Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A lot of moving pieces this week. Uranus turns retrograde, a shake up that builds upon a larger story of transformation. We’ve also got a Pisces Full Moon, one that pushes us to make a commitment. Mars also arrives in Libra and gets us ready for eclipse season.
Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus and our week starts off with a kick, one that shakes up the status quo or changes how we see things. Whatever is unfolding connects to a larger story of awakening that began in 2018, 2019 when Uranus first entered Taurus.
Uranus turns retrograde at 18 Taurus, a major check in with a story of reinvention that’s been weaving its way through our lives since May 2018, March 2019. Uranus just wants us to be true to who we are. And sometime Uranus shakes up what’s blocking the way.
Welcome to Virgo Season! We’re getting focused on the details of life, especially with this week’s Virgo New Moon, which gives us a reset. Uranus also turns retrograde at 18, a powerful marker in an ongoing story that began in May 2018, March 2019.
As the Sun reaches the end of Leo today, a sign it calls home, we’re on the threshold. What have we learned about joy and passion, creativity and being ourselves? When the Sun arrives in Virgo, we take this spark and hone it through craft and attention to detail.
Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus. It’s a day if not a week of surprises, seismic shifts, and awakenings. A story that began in 2018-2019, comes to a head. It’s a crisis of authenticity as well as a point of liberation.
The Moon in Sagittarius inspires us to explore the world, to create, and find time for fun. It brings a boost of element fire to Leo Season. It also points us towards Jupiter in Aquarius, helping us to find new connections.
We’re not only rounding out the lunar month this weekend, a time when we’re typically getting quiet and pulling back to reflect, but Uranus is poised to turn retrograde. Be open to flashes of insights, new consciousness, and a push from our comfort zone.
Mars continues its series of squares to a trio of planets in Capricorn — Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn. This week this Mars fire has to negotiate the realities of Capricorn, from rules and boundaries to the need to create balance, especially if something is not working.
We start the week with a Taurus Moon, one that craves stability, security, and the comforts of home, especially with Venus over in Cancer. But the astrology this week is anything but stable. The earth is shifting. We’re awakening to something new.
We go into the weekend on the cusp of planetary shifts. Both Jupiter and Uranus change direction, which means that we may see an area or two of our lives switch gears. That said, Jupiter highlights themes of faith, meaning. Uranus upends the status quo.
Venus in Leo cozies up with Jupiter in Sagittarius. It’s a day to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, its luxuries, as well as its adventures. Venus and Jupiter can bring luck and opportunity. But we’re still feeling restless, a little agitated. Uranus turns retrograde August 11.
