Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Fresh off the Virgo New Moon, we’re back at work ready to start new projects. But a watery dose of Neptune means that things are feeling a little sluggish, maybe even a little surreal. With the line between worlds blurred, use today to meditative or spiritual pursuits.
Happy Virgo New Moon! This is the time of the year when we turn our attention to work, projects, and the daily grind. As the sign of purity, Virgo also connects us to themes health, diet, nutrition.
The Sun opposes Neptune and we’re caught in an emotional riptide. We may feel unmoored or underwater. While it’s good to use the Virgo Sun to practically handle these feelings, today is a reminder to find the balance between heaven and earth.
With Mercury joining the Sun in Virgo plus Saturn turning direct in Capricorn, it’s all about element earth right now. And what is earth? The ground beneath our feel. It’s real life and the responsibilities that come with it. It’s money, resources, food, and the body.
Mercury moves out of Leo, a sign that it’s been in since late June, and we’re ready to get to work. This after a couple of months of everything and nothing happening all at once. Hopefully we’ve planned, we’ve reevaluated. Time to move forward.
The Moon’s in Cancer and we’re feeling an urge to nest and spend time with family and close loved ones. A Cancer Moon is a sensitive Moon driven by feeling and instinct as well as a need to bond. Make connection today, cook, or tend to the home.
Welcome to September! We turn our attention to real life, from the food we eat to stay healthy to the tasks that ensure our daily lives run efficiently. Virgo is the nurse, the teacher, the servant, the cleaner. Without Virgo’s careful eye, everything would fall apart.
From Aries to Taurus, fire to earth, the Moon changes signs and takes us into the weekend with an emphasis on taking it slow and easy. A Taurus Moon loves to graze and take pleasure in the physical world. With Venus in Libra, we’re feeling social, too.
Moon rounds out its time in Aries, so don’t miss this chance to be productive today. Come tomorrow we’ll be shifting into Taurus, a vibe that’s more about relaxing, taking it slow, and enjoying life. Note, tempers may flare as the Moon runs up against combative Mars.
The Aries Moon continues to give us a little pick-me-up after a lazy Pisces Full Moon. Paired with a Virgo Sun and a Mars in Capricorn, this is a day to get your ducks in a row, so to speak. August is almost over. What’s your plan for September?
After a slow start to the week, the Moon moves into Aries and we’re feeling a push to get moving. Aries is action, drive, motivation. Plus, the Aries Moon picks up on Mars Direct in Capricorn. This is a day to strategize and take the next steps.
Mars turns direct in Capricorn after two months in retrograde. While we may feel motivated to move forward with plans and ambitions, we’re still under a Pisces Full Moon and a Pisces is way more interested in relaxing than charging ahead.
