Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Moon’s in Gemini, Mercury’s still retrograde, and we continue to review and reevaluate our choices. The beauty of Mercury Retrograde is that it gives us an opportunity to choose something new. With Saturn opposing the Moon, we will also have to face the reality of our choices.
Moon moves into restless, inquisitive Gemini today, touching on our current Mercury Retrograde story. Over the last few days we’ve started to take a second look at our choices. What is working in our life and what is not? What needs a fresh pair of eyes?
Moon in Taurus picking up on some prickly vibes. Normally Taurus likes to keep things chill, but we’re dealing with big issues around value, security, trust, and stability. As we gear up for next week’s eclipse, pay attention to what you are feeling today. It’s all connected.
Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow at 11 Virgo, drilling into the choices we’ve made and discernment needed to known right from wrong. With energy running high and fast, Mercury will help us take a step back, reflect, and be more thoughtful and conscientious.
As we move toward the solar eclipse on August 21, we can’t forget that Mars will be playing a staring role this month. Trailing the Sun in Leo, it will fall just a few degrees shy of the eclipse. Make no mistake, Mars agitates and heats things up.
Leaving behind the intellectual and cool detachment of Aquarius, the Moon moves into Pisces. We’re overly sensitive and intuitive as a result. Just days out from the full moon, emotional energy is still running high — uncomfortably so.
One eclipse down, another to go. Life is a bit loud now that we’re in eclipse season. There may even be a few plot twists, too. But that’s what eclipses do; they push along the narrative of our life and in August we’re opening up a new chapter.
Happy Aquarius Full Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we shine a spotlight on all things Aquarius — friendships, community, social networks, and our place in something bigger.
Jupiter squares Pluto today, the last of three connections that has pushed at the boundaries of our faith and beliefs since late 2016. Pluto employs intense pressure to anything it touches, forcing a reckoning as well as a total transformation.
Welcome to Leo Season, a time in the zodiac calendar when we look to the Sun. For that Leo is radiant, confident, and life giving. And, as a result, Leo inspires us to be passionate about life, to be creative, and take risks.
Uranus, the planet of consciousness and awakenings stationed retrograde in Aries yesterday. This brings a restless, potentially disruptive energy to an already high voltage month. Something is changing and this energy will carry us into the eclipses.
How has your view of the world changed over the last two years? Has your faith been rattled? Or have you had to remake your beliefs? The Moon’s alignment with Saturn in Sagittarius today may bring a need for commitment as well as emotional heaviness.
