Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Our busy week of planets changing signs and directions continues. With Mars now in Libra, we’re motivated to focus on relationships and connection even more. Normally used to taking the lead and getting its way, Mars now has to learn how to compromise.
Pluto turns direct at 20 Capricorn, creating a seismic shift in themes of power and control, the psyche and healing. Pluto direct can reveal something that has been previously hidden. It can also make us more aware of our shadows and deepest emotions.
The Moon arrives in Sagittarius and the vibe lightens. We’re feeling a little restless, like we want to travel and roam. Sagittarius is the seeker of the zodiac. It’s always on a quest for more knowledge and experiences. It’s a good day for learning and exploration.
It’s October! Although it’s Libra Season, a time when we focus on relationships and connection, we’re getting an early dose of Scorpio in the form of Venus square Pluto today. We’re looking at the darker side of love and its themes of power and control.
Welcome to October, a month that straddles the divide between Libra and Scorpio, between affability and charm and having to take the public facade off. That said, Libra teaches us about relationships, from connection to negotiation, compromise, and peace.
We start the week off with a Scorpio Moon, one that’s picking up on some of the deeper themes we’re working on this week — intimacy, power, vulnerability. Scorpio gives us the bravery to dig into what’s uncomfortable so we can grow.
Happy Libra New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to relationships. Libra is a sign of socialization and it teaches us to reach to others, connect, form partnership, and learn to negotiate the needs of others. Libra needs balance, fairness, and harmony.
It’s a day to tidy up and tie up loose ends as the Moon rounds its way through Virgo. Although we’ve left Virgo Season behind, we’re in the last day of lunar month, one that began with a Virgo New Moon. It’s also a day to focus on work and other initiatives.
With the Moon in Virgo, we’re officially in the dark of the moon, winding down a lunar month that began with the Virgo New Moon on August 30. What have we learned? What projects did we initiate? Are we more organized? It’s a time to reflect and rest.
Venus squares Saturn today and we’re taking a serious look at all our relationships. Where is there room for improvement? Do we need to open up more to others? Set healthy boundaries? Create more equity? If something is not working, it needs to be fixed.
The Moon’s in Leo and we’re starting to wind down the lunar month, one that began at the end of August. It’s a day to look ahead and think about our goals and wishes for October. It’s also a day for creativity, connection, friends, and community.
Welcome to Libra Season! Over the next four weeks, while the Sun is in Libra, we’re focusing on the many relationships of our lives. Libra is a social sign; it needs partnership. And, so, we’re reaching out and working on strengthening our connections.
