Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy New Year! With Jupiter and Mercury now direct, we set our sights on expanded horizons. Venus squares off with Saturn as we start the week, a decision point for a relationship as well as for career and responsibilities. Mars also arrives in Capricorn.
Welcome to 2024! Mercury turns direct with the new year, a pivot that joins the energy of Jupiter Direct a couple days before. We’re setting our sights on new horizons. We’re getting organized for the days ahead. We’re searching for renewed sense of purpose.
Mercury turns direct in Virgo after a three-week rewind. We needed to get new perspectives, test old systems, and recheck the facts. What did we discover? Mercury Direct also gives life to yesterday’s Virgo New Moon. Time to set projects and initiatives into motion.
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when our attention turns to the real world. As an earth sign, Virgo teaches us the importance of putting things in order, having an attention to detail, and making sure our lives flow.
A Virgo New Moon brings us deeper into the energies of Virgo Season, a time when we refocus on our earthly lives and make sure everything is running smoothly — mind and body. With Mercury also turning direct, it’s a time to reorganize, clean up, and clean out.
Capricorn makes way for Aquarius Season, a new moon, and Saturn’s final act in Aquarius. We’ve got to get our act together. But also strike out in new ways this New Year. Uranus turns direct and gives a wake up that connects us back to 2018-2019.
We start the week off with a Capricorn Moon. One that puts our focus on duties and responsibilities, especially in the home, as well as a crisis point for the lunar month. Relationships need tending to. We need to get serious about what we want.
Venus in Libra luxuriates with Jupiter in Aries, two energies that want only the best in life. They also push us to socialize, connect, and interact, energies that may make for a very busy weekend, especially with the Moon in adventure-loving Sagittarius.
With Mercury now direct, picking up on a square from Saturn, we’ve got serious choices to make this week. Venus also meets up with Uranus in Taurus, which makes for a reinvention and a jolt in a new direction.
We come to a major crossroads in the astrology of this year. Tomorrow, Saturn turns retrograde at 25 Aquarius, a moment in time when our lives take shape, anchor in, and we commit to the path ahead.
Mercury turns direct at 24 Capricorn, not far from the energies of Pluto. We need to take a deeper look at our blindspots and projections, our secrets and shadows. We may receive bracing clarity, too.
We start February with a powerful Aquarius New Moon, one that brings an echo of eclipse energy as well as the energy of Saturn and Uranus. As a result, we may be at a crossroads or reaching for a personal milestone. Mercury also turns direct.
