Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
This week’s a bit chockablock with major planetary configurations. As I’ve mentioned the past couple of days, Jupiter and Uranus have their final face off, making for a buzzy, confrontational energy. Today may shock or awaken, our relationships may demand more.
The Moon continues its journey in Sagittarius, not only activating a tense and edgy face off between Jupiter and Uranus, but Saturn as well. Restless, we’re feeling pulled in different directions. But Saturn is demanding that we get clear about our next steps.
Today’s Moon in Sagittarius picks up on the growing tension between Jupiter and Uranus. Facing off at opposite ends, we may have something uncomfortable to own up to — a truth, a belief. How we see the world may be shaking, opening us up to new ways of thinking.
Welcome to Libra Season! This is the time in the zodiac calendar when the Sun shines on how we relate to others. For that Libra is relationships, partners, consensus, and socializing. Ruled by Venus, Libra is also the sign that teaches us about beauty and harmony.
Fresh off a Virgo New Moon, we bid adieu to the Sun in Virgo. Tomorrow we’ll arrive in Libra, bringing us into a new season and equal parts day and night. Although we’ll be exploring Libra’s themes of beauty and relationship, we still have Virgo work to do.
We’re on the edge of a new moon, the start of a lunar month that will refresh the narrative. Falling in the sign of Virgo, the coming four weeks will be focused on themes of work, discipline, health, wellness, and honoring intention and ritual in our daily lives.
The Sun is coming up on its annual opposition to Chiron. When two planets face off, it’s a reckoning, a critical point when something must be dealt with or a decision made. Today must look at our deep emotional pain, our knots, and our psychic wounds.
The Leo Moon takes us into the weekend, inspiring passions. But we’re at the end of the lunar month, which may mute some of Leo’s natural enthusiasm. More importantly, we’re checking back in on August’s eclipse energy. Keep an eye out for fated encounters.
We’re rounding out the lunar month, one that began with a fiery Leo New Moon paired with a solar eclipse. As a result, our lives have lurched in a new direction, perhaps dramatically so, or we’ve closed out one chapter and prepared for the next.
The Sun makes its last major connection to Saturn in Sagittarius, signalling the final leg of a nearly three year journey in search meaning. We’ve had our faith tested. We’ve had to define our truth. How we see the world has greatly changed.
What are you trying to master? What are your goals? What do you keep reaching for despite set backs and adversity? The Sun and Saturn square off into tomorrow and we’re feeling a pressure to do better, to push higher and make something of ourselves.
It’s a “get our act together” themed week as the Sun comes up against Saturn. In short, this is our quarterly check in with the planet in charge of making sure we grow up, honor our commitments, and make something of ourselves. Here’s your progress report.
