Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We start the week off with a Moon in Taurus, one that not only brings us to the first quarter moon but one that gives us a lens into deeper themes around money, stability, and security — a big focus for 2022.
The Sun joins up with Saturn, a big sit down with the planet of maturity and responsibility. Can handle the responsibility of life? Are we ready to commit? It’s also a check-in with our Saturn in Aquarius story.
Mercury turns direct at 24 Capricorn, not far from the energies of Pluto. We need to take a deeper look at our blindspots and projections, our secrets and shadows. We may receive bracing clarity, too.
Coming off the energies of yesterday’s Aquarius New Moon, the Moon arrives in Pisces and brings us to the energies of Jupiter, also in Pisces. Reconnect to what’s in your heart and soul. Find beauty and magic.
We start February with a powerful Aquarius New Moon, one that brings an echo of eclipse energy as well as the energy of Saturn and Uranus. As a result, we may be at a crossroads or reaching for a personal milestone. Mercury also turns direct.
Last day of January. We’re on the cusp of the Aquarius New Moon, too, which means that we’re in that dark lunar space before a new beginning. Rest and reflect. The coming month brings an echo of eclipse energy.
As Venus prepares to turn direct this weekend in Capricorn, Mercury, also retrograde in Capricorn, meets up with Pluto. A lot of our work lately has been a deep reformation of what we value and how we communicate.
While we get our first taste of the South Node in Scorpio with today’s Scorpio Moon, let’s not forget that Mars is in Capricorn. Today’s energy points towards achievement, but also letting go of what’s not working.
The Moon arrives in Scorpio, a reminder that the South Node of the Moon is now in Scorpio as of last week. We’re in a new chapter of time, one where we have to peer beneath the surface and look at the dark within.
Mercury returns to Capricorn, winding back to events from late December when Mercury was last in the sign. Time to get a second look or second opinion. Capricorn gives Mercury clarity and focus.
The story continues to change. Building upon last week’s shifts of Uranus and the Lunar Nodes, the planets Mars and Mercury arrive in Capricorn, albeit at opposite ends. Venus also comes to the end of its retrograde, turning direct in Capricorn.
Mars arrives in Capricorn after six weeks in Sagittarius, powering and motivating us to get serious, focused, and organized. We’re in building mode. And with Saturn in Aquarius, we’re building for the future.
