Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Gemini New Moon! It’s a solar eclipse, too! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we focus all things Gemini related — communication, education, thinking, learning, traveling.
We may be in Mercury Retrograde, but things are speeding up as we step into the energies of tomorrow’s solar eclipse. Life may be moving fast. We’re feeling like we’re turning a corner. With Mercury square Neptune, all we can do is surrender to the flow.
Moon trades Taurus for Gemini and we go further into the dark of the Moon. We’re ready to take action, birth new ideas, and head off in new directions. With Mercury Retrograde, we’ve got to reflect instead of moving on impulse. Check all the details.
This week’s headliner is a Gemini solar eclipse on June 10, promising powerful new beginnings. But Mars also changes signs, arriving in Leo on June 11. When it does, it’s going to heat up an already tense square between Saturn and Uranus.
We start the week off in the potent space between two lunar months and two eclipses. Events are rushing in. Things feel not quite set in place. But there is the sense, like an electricity in the air, that something is changing, shifting.
Welcome to June 2021! It’s Gemini Season, the time when we’re exploring our options, getting out, exercising our minds, and playing with language. Gemini is the sign of the twins, which reveals the inherent duality of life — day and night, light and dark.
We go into the weekend with tense opposition between Mars and Pluto, made stronger by an Aries Moon. Be present with the emotions that come up. Pluto is holding a mirror to something, helping us to look at and integrate what is hidden within.
The Moon trades gentle Pisces for Aries, picking up on a powerhouse opposition between Mars and Pluto that’s brewing in the sky. As a result, we may feel a dynamic push to make important changes, transforming or reforming something from the past.
Venus arrives in Cancer, the first herald that it will be summer here in the northern hemisphere soon enough. If Venus is what we love and value, then in Cancer we love family, nostalgia, and taking care of others; we value stability and security.
The Moon arrives in Pisces and we’re crossing the degrees of this seasons’s eclipses. Life continues to bend and move in a new direction. We’re also tuning into Jupiter, newly in Pisces. We’re navigating themes of faith, compassion, and spirituality.
We’re between the eclipses, this liminal space where time bends and twists and prepares us for a new story. We’re navigating what I like to call Big Life this week, especially as the Sun meets up with the North Node and we get to the first quarter moon.
The Gemini Sun meets up with the North Node of the Moon today, a reminder that we’re in the middle of eclipse season. And even though it’s not the day of an eclipse, we’re still navigating the twists and turns of life nevertheless.
