Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The spotlight is on Mars in Cancer now that the Sun’s in Scorpio. As its ruler, Mars brings a double dose of water to Scorpio Season. It’s an element that presses on deep emotions, feelings of connection and belonging, as well as past, memory, home, and family.
Welcome to Scorpio Season. The Sun arrives in the eighth sign of the zodiac, kicking off a season dedicated to exploring the other side of the veil, the line that separates the living and the dead. It also delves into our darkest emotional heart.
Welcome to Scorpio Season. The Sun arrives in the 8th sign of the zodiac on October 22 and takes us into a sign dedicated to the mysteries of life. It’s no coincidence that it’s “spooky season”. Scorpio takes us into themes of life, death, going beyond the veil.
As we start the week, we reach the end of Libra Season. The Sun is at the last degree of the sign, bringing to a conclusion a season punctuated by a high-intensity solar eclipse. It’s a day of transition and reflection. What have we learned? What has changed?
Venus arrives in Sagittarius, an easy-going finish for Libra Season. Ruled by Venus, Libra Season is all about socialization and connection. Now with the support of Sagittarius, we find our generosity as well as our need for conversation and new experiences.
The Moon’s in Aries, a ramp up for tomorrow’s high powered Aries Full Moon. Ruled by Mars, Aries is the fuel for new beginnings and initiatives, the courage to start over, the desire to strike out on our own. Reinvigorate dormant projects and ideas.
Venus, on its way out of Scorpio, makes a beautiful trine to Neptune in Pisces, an aspect that evokes glamor, magnetic charm, and magical transformation. It also speaks to an opportunity to open our hearts to deep love and powerful intimacy.
An Aries Full Moon brings eclipse season to a finale. It’s an emotional charge forward. It’s a spark of inspiration that sets us off on a new journey. With Mars in Cancer, we reach towards the familiar. However emotions and impatience may run high.
Big Mars energies in the sky this week in advance of an Aries Full Moon on October 17. With the Sun also square Mars, it’s a day to create new initiatives, to find our power, to reach towards our goals and ambitions. We may also feel rushed and impatient.
Pluto turns direct at 29 Capricorn, its final leg in a sign it’s been in since January 2008. It’s the end of an era as well as the transition into something new. A key area of our lives has been irrevocably transformed over the last 16 years. What have we learned?
A Capricorn Moon means that we’ve reached the first-quarter moon after a solar eclipse. It’s a checkpoint, a time when events can manifest and we can see what this solar eclipse was bringing into our lives. Capricorn also speaks to maturity and responsibility.
Jupiter turns retrograde at 21 Gemini, the beginning of a second look at what we’ve learned and discovered since late May. Over the next four months we will examine our decisions, we’ll re-explore Gemini, a sign about education, communication, and information.
