Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
One of the undercurrents to this week’s tough face off between the Sun and Saturn has been the influence of Neptune. Turning retrograde today, it’s infused the past few days with a deep sensitivity and heavy emotion. We feel everything and everyone with Neptune.
As the Sun and Saturn complete their opposition today, we may be feeling the weight of time as well as the responsibilities of life. Saturn helps us to grow older, but it also pushes back when we’ve overstepped the mark or struggled to follow through.
The Moon is in Aquarius, triggering a tense face off between the Sun and Saturn. Life may feel very serious at the moment, making demands for commitment and responsibility. Our faith and ideology may be tested as well. Try to be impartial and see the big picture.
Mercury squares Neptune today and we may be getting our wires crossed. Since we’re in Gemini Season — aka Mercury Season — this is having a direct impact on communication. Make sure you’re getting the right information. Better yet, meditate and daydream.
We’re a couple of days past the Sagittarius Full Moon. With its strong aspects to Saturn and Neptune, we may be feeling emotionally heavy. Saturn is the weight of time and responsibility. Neptune, however, is the sacrifice that life sometimes demands from us.
We’re only a day away from the Sagittarius Full Moon, but the spotlight is already on legal matters, the media, and information. Plus, the full moon will fall on the same day as Jupiter Direct, creating a big push for you to profess your faith.
Gemini Season just got a boost! After meandering through Taurus, Mercury moves into Gemini, amping up our need for exploration, travel, information, and new ideas. The next two weeks will favor all forms of communication as well as education.
Venus is finally in Taurus after three months of back and forth sluggish energy! In fact Venus is quite at home in Taurus, the sign it rules. Over the next four weeks, until July 4, we’ll experience Venus’s love of pleasure, earthy sensuality, and material abundance.
Cancer, the sign of home and family, just got a visitor. Over the next six weeks Mars will heat up one of the most fundamental parts of our life, dredging up feelings of need and security. While Mars in Cancer demands connection, it also can be quite fussy.
Feeling frustrated? Mars, in the final degrees of Gemini, will make a square to Chiron today and things may not be going according to plan. Our actions may feel thwarted. If emotions bubble up, a deeper story may be coming up for you to heal.
Both Venus and Mars are rounding out stays in Aries and Gemini respectively. Come next week we’ll see a shift in the weather after a few months of false starts and do-overs. Venus will breathe life to fertile, earthy Taurus. Mars will press emotional buttons in Cancer.
Virgo Moon day. We turn our attention to our health, our work, and the dedication we need to keep our daily lives running smoothly. With Pluto supporting Mercury as well, it’s a perfect day to research and get to the bottom of a mystery.
