Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Cancer Moon brings us into the last quarter moon, a time to integrate all we’ve learned since the previous new moon as well as prepare for the coming lunar month. We’re feeling nostalgic for the past, too.
It’s that time of year again; Mercury turns retrograde. Although its energy is known for turning things upside down, it’s important to have a different awareness of this time, using this energy to reflect, recalibrate, and see relationships from a different perspective.
Mercury turns retrograde in Libra. Over the next three weeks we’re reviewing our relationships, taking a second look at the needs of others, and bringing balance to our connections.
A Taurus Moon takes us into the weekend, one that picks up on yesterday’s opposition between Venus and Uranus and its seismic shift in our values. Don’t flinch from the inner work. It yields inner revelation.
Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus. A story of change and reinvention comes to a head. Are we safe? Can we open up? Can we face our inner saboteur? Have the courage to take action.
Welcome to Libra Season! The Sun arrives in the 7th sign of the zodiac, kicking off a month of exploration of relationships and partnerships, beauty and harmony. Libra reminds us that we can’t do life alone.
Last day of Virgo Season, our annual time to tend to the many practical details of daily life. We’ve worked, we’ve organized, we’ve prioritized our health. As we close this season out, time to tie up the loose ends.
We start the week off with a Pisces Full Moon! One that brings us to the liminal spaces of our lives. We may need to let go in order to move forward, forgive in order to heal. We’re also saying goodbye to Virgo Season as the Sun arrives in Libra on September 22.
Venus in Scorpio squares Saturn in Aquarius. Relationships are at a turning point. We have to make a decision or a commitment. We’re also checking in with a major astrological story — Saturn square Uranus.
The Sun opposes Neptune, but trines Pluto. We have support as well as an opportunity to make a lasting change. While Neptune can feel emotionally confrontational, revealing what we have to let go, Pluto is the necessary alchemy.
Although the Sun opposed Neptune yesterday, we’re still in its hazy energies, ones that blur Virgo’s usual critical eye. Instead, we have to rely on our intuition, finding compassion when things aren’t perfect.
Mars arrives in Libra for a six week stay. Although classically not at home in Libra, this is a Mars that has to learn to compromise and find consensus. Relationships are a big focus over the coming weeks.
