Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Today’s Scorpio Moon is a not so gentle reminder that we’re sliding into a time of the year when it’s about decay and a clearing of the old to make way for the new. You may be in the southern hemisphere and enjoying the first buds of spring, but we’re […]
Yesterday we began a powerful new lunar month, one focused on Libra. Think relationships, collaboration, cooperation, harmony, and peace. But with stressful aspects to Uranus and Pluto, we’ll have our work cut out of us over the next few weeks. How will we leave the past behind? Be true to […]
Hallelujah! Mercury is officially out of retrograde! Pivoting right at 0 Libra, Mercury is on what’s called the world axis aka one of the four cardinal points. This may be more of a potent station than normal because of the power contained in this degree. We may not only move […]
Today Venus will say goodbye to Leo and hello Virgo, the sign of purity, service, and organization. If we’re playing by the old astrology rules, Virgo isn’t exactly the best placement for Venus. The ancients would say she’s in her “fall” (because she’s in the opposing sign she’s exalted in, […]
Venus is finally winding her way through the final degree of Leo after four MONTHS in the sign of creativity, performance, self expression, and romance. By comparison, Venus normally spends four weeks in a sign. The reason Venus was in Leo so long is because she retrograded from July 25 […]
A lot of stuff happening in the sky! Can you feel it? Now that the Moon is in Leo, it will add some lunar fuel to today’s Sun/Pluto square. And, let’s be clear, Pluto makes for blunt astrology. Even though the Sun is in peaceful Libra, Pluto ain’t got time […]
I’ve been shedding light on tomorrow’s opposition between Mars and Neptune, two planets that have been calling on us to examine the tension between what we want versus some sort of higher plan. (Check out my write up last Friday in case you missed the details.) But it’s not just Mars […]
We’re in the build up to Tuesday’s opposition between Mars and Neptune. What does surrender mean to you? What does it mean to accept that we can’t control everything? That there are forces greater than us, like a tidal wave? What does it mean to have compassion for those who […]
Yesterday marked the half way point of Mercury Retrograde, which began on September 17. I haven’t talked much about it because, honestly, there’s just been so many other things going on. Like Saturn in Sagittarius, a solar eclipse in Virgo, and a lunar eclipse in Aries — all marquee astrological […]
The Moon is in Taurus today, reminding us all of the need for solid ground and stability after a rocky past few days of eclipse shake ups. Taurus is an earth sign. It’s primal urge is to seek shelter, comfort, and the resources needed to feel secure in this world. […]
How are people faring after Sunday’s lunar eclipse in Aries? I’ve been hearing a few classic eclipse stories aka swift events that bring an end to something, a no turning back, or realization that it’s time to move on. Because eclipses activate the lunar nodes, it’s not uncommon to experience […]
Happy Monday! We had a powerful Aries lunar eclipse yesterday that ignited the energies of Virgo even more. (Aries is ruled by Mars; Mars is in Virgo; Jupiter is in Virgo as well.) Keep in mind that lunar eclipses are a time when we really see things for what they […]
