Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
Uranus, the great awakener, turns direct in Aries, shaking our consciousness and opening us to new ways of expression and individualism. Be open to new insights, new ways of approaching old problems. Don’t be afraid to set out on a new course.
The Moon continues its journey through earthy Taurus, giving a nod to Saturn and Venus in Capricorn. As we wrap up the year, we may be feeling a little serious, a need to start hammering out a plan for the coming months.
Moon moves into Taurus, picking up on Saturn and Venus’s recent arrival in Capricorn. Leaving behind the fiery intensity of Aries, in Taurus we find stable footing. And Saturn and Venus bring a much needed dose of earthy practicality. Is it real? Is it worth it?
The Moon is burning its way through Aries, stirring up passions and deep emotions as it rounds its way past Pluto and Uranus. With Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio, too, careful of volcanic tempers. Use this energy to release old rooted feelings productively.
We’re rounding out the year and getting deeper into the Capricorn groove. With Venus having just joined up with the Sun and Saturn, this week has a serious tone. We may be asking ourselves, what do we really want out of life?
Mercury turns direct today, shifting gears during a busy time of the year. If you’re traveling, give yourself extra time. Double check information, too. Turning direct in Sagittarius, we’re tying up loose ends from early December — loose ends around truth, faith, and what we believe to be right.
Happy solstice! Here in the northern hemisphere we mark the first day of winter, a time when the light returns after increasingly dark days. For our friends in the southern hemisphere, it’s the first day of summer. The light will begin its descent.
Last day of Sagittarius Season. We say goodbye to our annual trip through the sign of knowledge, travel, and exploration and get ready for the solstice. With Saturn now in Capricorn — a huge celestial change — all eyes are now on the sign of maturity and responsibility.
