Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
After a sharp-edged Scorpio Season, we round things out with a generous trine between Venus in Scorpio and Jupiter in Pisces not unlike a rainbow after a dark storm. Be open to the gifts that come from our inner examination and search the last few weeks.
Last week of Scorpio Season which means that we’re also wrapping up eclipse season. The winds begin to shift as Venus and Mercury arrive in Sagittarius in search of knowledge, adventure, and greener pastures, all in advance of the Sun’s arrival.
If we’re feeling a little indulgent, it’s because the Taurus Moon activates a luxurious trine between Venus and Jupiter. The heart wants what it wants, especially if it’s something that helps us revel in the pleasures of earthly living and material desires.
Last week of Leo Season. We begin to downshift after a couple weeks of high powered astrology. As we close out the lunar month, we’re looking for answers and perspective. Mars also arrives Gemini, a sign it will be in for eight months.
Mercury in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries. Some of recent new moon motivation comes up against an old pain point. Do we have the courage to move forward and face something that is uncomfortable?
We’re rounding out Libra Season this week, a time that spotlighted the importance of relationship in our lives. Although the recent Libra New Moon takes us into November, we’re on the edge of Scorpio Season and its pull into the powerful unknown.
The Taurus Moon takes us into the weekend, a moon that wants us to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Although it may be hard if social distancing or staying indoors, make time nature. Or, make your favorite foods and focus on the comforts of home.
The Moon switches into Taurus and our focus turns to money, food, and the essentials we need to feel safe and secure. Taurus is about fertility as well as the earth in bloom. If you can’t be in nature, bring nature indoors. Cook, bake, and stock up on supplies.
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.
The Sun and Jupiter harmonize. It’s a day to be open to adventure, travel, and the call of something greater than ourselves. For that Jupiter touches on themes of faith, wisdom, and belief. Jupiter helps us to see the world so we can understand ourselves better.
The Moon moves into Scorpio and it’s all about intimacy and trust over the next couple of days. Scorpio is a sign that likes to get to the psychological heart of things, even if it means being uncomfortable. With Mars in Leo, we may be feeling a little touchy, too.
