Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Another week of big shifts as Saturn, the big hand on the clock so to speak, moves back to Capricorn for a five month review. We’re returning as well as wrapping up a story that began at the start of July 2018.
Big shifts this week as we not only come off a Cancer New Moon solar eclipse, but Neptune turns retrograde, Venus turns direct, Mars squares the Lunar Nodes, and then Mars arrives in Aries for a six month stay. Life’s turning us in a new direction. Hang on!
Originally recorded with Ophi Edut of the AstroTwins in December 2019 and released in January 2020, I called a rare conjunction of Saturn and Pluto a “wrecking ball” at the time.
As we open up a new chapter courtesy of the June 5 lunar eclipse, we’re beginning to close another that began in July 2018 with this week’s solar eclipse in Cancer on June 21, right on the solstice, the punctuation at the end of a two year sentence.
We’re between the eclipses. With Neptune and Mars so strong in the astrology, how do we surrender to the new life that’s coming in?
We’re in eclipse season as we come up to the first in a trio of eclipses on June 5. In the sign of Sagittarius, we have to examine our beliefs, issues of faith, truth, and meaning. It’s about facing the shadow within.
With last week’s Gemini New Moon, we’re in a new lunar month and a new season, one that highlights communication, ideas, information, connection, and choices. It also means that we’re in eclipse season; a full moon lunar eclipse is just two weeks away.
We make the move from Taurus to Gemini Season, from earth and our material lives to air and our need to learn and experience. A Gemini New Moon on May 22 marks this transition further, setting up a time for new initiatives with writing, learning, travel.
Busy week as two planets change signs and three planets change direction, all in the course of five days. Life shifts gears, new stories and new rhythms emerge.
It’s the first week of May, a month where we’re going to see a lot of celestial gear shifts. This week we start with the Lunar Nodes moving into Gemini-Sagittarius. We’re collectively moving from the sign of home and family to movement, travel, and learning.
I’m joined by Christina Caudill of Radiant Astrology for my inaugural video for my series, Why We Need Astrology More Than Ever. This will be an ongoing discussion with different astrologers as to why astrology is best suited for these uncertain times.
Mercury arrives in Taurus this week on April 27, a sign that wants us to slow down and enjoy life. In the first few days of this week, it’s not a time to rush forward or make decisions impulsively without weighing our options.
