Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Venus arrives at the end of Aquarius, threading its way through eclipse degrees. Even though we’re a week away from the solar eclipse, the past couple of days gave a preview. Venus asks, do you value who you are? Do you value your place in the world?
With the Moon in Sagittarius, we’re feeling philosophical today. We’re also searching for truth meaning. The Moon will also meet up with Mars, so be careful of Mars in Sag’s tendency to be overly opinionated. Be open to ways of seeing old problems.
The Scorpio Moon angles its way past recent eclipse degrees. Like a seamstress, it threads a line back to February and August 2017, the two previous eclipse cycles. Today is part of a greater lunar tapestry, one that has helped us discover a deeper sense of identity.
The Moon passes through Scorpio and we turn towards life’s darker shades. Scorpio teaches us about the shadow, the facets of ourselves that we don’t want to recognize, the facets that show up in our relationships. Intimacy, vulnerability, trust are key themes today.
The Sun’s pulling away from the South Node of the Moon. The past few days have touched on karmic themes, karmic lessons, and the soul’s past. Events are emotionally charged right now and there’s a subtext to our experiences as we get closer to the solar eclipse.
Virgo Moon day. It’s time to pay attention to the details, set a schedule, and get things organized. Perhaps not the most glamorous way to start our weekend, but certainly the most productive for Saturday projects. Mercury in Aquarius helps us look to the future, too.
We’re a day past the Leo Lunar Eclipse, but its potent energies are still very active. Doors are opening and closing over the next day. Plus, one eclipse down and another to go. Between this and a solar eclipse on February 15, we’re in a vortex of change.
We’re in the gate for tomorrow’s lunar eclipse, one that will fall in Leo. Eclipses are electric. They can quickly usher things in as well as out of our lives. With the Leo Moon and Aquarius Sun, there’s a tension between who we are and our place in the world.
We open the week with a Cancer Moon, one that pulls us inward and touches on all the things that give our lives substance — home, family, care, and connection. Cancer can make for quiet energy, but this week will be anything but quiet. We’re coming up to lunar eclipse.
Mars arrives in Sagittarius for a seven week stay, inspiring us to travel great distances or seek out education and new experiences. In Sagittarius Mars has a desire to know. It’s an obsessive seeker of truth and a collector of opinions, some of which can be a touch self righteous.
Another Taurus Moon day, a sign that puts us in touch with the energies of the earth. A Taurus Moon needs to feel safe, stable. It needs to experience the pleasure of living, from good food to the comfort of things around us.
Taurus Moon picks up on Venus in Aquarius today, pulling us between Taurus’s need for sensuality and intimacy versus Aquarius’s big picture ideals. Feed your intellect today as well as a need to balance real life with your vision for the future.
