Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re bringing Libra Season to a close, a season that was punctuated by a powerful solar eclipse. Relationships, Libra’s purview, will still be a primary focus into next year. As the Sun prepares to leave the sign, it squares with Pluto. It’s a weekend of transformations.
Mercury, right behind the Sun, meets up with the South Node of the Moon, an energy that is not unlike an eclipse. Conversations may feel fated or have a deep connection to the past. We have the potential to make a choice that releases us from the past.
The Libra Sun meets up with the South Node of the Moon, a point of crossing that is not unlike an eclipse, even if the actual eclipse was a few days ago. It’s another passage in an ongoing journey this eclipse season. A relationship needs our attention.
The Moon crosses between Scorpio and Sagittarius, between a space where we had to reflect on what’s valuable and important to a need to try to make sense of things and arrive at the best conclusions. After the heaviness of the past few days, it’s a push to get moving.
We’re in the space between the eclipses, a two week passage where two chapters of time overlap. It’s a portal for things and even people to come in and out of our lives. Even though eclipse season takes us forward, we’re saying goodbye to Libra this week.
We’re between the eclipses. Can you feel it? A portal or intersection between two different threads of time? A twist or knot in the fabric of our lives? While we’re two days past a solar eclipse, its energy still brings us forward into something new.
Welcome to the Libra New Moon. This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention towards relationship. It’s a solar eclipse, too, which makes for powerful new beginnings. Over the coming months, we’re prioritizing connection, harmony, balance.
If Mars is action and motivation, then its journey through Scorpio is an exceptionally powerful placement. After all, Scorpio is ruled by Mars, a sign that covers themes of intimacy, power, vulnerability, wealth as well as death and rebirth.
Mars returns home to Scorpio, trading Libra for something far more familiar. As a result, there’s a chill in the air, the realization that we’re in a stage of the year that brings the decay necessary for new life to begin. It’s also the courage to seek deeper connection.
The Sun and Chiron face off in an opposition, an addition to an already crowded field of planets in advance of the October 14 solar eclipse. There’s a demand for healing. We have to have the courage to move on, the bravery to seek something better.
Pluto turns direct in Capricorn, one of the planet’s final turns in a sign it has occupied since 2008. It’s one final push to restructure before Pluto leaves in 2024. It may also be a day if not a week of revelations. Something previously hidden may come to light.
Powerful week as we arrive at a Libra Solar Eclipse, one that pivots us into a new chapter and draws upon the transformative energy of Pluto Direct and Mars newly in Scorpio. Doors are opening and closing. Relationships are in the spotlight. Emotions are raw.
