Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Moon spans between Capricorn and Aquarius, two signs that speak to the structures and systems that life is built upon as well as the power that fuels it. As a result, we’re working on themes of community, society, and equity. Plus, we’re between the eclipses.
Emotions run high as we prepare for tomorrow’s lunar eclipse Sagittarius Full Moon. Between Mars and Neptune in Pisces and Mercury’s square to Chiron, what we’re feeling is deeper than this moment in time. It is coming up so it can be healed.
The Sun and Venus align in Gemini; we’ve reached the midpoint of Venus Retrograde, a time when we need to reevaluate and reflect on what we value and how we connect to one another. It’s also a time to reconsider relationships, beauty, and our choices.
The Moon travels from Libra to Scorpio today, from element Air and social connection to element Water and deep emotions. With Mars in Pisces, we’re feeling deeply sensitive, empathic, compassionate, too. We’re also working on projects and towards our goals.
We’re in eclipse season as we come up to the first in a trio of eclipses on June 5. In the sign of Sagittarius, we have to examine our beliefs, issues of faith, truth, and meaning. It’s about facing the shadow within.
It’s June. And we’re officially in eclipse season. Emotional energy runs high. We’re navigating capital L Life events. This week, in the run up to the June 5 lunar eclipse, we may be on the verge of major decisions or even a change in direction.
The Moon’s in Virgo today, a Moon that wants to get organized, work on projects, and clean things up. It’s a Moon that loves practice and ritual, dedication and skill. With Mercury newly in Cancer, we’re feeling sensitive, our emotions heightened.
Mercury crosses into Cancer, a sign that it will work its way through until August 4. If Mercury is communication, ideas, and learning, then in Cancer Mercury relies on its intuition in instinct. It’s a kind or comforting word. It’s empathy. It learns by feeling.
The Moon moves into Leo and we’ve got things to do, places to go, and people to see. It’s also a day to focus on the words we’re using and the conversations we’re having. With Mercury on the North Node, conversations and information may feel fated.
The Moon rounds out its time in Cancer today, touching on themes of material stability and security and all the complicated emotions that come with those themes. Do we have enough? Are we safe? Memories and emotions may bubble up, too.
With last week’s Gemini New Moon, we’re in a new lunar month and a new season, one that highlights communication, ideas, information, connection, and choices. It also means that we’re in eclipse season; a full moon lunar eclipse is just two weeks away.
We start the week off with a Moon in Cancer, a nostalgic moon that pulls us towards the past to spend time at home, cook old family recipes, or to gather the things we need to feel safe and secure. With our world shaking, what are we reaching for comfort?
