Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Coming off of Sunday’s powerful solar eclipse, we start the week off in a new time, one that not only stretches to the end of the year, but also puts us on a very different path. Things may be shaking a rearranging as a result. After all, that’s what eclipses do.
We’re in the dark of the moon as we go into the weekend, a quiet time to retreat, reflect, and shed anything from the past. But we’re also on the doorstep of a Cancer New Moon on June 21, a solar eclipse that will be a powerful portal to the second half of 2020.
Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer. Over the coming three weeks, until July 12, we’re reworking how we communicate and make decisions. Mercury in Cancer runs on gut instincts and memory. How much of our past is getting in the way of being in the present?
Another Taurus Moon day and we continue to wind down the lunar month. We’re moving more slowly. We’re continuing to weigh our options. On the cusp of a lunar eclipse, we may feel the energies of change beginning to shift the tectonic plates of our lives.
The Moon’s in Taurus and we begin to slow down after a heavy, intense lunar month. We’re thinking about the future and what it possibly holds. We’re hoping and dreaming for something better while weighing our options and choices.
As we open up a new chapter courtesy of the June 5 lunar eclipse, we’re beginning to close another that began in July 2018 with this week’s solar eclipse in Cancer on June 21, right on the solstice, the punctuation at the end of a two year sentence.
We start the week off with an Aries Moon, a Moon that usually like’s to take action, move forward, and go after what it wants. But with Mars in Pisces alongside Neptune, we have to be compassionate with our actions and move forward with empathy.
The Moon joins Mars and Neptune in Pisces as we go into the weekend. It’s a call to let go as well as surrender our expectations. We’re at a crossroads as the Moon squares the Lunar Nodes. The direction forward may not be what we expected.
The Moon moves into Pisces and we pull inward to reflect, feel, and intuit. As we contemplate our direction for the coming weeks and months, how do we orient ourselves with our higher path, separating the needs of the ego versus something greater?
Another Aquarius Moon day, another look at the bigger issues facing us all — society and justice, systems and networks. It’s also a day to examine our beliefs about ourselves and how we see the world. The old structures have to change.
The Moon’s in Aquarius today and we turn our focus to the needs of others. Aquarius is a sign that puts us in touch with community, society, and the systems and networks that run our lives. It’s our humanity … and sometimes our inhumanity.
We’re between the eclipses. With Neptune and Mars so strong in the astrology, how do we surrender to the new life that’s coming in?
