Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Saturn is at the end of Capricorn. We close out a chapter that began at the start of 2018. It’s been an uphill struggle, only because Saturn set a high bar. We also had to clear things out in order to build something new. Today we reflect on our work of mastery.
Coming off of yesterday’s solar eclipse, our world is still in flux, as if we just passed through a portal. People, situations, and events are still coming in and out of our life. It’s a time of new beginnings and the end of old stories.
Major cosmic shift alert. Not only do we start the week with a solar eclipse, but we’re saying goodbye to Saturn in Capricorn and hello to Saturn in Aquarius. Jupiter also leaves Capricorn for Aquarius. The great celestial gears change again.
This week Saturn reaches the end of Capricorn and, as a result, we’re reaching the end of a time that, alongside Pluto, pushed us to grow and mature in powerful ways. What did we learn? What do we see as the result of all our work?
We start the week off with a practically minded Virgo Moon, one that not only wants to get tidy and put things into order, but focus on professional tasks and money matters as well. Saturn is also at the last degree of Capricorn. The pressure is on.
Venus squares Saturn, an aspect that can create hard boundaries in a relationship. Although Saturn can be a sobering influence for Venus, they both have mutual interests. They both want serious connection and partnership. They both want commitment.
The Moon trades Sagittarius for Capricorn, fire for earth. It’s a day to focus on the practical as well as sorting through our to-do list. It’s also a reminder that we officially have four weeks until Saturn leaves Capricorn. The bar is still set high for us.
Jupiter joins Pluto in Capricorn, a planet that has demanded a profound level of transformation this year, for its final match-up. Alongside Saturn, these three planets have reshaped our world, our faith, our sense of order. We must transform yet again.
It’s a Libra New Moon this week, which means that we’re trading one chapter for another, one that will turn our focus to relationships and partnership, design and beauty, peace and harmony. But with Saturn and Pluto nearby, it’s a milestone for this year’s astrology.
Mars squares Saturn as Saturn turns direct. It’s a day to set boundaries and expectations, to take a serious look at our relationships. Our actions must also have focus, discipline, accountability. We’re at the last stage of something that began nearly three years ago.
The Moon rounds out its time in Capricorn today and we’ve got work to do and responsibilities to tend to, especially around the home. We’re thinking about our futures, too. This caps off a week of intensities as Mercury rounded its way out of Libra.
We say goodbye to Virgo Season as the Sun arrives in Libra on September 22, the sign that teaches us about partnership and connection. Plus, Mercury makes tense aspects to Pluto, Saturn, and Mars, creating dynamic if not confrontational situations.
