Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re in the waning days of Taurus Season, a time in the zodiac calendar when we experience the sensuality and pleasure of the physical world. It’s also a time to shore up our resources, from income to the things we need to create a stable, grounded life.
Mercury arrives in Taurus and we’re starting to pull out of the Mercury Retrograde shadow! We’re still in review, looking at events and choices from early April. Do we still value the same things we did a month or so ago? Given the chance, would we choose differently?
Mercury reaches the final degree of Aries today, wrapping up a story that began in late March. While Mercury in Aries can be impulsive and brash, today the choices are stark. Is it a left or a right? Regardless a new beginning awaits.
We sail into the weekend with a Sagittarius Moon, inspiring us to look abroad and seek exotic shores. As a sign in search of wisdom and experience, Sagittarius will go to the ends of the earth for to find it. If not through travel, then certainly through education.
Coming off the energies of yesterday’s Scorpio Full Moon, we may feel shaken, confronted by intense emotions or circumstances. As the Moon moves into Sagittarius today, time for some soul searching. What do we still believe in? Is our faith intact?
Today is power day. Use it wisely! With the Sun in Taurus picking up support from Pluto in Capricorn, it’s about money, stability, and securing our material needs. But the sky is a little unstable at the moment. Don’t be surprised if the day throws you the unexpected.
While the Moon rounds out its stay in Libra, highlighting relationships and interpersonal dynamics, we’re gearing up for a powerful Scorpio Full Moon. Trust, intimacy, sexuality, money — all the stuff that makes us emotionally uneasy — will be up for review.
The Moon is still in Virgo, highlighting the energy of diligence, practice, and organization. Virgo is a bit of an unsung sign, but it’s a necessary one. By tending to the details, we ensure that life runs smoothly and productively. Get to work today.
Today’s Virgo Moon will pick up the steady practicality of the Taurus Sun. If we want to manifest our dreams, shaping them from the earth, we have to have a plan. Be inspired to break out of the mold, but be real about what you want to create.
Mercury is finally direct! We’re slowly edging our way out of this listless stretch of 2017. That’s not to say the retrogrades haven’t had their purpose. Between Venus and Mercury Rx, we now have a better understanding our our value and how to communicate it.
Today’s Leo Moon is the first test of what we began on the April 26 Taurus New Moon. Whatever seeds we planted in Taurus’s rich earth need our attention. Leo brings vitality to our creations. It’s also the joy of bringing new things into life.
Hello, May! We welcome in a season that celebrates, through the sign of Taurus, fertility, pleasure, and the natural world. With Venus in fiery, passionate Aries, we’re going after what we want this month and not apologizing. Watch out for ruffled feathers.
