Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Sagittarius New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to distant horizons, travel, and the exotic as well as philosophy, religion, and higher education. Over the coming four weeks we may set sail on a journey, take stock of what we believe in, […]
The Moon, now in Sagittarius, will take some of the pressure of today’s opposition between Mars and Uranus, a highly provocative line up of planets. Mars and Uranus together can be anything from a flash of brilliance that demands a new way of thinking or a chaotic push to make […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about Neptune and the energy of redemption lately. Whenever we encounter the energy of the outer planets there’s an act of surrender that has to happen. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto govern forces outside of the personal. We can’t do ego with the outer planets. So, […]
Even though we’re rounding out the last few days of the lunar month, a quiet time normally about endings and release, there’s a crackle of electricity in the air as Mars and Uranus build up to Thursday’s opposition. As a result, we may be feeling an impulse to make a […]
Happy Monday, everyone. We’re still surfing a rough wave of astrology that will peak later this week. Just yesterday, Mars and Pluto squared off, an intense energy that spoke of endings, things outside of our control, and powerful transformations. If you are a Scorpio or Aries â or if you […]
Later this evening Venus will arrive in Scorpio, spending the next four weeks in the sign of death, rebirth, intimacy, power, and wealth. Scorpio isn’t an easy sign for Venus and in the classical rules she’s in her “detriment,” which is just another way of saying that she has to […]
Ever since Mars crossed into Libra on November 12, we’ve been in the build up to a couple of tense astrological aspects. Mars is action, it’s a spark not unlike a catalyst. Libra is a cardinal sign. It lines up with the four directions; it initiates the start of a […]
December is Sagittarius season, a time when we look toward the horizon, cast our arrows toward a better future, and set off in search of adventure. With Jupiter over in Virgo, this month will open up opportunities for service, order, craft, and purity. How will we channel Sagittarius’s enthusiasm? Toward helping others as well as compassion […]
Happy December! Wow, we’re about to put the wraps on 2015. Per usual, I’m tardy with my monthly horoscopes. As we all patiently wait for them, here’s a couple of things to keep in mind. The Sun is in Sagittarius and Jupiter, the ruler of Sag, is over in Virgo […]
We’re contrasting between elements today. On one hand, with the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Leo, we’re feeling the fire. Think creativity, adventure, travel, self expression, and performance. Sag and Leo make for fun loving, dynamic energy, too. But the Sun just made a conjunction to Saturn and […]
Another layer to all this Saturn/Neptune angst, questioning of spirituality, and faith is tomorrow’s Chiron station. When a planet stations, which is to say that it comes to a halt and changes direction, it saturates the collective with its archetype. And what is Chiron? Deep emotional knots that we get […]
Today Saturn and Neptune make an exact square, a connection that doesn’t happen very often. A square is friction; two planets running up against each other with different agendas and Saturn and Neptune couldn’t be more different. If Saturn is structure and worldly ambitions, then Neptune is sacrifice, release, and […]
