Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius. The past is the past. We can’t go back. A new story continues to emerge, one that first began in 2023, but we may be struggling to let go of the old. Use this week to work on building new systems. Mercury also arrives in Taurus.
A Taurus New Moon turns our focus towards material matters. The next four weeks will be a check-in with money and income, resource and property. It’s also a call to rediscover life’s earthly pleasures. Plus, Pluto turns retrograde at 3 Aquarius.
Mars returns to Leo and Mercury is back in Aries, a shift in gears for the final days of Aries Season as both planets return to the signs they started their retrograde. The Sun arrives in Taurus on April 19, a new season to enjoy the pleasure and beauty of Venus.
Mercury and Venus turn direct alongside Saturn in Pisces, a planet that may demand that we make a commitment, set a boundary, and put things in order. Along with a Libra Full Moon, it’s time for us to know our value, to let go of what has reached an end.
Neptune arrives in Aries, a sign it has not been in since 1875. If Neptune represents an evolutionary force, one that blurs the boundaries between the material and spiritual worlds, its time in Aries will be lived through the lens of action and new beginnings.
Big news this week. We reach our second eclipse of the season, an Aries New Moon solar eclipse that sets the stage for the next six months. Eclipses mark new chapters and directions and Aries is a reboot. Neptune, after 13 years in Pisces, also arrives in Aries.
Welcome to Aries Season. It’s the start of the astrological year and we begin anew. With Mars in Cancer, this is a season to focus on home and family. But we’re also in a magical, liminal time between a lunar and solar eclipse. It’s a time of transition and change.
This week’s eclipse at 23 Virgo is one of the marquee events for 2025, putting the spotlight on creating order and structure. It’s also an eclipse that creates a need to be of service, to put things in order, to clean things up, to tend to our health and wellness.
We’re in a new lunar month, one that brings us to our first eclipse next week, a lunar eclipse at 23 Virgo. With Mercury arriving in Aries this week, another page turns in our ongoing eclipse story. Mercury brings an energy of renewal and new beginnings.
After two months, Mars is now direct in Cancer, a release of pent up energy. We’re also coming to a Pisces New Moon on February 27, the official kick off of Eclipse Season. We enter a lunar month marked by an eclipse on March 14. Serious decisions to be made.
Welcome to Pisces Season! We’ve reached the last sign of the zodiac as well as the end of the astrological year. It’s a season that brings us closer to eclipses and their pivotal energies. Mars also turns direct in Cancer after two months retrograde.
A Leo Full Moon lights up the sky and brings in the energies of Uranus, a planet that inspires reinvention and awakening, shake ups and breakthroughs. Mercury also arrives in Pisces, our first hint that we are approaching eclipse season and a Virgo lunar eclipse. If you are in AUSTRALIA […]
