Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mercury and Mars clash today. We may feel a little restless or have a need to get something off our chest. Although this placement has a history of arguments and accidents. Mercury is still in Taurus. A lot of the potential conversation today may be around value.
Just a friendly reminder that Mars is still retrograde. I’ve heard from a few of you and you’ve mentioned that things are a little sluggish or unresolved. Keep in mind that Mars is fire. It’s action, command. Any planet in retrograde doesn’t have the same energy.
Heads up. Neptune, the planet of mysticism and altered states of consciousness, will turn retrograde on June 14 — less than a week away. Neptune is a planet that speaks to the collective emotional experience; we feel everyone and everything.
One of the major features of Saturday’s new moon was a line up between the Sun and Venus. Although not exact at the time, the two planets merge today in a sweet pairing that only occurs once a year. Here’s what you need to know.
This new moon is one of the more significant lunations of this year, which tells us that June will be a major month for many people with a stark dose of reality.
We’re in the midst of something called a “mutable cross,” the planets bunched up in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The mutable signs fall right before the start of a new season; they are inherently about transition, movement.
This week we’re coming up against a boundary, we’re feeling our age, we’re pushing against the odds, we’re reaching for a major milestone or achievement. There’s a sobriety to Saturn that cuts across illusions. It forces the issue. We know what we have to do.
Hey guys, it’s June. It’s also Gemini season. This month has a bit of a serious feel to it thanks to the influence of Saturn, which is in contrast to Gemini’s tendency to play it fast and loose. As a result, many of us will be at a crossroads in June. Which direction will we go?
When Neptune is a strong influence in the astrology of the present moment — or even in a natal chart — you can’t do ego, you can’t do will, you can’t power your way through a Neptune transit. All you can do is surrender and let the current take you.
In many ways June is the month that we get real, the month we grow up a little more. True, June is Gemini season, a sign that likes to keep things light, fast, and loose. But it’s also a sign that’s been under a fair bit of scrutiny from Saturn. We’ve got a big choice to make.
Mars is back into Scorpio, a sign it previously visited from January 3 to March 5. In fact, Mars will be back to the same degrees it was at from February 18 to the beginning of March. We will be revisiting something from that two week time period. Get ready.
As of this morning Mars is back in Scorpio. If Mars is action then Scorpio is power, invoking the forces of life and death, chrysalis, and resurrection. Scorpio is a look into the dark underbelly of life as well as the darkness within.
