Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Tomorrow, Saturn and Neptune will make an exact square, the second of three contacts. If Saturn is matter, the physical world, structure, and achievement, then Neptune is spirit, the non-physical world, mysticism. We are battling divine needs vs. our own.
We’ve been in the run up to today’s square between the Sun and Chiron, an aspects that digs into our deepest pain and suffering. As a result our feelings need our attention today. We heal our emotional knots because they are limiting us from living the life we want.
We’re wrapping up a Libra Moon day, which will turn our attention to relationships, connection, grace, charm, and beauty. It’s a breezy placement for the Moon, especially with the Sun and Venus in Gemini. The element air is about movement, connection.
There are days throughout the year that a planet appears to move backward and forward in orbit, not unlike the gears on the cosmic clock shifting into a new hour.
Here are a couple of things to note as we start the week. Mercury is finally in Gemini after almost twelve weeks in Taurus. The other big thing to keep in mind is that Neptune turns retrograde today. Are you feeling overly sensitive? More emotional than usual?
We’re coming off of yesterday’s argumentative face off between Mercury and Mars. Tensions may still be a touch high today, especially now that the Moon is in Virgo. We may feel overly critical, nitpicky, restless, quick to find fault in the details.
Mercury and Mars clash today. We may feel a little restless or have a need to get something off our chest. Although this placement has a history of arguments and accidents. Mercury is still in Taurus. A lot of the potential conversation today may be around value.
Just a friendly reminder that Mars is still retrograde. I’ve heard from a few of you and you’ve mentioned that things are a little sluggish or unresolved. Keep in mind that Mars is fire. It’s action, command. Any planet in retrograde doesn’t have the same energy.
Heads up. Neptune, the planet of mysticism and altered states of consciousness, will turn retrograde on June 14 — less than a week away. Neptune is a planet that speaks to the collective emotional experience; we feel everyone and everything.
One of the major features of Saturday’s new moon was a line up between the Sun and Venus. Although not exact at the time, the two planets merge today in a sweet pairing that only occurs once a year. Here’s what you need to know.
This new moon is one of the more significant lunations of this year, which tells us that June will be a major month for many people with a stark dose of reality.
We’re in the midst of something called a “mutable cross,” the planets bunched up in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The mutable signs fall right before the start of a new season; they are inherently about transition, movement.
