Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars in Cancer building emotional steam this week as it bounces off Jupiter and Pluto. In fact, we’re fresh off a Cancer New Moon. It’s all about how you’re feeding yourself on all levels. This week you may be drawing a line on what nourishing you and what’s not.
Happy Cancer New Moon! This is the time when we turn our attention to the things that give support — home, family, roots, and emotional connection. New moons are new beginnings and this one will be inviting us to find emotional connection.
We’re in the dark of the moon, the last day of the lunar month when the light wanes and we’re pulled toward quiet reflection. A lot has happened since the Gemini New Moon on May 25. We made major decisions. Tomorrow we begin again with the Cancer New Moon.
Welcome to Cancer Season! The Sun’s arrival in a new sign also initiates the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and winter solstice in the southern. As the first water sign, the element that connects us to our emotions, Cancer is feeling at its most primal.

Last day of Gemini Season. What important choices have we made over the last four weeks? We’re in a reflective mood as we prepare for the Sun’s arrival in Cancer and the Solstice. Tomorrow we open up to themes of home, connection, and memory.
What’s a thorny subject for you? A reoccurring pain? A knot around a particular aspect of your life? The Sun squares Chiron today and we may be feeling — and seeing — a deeper issue at hand. Make sure you work on your healing and engage in self care.
One of the undercurrents to this week’s tough face off between the Sun and Saturn has been the influence of Neptune. Turning retrograde today, it’s infused the past few days with a deep sensitivity and heavy emotion. We feel everything and everyone with Neptune.
As the Sun and Saturn complete their opposition today, we may be feeling the weight of time as well as the responsibilities of life. Saturn helps us to grow older, but it also pushes back when we’ve overstepped the mark or struggled to follow through.
The Moon is in Aquarius, triggering a tense face off between the Sun and Saturn. Life may feel very serious at the moment, making demands for commitment and responsibility. Our faith and ideology may be tested as well. Try to be impartial and see the big picture.
Mercury squares Neptune today and we may be getting our wires crossed. Since we’re in Gemini Season — aka Mercury Season — this is having a direct impact on communication. Make sure you’re getting the right information. Better yet, meditate and daydream.
We’re a couple of days past the Sagittarius Full Moon. With its strong aspects to Saturn and Neptune, we may be feeling emotionally heavy. Saturn is the weight of time and responsibility. Neptune, however, is the sacrifice that life sometimes demands from us.
