Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Gemini New Moon! This is the time in the astrological calendar when turn our attention to all things Gemini, creating new beginnings in communication, language, ideas, education, and travel. As the sign of the twins, Gemini teaches us about duality and the polarity of choice.
We’re in the dark of the lunar month, the days before the new moon when the energy is quiet and we prepare to start again. Something, however, is brewing. The energy is anything but quiet. Tension is rising.
Happy Gemini Season! We’ll be spending the next four weeks in the sign of the twins. And if you know a Gemini, you’ll know that they are curious, chatty, and restless. For the rest of us, it’s time to turn our attention to communication and learning.
We start the weekend with a dreamy Pisces Moon, picking up on the energies of Venus and Jupiter. While perfect for art, photography, and cinema, it’s a bit decadent when it comes to food, alcohol, and pleasure. Try not to go overboard.
The Sun, nearing the end of its time in Taurus, gifts us with a craving for indulgence today. With Venus and Jupiter in alignment, our appetite or even our sweet tooth may be hard to ignore. Venus and Jupiter love pleasure and lots of it.
We’re in the waning days of Taurus Season, a time in the zodiac calendar when we experience the sensuality and pleasure of the physical world. It’s also a time to shore up our resources, from income to the things we need to create a stable, grounded life.
Mercury arrives in Taurus and we’re starting to pull out of the Mercury Retrograde shadow! We’re still in review, looking at events and choices from early April. Do we still value the same things we did a month or so ago? Given the chance, would we choose differently?
Mercury reaches the final degree of Aries today, wrapping up a story that began in late March. While Mercury in Aries can be impulsive and brash, today the choices are stark. Is it a left or a right? Regardless a new beginning awaits.
We sail into the weekend with a Sagittarius Moon, inspiring us to look abroad and seek exotic shores. As a sign in search of wisdom and experience, Sagittarius will go to the ends of the earth for to find it. If not through travel, then certainly through education.
Coming off the energies of yesterday’s Scorpio Full Moon, we may feel shaken, confronted by intense emotions or circumstances. As the Moon moves into Sagittarius today, time for some soul searching. What do we still believe in? Is our faith intact?
This is the time of the year when we shine a light on all the things that make us uncomfortable — intimacy, sexuality, trust, power, money, and vulnerability. Although not an easy sign, Scorpio is a necessary sign, teaching us about the transient qualities of life.
Today is power day. Use it wisely! With the Sun in Taurus picking up support from Pluto in Capricorn, it’s about money, stability, and securing our material needs. But the sky is a little unstable at the moment. Don’t be surprised if the day throws you the unexpected.
