Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We all have that one thing that triggers us, hitting a deep nerve. Maybe it’s someone questioning our value or not hearing us. Chiron, a newer addition to astrology, is a powerful yet subtle influence in the chart, revealing our pain points so that we can heal them.
We’ve got a lot of things going on this week! Saturn turns direct, marking the last stage in a story that began in 2018. Mars squares Saturn on an Aries Full Moon and we’re at a crossroads, making serious decisions and having the courage to move forward.
Big week ahead. Not only are we on the cusp of Saturn Direct, marking the last stage of its journey in Capricorn, but Mars squares Saturn ahead of an Aries Full Moon. We’re at a turning point. We’re weighing major choices. We’re navigating Capital L Life.
The Moon rounds out its time in Capricorn today and we’ve got work to do and responsibilities to tend to, especially around the home. We’re thinking about our futures, too. This caps off a week of intensities as Mercury rounded its way out of Libra.
Mercury opposes Mars, an aspect that can make for dynamic connection, conversation, and decisions. But it can be also confrontational and argumentative, especially in a relationship. With the Sun in Libra, how can we find consensus? Harmony?
Mercury, as it rounds its way out of Libra, makes a square to Saturn. We have to chose our words wisely. We’re weighing serious options. Is it a yes or a no? Saturn can reveal a need for boundaries, discernment, or more maturity.
The Sun arrives in Libra and we not only kick off a new astrological season, but it’s the equinox, too. With equal parts day and night, we’re at the balance between light and dark. Now each passing day tips us more and more into the shadows.
We say goodbye to Virgo Season as the Sun arrives in Libra on September 22, the sign that teaches us about partnership and connection. Plus, Mercury makes tense aspects to Pluto, Saturn, and Mars, creating dynamic if not confrontational situations.
The Sun reaches the last degree of Virgo. There’s an intensity in the air as Mercury, the ruling planet of Virgo, squares with Pluto. We need to get laser focused. We’re uncovering a mystery, especially with the Moon in Scorpio. We have to make serious choices.
Coming off the Virgo New Moon, we’re still in its energies of renewal and refocus, especially on all matters of health and wellness, work and craft. But the Moon’s now in Libra, highlighting relationships and connection as we go into the weekend.
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when turn our focus towards health and wellness, from how we take care of our bodies to the foods we eat, the work we do, and the rituals we practice. Virgo helps us to discern and to organize, too.
The Sun squares the Lunar Nodes. We’re at a crossroads as we reach the midpoints between eclipses. Life turns a corner, perhaps in subtle ways, but we’re making decisions and aligning ourselves with events that will play out into November and December 2020.
