Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio. Something hidden may be revealed. A secret may be discovered. We’re getting to the bottom of a mystery. Over the coming weeks we’re pulling back so we can get a new perspective, making new choices where necessary.
It’s a Libra New Moon this week, which means that we’re trading one chapter for another, one that will turn our focus to relationships and partnership, design and beauty, peace and harmony. But with Saturn and Pluto nearby, it’s a milestone for this year’s astrology.
We’re rounding out the lunar month this week, which means that it’s time to wrap up projects and initiatives that we started in September. We’re also on the cusp of Mercury Retrograde. Keep this in mind if communication, choices aren’t so clear right now.
Mars makes its second square to Pluto, two planets that are like an evolutionary force combined, bringing great pressure to change. Don’t be surprised if something old — anger, aggression — comes up. Pluto can reveal and transform something previously hidden.
Today’s Cancer Moon not only means we’re turning our attention to matters of home and family, but we’re arriving at the last quarter moon. It’s the last stretch of a story that began on September 17 with the new moon. Things are coming into focus.
Another busy, restless day as the Moon continues its way through Gemini. We’re obsessed with the facts. We need ideas, thoughts, and information. We have to get to the bottom of something. What we find may change the way we see things, dramatically so.
The Moon moves into Gemini and we’ve got things to do, places to go. It’s a chatty and social day, one where we’re sharing our opinions as well as looking out into the world for new ideas. With Mercury opposite Uranus, information may shock or illuminate.
It’s a new month; it’s Libra Season, a time when we focus on our many relationships and partnerships. But with a strong Mars energy this week, there’s a lot going on in how we interact and connect with others. Something must change.
We go into the week with a Taurus Moon, one that’s touching on emotional themes. Am I safe? Can I trust? Can I be open? We’re searching deep within, too, confronted by heretofore hidden emotions. After all, Pluto just turned direct and it’s holding a mirror to us.
We’re coming off an intense Aries Full Moon, one that may have been inspirational and motivational or even confrontational. As a result, we’re taking action as we go into the weekend, moving forward with anything the full moon demanded that we tend to.
The Moon rounds out its time in Pisces today, getting us ready for tomorrow’s Aries Full Moon. Use today to rest as the astrological energy is on the tense side this week. An Aries Full Moon can be dynamic and inspirational, but also confrontational.
Mars squares Saturn as Saturn turns direct. It’s a day to set boundaries and expectations, to take a serious look at our relationships. Our actions must also have focus, discipline, accountability. We’re at the last stage of something that began nearly three years ago.
