Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We start the week fresh off a Cancer New Moon, one that puts added emphasis on home and family as well as the past and memories into the rest of the month. We’re in the spirit of beginnings. We’re also at a crossroads as we check in with eclipse energy.
Welcome to the Cancer New Moon, the time in the lunar month when our attention turns to home and family, roots and foundation, the past and memories. Cancer symbolically represents the base of the zodiac, which is to say it holds up both our lives and the sky.
We’ve reached the dark of the moon, the time when the lunar light is at its most faint. It’s typically a time to rest, to pull back from the world as we prepare for tomorrow’s new moon. Our dreams may be vivid, our intuition may be stronger.
The Cancer Sun squares the Lunar Nodes, a crossing that marks the midpoint of the eclipses, a period three months after and three months before an eclipse that acts as a portal. Time bends. People come in and out of our lives. It’s a preview of October.
Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces, saturating the collective with its energies. Neptune dissolves the boundaries between this world and the next. It heightens our dreams and intuition. It can also make us more emotional, spacey, or ungrounded than usual.
It’s a Cancer New Moon, which kicks off a new lunar month as well as a check-in with the March-April eclipses. Neptune also turns retrograde at the end of Pisces, adding to sensitivities and emotions. Plus, Mercury arrives in Leo, a preview of Leo Season.
As we start the week, we’re coming to the end of the lunar month, a time when we have our sights on the future. What are our hopes and dreams for the weeks and months to come? It’s also a day to reach out to friends and community.
Saturn turns retrograde in Pisces, a chapter heading to a story that began in March 2023. The elements of something larger are beginning to come together. It’s a weekend to make commitments, set goals, mark an ending, or step into greater responsibilities.
The Moon’s in Pisces today, an emotional boost to an already sensitive Cancer Season. We’re feeling wistful and nostalgic. We’re reflecting on matters of faith and truth, searching for answers. We’re planning a voyage, even if the voyage is within.
Venus in Cancer makes a square to the Lunar Nodes, a turning point for relationships as well as a ripple of eclipse energy. It’s a reminder that we’re not so far away from a solar eclipse in April as well as a solar eclipse to come in early October.
Another Aquarius Moon day, another day to build emotional ties to community and groups. We’re also looking towards the future, hoping and dreaming for something better. We may feel a pull of emotions as we also navigate themes around trust.
Saturn turns retrograde and it’s a week of personal milestones, achievements, and restructuring. As one of the main drivers of time in astrology, Saturn helps life to take shape and form. We’re building a story that began in 2023, when Saturn first entered Pisces.
