Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Sun and Jupiter align in Scorpio, giving us new opportunity to explore and create deeper emotional connection. As the sign of intimacy, Scorpio invites us to open up and reveal the hidden parts of ourselves. Be generous with your love and what you have to share.
Today’s Capricorn Moon picks up on Saturn’s final pass to Chiron. Pay attention to what’s coming up today, especially if it hits a deep emotional nerve. It’s rooted in something much deeper. How can you see things from a different perspective? Even if it’s your pain?
As the Moon wraps up its stay in Sagittarius, it’s a reminder that we’re coming to the end of this long Saturn in Sagittarius journey. We’ve had to work hard to define what we believe in. Soon, Saturn will give us a report card.
Welcome to Scorpio Season! The Sun arrives in the 8th sign of the zodiac and we naturally turn our attention to themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and trust — life’s deeper emotional material. Scorpio also straddles the divide between life and death, this world and the next.
Although we’re wrapping up Libra Season, the Sun moving into Scorpio on October 23, we just had a Libra New Moon, which will create some complexities in the coming weeks. Scorpio has depth to Libra’s surface, an emotionally intensity to its polite charm.
We’re on the cusp of a new lunar month. And while the Libra Moon usually prefers sweetness and partnership, we’ve got a couple of prickly connections to Pluto and Uranus in the mix. Translation, our interactions may be charged or confrontational.
What’s secret, taboo, or intimate? Mercury moves into Scorpio and we’re more likely to divulge, especially as Mercury and Jupiter meet. On the flip side, Mercury can be obsessive in Scorpio. We’re tenaciously getting to the bottom of a mystery, even if it’s uncomfortable.
We’re wrapping up the lunar month, one that began back on September 20. During the last four weeks we were asked to clean up. Today’s Virgo Moon is a check in on our progress. What still needs to be tidied up? Organized? Or tossed out?
After four weeks of tidying up and falling in love with the details, Venus prepares to leave Virgo. Truthfully, Venus isn’t super comfortable in Virgo, having to learn the quiet pleasure of service versus adoration. But, come tomorrow, Venus is back home in Libra.
Venus and Mars rounding out their time in Virgo and we’re getting a push from the cosmos to clean, organize, and tend to the details of daily life. Mars in Virgo, in particular, is a drive for perfection. Venus in Virgo, on the other hand, finds beauty in order.
Time for a reality check courtesy of Mars square Saturn. Have we taken care of all the details? Are staying on top of our health? Are we doing our work? Don’t forget your to-do list today and, more importantly, don’t push your limits.
Jupiter, the planet of new horizons and worldly experiences, moves into Scorpio for a year long visit. As the teacher and explorer, Jupiter will take us through Scorpio’s deep emotional waters to discover the hidden riches in the most intimate spaces of our lives.
