Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
With the North Node of the Moon moving into Pisces, our collective “due north” will point to a sign of compassion and creativity. While this marks a larger shift for 2025, we will see smaller moves this week with Mars in Cancer and Mercury in Capricorn.
As we start the week, Mars returns to Cancer, a retrograde review of a sign it was in from September to November. It’s an element shift, too, from fire to water, an element about the past, memories, home, family. We’re motivated to create emotional connection.
Venus arrives in Pisces, the sign of its exaltation and a sign where it does its best work. The next four weeks are an invitation to find beauty and glamor, to open our hearts to unconditional love, to invest in the connections that enrich us — body, mind, and soul.
The Moon’s in Aquarius, a sign that takes the new beginnings of a recent Capricorn New Moon and creates systems. Aquarius moves with vision, big ideas, and a larger vantage to build and construct. In return, what do you want to build in the New Year?
Welcome to 2025! The Moon’s in Aquarius this New Year’s Day, a sign that turns our focus to the future, to new horizons. Aquarius speaks to the importance of community and finding our place in the world. It’s also our first New Year’s with Pluto in Aquarius.
Last day of 2024, a year that has been a bridge to a new era. With the energies of yesterday’s Capricorn New Moon, we’re ready to turn over a new leaf in 2025, instead reinvesting our time and energies in the experiences that nourish the heart and the soul.
Welcome to 2025! A Capricorn New Moon brings us into the new year, a new moon to make new foundations with, ones that fulfill and support. Mars Retrograde also makes an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, a second in a series of evolutionary pushes.
We round out the week as well as the last days of 2024 with Mercury square Saturn. This is the final square in a series of squares that has taken us back and forth through Mercury Retrograde. What conclusions have we come to? Are we ready to commit?
Another Scorpio Moon day. Another day to sort through our deepest self and hidden emotions. If the winter solstice helps to bring the light, Scorpio is a reminder that the light reveals itself through Scorpio’s alchemical work. Have a dialogue with what you are feeling.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. The Moon is in Scorpio, which adds a heavier energy to the day. With the Moon pointing us towards Mars retrograde in Leo, we’re also navigating themes around identity and self, our connections to community and friends.
Jupiter in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces today, the second of three squares that will take us into 2025. As societal planets, Jupiter and Saturn shape our world. They can also personally inspire and motivate us in very different ways to take our lives further.
Welcome to Capricorn Season! Tis the season for maturity and responsibility. As Mercury and Jupiter square off with Saturn this week, we may be turning yet another corner. There are choices to weigh, options to consider. Conversations have a serious tone.
