Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Aquarius New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to themes of humanity, connection, equality, and our hopes for a better future. The new moon will be exact on February 8, 2016 at 9:39 am EST, 19 degrees Aquarius. For those further […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about Venus this week as she comes up to her annual merge with Pluto on Saturday. In the eyes of astrology, Venus is the key to understanding the archetypical energy of relationship, compromise, collaboration, value, worth, and resource. We all have Venus somewhere in our […]
Are you a Taurus or Libra? Have your ascendant or Moon in these signs? The heat is on the next few days as Venus, your ruling planet, makes a couple of tense alignments with Uranus and Pluto. You will feel a major push to make a change, a break from […]
There’s a lot of sextiles happening in the sky today — Sun/Saturn + Moon, Mars/Pluto, Mercury/Chiron. For all you astrology students, a sextile is a 60 degree aspect between two planets; it has the energy of Venus. The two planets are social, in support of each other, and have an […]
Happy Imbolc! We’re in the part of the zodiacal calendar when the Sun is halfway between the season. Here in the northern hemisphere we’re in mid-winter, the time when the Sun hits around 15 Aquarius. The ancients celebrated these “cross quarter days” with different rituals and festivals. Halloween is another […]
Happy February! Per usual I’m running behind with horoscopes (the perils of juggling two full time jobs). But I can tell you this. A dynamic new moon next week on February 8 will open up a lunar month filled with action. After all, February is Aquarius season, a time when […]
Mercury crosses Pluto followed by a square to Uranus on Saturday and Sunday. I’ve been talking about this coming aspect quite a bit only because it’s the culmination of a story that began back on December 19–20. Mercury usually tells a quick story, but this one has been drawn out […]
Normally Mercury is a quick moving planet. It touches on themes of communication and movement; its effects are a bit ephemeral. But Mercury is moving a much more slowly after turing direct on Monday, January 25. And since its lining up with Uranus and Pluto, we’re feeling a major impact […]
Lost in the shuffle of last Saturday’s full moon was Venus’s arrival in Capricorn. Venus spends about four weeks in a sign and each chapter of her journey around the Sun is a different look into themes of value, beauty, and interpersonal relationships. One thing you have to understand is […]
A few days ago we had the Leo Full Moon, a culmination of a dramatic lunar month that saw the departure of a few high profile artists and performers. Leo, ruled by the Sun, is the sign of the creator. As a result it’s a sign that naturally contains art, […]
Today Mercury will station direct after three weeks of winding its way back through Capricorn. During this time we’ve had to reexamine our word, our choices, and our responsibility for the things we manifest in our lives. Capricorn’s a sobering sign. We see things for what they are, laid out […]
Happy Leo Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight turns on creativity, self expression, pride, individuality, performance, and talent. Additionally Leo is known for its playful side as well as its love of arts, leisure, and romance. As a result, we may have a decision […]
