Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Another Scorpio Moon day, another day to dig into our emotional and psychic landscape. We get support from Saturn and Mars, two planets that can help us to create lasting emotional connection. First, we need to be open to our intimacy and vulnerability.
Mars returns to Leo and Mercury is back in Aries, a shift in gears for the final days of Aries Season as both planets return to the signs they started their retrograde. The Sun arrives in Taurus on April 19, a new season to enjoy the pleasure and beauty of Venus.
We’re coming off a Libra Full Moon as we start the week, an energy that may be illuminating a key part of our lives and asking us to set boundaries and reevaluate relationships. With the Moon in Scorpio, emotional intimacy, power, and trust are an added focus.
Mercury in Pisces and the North Node meet up today. The doors of fate swing open and closed. Our decisions and choices may send us in a new direction. There’s a call for compassion and understanding. Events from mid-March may come to the forefront.
Another Virgo Moon day, another day to get organized, put things in order, and tend to the details. We’ve come full circle since a Virgo lunar eclipse a month ago, a call to take action. Use this energy to set healthy initiatives in motion.
The Moon’s in Virgo, a Moon that wants to clean up and clean out. It’s a burst of “spring” cleaning. But it also highlights Mercury newly direct in Pisces. Part of our work today is to help others, to be of service, to find the balance between heaven and earth.
Mercury and Venus turn direct alongside Saturn in Pisces, a planet that may demand that we make a commitment, set a boundary, and put things in order. Along with a Libra Full Moon, it’s time for us to know our value, to let go of what has reached an end.
We start the week off with Mercury Direct in Pisces at 26 degrees, a shift in cosmic gears in advance of Venus Direct on April 12. When planets go from retrograde to direct, it’s time to integrate what we’ve discovered over the last few weeks.
With the recent Aries solar eclipse still very present in our thoughts and experiences, we arrive at the first-quarter moon, a notable astrological checkpoint after an eclipse. Mars is our guide for the next six months. We’re finding our power, our determination.
The Moon divides its time between Gemini and Cancer today, moving the day through two very different energies. Gemini has us in the hustle and bustle of life. Cancer has us slowing down to focus on home and matters with family or the household.
The Moon’s in Gemini today, a busy combination alongside an Aries Sun. We have things to do, places to go. We may be feeling curious, chatty, and social, too. With Mercury in Pisces, don’t forget to slow down, to listen to the quiet voice within.
Venus, in the last stretch of its retrograde, meets up with the North Node in Pisces today, a rendezvous that speaks to fated encounters, new love, or an opportunity to find compassion and forgiveness. With Saturn nearby, commitment is on the agenda.
