Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Back in March 2011 we began a story. It was a powerful story, one that initiated a new season in our lives. We may have not known it then, but things were about to radically change. That month Uranus entered Aries, an experience that has not been unlike an earthquake.
Are you ready for change? Uranus will send a jolt through the collective tomorrow when it turns retrograde at 24 Aries. Whether it’s in the form of a breakdown or a breakthrough, something will have to shift, something demands new consciousness.
We’re still in Taurus/Leo mode — gather, create, graze. This is a combination that has been known to like nice things, taking pleasure in the physicality of life. In fact, the Taurus/Leo combo is really important in the creation cycle.
We’re winding down the lunar month this week, a time in the lunar calendar when energy wanes in preparation for the next month. This is a week to take stock of where we’ve traveled since July 4, integrate the lessons learned over an emotional four week period.
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.
