Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to Aquarius Season! We’re approaching the end of the astrological year and when we reach Aquarius, we’re seeing life through the lens of community, connection, and humanity. It’s a big picture sign, a sign that helps us dream of something better.
We’re a day past the Leo Lunar Eclipse, but its potent energies are still very active. Doors are opening and closing over the next day. Plus, one eclipse down and another to go. Between this and a solar eclipse on February 15, we’re in a vortex of change.
Happy Leo Full Moon! Happy lunar eclipse! This is the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on identity, passion, joy, and creativity. Leo, as a sign, helps us to celebrate and share ourselves with others, to individuate and make our mark.
We’re in the gate for tomorrow’s lunar eclipse, one that will fall in Leo. Eclipses are electric. They can quickly usher things in as well as out of our lives. With the Leo Moon and Aquarius Sun, there’s a tension between who we are and our place in the world.
We open the week with a Cancer Moon, one that pulls us inward and touches on all the things that give our lives substance — home, family, care, and connection. Cancer can make for quiet energy, but this week will be anything but quiet. We’re coming up to lunar eclipse.
Mars arrives in Sagittarius for a seven week stay, inspiring us to travel great distances or seek out education and new experiences. In Sagittarius Mars has a desire to know. It’s an obsessive seeker of truth and a collector of opinions, some of which can be a touch self righteous.
Another Taurus Moon day, a sign that puts us in touch with the energies of the earth. A Taurus Moon needs to feel safe, stable. It needs to experience the pleasure of living, from good food to the comfort of things around us.
Taurus Moon picks up on Venus in Aquarius today, pulling us between Taurus’s need for sensuality and intimacy versus Aquarius’s big picture ideals. Feed your intellect today as well as a need to balance real life with your vision for the future.
Another hot tempered Aries Moon day. Something that has been simmering, may come to a boil. With Mercury coming up to a conjunction to Pluto, whatever comes out may be very revealing. Use this energy positively to face your emotional shadows and let go of the past.
Today’s brash, restless Aries Moon turns up the temperature on our emotions. This is a Moon that needs a lot of movement, from physical exercise to getting its feelings off its chest. With the Moon pointing to Mars, emotions may be sharp, brutally honest.
Venus arrives in Aquarius, teaching us the value of community and friendships. Here Venus needs space to roam, intellectualize, and connect with various social and political ideals. Unconventional, Venus in Aquarius makes its own rules in relationships and beauty.
The Moon slips into Aquarius, moving our attention away responsible Capricorn and towards community. As an air sign, Aquarius is social connection, teaching us about belonging, whether its our friends, our national identity, or even our identity as humans.
