Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars Retrograde alert. The planet of action, willpower, and motivation will turn retrograde this Sunday, April 17. Are you are an Aries or Scorpio? This is a time to reflect on how you express the core of who you are. For the rest of us? Mars Retrograde teaches us that we can’t charge forward 100% of the time. We have to pull back from the battle, regroup, and strategize anew.
Leo Moon day! Between all the planets in Aries plus Mars in Sagittarius, we’re feeling the enthusiasm of the fire element. Leo loves a party as well as the arts and creativity. We may feel a push to express ourselves and show off our talents as a result.
The Moon is in sensitive Cancer today, highlighting themes of home, family, emotional security, and connection. Cancer has been known to crave comfort foods and the nostalgia that they invoke. But as the Moon comes up to Pluto and Uranus, our feelings may get the best of us. Our experiences […]
Today Venus and Mars harmonize, giving us a punch of flirtation, charm, competitive fire, and sex appeal. But keep in mind that Venus in Aries is coming up to a bumpy connection to Pluto into next week. If Pluto is the mirror, we may be examining our Venus shadow around control.
We’re a week away from two major planets turning retrograde. On Sunday, April 17, Mars will turn retro followed by Pluto the next day. Here’s what you need to keep in mind this week. When a planet makes something called a station, which is to say that it appears to […]
The Sun and Moon are the foundation of life. Each month they fuse in an alchemical marriage of yin and yang, substance and consciousness. Like a light through a movie projector, the new moon energies unfold through the lens of the zodiac sign. The planets present at the new moon form the structure and weave […]
April is Aries season, a time that’s all about action, renewal, and fresh starts. But over the last few years April has been a rocky month, our lives punctuated by unexpected events, deep emotional shifts, and radically new chapters. (Remember April 2014 and the Cardinal Grand Cross??) So, here we […]
Happy Aries New Moon! This is the time of the year when we start fresh, take action, and surge forward, revitalized and renewed. Aries is the leader, the fighter, and the individual. The new moon will be exact on April 7, 2016 at 7:23 am EDT, 18 degrees Aries. That’s […]
Let’s talk about the astrology unfolding today and into this weekend. It’s strong stuff, like a shot of espresso. It’s astrology designed to shake the status quo, awaken us, spur us to make necessary or long over due changes. We’re all in a process of constant evolution. We have to […]
Today Venus, the planet of beauty, harmony, cooperation, and attraction, trades Pisces for Aries. The contrast between these two signs couldn’t be more different. If Venus in Pisces is ethereal, glamorous, and open hearted, then Venus in Aries is like a woman that knows what she wants. She’s independent, competitive, […]
We start our week off with a sensitive Pisces Moon. In fact, we’ve been treading a lot of water lately through Pisces, the sign of compassion, intuition, universality, collective emotion, and mysticism. As a result, we’ve been working through these aspirational themes while noting Pisces lower tendency to drop out, […]
I got my taxes done this morning (shout out to Caroline at Brass Taxes) and it inevitably came up that I am a professional astrologer, which led to the usual questions. How did I become an astrologer? Do I work with clients? We got into my whole philosophy on astrology […]
