Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
It’s the last days of Virgo Season, a season to regain focus and practice our craft. It’s one last push with the practical energy of Virgo before we arrive in Libra. The Sun also opposes Neptune and reality may be hazy, the veil thin, our dreams vivid.
A Scorpio Moon starts our week off, one that takes the energies of the recent new moon and gets them moving. It’s a day to organize, strategize, and weigh our options. Mars in Libra is also keen on investments and investing in the future.
Mercury turns direct in Virgo after a three-week rewind. We needed to get new perspectives, test old systems, and recheck the facts. What did we discover? Mercury Direct also gives life to yesterday’s Virgo New Moon. Time to set projects and initiatives into motion.
It’s been a quiet start to the week, but something is stirring and moving behind the scenes. We’re in the run up to tomorrow’s Virgo New Moon followed by Mercury’s direct turn, also in Virgo. The coming days are a time to make choices and take concrete action.
The Moon grows quieter. It continues to be a time to pull inward and reflect. With the Moon in Leo, daydream and find creative inspiration to fuel new projects or initiatives. The coming Virgo New Moon will be a time to put these inspirations into reality.
A Virgo New Moon brings us deeper into the energies of Virgo Season, a time when we refocus on our earthly lives and make sure everything is running smoothly — mind and body. With Mercury also turning direct, it’s a time to reorganize, clean up, and clean out.
The Moon is waning as we start the week, pulling inward in preparation for a new moon on September 14. It’s time for us to reflect on all that has changed and awakened since the Leo New Moon of August 16. Meditate and open up to new visions.
We get a boost from the Virgo Sun and Jupiter in Taurus, two planets that make for bold, confident, and indulgent pairing. We want to see the world. We want to share our ideas and knowledge as well as our opinions. We want to try everything.
The Moon’s in Gemini today. With Mercury Retrograde, are we coming or going? Is it a yes or a no? We’re weighing our options. We’re also rounding past the last quarter moon and starting to wrap up a powerful lunar month that began on August 16.
Mercury enters the heart of the Sun, a midpoint for our most recent retrograde. What have we learned since Mercury turned retrograde on August 23? What new perspectives and new choices have we considered? It’s a day for a flash of awareness.
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.
