Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
After a tumultuous July (and frankly May and June were no picnic either), it seems like we get a breath of fresh air with this full moon. A Grand Air Trine steps forward with the Sun, Jupiter, and Mars in the social signs of Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. In […]
The epic Uranus/Pluto square has been on my mind lately as Mars moves into T-square range, setting off another round of fireworks on July 17th and 18th. Any time Mars moves into hard aspect with Uranus or Pluto, eyebrows raise, including this astrologer’s. Will the volcano blow or is it […]
July 3, 2012 is a high energy day and not because Mars just marched into Libra after a seven month stay in Virgo. We have a Capricorn Full Moon igniting the Uranus/Pluto square at 2:51 pm EDT. (Chart above is set for New York City.) The orbs are a bit […]
As if 2012 wasn’t jammed packed enough with eclipses and other astrological goodies, it’s worth noting that we will have a very rare Transit of Venus happening on June 5 — so rare that it only happens every 115 years with two events clustered 8 years apart. What does this […]
In this episode of my podcast, Empowering Astrology, I sit down with wedding astrologer April Elliott Kent of Big Sky Astrology to learn more about selecting the most auspicious day to say “I do!” We also learn what goes into the foundation of an ideal wedding chart and get a […]
As a companion to my recent blog post, On 2012, I interviewed evolutionary astrologer Dena DeCastro for my podcast, Empowering Astrology. We talk about the upcoming transits and bring a balanced view to a year that has been hyped like no other. To listen, click here.
Over the last few years, “2012” has become this thing, this concept loaded with cultural speculation and a touch of doomsday hysteria. I’m not sure when exactly it entered mass consciousness, but somewhere, somehow — perhaps the new age community is to blame — the collective latched onto this idea […]

Like most people who live in large cities, I have a fairly long commute each day to and from work. The round-trip hour and a half of subway time is devoted to higher learning via spiritually themed podcasts. My commute is sacred. It’s my God time. I listen to my […]
On April 4, 2011, Neptune quietly slipped into Pisces for the first time in a century and a half. I say quietly because Neptune’s arrival didn’t pack the punch of Pluto’s entry into Capricorn nor Uranus’s into Aries. No, gossamer Neptune transitioned into Pisces like a gentle breeze announcing a shift in the direction of the weather.
Last week the world freaked out when a Minnesota astronomer sent out a press release stating that the zodiac signs had shifted over time and, surprise, you’re not the sign you thought you were. Even more shocking, there was now a new zodiac sign — Ophiuchus. Thanks to the power […]
The 12th house in astrology isn’t known for being particularly transparent. It is, after all, traditionally the house of secret sorrows and self undoings. That can’t be good, my teen-aged self once thought, especially as I looked nervously to my Mercury, Neptune, and Mars conjunction hovering above my ascendant. Secret […]
