Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
It’s the dark of the moon. The veil between worlds is at its thinnest, the lunar light growing more faint. It’s a day to reflect and to search within, looking back to the life we’ve lived since the new moon on April 22. Tomorrow we begin a new lunar month.
Welcome to Gemini Season. The Sun arrives in the third sign of the zodiac today, kicking off four weeks of movement and exploration, curiosity, and learning. As the sign of the twins, Gemini reveals the myriad of life’s choices.
We’re in transition today as we wrap up Taurus Season and prepare to move into Gemini come tomorrow. Last day to nourish our connection to the earth. Spend some time outside if you can. Enjoy the slowness. Cook a nice meal. Gather necessities.
We make the move from Taurus to Gemini Season, from earth and our material lives to air and our need to learn and experience. A Gemini New Moon on May 22 marks this transition further, setting up a time for new initiatives with writing, learning, travel.
We’re rounding out Taurus Season as we begin the week, a season that slowed us down and helped us connect with the material world — food, money, our bodies — and the security that comes with knowing that we have everything that we need.
The Sun, rounding out its time in Taurus, makes a trine to Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn. It’s a day to focus on wealth and resources, assets and power. We have the drive to build more security and stability. As you go into the weekend, tend to your material life.
Jupiter turns retrograde in Capricorn, marking the last in a series of three retrogrades that began this week. Retrogrades are a time of reflection and integration instead of action. For Jupiter, it’s time for us to rework our faith as well as what we believe in.
Venus turns retrograde. Over the next forty days, we’re taking a second look at relationships, from how we connect and interact to reviewing and revisiting old patterns. Money and worth are highlighted, too. We need reevaluate our material lives.
Our busy week continues. Fresh off of Saturn in Aquarius’s retrograde turn, we may still be weighing serious choices as well as creating and building towards the future. Mars is also at the end of Aquarius and we need to tend to a friendship or connection.
Busy week as two planets change signs and three planets change direction, all in the course of five days. Life shifts gears, new stories and new rhythms emerge.
We start the week off with a serious and focused Moon in Capricorn. It’s all about our ambitions, responsibilities, and looking towards the greater picture. With Saturn turning retrograde today, we have a check in with the direction we’re taking our life in.
We’re coming off an intense and emotional Scorpio Full Moon. It’s quite possible that something has been shifting within as well as around. As we go into the weekend, full moon energies still reverberate. Today’s Sagittarius Moon asks, what do we still believe in?
