Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Cancer New Moon! This is the time of the year when we turn our attention to some of the more primal human experiences — care, emotional security, feelings, family, memories.
What is home? Family? Do we feel safe enough to root and flourish? With the Sun in Cancer, the light shines upon some of the most fundamental experiences of life — care, emotional sustenance, and the mother. As a result, July will touch on life’s more sensitive subjects.
So, Mars turned direct yesterday. Hooray! But there are still a few finer points to make, especially as the energy releases over the next few days like a dam. Careful to avoid arguments and other heated encounters. Instead, use Mars positively through physical exercise.
After ten weeks retrograde, Mars finally turns direct today. Phew! We’ve had to do some serious work on where we’re wrong, where our stubborn faith and nearsightedness have taken us of course. Hopefully we learned something.
Things are heating up today courtesy of an Aries Moon + Mars in Scorpio! Combine this with Mars at a near standstill, preparing to turn direct tomorrow, and you’ve got a recipe for a lot of messy emotions spilling out.
A few years back I had a bad accident just a day or so shy of Chiron turning retrograde. It was one of those moments as an astrologer that I got a deeper understanding of Chiron, a more recent discovery and addition to the astrological lexicon.
We’re in the build up to next week’s station of Mars. It will turn direct at 23 Scorpio on June 29. We’re feeling the ripples and waves of the energy in the collective. Mars rules Volcanos, so, as a result, we may feel like we’re ready to blow.
Aquarius Moon day creating a bit of a push/pull between needing the comfort of something close like home and wanting to explore the world through ideas, intellect. Aquarius is a very detached sign and about as far away as you can get from the Sun in Cancer.
This week Mercury has been passing through the combined forces of Jupiter, Neptune, and Saturn, activating a major story that has been unfolding this year. If Mercury in Gemini places a finger on the pulse of our choices, then what do we put our faith in?
Happy birthday Cancer! Happy Solstice! If you’re in the northern hemisphere like me, Cancer ushers in the start of summer. The trees and flowers are full with promise, the days are long and warm, and we enjoy the bounty of the natural world.
The Sagittarius Full Moon comes in at 29 degrees, the last degree of the sign. If we’ve been on a search for truth, the full moon will really brings matters to a critical point — we’re seeing the karma of our choices.
Today our gal Venus says goodbye to Gemini, a sign that she’s known to have a bit of fun in, and checks into Cancer for a four week stay. Cancer is the sign of home, family, roots, emotions, and the mother. It’s the first water sign and in it we discover our primal emotions.
