Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re in the last day of Sagittarius. We’re also the last day before a switch in the season — winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern. As a result, we may have a sense that something is about to change.
It’s official. Mercury is now retrograde. Switching gears in Capricorn, the sign of manifestation and mastery, we’re going to spend the next three weeks looking at our choices and how they manifest in our lives. And there’s likely an old story around it.
We’re in the gate for the next Mercury Retrograde. Perhaps you’re already feeling it, especially as Mercury dances around Pluto in Capricorn, this sense that something has to end. But before it does, we have to review and take consciousness of why.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this full moon we just had. Falling in the sign of Gemini, a sign that can sometimes come across as superficial, I felt like there was something deeper at play. How could there not be with multiple planets weaving through the lunar tapestry.
Hard to believe that we’re wrapping up 2016, a year that we’ll never forget. And yesterday’s Gemini Full Moon was the last full moon of 2016. In keeping with the sign of Gemini, the full moon presented a lot of options. But we can only choose one path.
Happy Gemini Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight turns to communication — writing, speaking, sharing ideas — movement, and travel. Gemini is a curious sign, too. It needs experiences, options, and one in every color.
What did you commit to? Where did you feel the weight of time? Wake up to a sobering realization? See your limits? With the Sun pulling away from its conjunction to Saturn in Sagittarius, we’re still feeling Saturn’s call for maturity and responsibility.
Ready for tomorrow’s alignment between the Sun and Saturn? While not the most glamorous of planets, Saturn has the role of holding you accountable in life. And, as a result, we’ve been digging into themes on maturity, commitment, responsibility, and getting older.
When Venus arrived in Aquarius yesterday, she joined Mars, who has been hanging out in the sign since November 9. The Sun may be in Sagittarius, a fire sign, but we’ve been receiving a lot of air lately — connection, relationship, movement, ideas, sharing.
Trading tradition and responsibility for the avant garde, Venus arrives in Aquarius for a four week stay. And if Venus is the planet of relationship, beauty, and value, then in Aquarius it’s funky, progressive, and wonderfully weird.
As much as this month is about Saturn and its push to get us to take the next big step in our life, it’s also about Uranus. And while Saturn would rather us cautiously preserve the status quo, Uranus is about breaking it apart.
We’re coming up on a crossroad this week. With the Sun approaching Saturn this Saturday, December 10, we’re feeling time, we’re feeling responsibility, and we’re feeling a need to make a decision — one that touches on faith, truth, and meaning.
