Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Edgy astrology alert. As the Sun rounds out its time in Virgo, it will form a square to Mars today. Although the energies of the Sun and Mars are perfect for leadership, action, and healthy initiatives, things may be a little wonky. Mercury is retrograde after all.
Overshadowed by Jupiter’s arrival in Libra was the last of three squares between Saturn and Neptune, two planets that couldn’t be more different. If Saturn is the physical world and our mastery over it, then Neptune is its slow erosion.
After spending the last year pushing us to work hard and grow through service — not to mention getting healthy and organized —Jupiter trades Virgo for Libra. If Jupiter is faith and wisdom gained through life’s experiences, then Libra will bring a leap to connect.
As Jupiter comes to its final hours in Virgo, we’re feeling the crunch — especially with the Moon in Sagittarius today. What do your need to clean out? What is your limit? Your boundary? What are you saying no to? Is it too late to start juicing?
As I mentioned in my September horoscopes, there’s a lot going on this month. Between the eclipses, Jupiter switching signs, and a few major alignments, September is a time to make a major decision, go in a new direction, or take the next step up in life.
Last week, on September 1, we had a potent solar eclipse in Virgo. As some of you know — or may have experienced yourself — eclipses tend to coincide with major events. Something may have even been “eclipsed” in your life.
Not only is September Virgo season, a time when we’re inspired to get organized, get healthy, and tend to the practical details of everyday life, but this September is chock filled with major celestial events. Let’s take a look.
What can we expect from a Virgo solar eclipse? New beginnings in health, how we take care of our body, our diet. We may need to purify our life, bring in new rituals, get sober, and get real.
We’re in the gate for tomorrow’s solar eclipse at 9 Virgo. Not only are we starting a new lunar month, one steeped in themes of order, service, purity, and pragmatic details, but we’re opening a bigger chapter that will hinge on the Virgo archetype.
Mercury stationed retrograde today. You know the drill. Just be chill, go with the flow, and integrate. Mercury Retrograde is a time when we’re looking back instead of moving forward. We don’t have all the details. Double check everything. It’s going to be fine.
Venus arrives in Libra today, a sign that marks a homecoming. And Libra is a sign that helps us to understand others. As a result, Venus will help us connect to the energies partnership and balance as well as beauty, grace, and charm.
Yesterday we talked about Neptune and its supporting role not only in the astrology of this year — Saturn and Neptune have been in a long dance with each other — but how Neptune has been playing off of Mars as well. As a result, we’re diving deep into an existential crisis.
