Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
With March nearly done, we’ve navigated major changes in the astrological landscape with Saturn and Pluto recently in new signs. Our focus turns to Mars in Cancer this week. Our actions need to align with our hearts. We need to make home and family a priority.
It’s a new week and time to settle in with all our recent planetary changes. Although overshadowed by Saturn and Pluto switching signs, we’re in new territory with Mars, now in Cancer. We need to prioritize what matters and what nurtures and supports us.
In a week filled with both seasonal transitions and larger shifts, Mars is poised to change signs after seven months in Gemini, arriving in Cancer tomorrow. What have we learned about choice, communication, and the motivations behind our actions?
Pluto arrives in Aquarius, a sign that it has not occupied in two centuries. We get our first taste of information and experiences that will take us into the coming two decades. What begins is a monumental shift in society and technology, systems and networks.
Pluto reaches the final moments of its time in Capricorn, a journey that began back in 2008 when Pluto first arrived. We’re on the cusp of a new era. But, first, we need to become aware of who and what we’ve become over the last 15 years.
Big news! Pluto changes signs for the first time since 2008, arriving in Aquarius and giving us a preview of a major change in our lives. It’s also the start of Aries Season followed by an Aries New Moon. Mars arrives in Cancer after seven long months in Gemini.
Here we are, on the verge of a new astrological year. The Sun moves from Pisces to Aries today, signaling the start of spring here in the northern hemisphere. It’s a rush of new energy, a new cycle and journey to bring us throughout the year. Plant your seeds.
The Moon’s in Aquarius as we go into the weekend and we not only reach the dark of the moon, but we reach the end of the zodiac year. It’s time to get quiet and reflect. An Aquarius Moon helps us to see the bigger picture and to connect the dots.
After seven months in Gemini, Mars finally gets out of its retrograde shadow. It’s been a slow road at times, but one that forced us to reconsider options and choices and to forge new paths. We’ll start to see some needed movement and different perspectives.
The Sun makes its yearly rendezvous with Neptune, a merge of energies that has the power to blur, soften, and transform … or pull us away in a current. Our sense of self has to open to our higher self, without illusion. Find inspiration in music and art, too.
Mars in Gemini makes a square to Neptune, the last in a series of aspects that thread to October 2022 when Mars originally turned retrograde. If Mars is the planet of action and drive, it had to learn to take a back seat the past few months and go with the flow.
Last week of Pisces Season, one that brings us to Neptune, amplifying emotions, visions, and our dreams. Mars finally clears its retrograde shadow, giving us a much needed push along with Mercury in Aries. We also close out the astrological year.
