Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Energetic Sciences is the study of energy (tangible versus subtle), consciousness, and how the Weft, the 6th element, is the support for communication. Without the Weft, an invisible fabric-like energy, there would be no life.
Join me on May 7 at 8pm ET for a free one-hour online presentation and overview of Energetic Sciences through Mercia Academy, a Swiss online school that I teach courses in energy, consciousness, and meditation. Recorded for replay.
Mars makes its last dynamic opposition to Pluto, a volcanic-like aspect that has wound its way back and forth across the sky since November 2024 and again in January 2025. We’ve had deep internal work to do around power and control, desire and want.
Venus meets up with Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, a conjunction that acts like a portal or a crossroads. Anytime a planet meets up with the Lunar Nodes, our experiences may feel otherworldly. Saturn demands accountability and commitment.
The Taurus Sun makes a square to Pluto in Aquarius, a point of friction that pushes us to make personal changes. Pluto, in its highest expression, is soul alchemy, the ability to turn shadow into light, lead into gold. It’s a day to face ourselves.
The Moon is in Aquarius again, a Moon that has us looking towards the future, reaching out to friends and community. This is a Moon that seeks justice, that cares about humanity, and puts its heart into helping others on a broader level.
Mars, back in Leo, makes its final powerhouse opposition with Pluto, which means it’s a week for transformation, to face ourselves. Venus also meets up with Saturn in Pisces and the Lunar Nodes, a crossroads for relationships. Plus, a Taurus New Moon.
Welcome to Taurus Season. The Sun arrived in the second sign of the zodiac on Saturday, inviting us to slow down after the rush of Aries Season. Ruled by Venus, Taurus is the sign of material stability and security, money and resource, pleasure and sensuality.
Mars, the planet of action and determination, arrives in Leo and stokes the fires of creativity and passion. Mars in Leo is bold. It knows what it wants and knows how to get it. Over the coming weeks, it’s all about upping our self confidence game, showcasing our talents, and reveling in art and performance.
Mars returns to Leo, the sign where it began its retrograde way back on December 6. It’s a revisit of themes from January as well as November 2024. After a long reevaluation of our wants and needs, power and desires, we’re stepping into new inspirations.
Mercury meets up with Neptune in Pisces, their first meetup in the sign in over a century. It’s one of our first introductions into Neptune’s 14-year transit through Aries. It’s also a day to open our intuition, to find the courage to be compassionate.
Mercury returns to Aries, the sign it started its retrograde in last month. It’s a revisit of themes and decisions from March. Something on the back burner moves to the front. A dream becomes reality, an intuition becomes an action. Be open to new perspectives.
