Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
I’ve been thinking a lot about Neptune and the energy of redemption lately. Whenever we encounter the energy of the outer planets there’s an act of surrender that has to happen. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto govern forces outside of the personal. We can’t do ego with the outer planets. So, […]
Even though we’re rounding out the last few days of the lunar month, a quiet time normally about endings and release, there’s a crackle of electricity in the air as Mars and Uranus build up to Thursday’s opposition. As a result, we may be feeling an impulse to make a […]
Happy Monday, everyone. We’re still surfing a rough wave of astrology that will peak later this week. Just yesterday, Mars and Pluto squared off, an intense energy that spoke of endings, things outside of our control, and powerful transformations. If you are a Scorpio or Aries — or if you […]
Later this evening Venus will arrive in Scorpio, spending the next four weeks in the sign of death, rebirth, intimacy, power, and wealth. Scorpio isn’t an easy sign for Venus and in the classical rules she’s in her “detriment,” which is just another way of saying that she has to […]
Ever since Mars crossed into Libra on November 12, we’ve been in the build up to a couple of tense astrological aspects. Mars is action, it’s a spark not unlike a catalyst. Libra is a cardinal sign. It lines up with the four directions; it initiates the start of a […]
Happy December! Wow, we’re about to put the wraps on 2015. Per usual, I’m tardy with my monthly horoscopes. As we all patiently wait for them, here’s a couple of things to keep in mind. The Sun is in Sagittarius and Jupiter, the ruler of Sag, is over in Virgo […]
We’re contrasting between elements today. On one hand, with the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Leo, we’re feeling the fire. Think creativity, adventure, travel, self expression, and performance. Sag and Leo make for fun loving, dynamic energy, too. But the Sun just made a conjunction to Saturn and […]
Another layer to all this Saturn/Neptune angst, questioning of spirituality, and faith is tomorrow’s Chiron station. When a planet stations, which is to say that it comes to a halt and changes direction, it saturates the collective with its archetype. And what is Chiron? Deep emotional knots that we get […]
Today Saturn and Neptune make an exact square, a connection that doesn’t happen very often. A square is friction; two planets running up against each other with different agendas and Saturn and Neptune couldn’t be more different. If Saturn is structure and worldly ambitions, then Neptune is sacrifice, release, and […]
Mercury will make a conjunction to Saturn today and if you’re a Gemini or a Virgo, you may be feeling a pressure to figure things out, make a commitment, and get clarity. Mercury is communication, movement, thinking, and learning. The mind is focused, sharp. Even if you’re neither of these […]
Happy birthday, Sagittarius! You’re the sign that teaches us to think big, cast our eyes to the horizon, and set off on great adventures. Ruled by the planet Jupiter, you are the philosopher, the preacher, the teacher, the vagabond, and the explorer. Sagittarius has a reputation for great wisdom — […]
After zipping through Scorpio, Mercury will trade its X-ray vision for a one way ticket to a far off, exotic destination when it arrives in Sagittarius at 2:43 pm EST. Technically Mercury in its detriment in Sagittarius, but how can travel, philosophy, education, and publishing be such a bad place […]
