Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We start the week on the midst of some big deal astrology. While some of it’s subtle, tugging on emotions and questions of faith and meaning, some of it’s confrontational. There’s a face off brewing between Mars, Mercury, and Saturn and it’s a major reality check.
We start our weekend with a Leo Moon, bringing in the energies of creativity and passion. This is a Moon that loves to be loved. It also loves having fun, perfect for your Friday and Saturday. With the Gemini Sun plus aspects to Jupiter, travel is highlighted too.
The Moon trades Cancer for Leo, element water for fire, the energies of emotional connection for the energies of creation. We have a little more wind in our sails and expect the next couple of days to be busy with activities, appointments, and movement.
Today’s Cancer Moon not only reminds us to take care of ourselves and to make sure we’re having heart-to-heart connection, but it’s also a reminder that we’re on the cusp of eclipse season and Cancer is a sign that’s powerfully leading us forward this year.
Mercury moves into Cancer and we enter a new phase of Gemini Season, one that’s driven by heart-to-heart communication and connection. Information alone isn’t enough. It’s about listening and empathy. It’s also a day of new beginnings.
Happy Gemini New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to new ideas and new choices. Gemini is a sign that puts us in touch with the curiosity of life. For that it’s information and learning, communication and listening, travel and exploration.
We start the weekend with a Taurus Moon, one that reminds us to be in the joy and pleasure of life. With Venus also in Taurus, it’s about good food, comfort, and money. Venus harmonizes with Saturn and Pluto, too. It’s a powerful day to build and transform.
Mercury faces off with Jupiter today, an aspect that can speak to big ideas as well as an overwhelm of information. If Mercury is letters and words, then it’s Jupiter in Sagittarius that brings into into something larger — wisdom, knowledge, faith, and philosophy.
Mercury squares Neptune today. Things may be not what they seem. While perfect for fantasy, poetry, photography, and even creative writing, it’s not exactly known for its honesty. Double check the veracity of everything. Or, just enjoy the beautiful illusion.
As the Moon wraps up its time in Pisces and moves into Aries, the day may feel as though it has two very different halves. And we may have a harder time trying to get things started until later in the day, once the Moon arrives in action oriented Aries.
Slow start to the week as the Pisces Moon would rather sleep, rest, and dream of other worlds. We may also be in a philosophical mood as the Moon picks up on Jupiter in Sagittarius, a planet that’s having us figure out what we believe in this year.
We go into the weekend with an Aquarius Moon, ensuring that our Friday as well as our Saturday is busy with appointments, dates with friends, and travel. Paired with the Gemini Sun, it’s all about element Air — movement, connection, communication.
