Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re still riding this wave of intense energy, especially now that the Moon is in Sagittarius today. Keep in mind that intense has no polarity, meaning that this is a good day to be intentional about how we’re going to use the power of Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto. What do […]
Man, this Mars/Jupiter/Pluto energy we’re feeling is intense. Then again, I’m a Scorpio; Mars is my ruling planet. But why intense? Think of it like this. Jupiter grows and expands things. Pluto is a deep current of transformation not unlike the force of a volcano. Toss in a Scorpio Moon? […]
Today’s Scorpio Moon is a not so gentle reminder that we’re sliding into a time of the year when it’s about decay and a clearing of the old to make way for the new. You may be in the southern hemisphere and enjoying the first buds of spring, but we’re […]
Yesterday we began a powerful new lunar month, one focused on Libra. Think relationships, collaboration, cooperation, harmony, and peace. But with stressful aspects to Uranus and Pluto, we’ll have our work cut out of us over the next few weeks. How will we leave the past behind? Be true to […]
Happy Libra New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we open a new chapter in relationships, cooperation, peace, balance, beauty, art, and design. After working through the previous six signs of the zodiac, Libra is the first sign to explore the world outside of our personal […]
Hallelujah! Mercury is officially out of retrograde! Pivoting right at 0 Libra, Mercury is on what’s called the world axis aka one of the four cardinal points. This may be more of a potent station than normal because of the power contained in this degree. We may not only move […]
Today Venus will say goodbye to Leo and hello Virgo, the sign of purity, service, and organization. If we’re playing by the old astrology rules, Virgo isn’t exactly the best placement for Venus. The ancients would say she’s in her “fall” (because she’s in the opposing sign she’s exalted in, […]
Venus is finally winding her way through the final degree of Leo after four MONTHS in the sign of creativity, performance, self expression, and romance. By comparison, Venus normally spends four weeks in a sign. The reason Venus was in Leo so long is because she retrograded from July 25 […]
A lot of stuff happening in the sky! Can you feel it? Now that the Moon is in Leo, it will add some lunar fuel to today’s Sun/Pluto square. And, let’s be clear, Pluto makes for blunt astrology. Even though the Sun is in peaceful Libra, Pluto ain’t got time […]
I’ve been shedding light on tomorrow’s opposition between Mars and Neptune, two planets that have been calling on us to examine the tension between what we want versus some sort of higher plan. (Check out my write up last Friday in case you missed the details.) But it’s not just Mars […]
After all the planetary shifts over the past six weeks, we’re definitely in new territory this month. Can you feel it? On top of that, October is Libra season, a time when we look at themes of balance and harmony. As a result, we may be taking a look at what needs […]
We’re in the build up to Tuesday’s opposition between Mars and Neptune. What does surrender mean to you? What does it mean to accept that we can’t control everything? That there are forces greater than us, like a tidal wave? What does it mean to have compassion for those who […]
