time on diplomacy -- making compromises, negotiating, practicing graciousness, balancing, etc. We can better set aside our emotions, to achieve the peace we desire; the shadow side of this is a tendency to...
