Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re on the eve of a new moon. Typically a time to pull back, we instead find rest and repose. We turn inward for answers and we prepare for the cycle to begin again. That said, an electric square between the Sun and Uranus is a point of friction and evolution.
Venus picks up on a supportive trine from Uranus in Taurus, an opportunity to discover something deep within ourselves or to let go of a memory or emotional attachment that keeps us in the past. There is an unsentimental quality to Uranus. Sometimes that is necessary.
The Moon brings us into the dark of the moon, the time in the final days of the lunar month when the light grows faint. Time to go within, to reflect, and meditate. We’ve come full circle since the new moon of January 11. We prepare to begin again.
Mercury arrives in Aquarius, the first of the personal planets to meet up with Pluto in Aquarius. Mercury takes us into Pluto’s forge to reshape and transform how we think and communicate. Look for clues that hint at what the Pluto in Aquarius era will be about.
A Scorpio Moon takes us into the weekend, a moon that wants us to investigate and get to the bottom of a mystery. It’s also a moon that brings us out into the world, to focus on our duties and responsibilities, our ambitions and successes.
Crossing between Libra and Scorpio, the Moon brings us to the emotional intensities of life. Scorpio pushes us to find our power, to take command, to have a firm hand on the steering wheel of life. It’s also a day to take our duties and responsibilities seriously.
The Moon continues to drive our experiences this week, focusing our attention on Libra as well as Venus in Capricorn. We may be in Aquarius Season, but the Moon threads our experiences through different signs and energies. Relationships are a priority.
The Moon arrives into Libra, a sign that not only highlights relationships over the next couple of days, but themes of justice, equity, and fairness as well. With Venus in Capricorn, however, we’re looking for a deeper connection, a connection built on commitment.
Although a relatively quiet week with the aspects, we step into a week with Mars squares the Nodes. It’s a preview of the March-April eclipses. We’re also inspired to take action, build new futures. Plus, a jolt of Uranus Direct wakes us up with the unexpected.
We start the week with the Moon in practical Virgo, supported by Mercury in Capricorn. It’s a day to get work done, to put things in order. As much as Virgo is about taking care of our physical lives, we may also need to tend to our emotional health and wellness.
Fresh off a Leo Full Moon, everything is illuminated. Leo loves to socialize, have fun, and spend time with friends. With Uranus about to turn direct, we may be in for a jolt or a push for a new perspective. It’s a week of evolutionary energies and life wants to evolve.
Welcome to the Leo Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on passion and joy, creativity and self expression. Ruled by the Sun, Leo invites us to discover what makes shine and fuels our lives. It reminds us that play is a necessity to life.
