Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
One of the things I talked about in my December horoscopes is this intense energy we’ve been surfing courtesy of a of Jupiter, Pluto, and Uranus mashup. To put it simply, we’re being pushed to take a major evolutionary step. These planets demand nothing less.
Welcome to December. With all the big deal astrology in the works for this month, the cosmos is surely making sure we end 2016 off with a bang. Between Saturn in Sagittarius to a tense Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus t-square, we’ve got our personal work cut out for us.
Where are we? How did we get here? As we close out 2016, a year that feels like a crossroads, we may be feeling disoriented. Up is down, left is right. Thankfully, if there’s a zodiac sign to help us find ourselves it’s Sagittarius.
One of the quieter undercurrents to yesterday’s new moon was Chiron in Pisces. Why? Because the planet of emotional, psychic, spiritual knots will turn direct tomorrow, infusing this lunar month with deep existential feelings as well as a call for healing.
Happy Sagittarius New Moon! This is the time in the astrological calendar when we turn our attentions to faith, truth, and meaning. Sagittarius is foreign travel, other cultures, philosophy, religion, higher education.
We’re in the dark of the moon, the time just before the start of a new lunar month. The energy is quiet, introspective. And with the Moon in Scorpio, our psychic senses are heightened and the veil feels thin.
Yesterday was the Thanksgiving holiday in the US, a time when I am reminded that I am not only thankful that I get to do what I love, but that so many of you around then world connect with it. I am blessed.
In Scorpio we meet The Passage, a time when we confront the karma of our choices, which were weighed in Libra. Like the heart balancing on the scales in ancient Egyptian mythology, we discover which side our actions have served.
When we arrive in Sagittarius, we’ve balanced our heart against the scales and now we await judgement. It is in Sagittarius that our karma is written based upon our choices in the cycle, which we live out in Capricorn, the following sign.
I’ve been thinking a lot about integrity and the power of words lately — no surprise considering that Mercury lines up with Saturn in Sagittarius today. When the world shakes us, all we have is our word, all we have is our rectitude.
Happy birthday, Sagittarius! You’re the sign that teaches us about exploration, other cultures, other ways of thinking, other religions and philosophies, all in the quest for better understanding ourselves and the world.
We’re in the last hours of Scorpio Season, a time that takes us through the underworld and face our fears — fears of death, fears of losing control, fears of intimacy — so that we may transform. It’s a gut wrenching but a necessary path through the zodiac cycle.
