Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’ve reached the dark of the moon, the final day of a lunar month that began with a solar eclipse on April 20. It’s a day to take stock, to reflect on the changes or possibilities that Eclipse Season brought our way. Tomorrow’s Taurus New Moon gives us a reset.
Jupiter, now in Taurus, makes a tense square to Pluto in Aquarius, an energy of reformation and transformation. We may feel like we’re pushing up against something. There’s a tension around value and worth. We’re working to bring something into manifestation.
There are big moves afoot! Jupiter leaves Aries for Taurus, arriving in the sign for the first time in 11 years. If Jupiter in Aries was about new beginnings and the spark of new life, then Jupiter in Taurus is about these sparks and new beginnings taking root.
Jupiter arrives in Taurus! The planet of faith and philosophy turns our attention to the material plane for the next year. We also have a Taurus New Moon, a big boost for recent eclipse energies. Mars also arrives in Leo, bringing us into a dynamic second half of May.
Jupiter reaches the end of Aries, a journey that took us back and forth through the first sign of the zodiac since May 2022. Jupiter planted the seeds for new beginnings. It inspired us to dream of new futures, new avenues, and new adventures.
Venus, newly in Cancer, makes a trine with Saturn into the weekend. It’s a time for relationships to take shape and to take form, to rally behind a sense of connection and commitment. It’s a steady hand after a season of shakeups and transformations.
The Moon moves into Aquarius and we’re at the last-quarter moon of a lunar month that took us from a solar eclipse on April 20 all the way to a powerful Scorpio lunar eclipse on May 5. What’s changed? What new characters have arrived into our lives?
The Moon in Capricorn today, reminding us to reach for solid ground in the midst of a lot of ups and downs. Capricorn plays off the earthy energies of Taurus Season, a push to get organized, to return to our duties and responsibilities, to cultivate our ambitions.
The Sun and Uranus unite in Taurus, a spark of awareness, a jolt of something new, a reminder of a larger story that has been with us over the past few years. This is an energy that demands transformation and reinvention, a breakdown or a breakthrough.
We say goodbye to another Eclipse Season. The lunar eclipse may have passed, but its energy is still with us. The Sun and Uranus in Taurus shake things up. Venus is now in Cancer, a shift for Taurus Season that brings us back home in search of connection.
Eclipse Season begins to wind down now that last week’s powerful Scorpio Full Moon eclipse is behind us. However, we’re still navigating its dynamic energies. Look for swift changes in direction, sudden new opportunities, or a push to leave something behind.
The Moon arrives in Scorpio and we’re in the run up to tomorrow’s high powered Scorpio Lunar Eclipse at 14 degrees. With aspects to Uranus, this lunar eclipse may be a major pivot point for the year. Uranus wants us to shake us awake and get us to reinvent.
