Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
I’ve been invited to be a guest speaker at The Assemblage Nomad here in Manhattan on Sunday, May 6 for an intimate, salon-like talk on astrology and energetics.
Happy Scorpio Full Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on power, intimacy, sexuality, taboo. As you can imagine, Scorpio isn’t an easy sign. It takes us through life’s more challenging emotions and experiences. It teaches us about rebirth.
Between the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Libra, we start the weekend off on a Venusian vibe. Think relationships, socialization, charm, and even beauty. Venus as well as the Moon need connection. It’s a good day to make plans or check in with a friend.
As the Moon wraps up its time in Virgo, it’s a perfect day to tend to health as well as our overall wellbeing. It’s also quite possible that this week’s punch of Mars, Pluto, and Saturn has shaken a few things loose. Use today to tidy up.
The Moon’s in Virgo, a day to get organized and tend to the rhythm of our daily lives. We’re also feeling some pressure from Saturn as well, a planet that amps up Virgo’s need for perfection. It’s time for duty, tough choices, and practical action.
Venus arrives in Gemini and we’re in love in curiosity for the next four weeks. We value language, ideas, socializing, schmoozing, and travel. Here Venus finds its charm as well as a breezy, playful style. Taurus Season just got flirter.
We start off the week with a Leo Moon, a sign that inspires us to be ourselves and express our talents as well as our creativity. With the North Node also in Leo, it’s an imperative. We need to be in the truth of who we are.
Welcome to Taurus Season, the time in the zodiac calendar when we turn our attention to the earth beneath our feet. Taurus helps us get grounded into our physical lives, from accumulating the resources we need to live comfortably to money, food, and pleasure.
Last day of Aries Season, a time of starting over and moving forward. That said, this Aries Season has been a little complicated. We’ve had to rewind instead of take action. Tomorrow we arrive in Taurus and connect to the pleasure of element earth.
We may be wrapping up Aries season, but the its fire will sustain us beyond. After all, we’re in a lunar month that began just days ago with a powerful alignment to Uranus. Be prepared for ups and downs, breakthroughs, and a restless need to make a change.
Another day, another cosmic shift. Chiron and Saturn are in the spotlight as Chiron arrives in Aries and Saturn turns retrograde in Capricorn. While Chiron touches on more abstract themes, it’s Saturn’s turn that feels tangible, real.
We start the week fresh off an Aries New Moon, one that’s ushering in a lunar month filled with twists, turns, and radical new beginnings. Then tomorrow, April 17, Saturn turns retrograde, underlining our Saturn in Capricorn journey towards greater maturity.
