Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Aquarius Full Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we shine a spotlight on all things Aquarius — friendships, community, social networks, and our place in something bigger.
Jupiter squares Pluto today, the last of three connections that has pushed at the boundaries of our faith and beliefs since late 2016. Pluto employs intense pressure to anything it touches, forcing a reckoning as well as a total transformation.
Uranus, the planet of consciousness and awakenings stationed retrograde in Aries yesterday. This brings a restless, potentially disruptive energy to an already high voltage month. Something is changing and this energy will carry us into the eclipses.
How has your view of the world changed over the last two years? Has your faith been rattled? Or have you had to remake your beliefs? The Moon’s alignment with Saturn in Sagittarius today may bring a need for commitment as well as emotional heaviness.
The Moon is in Sagittarius today, touching on themes of exploration, education, philosophy, and faith. As the sign of truth, Sagittarius pushes us to the far limits of our mind as well as the earth in search of it. What do you believe in?
Venus moves into Cancer today, bringing its natural charm to the sign of home, family, and nostalgia. If Venus shows us what we naturally love, then our heart will yearn for emotional connection as well as stability and a good old fashioned, home-cooked meal.
A Libra Moon takes us into the weekend, highlighting partnership, cooperation, and even beauty. Venus, the ruling planet of Libra, teaches us about the sweetness of life. Take pleasure, which won’t be too difficult with indulgence minded Jupiter in Libra, too.
After an brash line up of the Sun and Mars in Leo, today’s Libra Moon offers needed tact. Use Libra’s natural diplomacy not only to smooth over ruffled feathers, but find common ground. And, as a socially driven sign, Libra connects us with the needs of others.
Mars is super hot right now. It’s in Leo, joining up with the Sun in an alchemy of passion and enthusiasm. But Mars also tends to get pissed off easily so our tempers may be running hot as well. Channel your aggression into creation not destruction.
Both the Moon and Mercury scoot into Virgo today, taking our creative Leo energy, fresh off the new moon, and giving it a dose of practicality. Virgo editorializes, Virgo crafts. Whatever is forming in our life right now needs our discernment — and some elbow grease.
Yesterday’s Leo New Moon started us off on a lunar month that will stoke our creative fires. With a lunar eclipse only two weeks away, we’re poised to make a powerful change in how we express who we are, value our talents, and connect with others.
We’re not only in the dark of the moon today, but the Sun is at 29 Cancer. The last degree of any sign has a weight to it, a demand for maturity and responsibility. What have we learned about emotional connection as well as caring for ourselves?
