Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
Last week of Leo Season. We begin to downshift after a couple weeks of high powered astrology. As we close out the lunar month, we’re looking for answers and perspective. Mars also arrives Gemini, a sign it will be in for eight months.
A focused Aries Moon takes us into the week. With Mars trine Pluto, we have the force and drive to make things happen. There’s a competitive spirit in the air. We’re also feeling out our convictions, our truth, our sense of right and wrong. Travel is also highlighted.
The Moon rounds out its time in analytical Aquarius, switching into intuitive Pisces, but we’re still in the energies of yesterday’s full moon. What was illuminated for you? With Saturn at the forefront, something has to take shape in our lives or come to an end.
The Leo Sun squares the Lunar Nodes, an interstice where time bends. We feel the energies of the eclipses. Something may come in and out of our lives. We turn a corner. Time threads its way backwards and forwards. We get a preview of future eclipses.
A Capricorn Moon puts things into reality. With Mars still lingering in aspect to Saturn, this may be a day that pushes us to make structural changes. Use this energy to get organized, make healthy initiatives, and work on relationships.
Another bumpy week as we come up to the Aquarius Full Moon, one that puts Saturn in the spotlight as well as the lessons we’ve been learning since 2020. The Sun squares the Nodes and Uranus and were at a powerful crossroads. Venus also arrives in Leo.
We’re coming off of a heavy line up of astrology and catching our breath as we start the week, one that will see a powerful full moon and a check-in with Saturn and Uranus. Use the pause in action to start implementing the necessary changes.
We round out the week with a Scorpio Moon, one that not only brings us to the first quarter moon, but to a dynamic lineup of planets in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius — also known as a fixed cross, a configuration that brings us into the forces of creation.
Mercury arrives in Virgo, embarking on a three week return home. In Virgo, Mercury finds its analytical side, taking ideas and information and running them through our critical thinking. Health and wellness, education and learning are a highlight, too.
