Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
My oh my, there’s a lot of stuff going on in the sky today. And it’s all pretty big deal. First, let’s get Mercury Retrograde out of the way. Yes, the planet of communication, travel, thinking, ideas, and movement turns retrograde today and will trace a path from 1 Aquarius […]
Happy 2016! Happy January! Want to get a look into this month’s astrology? Check out my monthly horoscopes. We’re heading into Mercury retrograde tomorrow plus a potent new moon on January 9 (incidentally the same day as Empowering Astrology’s sixth birthday). Speaking of the Moon, we’re rounding out the lunar […]
This is Saturn season, the time of the year when the Sun spans the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius — both Saturn ruled. Capricorn is the descent of spirit into matter; Aquarius is the ascent of matter back to spirit. When we’re working through these two signs, it’s all about the physical […]
As we bid farewell to 2015, a challenging year for many of you, I’m in a reflective mood. First I want to say thank you to all of you who seek out this corner of the internet for insight and guidance. We’re coming up on 10K followers, a milestone we’ll […]
Yesterday we looked back at Venus’s tour through Scorpio, a sign that can be a little bit of an uncomfortable placement for her. But as of this morning she’s moved onto Sagittarius, the sign of freedom, exploration, and greener pastures just beyond the horizon. Over the next four weeks we’re […]
Venus is winding down her stay in Scorpio and will shift into Sagittarius early tomorrow. Over the last four weeks we’ve had to look at the shadow side of love, attraction, and sexuality. What did you discover? Was it uncomfortable to peer into your own darkness? Scorpio is a sign […]
Happy Monday! We’re coming off Friday’s powerful Cancer Full Moon that not only put a spotlight on home, family, and intimate connection, but threw in a few unexpected revelations as well. Additionally, I’ve found the influence of Neptune in the full moon really surprising. I’ve seen quiet acts of compassion, […]
Happy Cancer Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight turns to home, family, roots, and emotional connections. As the archetype of the mother, this full moon we’ll be called to take a look at how we were nurtured and cared for as well as how we care and […]
Seasons greetings, everyone! I want to talk about the planet Uranus because it’s putting a strong current of energy into the collective and it’s a little off people’s radars yet everyone is feeling it. Here’s the thing to keep in mind. Uranus will station direct tomorrow on Christmas, the same […]
I’m a bit tardy with today’s update. Currently typing from 30,000 feet. The Moon is Gemini today, perfect for movement, travel, reading, and curiosity. Keep in mind that Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is still tangling with Uranus and Pluto. Interactions right now need to be real and authentic. Words […]
Lazy Taurus Moon day, especially after a couple of indulgent aspects to Venus and Jupiter. (Perfect for me because I’m in Mexico.) Not much to do except snack and graze. We are in the run up to Friday’s tense Cancer Full Moon. More on that in a few days. Seasons […]
Happy solstice! Happy Sun in Capricorn! If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere it is the return of the light. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, now begins the descent into longer nights. If you are a Capricorn, you teach the world the importance of responsibility, hard work, achievement, and […]
