Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Sun and Jupiter harmonize. It’s a day to be open to adventure, travel, and the call of something greater than ourselves. For that Jupiter touches on themes of faith, wisdom, and belief. Jupiter helps us to see the world so we can understand ourselves better.
The Moon moves into Scorpio and it’s all about intimacy and trust over the next couple of days. Scorpio is a sign that likes to get to the psychological heart of things, even if it means being uncomfortable. With Mars in Leo, we may be feeling a little touchy, too.
We start the week off with a Libra Moon, one that prioritizes relationships and connections. With the Libra Moon touching on recent eclipse degrees, pay attention to what’s going on today. as we navigate events that may feel fated or powerful in some way.
The Virgo Moon takes us into the weekend, a Moon that’s all about practical details. Actually, we could use Virgo’s earthy energy after the July 31 Leo New Moon and all its fire and creative vision. If you’re feeling inspired, use today to hammer out a plan.
I was recently a guest on Megyn Blanchard’s Wholehuman podcast to discuss the birth chart and how it’s a tool for personal development and healing.
Welcome to August! We not only kick things off with a fiery, confident Leo New Moon, but Mercury is now direct. It was a bit of a wobbly end to July, wasn’t it? Now that we’re firmly entrenched in Leo Season, we can work on getting our groove back.
Welcome to Leo Season! This is the time in the zodiac calendar when we shine like the Sun. It’s the season to focus on our talents, our creativity, and our passions. After a rocky eclipse season, we could use Leo’s shot of confidence and courage.
Happy Leo New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to joy, passion, and the power of being ourselves. Leo, ruled by the Sun, is a sign that teaches us all to shine.
The Moon rounds out its time in Cancer and we’re in the dark of the moon. It’s a time to reflect and get quiet. Since we’re wrapping up a lunar month with two eclipses, take a moment to reflect on the doors that have closed … and opened in July.
The Sun comes up to a square to Uranus in Taurus today, an aspect that’s been known to be restless, electric, and even impulsive. We can’t hold back anymore. We can’t make ourselves small any longer. We need to open up to a higher version of ourselves.
We’re rounding out the day with a Taurus Moon and, just like yesterday, we’re more into a leisurely, relaxed pace than needing to rush. That said, the Moon’s in Gemini this weekend, a Moon that wants to go places and do things. Make plans!
Today’s Taurus Moon picks up on Venus in Cancer and it’s all about creature comforts and the familiarity of home. It’s possible that we’re not moving very fast today, instead preferring to graze, taste. After all, Taurus and Cancer are also two signs that love food!
