Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re half way through January! It’s a good time to take a moment and review your monthly horoscope. Now that we’ve gotten into a powerful new lunar month, you’ll have a different perspective on what I wrote about. (If you know your rising sign, read for it as well as […]
Back when I wrote about Saturday’s game changing new moon, I proposed that January 13–14 may be time frame when we’re really getting an idea for this lunar month is about. Keep in mind that new moons seed the reality that we experience over the following 28 days (aka the […]
We talked a little bit yesterday about the trend bucking, eccentric energies of Venus + Uranus. Venus has been in Sagittarius over the past couple of weeks, infusing our experiences of beauty and value with Sagittarian themes of freedom, faith, and the exotic. Uranus is a spark of individuality? But […]
Between the Moon in wonderfully weird Aquarius and Venus’s line up with Uranus today, I’ve been thinking about non conformity, from trailblazers to artistic geniuses, especially in the light of David Bowie’s death. (For students interested in David Bowie’s natal astrology, he had Aquarius rising with a Saturn/Pluto/Moon stellium in […]
Happy Monday! We had a powerful Capricorn New Moon that lined up with Pluto and Uranus, setting us up for a lunar month full of twists and turns. Capricorn is the sign of commitment, responsibility, and achievement. Pluto makes us look into our shadow, it helps us rebirth. Uranus is […]

Does something feel different? Do you feel stirred to make a change? Break free from the old? Set off in a new direction? The Sun and Uranus just finished making a square, an aspect that’s all about motivation. And we couldn’t have had more of an invigorating push to start […]
Are you feeling overwhelmed? We’re in the middle of two intense astrological alignments — Sun conjunct Pluto and a square Uranus — that will put the cosmic squeeze on us today and tomorrow. If the language of aspects is a bit new or advanced for you, let me put it […]
My oh my, there’s a lot of stuff going on in the sky today. And it’s all pretty big deal. First, let’s get Mercury Retrograde out of the way. Yes, the planet of communication, travel, thinking, ideas, and movement turns retrograde today and will trace a path from 1 Aquarius […]

We’re heading into Mercury retrograde tomorrow plus a potent new moon on January 9 (incidentally the same day as Empowering Astrology’s sixth birthday).

Yesterday we looked back at Venus’s tour through Scorpio, a sign that can be a little bit of an uncomfortable placement for her. But as of this morning she’s moved onto Sagittarius, the sign of freedom, exploration, and greener pastures just beyond the horizon. Over the next four weeks we’re […]
