Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Over the next few days Mercury will catch up with Uranus and Pluto, an electric current of evolution and transformation. Normally Mercury transits are a bit ephemeral — the planet is a bit of a quick mover — but Mercury is starting to slow down in preparation of its January […]
Let’s talk about the galactic center! This time of year, when we’re winding out the last few days of Sagittarius, the Sun lines up with something called the galactic center — or the Milky Way as it’s more commonly called. The galactic center is exactly what it sounds like. From […]
We’re already halfway though the month! So let’s take a moment and review our December 2015 horoscopes. How has it been for you? If you’re like me, those Mars aspects last week were a doozy. Don’t forget to read for your Sun sign as well as your rising (if you know […]
After last week’s blustery cosmic weather, we’re in a bit of a dip before another wave that will build this weekend and into December 25th’s Cancer Full Moon + Uranus station. Translation — regroup and take care of yourself. The energy of the rest of December is a bit intense. […]
Happy Monday! Let’s talk about Sagittarius and Jupiter, its ruling planet. December is, for the most part, Sag season. When the Sun is in Sagittarius, we naturally experience the world through the lens of faith, pilgrimages, travel, wisdom, philosophy, and abundance. People who have a strong Sag or Jupiter in […]
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 — 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 […]
