Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Moon trades Sagittarius for Capricorn, fire for earth. It’s a day to focus on the practical as well as sorting through our to-do list. It’s also a reminder that we officially have four weeks until Saturn leaves Capricorn. The bar is still set high for us.
Although we’re fresh in the energies of a Scorpio New Moon this week, we’ve only got a few more days left on Scorpio Season. In fact, when the Sun arrives Sagittarius on November 21, we’re leaving the dark of Scorpio for the light of Sagittarius.
Fresh off a Scorpio New Moon, we step into a week that puts a focus on intimacy, power, and rebirth. Scorpio energy pushes buttons, applying necessary emotional pressure so that we grow, transform. With Mars now direct, we’re also ready to move forward.
Welcome to the Scorpio New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when turn towards life, death, and the alchemy of transformation. Scorpio is a water sign, a sign that speaks to emotional intimacy as well as the darker parts our psyche.
Mars turns direct in Aries after a two month retrograde, giving us the drive and motivation to move forward. But this may feel like a dam break of energy, releasing pent up anger and aggression. Give this hot headed, restless energy a positive outlet.
Jupiter joins Pluto in Capricorn, a planet that has demanded a profound level of transformation this year, for its final match-up. Alongside Saturn, these three planets have reshaped our world, our faith, our sense of order. We must transform yet again.
The Moon leaves Virgo for Libra and we arrive in the dark of the moon. It’s the last few days of the lunar month, a time to pull inward, reflect, intuit, and prepare for a new chapter. What have you learned about relationship, connection since the October 16 new moon?
Mercury changes signs, moving from the air of Libra to the water of Scorpio. Mercury finds power and drive in Scorpio, a Mars ruled sign. It can be obsessive in its search for ideas, information, and even secrets. It can also be blunt truths that cut through illusions.
This week Mercury returns to Scorpio, a sharp lens for the planet of communication and ideas. We’re also wrapping up the lunar month and preparing for a Scorpio New Moon on November 15, just after Mars finally turns direct in Aries.
We start the week with a practical Virgo Moon, one that wants to get things checked off the to-do list. With Mercury still in contact with Saturn, there’s more pressure to set limits and boundaries, put things into order, and create more fairness and equity.
Mercury makes the last of its squares to Saturn. We have serious decisions to make. We have to chose our words wisely. We have to put things back into order and balance. A Cancer Moon also makes things tense as we round out the week.
Moon in Cancer day, one that picks up on the watery energy of Scorpio Season. Emotions run high. We’re feeling sensitive, nostalgic, and crave comfort and familiarity. We may also feel impassioned about matters of faith, conviction, and integrity.
