Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, which is not only a powerful start to the month, but a major checkpoint with an energy that will be with us into the coming years. Pluto is a force of transformation and reformation, revealing something to us that will irrevocably shift.
Tomorrow, Pluto turns retrograde. As it nears the end of its journey in Capricorn after 14 years, we are still tearing down and remaking the structures of our lives. It’s time to confront what we haven’t been seeing.
We’re still shaking and shifting, reforming and transforming after yesterday’s dynamic Scorpio Full Moon. With its opposition to Uranus, we’re awakening to a new reality. Something has to change. And with Pluto turning retrograde today, there’s no going back.
The Moon rounds out its time in Taurus today, fresh off Wednesday’s new moon. It’s still time to plant new seeds, new ideas, and new initiatives, especially around money, food, and resource. This weekend may bring a jolt as the Sun and Uranus align.
We’re in a new lunar month, one that wants us to create more stability in our lives while shaking up and reinventing anything that’s no longer supporting us. How can such diametrically opposed forces coexist? The coming weeks will push us into new territory.
We start the weekend with an Aquarius Moon, one that points to the bonds that connect us to the level of community and society. An idealistic sign, use Aquarius’s energy to get involved in causes or other activities that create a common goal or shared view.
The Capricorn Moon meets up with Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node of the Moon. There’s a seriousness in the air and we’re feeling the weight of time and responsibility. Capricorn is a sign that holds us to a higher standard.
Today’s Capricorn Moon gets us back to reality. Along with the Taurus Sun, it’s a day to work, focus on goals, and get organized, especially if we’ve been neglecting something. Pluto turns retrograde, too. Are we struggling with themes of power and control?
Venus in Aries meets up with Chiron in Aries. Coming on the heels of a powerful conjunction of the Sun and Uranus in Taurus plus last week’s Libra Full Moon, relationships are still in the spotlight. We may be feeling old relationship wounds.
We start off the week with a Leo Moon, a sign that inspires us to be ourselves and express our talents as well as our creativity. With the North Node also in Leo, it’s an imperative. We need to be in the truth of who we are.
What’s in your shadow? What do you not want to look at about yourself? Pluto is the planet that holds the mirror, unflinchingly so. We may not like what we see, but it’s imperative for our evolution. Today, Pluto turns retrograde and we’re before the mirror yet again.
