Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re rounding out the lunar month this week, a time when the tide ebbs and we pull back from the world to rest. It’s typically more of an internal time. Inspired by the Aquarius Sun and Sagittarius Moon today, we’re on a search for truth and meaning.
When we’re in Capricorn season as we are now, it’s all about the planet Saturn. Why? Because Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and it’s placement in the zodiac and the aspects it presently makes flavors the solar month.
Ready for tomorrow’s alignment between the Sun and Saturn? While not the most glamorous of planets, Saturn has the role of holding you accountable in life. And, as a result, we’ve been digging into themes on maturity, commitment, responsibility, and getting older.
As much as this month is about Saturn and its push to get us to take the next big step in our life, it’s also about Uranus. And while Saturn would rather us cautiously preserve the status quo, Uranus is about breaking it apart.
We’re coming up on a crossroad this week. With the Sun approaching Saturn this Saturday, December 10, we’re feeling time, we’re feeling responsibility, and we’re feeling a need to make a decision — one that touches on faith, truth, and meaning.
Happy Sagittarius New Moon! This is the time in the astrological calendar when we turn our attentions to faith, truth, and meaning. Sagittarius is foreign travel, other cultures, philosophy, religion, higher education.
I’ve been thinking a lot about integrity and the power of words lately — no surprise considering that Mercury lines up with Saturn in Sagittarius today. When the world shakes us, all we have is our word, all we have is our rectitude.
The Moon is still winding its way through Sagittarius today, highlighting a journey we’ve been on since last year. And if we’ve got faith and commitment on our minds, that’s because Saturn’s pushing us hard to figure out what we believe in.
As Jupiter comes to its final hours in Virgo, we’re feeling the crunch — especially with the Moon in Sagittarius today. What do your need to clean out? What is your limit? Your boundary? What are you saying no to? Is it too late to start juicing?
The Moon’s arrival in Sagittarius this afternoon is another reminder that we’re deep in the work of faith and belief this week. As I mentioned previously, Saturn is activating this big story we’ve been unfolding since last September.
As much as Saturn in Sagittarius is a need to define our faith, at the core is a search for something more. It’s a sign that inspires us to seek experiences outside of ourself, to take information we gather and make into philosophy.
With Saturn getting ready to turn direct on Friday in the sign of Sagittarius, don’t be surprised if your faith is tested, if you need to define what you believe in, or feel a deepening need to make a commitment.
