Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to Scorpio season, our annual descent into the underworld where we get to examine and catalog all of the things that make us uncomfortable. See, that’s Scorpio’s job, to dig into the tender areas and reveal the hidden. Scorpio is alchemy, magic, transformation, and our connection to the astral […]
Wow, it’s almost the end of October! Time is flying by. And tomorrow is Halloween as well. Seems fitting, on a day where the veil is already allegedly at its thinnest, that Halloween will coincide with the Sun and Neptune making a super psychic trine. Scorpio is a sign with […]
If the Sun in Scorpio is a place to look at the hidden and dive into the waters of the astral plane, then a trine with Neptune into tomorrow is a hazy, psychedelic look into the beyond. Use this energy to meditate, to tap into a vision of something better, […]
How was the Taurus Full Moon for you? Did you bake? Take pleasure in life? Connect with nature? While Taurus loves the good life, there’s a deep emotional current running through this full moon in the form of Venus opposite Chiron. Are we safe? Are we valued? Who can we […]
Happy Taurus Full Moon! This is time of year when we shine a spotlight on value, loyalty, money, the material, fertility, and even pleasure. Full moons are decision points and we may be confronted with themes of security and stability in the days following. The full moon will be exact […]
Happy Monday! Now that we’re in Scorpio season, let’s turn our attention to Mars, the ruling planet of Scorpio. He’s been hanging in Virgo since September 24, 2015. Mars in Virgo is a bit obsessive, whether it’s pounding through minutiae of daily life or getting the work out just right. […]
Today we begin our annual descent into the underworld when the Sun arrives in Scorpio at 1:46 pm EDT. The transition from Libra to Scorpio couldn’t be more stark. If Libra is the sign that teaches us about creating peace and harmony — sometimes glossing over reality in the process […]
While Pluto is still putting the squeeze on Mercury — see yesterday’s update for more information — we can’t forget about a couple of other major alignments and switcheroos in the horizon. Tomorrow the Sun will arrive in Scorpio. In astrology we call this an “ingress,” meaning a planet has […]
I’ve been getting a lot of, “WTF is up with the energy this week,” from people. Two things to keep in mind. One, Mercury square Pluto. Any time you throw Pluto into the cosmic brew you get a lot of turbulence. Pluto throws a mirror on all the things you’d […]
It’s the last few days of Libra season, a time in the astrological calendar when we examine themes of balance, harmony, beauty, and relationships. And with Mercury paying an extended visit to Libra as well, we’re examining our choices of the people we collaborate, partner, and align ourselves with. Pay […]
We’re rapidly sliding through October and we’re already past the half way mark. It’s a good time to check in with our October horoscopes! In the meantime we’re starting the week off with a no-nonsense Capricorn Moon. Not only will it make a conjunction to Pluto today, but will square […]
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 […]
