Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
When we’re in Capricorn season as we are now, it’s all about the planet Saturn. Why? Because Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and it’s placement in the zodiac and the aspects it presently makes flavors the solar month.
The Moon is in Sagittarius today, touching on a Saturn story we’ve been working through since 2015. What do we believe in? God? The afterlife? That everything is going to be okay?
Not only is the year winding down, but we’re winding down the lunar month. As a result, the energy is starting to wane. We’re reflecting on where we’ve been over the last three weeks. We integrate and prepare for the next new moon.
Libra Moon day highlighting sweetness, beauty, and interpersonal connection today. But with the Moon activating these tense configurations of Uranus, Pluto, and Jupiter, we may be dealing with our relationship shadow instead.
It’s officially Capricorn season. Happy birthday to the sign that teaches us about maturity, responsibility, and working hard to climb the ladder of success. And happy solstice! We’re officially celebrating the return of the light in the northern hemisphere.
We’re in the last day of Sagittarius. We’re also the last day before a switch in the season — winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern. As a result, we may have a sense that something is about to change.
It’s official. Mercury is now retrograde. Switching gears in Capricorn, the sign of manifestation and mastery, we’re going to spend the next three weeks looking at our choices and how they manifest in our lives. And there’s likely an old story around it.
We’re in the gate for the next Mercury Retrograde. Perhaps you’re already feeling it, especially as Mercury dances around Pluto in Capricorn, this sense that something has to end. But before it does, we have to review and take consciousness of why.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this full moon we just had. Falling in the sign of Gemini, a sign that can sometimes come across as superficial, I felt like there was something deeper at play. How could there not be with multiple planets weaving through the lunar tapestry.
Hard to believe that we’re wrapping up 2016, a year that we’ll never forget. And yesterday’s Gemini Full Moon was the last full moon of 2016. In keeping with the sign of Gemini, the full moon presented a lot of options. But we can only choose one path.
Happy Gemini Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight turns to communication — writing, speaking, sharing ideas — movement, and travel. Gemini is a curious sign, too. It needs experiences, options, and one in every color.
What did you commit to? Where did you feel the weight of time? Wake up to a sobering realization? See your limits? With the Sun pulling away from its conjunction to Saturn in Sagittarius, we’re still feeling Saturn’s call for maturity and responsibility.
