Last chance to sign up for this week’s Forecasting Forum!
Live this Sunday (Aug. 30th) at 8:30am PDT/
11:30am EDT/4:30pm BST (London-time).
Please note that we’ll take a look at
the upcoming Mars Retrograde in Aries (Sept. 9th - Nov.13th), as well as the
Jupiter & Mars Station phases (Aug. 26th - Oct. 3rd + Aug. 20th - Sept. 27th).
What no longer aligns with your personal desires? How would you like to see your masculine, active, assertive side play out, moving forward? What needs to happen so you are prepared for the next phase of your life? What are you birthing?

Monday, the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning. We feel things deeply and have "X-Ray Vision" and "Bullshit-Smelling Abilities".
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.
The Moon in Scorpio
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.
Moon
in Scorpio 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 :-)
Monday late morning, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:35am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Sunday late morning (Aug. 23rd) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday late morning (Aug. 25th).
This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about
something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to
develop inner awareness.
This boils down to feeling "stumped" --
we feel like we can't get our head around things, or make decisions. As
best as you can, be kind and compassionate to yourself. Ask yourself:
Could I hang out with the inner discomfort this is stirring up, just for
right now?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-9 degrees of Virgo or Aries? 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 Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).
Monday afternoon, a challenging Mars/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 2:19pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Aug. 13th on; it will remain strong until Oct. 11th.
This is a "stretch" aspect -- it's characterized by inner conflict --
as well as a maturity process that requires adjustments and flexibility
on our part.
On the one hand, we want to pursue personal goals and
move fast -- we probably feel impatient about any projects connected to
something we feel passionate about -- and we want our physical bodies
to be active (e.g. working out).
On the other hand, we also feel
the need to focus on our long-term goals -- taking it one step at a
time, building something solid that can last. in other words, we are
also being asked to take a realistic and mature approach to our
long-term aspirations. As best as you can, make space for both of these
desires.
We also tend to be more cautious now. We may experience a
temporary loss of enthusiasm -- or setbacks could be part of that, and
if they are, we may doubt our ability to win in life. We are learning to
live life in moderation; this might be frustrating at first.
Pushing
too hard (or too fast) doesn't always get us the results we want: It
might be time to slow down a little and catch our breath. That way, we
can come back later, with a stronger, more mature and focused approach.
We're
asked to stretch and grow beyond what we have previously known
ourselves to be; our commitments and responsibilities are calling us to
get out of our comfort zone.
Find creative ways to honor both
yourself, your passions, your own personal goals or new beginnings, and
your desire to focus on your long-term goals or the social structures we
currently have in place; allow for a direct and courageous approach
even if life puts up roadblocks or throws some curve balls.
What
if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you
rather have old structures in place, or a more passionate, courageous
way to achieving things? Would you rather achieve status or have
self-realization? What if you just decided to bring maturity and
self-responsibility to the table when moving ahead with your own
passions and goals, no matter what?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you...
