Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars is wrapping up its stay in Leo, a sign that has stirred passion, fueled creativity, and inspired us to be ourselves. Before Mars leaves Leo, however, it will pass through the energies of the solar eclipse. We may see a twist or turn this weekend as a result.
Mercury dips back into Leo and we’re coming to the end of our retrograde journey. Over the coming days we’re digging into choices from late July — choices around individuality and identity. Time to review, time to see things from a different perspective.
What does it all mean? The Moon rounds out its stay in Sagittarius and we’re in a reflective, philosophical mood. In fact, the Moon isn’t the only planet in Sagittarius. Saturn’s putting the pressure on us as well, pushing us to look both in and out for answers.
We may be feeling the pangs of wanderlust today, a need to explore as well as a hunger for knowledge. With the Moon in Sagittarius, we’re being pointed toward the horizon, toward distant lands and other cultures. Time to see the world.
Although the solar eclipse was last week, we’re still in its potent energies of change; the story is still unfolding. In fact Mars, rounding out its stay in Leo, will activate the solar eclipse degree on September 3, setting events in motion.
Saturn may have turned direct, making things a bit heavy and serious, but let’s not forget Venus. Today the planet of love and beauty arrives in Leo for a three week residency. Venus in Leo is fun, glam, and turns up the star power.
How deep in your faith? How far will you travel to find your truth? Life may feel a bit serious as Saturn prepares to turn direct tomorrow in Sagittarius. Culminating a two year meditation on philosophy and how we see the world, we can no longer be neutral.
Welcome to Virgo Season! With the Sun now in the 6th sign of the zodiac, we open up to the energies of work, service, health, and nutrition. If things feel messy post eclipse, use Virgo to make a list and get organized over the next four weeks.
The Moon’s in Gemini, Mercury’s still retrograde, and we continue to review and reevaluate our choices. The beauty of Mercury Retrograde is that it gives us an opportunity to choose something new. With Saturn opposing the Moon, we will also have to face the reality of our choices.
Moon moves into restless, inquisitive Gemini today, touching on our current Mercury Retrograde story. Over the last few days we’ve started to take a second look at our choices. What is working in our life and what is not? What needs a fresh pair of eyes?
Moon in Taurus picking up on some prickly vibes. Normally Taurus likes to keep things chill, but we’re dealing with big issues around value, security, trust, and stability. As we gear up for next week’s eclipse, pay attention to what you are feeling today. It’s all connected.
Mercury turns retrograde tomorrow at 11 Virgo, drilling into the choices we’ve made and discernment needed to known right from wrong. With energy running high and fast, Mercury will help us take a step back, reflect, and be more thoughtful and conscientious.
