Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Moon’s in Libra today, which means we’re taking the energies of the recent Virgo New Moon, which is to say the energies of craft and an attention to detail, and bringing in beauty and harmony. Make the day beautiful. Reach out to others for connection.
Fresh off a Virgo New Moon, we get a reset for the year. It’s time to map out plans and make tweaks as we go into a new lunar month. We’re also navigating themes around vision, truth, and faith, as Mercury faces off with Jupiter.
We start the week in the energies of the new moon, one that wants us to get our lives back on track. Use today to strategize, plan, and get organized. With the Moon and Mercury in Libra, we need a helping hand. We also need to gather necessary resources.
Mercury changes signs, arriving in Libra and giving us a change in focus for the rest of Virgo Season. As the ruler of Virgo, Mercury turns our attention to relationships and connection. It’s also a time to gather resources, share what we have, and prioritize beauty.
Uranus turns retrograde at 18 Taurus, a major check in with a story of reinvention that’s been weaving its way through our lives since May 2018, March 2019. Uranus just wants us to be true to who we are. And sometime Uranus shakes up what’s blocking the way.
The Sun’s in Virgo now, which means it’s time to get back to work after the leisure and play of Leo Season. Virgo invites us to focus on the important details of human life. It’s a season to strategize for the future while putting things back into order.
Welcome to Virgo Season! We’re getting focused on the details of life, especially with this week’s Virgo New Moon, which gives us a reset. Uranus also turns retrograde at 18, a powerful marker in an ongoing story that began in May 2018, March 2019.
As the Sun reaches the end of Leo today, a sign it calls home, we’re on the threshold. What have we learned about joy and passion, creativity and being ourselves? When the Sun arrives in Virgo, we take this spark and hone it through craft and attention to detail.
Last day of Mars in Taurus, a sign it won’t return to until 2024. With so much happening in the fixed signs right now — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius — today may be a check in on our relationship with money, income, stability, and resources.
If we’re feeling a little indulgent, it’s because the Taurus Moon activates a luxurious trine between Venus and Jupiter. The heart wants what it wants, especially if it’s something that helps us revel in the pleasures of earthly living and material desires.
The Moon arrives in Taurus and we reach the last quarter moon, a check point that threads back to the full moon on August 11 and the first quarter moon on August 5. We’re reaching for solid ground and the support of what’s reliable and consistent.
Mercury in Virgo makes an electric trine to Uranus today, an aspect that can make for flashes of insight and helpful new perspectives — new perspectives that can help us organize our day differently or make positive changes in our health.
