Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re still taking it a little easy with today’s Sagittarius Moon, what with Venus and Jupiter still connecting. But it’s Virgo Season. We have things to do around the home, from projects to other duties and responsibilities. We’re daydreaming a little, too.
The Moon moves into Sagittarius and it’s a little more of a lazy day after yesterday’s intense square between Mars and Saturn. With Venus opposing Jupiter, we may be focused on the comforts and indulgences of home. But a Virgo Sun still needs to stay on task.
The great celestial gears shift again this week. Mars, after making its way past Jupiter and Pluto, makes a square to Saturn in Capricorn. This is high pressure astrology. We have to take responsibility, set boundaries, and find accountability.
We start the week as two powerful forces come up against each other. Mars in Aries makes a square to Saturn in Capricorn. This is a test of our efforts, a reality check, or a need for more discipline and responsibility. We’re setting hard boundaries, too.
A Libra Moon takes us into the weekend, a moon that wants to connect, socialize, and create beauty. It’s a busy day, one that may be marked by lots of conversation or even a few trips here and there. We’re feeling sensitive, too, with Venus in Cancer.
Mercury arrives in Virgo and we’re starting to move closer to Virgo Season, a time to get organized and prepared for the harvest and the months ahead. Mercury is also at home in Virgo, where it favors analysis, critical thinking, and editing.
The Moon moves into Virgo and it’s time to focus on the details of daily life, from tending to our to do list to organization and projects. Since we’re coming off of yesterday’s new moon, we need to put this new chapter into form and shape.
Welcome to the Leo New Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar for us to rediscover ourselves, our talents, and the spark of life within over the next four weeks. Leo is a sign that inspires us to create and find our passion. Without joy, there is no life.
We’re transitioning from one lunar month to another as we welcome a Leo New Moon, a new moon that wants us to simply get back in touch with ourselves. But this week we may be feeling another build up of stress as Mars get ready to square Saturn.
We’re in the dark of the moon. Although it’s the start of the week, a time when we typically make plans and get things organized, we may find that we’re winding down instead of starting up. What have we learned since the July 20 Cancer New Moon?
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 in Aries begins to move past Pluto and some of its intensity begins to subside. We may be still be examining deep themes around power and control as well as the courage to take action. That said, we’re revisiting these themes into the end of the year.
