Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Yesterday I spoke of Saturn, a planet that represents maturity, responsibility, and achievement. Of all the planets, it brings a sobering influence, a sense that time is short. We’ve got to build the best life while we can. Today we’re feeling the pressure to do just that.
We’re less than a week away from a new season, which means we’re rounding out our time in Pisces, a sign that teaches us about compassion, empathy, and letting go. Yesterday we felt our emotional wounds courtesy of Chiron. Now we’re at a crossroads courtesy of Saturn.
Today the Sun aligns with Chiron, a point in astrology that reveals deep psychic and emotional knots. Falling in the sign of Pisces, the sign of the collective emotional body, what are you feeling. What pain? Suffering? How is it yours yet part of humanity’s? Open the knot.
Happy Virgo Full Moon! This is the time in the zodiac calendar when the spotlight is on health, wellness, diet, and the practical details of life. In short, Virgo is the sign that encourages us to roll up our sleeves and get to work.
We’re in the gate for Sunday’s full moon in Virgo, which will illuminate themes of order, purity, and health. As the polarity of Pisces, Virgo brings the energies of service into our daily lives. Here we learn the important art of craft, discernment, and an attention to detail.
Mars is in the final minutes of Aries, wrapping up a journey that began on January 28. Later today, Mars will move into Taurus. Whereas Aries is brash and impulsive, Taurus is slow, methodical, and motivated by the material. Mars in Aries hunts; in Taurus it gathers.
We’re still surfing a Cancer Moon. Pair that with a Pisces Sun and it’s all about emotions and emotional bonds. Why? Because Cancer and Pisces are water signs, the element that connects us with feeling. As a result, you may feel extra sensitive or even quiet today.
Cancer Moon day, a time in the lunar month when we’re urged to connect to the things that nourish. As the first water sign, Cancer is all about emotional basics. Am I safe? Am I loved? Are my roots strong? Who are my family? For this, Cancer can feel like an ache of hunger.
Tomorrow Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money will turn retrograde in Aries, urging us to look more deeply at Venus in our lives. If retrogrades are a time of review, then we’ll be digging into relationship patterns this month and learning what true value is.
Feeling stretched? Today’s big deal opposition between Jupiter and Uranus may be pushing us to our breaking point. Something has to give — how we see the world, how we see ourselves. Pisces Season may be all about dreams, but Uranus is shocking us awake.
Welcome to Pisces Season! This is the time in the astrological calendar when we pull back from the world, reflect, and reach toward the intangible. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and when we arrive at this time of year we’ve come to the end of a journey.
Whee! The Aries Moon is activating Mars and Uranus today and a tense configuration with Jupiter and Pluto we’re been navigating since last month. This is a get up and go sort of day. Events may move swiftly, suddenly, or even unexpectedly.
