Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Energetic Sciences is the study of energy (tangible versus subtle), consciousness, and how the Weft, the 6th element, is the support for communication. Without the Weft, an invisible fabric-like energy, there would be no life.
Join me for a free one-hour online presentation and overview of Energetic Sciences through Mercia Academy, a Swiss online school that I teach courses in energy, consciousness, and meditation. Recorded live on January 29, 2025.
Get the 3-hour webinar! If 2024 was a bridge, then 2025 is the mark of a new era as three outer planets move to new signs. That, plus Saturn and Jupiter changing signs, it’s as if 2025 is a year where the hands of the cosmic clock move from one hour to the next.
Venus arrives in Aries, a sign where the planet of negotiation and compromise learns to go after what it wants. This is a Venus of power and desire, of courage and bravery. While not traditionally at home in Aries, Venus uses its charm instead to motivate.
After nearly three months retrograde, Jupiter turns direct at 11 Gemini, a pivot point that directly connects to the North Node newly in Pisces. Do we have faith? Can we open up to a higher level of ourselves? With a square to Saturn, time to put ideas into reality.
We’re getting a big dose of Pisces energy this week as the North Node of the Moon and Neptune merge at 28 Pisces. It’s a week of soul searching as well as opening up to new horizons. Our dreams may be vivid. Jupiter also turns direct at 11 Gemini.
The Moon’s in Aries as we start the week, a busy moon that picks up on Mars in Cancer. It’s a day for projects and organization, especially anything from the past that needs revisiting. Even with Mars Retrograde, there’s a push to move forward.
A Pisces Moon takes us into the weekend, one that pulls us towards Venus in Pisces and its rendezvous with both Neptune and the North Node. How do we open our hearts? How do we reach for the people and the experiences that fulfill our spirits and our souls?
Uranus turns direct at 23 Taurus, an energy that inspires awakenings, new points of view, and a desire to make a break from the past. We’re also coming to the end of Uranus’s time in Taurus and this may be a time to connect the dots after six years of change.
Welcome to the Aquarius New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when our attention turns towards our lives played out on a larger scale — the communities we belong to, social threads and connectivity, the issues and causes we feel drawn to.
We’ve come to the dark of the moon, the time before the new moon when the lunar light is at its faintest. As a result, this is a day to go within, to reflect on the last four weeks since the December 30 Capricorn New Moon. Pay attention to dreams.
An Aquarius New Moon is a reset for the season, one that turns our attention towards friends and community, society and humanity, new futures and horizons. It’s also a showcase for Pluto and its transformative energies. Uranus also turns direct at 23 Taurus.
Mercury moves into Aquarius, a sign where the planet of thinking and learning, choices and options finds intellect. This is a highly rational Mercury and we may be using Aquarius to gain an eagle-eye perspective on our lives and the world around us.
The Moon’s in Sagittarius as we go into the weekend, a lift of element fire that plays off of Aquarius’s element air. It’s a day for big ideas and the inspiration and motivation to make them happen. Sagittarius helps us to look to the future and find our vision.
Mercury, rounding out its time in Capricorn, makes an opposition to Mars and a trine to Uranus. If Mercury is the planet of voice and communication, Mars may make for challenging conversations. However, Uranus gives opening for fresh perspectives and insights.
