Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re half way through Mercury Retrograde, our periodic rewind. What are you having to do over? Rethink? Although Mercury Retrograde can come with a side of hijinks and breakdowns, it helps us make new choices after seeing the result of our previous ones.
The Sagittarius Moon lightens the mood a little, inspiring us to explore and dream of far off places, but we’re still surfing a serious vibe courtesy of Jupiter in Scorpio. The sky’s a little testy, too, so look out for philosophical debates and hot headed exchanges.
Scorpio Moon touches on Jupiter, opening us up to themes of vulnerability and trust. As a water sign, Scorpio teaches us about the power of emotional connection as well as facing our fears. Jupiter gives us the faith to dive into Scorpio’s unknown.
Moon in Scorpio cranking up the vibes on this intense Mars/Saturn mashup we’re having today. Not exactly the easiest of energies, but not only makes for a powerful start to the workweek, but the start of a new cycle of achievement.
Tomorrow’s the Libra full moon. We’ve been building up to this all week. Seeing how full moons put a spotlight on a certain area of our lives, we may have a decision to make, especially a decision to make about a relationship or connection.
We’ve been having our first big check in with Saturn during this new Saturn in Capricorn era. Which is to say that, this has been a week to make big plans and think about how we’re going to go level up in our maturity, ambition, achievement.
Should I stay or should I go? We may be asking ourselves that as Venus comes up to a date with Uranus. Do we powerfully break free or do we double down and commit? And, as a result, we may be feeling pulled in two directions in our relationships.
It’s still a week dominated by Saturn, a planet that wants you to hustle — hustle to earn a living, hustle to show maturity, hustle to be self sufficient. And we’re reminded that success and achievement are often born of crisis. Saturn is pushing you to react, take command.
A Leo Moon energizes the start of our week, adding fuel to Aries Season. We want to rush forward with new ideas, but we’ve got Saturn calling the shots. Slow and steady wins the race. Saturn wants a plan and it also wants responsibility and commitment.
We start the weekend with some spicy energy. Venus in Aries comes up to a seductive square with Pluto, showing us the darker side of love, from power and control to taboo. Plus, the Sun and Mars are heating up, bringing issues in our relationships to the forefront.
Mercury turns retrograde in Aries. Despite wanting to, we can’t rush, we can’t cut corners. Saturn will be keeping a close watch during this retrograde. Everything has to be methodical and to its exacting standards … or we’ll quickly see the consequences.
What’s your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve? It may be Aries Season, a sign that has us raring to go, but we’ve got some bigger things to hammer out. Plus, tomorrow is Mercury Retrograde. Our plans need a second look.
