Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Scorpio Full Moon, which is also a lunar eclipse. This is the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is transformation and rebirth, power and control, intimacy and vulnerability, money and wealth.
It’s eclipse week! A powerful Scorpio lunar eclipse lights up the sky and brings a dramatic conclusion to eclipse season. Pluto also turns retrograde in Aquarius, our first big check-in with a new era. Combined, it’s a week of high emotions and pivot points.
Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries create friction, an aspect that may pull at old emotional scar tissue. If we are feeling something come up, it may be very old, a repeat of a theme or thread that runs its way through different parts of our lives. Look for healing.
We come up to the first-quarter moon, the time after a solar eclipse when its energies become revealed. If the eclipse was a seed, the Moon germinates that seed. Look for turning points and events that play into the eclipses’s powerful new beginnings.
Welcome to the Aries New Moon, which marks a dynamic solar eclipse that plays off the energies of renewal and new beginnings. A door closes and opens. The next six months will push us to take the lead, go after what we want, and make lasting changes.
Tomorrow’s solar eclipse not only sets the stage for the next six months, it also opens up a chapter that will play out into early 2025. We’re getting ready to learn how to stand on our own two feet, take the lead, and reach for what is going to nurture and support us.
With the Moon in Aries, we’re on the cusp of a new beginning. We may be feeling a build up of energy or tension. But we’re also in the dark of the moon. We have to honor that we are in a sacred space of endings. Time to reflect and make space for the new.
We officially kick off eclipse season with a powerful solar eclipse on April 20 that touches on Pluto in Aquarius. A new life is ready to rush in. We may have already seen clues in the previous days and weeks. Mercury also turns retrograde in Taurus on April 21.
A Scorpio Moon takes us into the weekend, one that plays on our deeper emotions and works to reveal something typically hidden within. With Mars in Cancer, this may be complicated or messy emotions from the past, from memory, and from family.
Mars in Cancer picks up support from Saturn in Pisces today, a steady hand that brings support to emotional connection and care. Spend time with loved ones. Invest in what really matters emotionally and spiritually. Discover what anchors you.
Another Cancer Moon day. Despite the presence of Mars in Cancer, we’re not in a big rush. We’re focused on home and family, care and comfort. But we may feel restless if our home environment is unsettled and if we’re not getting the care we need.
We’re feeling the call to travel, explore, and set big ideas in motion as Mercury and Jupiter meet up in Aries. With Mars and the Moon in Cancer, whatever we decide has to bring care and nurturing. Perhaps it’s to reconnect with family and loved ones.
