Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Do you take action? What’s your relationship with leadership, drive, will? Do you stand up or stand down? Mars turns retrograde today, kicking off two months of reviewing these very themes. We’re looking back and tying up loose ends instead of moving forward.
The Moon in Sagittarius picks up on an indulgent, romantic connection between Venus and Jupiter. We may be longing for travel or looking at photos of beautiful, faraway lands. It’s also a day to explore, search, and discover different tastes or foods.
Cancer Season kicks off by touching a nerve. With the Sun squaring off with Chiron into this weekend, we may be feeling triggered. Chiron shows us our emotional, psychic, and spiritual knots, which hold us back. It’s a weekend for healing work.
Happy Solstice! For those of us in the northern hemisphere, we welcome summer and with it the longest day of the year. For our friends in the south, it’s the start of winter as well as the rebirth of the light. Plus, the Sun is now in Cancer!
It’s the last day of Gemini Season and so we’re wrapping up this annual stroll through the sign of curiosity, ideas, and communication. Tomorrow is the solstice, a time when we mark the beginning of summer in the north and winter in the south.
Today’s Virgo Moon is all about the daily necessities of life — work, organization, and schedule. But a beautiful alignment between Mercury, Jupiter, and Neptune brings the magic. Be open to new opportunities, especially relationship and heartfelt connection.
We wrap up Gemini Season this week and get ready to welcome the Sun into Cancer, which means we’re only a few days away from the solstice. In the meantime, we’re still focused on communication. Gemini teaches us that words matter as do choices.
We start the weekend with a Cancer Moon highlighting home, family, and emotional connection. With Mercury also in Cancer, we need to express how we feel. It’s still Gemini Season after all, a sign that needs to talk. Make time for a heart-to-heart with a loved one.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is in Leo, trading Cancer’s nostalgia and connection for creativity and romance. In Leo, Venus wants to be adored. It loves to be loved and share that love in return. It’s a time for us to value our talents and individuality as well.
On the cusp of a Gemini New Moon, we descend within. It’s a moment to reflect, meditate, and to look at ourselves. Mercury is also about to change signs, arriving in Cancer and teaching us that words and ideas can have an emotional impact.
We’re in the dark of the moon. Only two days before the start of the lunar month, this is the time to pull inward and reflect. It’s also an intuitive time, one where our dreams and invisible realms are more accessible. On Wednesday, June 13, we begin again.
We start the weekend with a restless Aries Moon, one that needs to move. With the energy pointing over to Mars in Aquarius, we may be filled with big ideas and quick to share our intellect or opinions. Keep an eye out for pointed exchanges or conversations.
