Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A colleague of mine, who is a fellow Scorpio, revealed to me this morning that she felt a huge need to purge out her closets yesterday. Could it be the Scorpio New Moon we had yesterday? Ding ding ding. Scorpio is the sign of elimination. Mars, teetering on the edge […]
We’re surfing a strong Scorpio/Virgo vibe today, two signs that make for a rather witchy pairing. Virgo is the healer. It’s earth and craft. Scorpio is magic, an ability to transform one thing into another. In fact, the Sun is getting closer to the midpoint of Scorpio (15 degrees), a […]
Welcome to Scorpio season, our annual descent into the underworld where we get to examine and catalog all of the things that make us uncomfortable. See, that’s Scorpio’s job, to dig into the tender areas and reveal the hidden. Scorpio is alchemy, magic, transformation, and our connection to the astral […]
Wow, it’s almost the end of October! Time is flying by. And tomorrow is Halloween as well. Seems fitting, on a day where the veil is already allegedly at its thinnest, that Halloween will coincide with the Sun and Neptune making a super psychic trine. Scorpio is a sign with […]
Happy Monday! Now that we’re in Scorpio season, let’s turn our attention to Mars, the ruling planet of Scorpio. He’s been hanging in Virgo since September 24, 2015. Mars in Virgo is a bit obsessive, whether it’s pounding through minutiae of daily life or getting the work out just right. […]
Today we begin our annual descent into the underworld when the Sun arrives in Scorpio at 1:46 pm EDT. The transition from Libra to Scorpio couldn’t be more stark. If Libra is the sign that teaches us about creating peace and harmony — sometimes glossing over reality in the process […]
While Pluto is still putting the squeeze on Mercury — see yesterday’s update for more information — we can’t forget about a couple of other major alignments and switcheroos in the horizon. Tomorrow the Sun will arrive in Scorpio. In astrology we call this an “ingress,” meaning a planet has […]
It’s the last few days of Libra season, a time in the astrological calendar when we examine themes of balance, harmony, beauty, and relationships. And with Mercury paying an extended visit to Libra as well, we’re examining our choices of the people we collaborate, partner, and align ourselves with. Pay […]
In many ways December represents the end of the road. It’s not only the final month of the year, but it’s also the last leg of Saturn in Scorpio* before Saturn arrives in Sagittarius on December 23. We’ve walked a hard road since October 2012, the month that Saturn first […]
November spells Scorpio season, a time when the days grow shorter and yellow leaves litter the ground. It’s the end of a life cycle here in the northern hemisphere, which is why Scorpio is a sign that encompasses deep themes of death and rebirth. All we have to do is […]
Happy Full Moon in Scorpio! This one arrives on May 14, 2014 at 3:16 pm EDT and 23 degrees Scorpio/Taurus. And if we’re being completely honest, “happy” and “Scorpio” are two words not normally paired together, but I’m here to give you the straight dope on Scorpio, a much maligned and […]
In my latest podcast feature, Shadow Talk, I’m joined again by astrologer and fellow Scorpio, Sherene Schostak. For the last eighteen months our collective destiny has been the Scorpio North Node. This has made for tough lessons, especially with Saturn also in Scorpio. Now that the Nodes are in Libra/Aries, […]
