Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mercury is finally direct! We’re slowly edging our way out of this listless stretch of 2017. That’s not to say the retrogrades haven’t had their purpose. Between Venus and Mercury Rx, we now have a better understanding our our value and how to communicate it.
It’s Taurus Season, a time in the calendar when we turn our attention to the earth beneath our feet. Taurus connects us to the material world, from the rich, fertile soil that bears life to the food and shelter we need to survive.
Today’s Leo Moon is the first test of what we began on the April 26 Taurus New Moon. Whatever seeds we planted in Taurus’s rich earth need our attention. Leo brings vitality to our creations. It’s also the joy of bringing new things into life.
Hello, May! We welcome in a season that celebrates, through the sign of Taurus, fertility, pleasure, and the natural world. With Venus in fiery, passionate Aries, we’re going after what we want this month and not apologizing. Watch out for ruffled feathers.
We’re under the influence of a quick, restless Gemini Moon, just in time for Mercury’s rendezvous with Uranus in Aries. Gemini is all about communication and, with the energy of the moon pointing to Aries, our words may confront, our ideas may shock or illuminate.
Yesterday may have been the Taurus new moon and the start of the lunar month, but we’re on the threshold today. Venus, the ruling planet of the Taurus, is at the last degree of Pisces. Something has to end before we can begin something new.
Happy Taurus New Moon! This is the time in the zodiac calendar when we turn our attention to the earth, from the soil that nourishes life to the world in bloom. If Aries is the spark, then Taurus is the container for that spark to grow.
We’re coming up on a new lunar month, one that will highlight the energies of Taurus — earthiness, prosperity, fertility, and the world in bloom. In the meantime we’re tying up loose ends today, reflecting on the last four weeks. Be open to a new perspective.
Are we coming or going? Today’s dynamic Aries Moon picks up the energy of Mars’s commute through Gemini; we’re feeling restless and we want to get moving. But, hey, Mercury is retrograde; things may not be going according to plan. Try not to lose your cool.
After five weeks grazing its way through Taurus, Mars moves into Gemini and will motivate us to get moving, from trips to appointments that fill up our schedule. Despite this busy energy, Mercury is retrograde. Edit and revise instead of starting new.
What’s in your shadow? What do you not want to look at about yourself? Pluto is the planet that holds the mirror, unflinchingly so. We may not like what we see, but it’s imperative for our evolution. Today, Pluto turns retrograde and we’re before the mirror yet again.
Welcome to Taurus Season! This is the time in the astrological calendar when we turn our attention to earthly matters. Ruled by the planet Venus, Taurus is fertility and the world in bloom as well the accumulation of what we need to thrive.
