Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Today’s feisty Aries Moon is a reminder that the planet Uranus will turn retrograde on July 29. Why is this a reminder? Because Uranus has been heating up the sign of Aries since 2011. It’s been a chaotic, wild ride ever since.
Happy Sun in Leo! For the next month we’ll be exploring life through the lens of self expression, creativity, talent, and play. Leo is the sign of the Sun, and if the Sun is light of the creator, it’s through the Sun that we express our individuality.
We’re in the last day of Cancer season and boy has it been a ride. Cancer is a sign that touches on primal experiences — basic emotional needs, feelings, safety, security, memories, care. Pluto and Uranus’s heavy hand has shaken us to the core.
Yesterday’s Capricorn Full Moon capped off a difficult lunar month that began on July 4. We’ve seen our darkness, our demons, and now it’s time to make a break. With the full moon square Uranus, we’re caught between flashes of insights and a push to separate.
Happy Capricorn Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight shines on achievement, ambition, status, and success. Capricorn is the sign of the career, government, and rank that comes from status.
This powerful lunar month will come a head tomorrow with the Capricorn Full Moon. If the new moon seeds our energetic and holographic reality, then the full moon is its potential realized, like a branch heavy with fruit … or a spark turned into a blazing fire.
On July 4 we started a caustic lunar month that promised to show us our fears, the parts of ourselves that we’d rather not look at. Falling opposite Pluto, the new moon said that over the coming four weeks we’d be doing a lot of soul searching.
The Scorpio Moon touches on Mars today, giving us one last push in this Mars in Scorpio journey we’ve been on the last few months. Mars in Scorpio has been a look into the darkness, both internal and external. It hasn’t been easy to say the least.
Mercury arrives in Leo today, another hint that we’re inching our way out of emotional Cancer season. The planet of communication and travel joins with Venus in a sign that known for its fun, flirtatiousness, and performance. And hair, let’s not forget the hair.
Venus arrived in Leo today all flirty and playful and boy can we use it. The energy is still heavy, make no mistake, but at least we can enjoy Venus’s charms. Venus in Leo has a bit of a diva reputation, someone who enjoys the regal treatment.
The past week has been tense to say the least. If astrology tells us what time it is then the new moon last Monday pointed the clock toward themes of shadow, messy truths, and a profound state of death and rebirth.
I’m having one of those days when I don’t know what to say. It’s not that there isn’t something interesting to share about today’s astrology, but it seems a little myopic to talk about the Sun and Pluto, Venus and Chiron when the world is clearly on fire.
