Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the page turns to the daily duties and practicalities of life. Virgo is systems, particularly the systems that make our lives run. It’s health and wellness, purity and devotion, order and structure.
Big news as both Pluto and Uranus make moves. On September 1 Uranus turns retrograde followed by Pluto’s reentry into Capricorn. As evolutionary planets, Pluto and Uranus speak of transformation and awakening, shifting our consciousness.
Venus arrives home to Libra, a sign where Venus teaches us the necessity of diplomacy and connection. With the South Node in Libra and a solar eclipse only a month away, Venus in Libra also heralds a change on the horizon, especially in a relationship.
Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces, a dreamy and alluring influence for the planet of love and relationships. Neptune makes for magnetic beauty, but it can also have us questioning if something is real or an illusion. Make space for unconditional love.
Another Gemini Moon day. Another day for conversations, connections, and curiosity. As we reach the last-quarter moon, we’re wrapping up a lunar month that began on August 4. What has worked? What are our choices going forward? What are our duties?
Pluto returns to Capricorn for its two-month-long finale, closing out of a chapter that began in 2008. Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus, a demand for new consciousness and realities. Mercury also turns direct and shifts gears for Virgo Season.
A curious and restless Gemini Moon starts off our week, activating Mars and Jupiter, also in Gemini. With the energies of the Virgo Sun, we’ve got things to do, responsibilities to manage, and duties to perform. There’s a push to get organized.
Virgo Season picks up on Mercury Retrograde, which means that there’s a need to review, restructure, and reorganize as we go into the weekend. With a Moon in Aries, we have responsibilities to step into and new initiatives to set in motion.
The Sun leaves Leo for Virgo today and we arrive at a new season, a flip of the page on the astrological calendar that takes us into the sixth sign of the zodiac. In Virgo, we discover the practicalities of daily life. We find craft, detail, and service to others.
The Moon wraps up its time in Pisces today, continuing to activate the energies of Jupiter and Saturn, both in a square to one another. Squares are the energy of manifestation. Something is taking shape and form in our lives, not unlike turning a corner.
Coming off yesterday’s Aquarius Full Moon, there’s a lot to unpack in the sky, namely a square between Jupiter and Saturn, two giants in the sky that build our world around us. We’re weighing big choices. We’re navigating ethics, faith, and commitment.
Welcome to the Aquarius Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on friendship and community, systems and networks, big ideas and a vision for the future. As one of the last signs of the zodiac, Aquarius brings us to the level of the collective.
