Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
With the Moon crossing from Taurus to Gemini, we get some wind in our sails today and life is a bit busy. With Mercury trine Jupiter, we’ve got big ideas, too. But we have to have more discernment with our choices; Mercury and Jupiter are retrograde.
Lots of planet comings and goings as Jupiter in Taurus turns retrograde just as Venus in Leo turns direct. It’s a week that inspires us to look towards the world, to seek out meaning and purpose, but also to make sure we know what’s truly important.
We start the week with Jupiter turning retrograde, a planet whose job it is to expand our horizons. In Taurus, Jupiter has been teaching us about value and worth, stability and resource. We may be feeling philosophical about what we need materially.
We go into the weekend with an Aries Moon, one that touches on themes of money and income, material stability and security. Am I safe? Do I have everything I need? It’s also a weekend to focus on projects, cleaning out physically and emotionally.
Last day of August and we’re navigating yesterday’s Pisces Full Moon and its emotional currents. With Saturn still on our minds, we may be weighing our options, trying to find the balance between the needs of the heart and the needs of our everyday lives.
A lot of moving pieces this week. Uranus turns retrograde, a shake up that builds upon a larger story of transformation. We’ve also got a Pisces Full Moon, one that pushes us to make a commitment. Mars also arrives in Libra and gets us ready for eclipse season.
An Aquarius Moon gets us back to work, turning our focus towards projects and needed organization and structure. Picking up on a recent opposition between the Virgo Sun and Saturn in Pisces, we need to get serious about a commitment.
Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus and our week starts off with a kick, one that shakes up the status quo or changes how we see things. Whatever is unfolding connects to a larger story of awakening that began in 2018, 2019 when Uranus first entered Taurus.
The Moon’s in Sagittarius today, a sign that opens us up to the world and gets us to search for truth in meaning. With Jupiter in Taurus, it’s important to integrate into our lives the principles that we hold. It’s the foundation that nourishes everything.
Mars comes to the end of Virgo and forms a trine to Pluto in Capricorn, a powerful force that pushes us to reform and transform. We have an opportunity to clean things out, make things over, and even move mountains. Put this energy into practical use.
Welcome to Virgo Season. The Sun arrives in the 6th sign of the zodiac, leaving behind the play of Leo for the structure and duties of Virgo. As an earth sign, Virgo teaches us about the importance of taking care of our lives through organization and service.
Last day of Leo Season, a time to reflect and integrate our season with the Sun. Our lives now hopefully brighter and reinvigorated, we prepare to step into Virgo, a season that takes the creative spark of Leo and puts it into shape and form.
