Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
No month is an individual, standalone month. Astrology’s connected to other months, connected to a bigger story that’s been unfolding bigger cycles of time. So we have to look at January in the context of something bigger.
Gemini, we need to recap a little bit because a month is never this standalone event; it’s part of these bigger arcs of tying these bigger stories — bigger chapters — together. As you go into January, life may be a bit interesting at the moment.
The thing about looking at monthly astrology is that we can’t look at a month as part of this compartmentalized story; it’s actually part of a bigger story. As you go into the new year, it’s a time when a new story is opening — but in a way it’s not a new story.
No month is ever of a standalone month. Astrology is part of a bigger story. As we go into 2021, we’re not just stepping into a new year; we’re stepping into a bigger chapter of time. Right before the start of the new year in December, we had two planets—Saturn and Jupiter—change signs.
A Moon in Leo takes us out of a year that was like no other. Perhaps we’re in a celebratory mood since a Leo Moon loves a party, but we’re also, courtesy of Capricorn Season, thinking about goals and resolutions.
Coming off yesterday’s Cancer Full Moon, emotions may be running high. We’re looking back into the past, especially childhood or anywhere where we feel that ridge of scar tissue. But new opportunities are opening.
Welcome to the Cancer Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on home, family, memories, and the past. It’s a full moon to focus on our needs and making sure we are cared for.
We start our week off with a Gemini Moon, one that needs new ideas, information, and things to do. It’s a restless Moon, but one that wants us to get focused and organized as we wrap up an incomparable year.
Moon in Aries, one that picks up on Mars’s tense square to Pluto. We’re feeling a sense of drive and competition. We need to move our bodies and get exercise. But if we’re trying to hold back how we feel, it may come out like a torrent.
Another week of marquee astrology that rounds out an unforgettable year. Saturn and Jupiter line up in Aquarius, marking the Great Conjunction. Also, Mars in Aries makes its final square to Pluto in Capricorn and we say good by to the last full week of 2020.
Welcome to Capricorn Season! Lost in yesterday’s historic alignment between Jupiter and Saturn was the Sun’s arrival in Capricorn, kicking off solstice. Here in the northern hemisphere it’s the return of the light after increasingly dark days.
We’re winding down 2020, a year unlike no other. With a Cancer Full Moon on December 29, we may be in a wistful or even nostalgic mood. It’s all about the heart this week with relationships in the spotlight, too.
