Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to Capricorn Season! The Sun crosses into the 10th sign of the zodiac and marks the winter solstice. It’s the longest night of the year here in the northern hemisphere and we celebrate the return of the light. It’s a season to build and reach for our goals.
Jupiter arrives in Aries, making a great crossing from one end of the zodiac to another. It’s a new cycle as well as a new voyage. While Jupiter was in Aries from May to October, this revisit marks a new phase, a burst of life as we leave Sagittarius Season.
Happy Solstice! It’s not only the start of Capricorn Season this week, but Jupiter returns to Aries after a brief revisit of Pisces. It’s like a breath of new life as we close out Sagittarius Season. We also have a Capricorn New Moon, too, marking new beginnings.
It’s the last day for Jupiter in Pisces, a sign that it won’t return to for another twelve years. As it hovers at the last degree of sign as well as the last degree of the zodiac, it’s a day to prepare ourselves for the next grand chapter, leaving behind the past.
Mercury in Capricorn makes a trine to Uranus in Taurus, a flash of insight and new perspective for the planet of communication, education, and choice. Be open to inventive solutions to old problems. Make choices that break free from the past.
Mercury in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries, a series of three aspects during Mercury’s long journey through Capricorn that takes us into the end of January. Mercury and Chiron are the courage to say the hard thing, to set healthy boundaries in relationships.
The Sun makes its final square to Neptune in a series of aspects that takes us back to March 13. Neptune is better felt than seen. It pulls at the edges of reality, blurring its boundaries. It can inspire deep emotional movements and acts of compassion.
The Leo Moon has us in a philosophical mood, adding to an arrangement of planets that want us to answer big questions. That said, a Leo Moon’s priority is always passion and adventure. How does that help us to reorient our compass find larger truths?
It’s a week that brings different chapters, large and small, to a close as Sagittarius Season winds down and Jupiter hovers at the last degree of the zodiac, ready to arrive in Aries. It’s also the darkest days before the winter solstice and the rebirth of the light.
The Sagittarius Sun picks up on support from Saturn in Aquarius, a firm hand as we start our week. Time to get organized, focused on our priorities, and make commitments for the future. Saturn brings clarity to decisions. A Leo Moon helps us to find vision.
Venus arrives in Capricorn, joining Mercury and shifting the tone towards Saturn, a planet that speaks about our material world as well as the lessons we have to learn. Sagittarius can be enthusiastic and inspirational. But how will we put things into reality.
Building off of yesterday’s Gemini Full Moon, the Sagittarius Sun and Mars oppose one another. This is a high energy aspect that can inspire acts of courage and leadership or run hot and temperamental. It may be a day of debate or conflicting points of views.
