Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
It wasn’t just Mercury that changed signs yesterday. Venus arrived in Cancer, too. As the planet of love and money, Venus loves the nostalgia of the past, the comfort of the familiar. Home and family are of high value as well. It needs emotional connection.
The Sun arrives in Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, just after Mercury and Venus. It’s a vibe shift. With Cancer not the focus, so is home and family, roots and foundation. It’s a season to make time for what really matters, but to look to the past, too.
We’re wrapping up Gemini Season this week, a season that has had us on the move. But now that Mercury is in Cancer, our focus turns to home and family. Conversations are nostalgic. We speak from the heart. We’re more sensitive than usual.
As we finish our week and go into the weekend, the Moon trades a task-oriented, serious Virgo for a social and playful Libra, lifting some of the heaviness that has been with us. Use the weekend to be in the beauty of life, to make art, and be creative.
The Moon’s in Virgo today, a Moon that’s setting rules and boundaries, putting our focus on home and family, pushing us to clean up and get organized. It’s also the first-quarter moon. Our recent Gemini New Moon comes into sharp focus.
First the Sun and Venus in Gemini. Now Mercury reaches its checkpoint with Saturn in Pisces. It’s a day if not a week of choices, the kind that may seem inconsequential or serious, but choices that have the potential to shape our future. We have to be accountable.
Change is a part of life and today’s Mars square Pluto creates an alchemy of transformation, an energy that reshapes and remakes us. In order to move forward, we need to take a deep look at ourselves.
We’re coming off the weekend with strong Saturn aspects, a planet that makes us feel the duties and responsibilities of life. As a result, we may have reached a checkpoint. Decisions need to be made.
If Mars is motivation and action, then it’s time in Taurus teaches us to slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Taurus is the first earth sign and helps us understand what we need not only to survive but thrive.
Fresh off a Gemini New Moon, we’re ready to move. Gemini inspires us to explore the world around us, to ask questions, to walk around, or to even take trips. A Saturn square, however, demands serious decisions.
Welcome to the Gemini New Moon. It’s the time in the lunar calendar when we focus our attention to writing and speaking, information and ideas. Gemini is the sign of discovery. It motivates us to learn.
We reach the dark of the moon in advance of tomorrow’s Gemini New Moon. Time to reflect and rest. While the Gemini Moon can be chatty, it’s a day to listen to our hearts and our intuition instead of our minds.
