Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
Mercury arrives in Capricorn, a grounded influence in advance of tomorrow’s dynamic Gemini Full Moon. As much as we’re feeling restless and impulsive, Capricorn demands maturity and a level head. We’re weighing our options against the future.
A Gemini Full Moon lights up our week. It’s all about ideas, information, and new horizons. With a focus on a feisty Mars Retrograde, we’ve got to be careful not to be too impulsive. Mercury and Venus arrive in Capricorn, giving restraint and maturity.
We start the week with a Taurus Moon, one that brings us back to last month’s lunar eclipse at 16 Taurus. With its spotlight on Uranus in Taurus, we’re feeling a push today to reinvent, break out of old habits and patterns, and reach for solid ground.
Neptune turns direct in Pisces tomorrow at 22 degree, closing a five month retrograde. Things are a little hazy at the moment and perhaps a little overly sensitive, too. We’re trying to find a solid footing as the energy ebbs and flows. Dreams and intuition are vivid.
Sparks fly as Venus and Mars oppose each other. Are we fighting or flirting? Venus and Mars get turned on by intellect and inquisitive conversation as well as the thrill of adventure. As the ruler of the Nodes, relationships may be at a turning point.
