Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Another hot tempered Aries Moon day. Something that has been simmering, may come to a boil. With Mercury coming up to a conjunction to Pluto, whatever comes out may be very revealing. Use this energy positively to face your emotional shadows and let go of the past.
Today’s brash, restless Aries Moon turns up the temperature on our emotions. This is a Moon that needs a lot of movement, from physical exercise to getting its feelings off its chest. With the Moon pointing to Mars, emotions may be sharp, brutally honest.
Venus arrives in Aquarius, teaching us the value of community and friendships. Here Venus needs space to roam, intellectualize, and connect with various social and political ideals. Unconventional, Venus in Aquarius makes its own rules in relationships and beauty.
The Moon slips into Aquarius, moving our attention away responsible Capricorn and towards community. As an air sign, Aquarius is social connection, teaching us about belonging, whether its our friends, our national identity, or even our identity as humans.
The Moon’s in Sagittarius, our time each month to connect to our internal GPS that points us forward and inspires us to explore the world. With Jupiter in Scorpio, we’re exploring the hidden side of life as well — the intimate, emotional, and deeply esoteric.
Now that Mercury has changed signs, joining the ranks of Saturn, Pluto, the Sun, and Venus, we’ve got another addition to this stellium in Capricorn. This means that maturity and responsibility are a major focus. We’re taking stock of time and making hard choices.
Mercury at the end of Sagittarius today, leaving its retrograde shadow and closing out a long story from the start of December. Tomorrow, Mercury will arrive in Capricorn. But, before that, what did we learn? How are we making better choices for ourselves?
With four planets in Capricorn, there’s a fair bit of emphasis on all things Capricorn right now — duty, responsibility, boundaries, and the the power of saying no. But it’s Venus in Capricorn that’s teaching us about currency, from our worth to what our worth can buy.
We start the week off on a powerful note as the Libra Moon picks up on the Sun, Venus, and Pluto, all aligned in Capricorn. Negotiation, cooperation, and connection are key. We have to take responsibility and make a change. Pluto’s influence makes it nonnegotiable.
Mars, slowly making its way through Scorpio, joins up with Jupiter and adds fuel to Scorpio’s need to get to the deep dark heart of the matter. This is an emotional revelation, a transformation. Only weeks away from the eclipses, Mars and Jupiter strike the chords of fate.
The Leo Moon touches on the nodes of fate, reminding us that we’re less than a month away from the eclipses. Pay attention to what you are feeling, hearing, and experiencing. This is a preview. It also threads back to the eclipses from August 2017.
The Leo Moon lifts us out of an emotional full moon, giving us more confidence and motivation. But it’s still Capricorn Season and we’re being asked to take Leo’s talents and creativity and put them to practical use. Time to make good on your New Year’s resolutions.
