Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We start off the week with a Leo Moon, a sign that inspires us to be ourselves and express our talents as well as our creativity. With the North Node also in Leo, it’s an imperative. We need to be in the truth of who we are.
Welcome to Taurus Season, the time in the zodiac calendar when we turn our attention to the earth beneath our feet. Taurus helps us get grounded into our physical lives, from accumulating the resources we need to live comfortably to money, food, and pleasure.
Last day of Aries Season, a time of starting over and moving forward. That said, this Aries Season has been a little complicated. We’ve had to rewind instead of take action. Tomorrow we arrive in Taurus and connect to the pleasure of element earth.
We may be wrapping up Aries season, but the its fire will sustain us beyond. After all, we’re in a lunar month that began just days ago with a powerful alignment to Uranus. Be prepared for ups and downs, breakthroughs, and a restless need to make a change.
Another day, another cosmic shift. Chiron and Saturn are in the spotlight as Chiron arrives in Aries and Saturn turns retrograde in Capricorn. While Chiron touches on more abstract themes, it’s Saturn’s turn that feels tangible, real.
We start the week fresh off an Aries New Moon, one that’s ushering in a lunar month filled with twists, turns, and radical new beginnings. Then tomorrow, April 17, Saturn turns retrograde, underlining our Saturn in Capricorn journey towards greater maturity.
Happy Aries New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we kick off a new cycle. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries takes the lead. It moves things forward. It’s action as well as the courage to start anew.
The Moon rounds out its time in Pisces and we start the weekend in the dark of the moon. Although the days before a new moon tend to be quiet, we’re on the cusp of a fiery, unpredictable Aries New Moon. Emotions are heating up; we’re ready to run forward.
Today’s Pisces Moon is a reminder that Chiron is on the verge of leaving Pisces, a sign its occupied for the last seven years. During this time we’ve struggled with our pain, our wounds, our suffering. Do we still have faith that it will all work out?
Of all the elements, it’s element earth that’s getting a lot of play right now. Earth invites us to ground, get nourished, and build something for ourselves. With Venus in Taurus harmonizing with Mars in Capricorn, we have an opportunity to find our real value.
The Sun makes contact to Pluto, putting light on our shadows. We all have spaces within us that we don’t want to acknowledge, facets of ourselves that sabotage or limit. This is a power day, a day to look at ourselves, even if it’s uncomfortable.
We start the week with an Aquarius Moon, one that shows us life through the lens of friendship, community, and social connection. Aquarius, an air sign, is also quite intellectual. As much as today may be about socializing, it’s also about big ideas.
