Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Yesterday’s Pisces overload gives way to today’s powerful Aries Moon. With Mars over in Scorpio, there’s a strong current running through the air. Think action, investigation, discovery, intimacy, and hard truths. This will build into Saturday when the Moon makes contact with Uranus and Pluto. Use this energy to spark […]
Dreamy Pisces Moon day. Everything’s a little hazy, a little soft focused. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, the sign that brings us to the end of your worldly journey and dissolves us back toward Source. The Moon spends about two or so days in each sign and […]
Feeling a little indulgent? Venus and Jupiter will harmonize into tomorrow, two planets known for their outsized appreciation of beauty and pleasure when combined. That said, Venus is in Capricorn and Jupiter is in Virgo so the influence is a little more practical minded. Venus will have us reaching toward […]
Happy Aquarius New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to themes of humanity, connection, equality, and our hopes for a better future. The new moon will be exact on February 8, 2016 at 9:39 am EST, 19 degrees Aquarius. For those further […]
I’ve been thinking a lot about Venus this week as she comes up to her annual merge with Pluto on Saturday. In the eyes of astrology, Venus is the key to understanding the archetypical energy of relationship, compromise, collaboration, value, worth, and resource. We all have Venus somewhere in our […]
Are you a Taurus or Libra? Have your ascendant or Moon in these signs? The heat is on the next few days as Venus, your ruling planet, makes a couple of tense alignments with Uranus and Pluto. You will feel a major push to make a change, a break from […]
There’s a lot of sextiles happening in the sky today — Sun/Saturn + Moon, Mars/Pluto, Mercury/Chiron. For all you astrology students, a sextile is a 60 degree aspect between two planets; it has the energy of Venus. The two planets are social, in support of each other, and have an […]
Happy Imbolc! We’re in the part of the zodiacal calendar when the Sun is halfway between the season. Here in the northern hemisphere we’re in mid-winter, the time when the Sun hits around 15 Aquarius. The ancients celebrated these “cross quarter days” with different rituals and festivals. Halloween is another […]
Happy February! Per usual I’m running behind with horoscopes (the perils of juggling two full time jobs). But I can tell you this. A dynamic new moon next week on February 8 will open up a lunar month filled with action. After all, February is Aquarius season, a time when […]
Mercury crosses Pluto followed by a square to Uranus on Saturday and Sunday. I’ve been talking about this coming aspect quite a bit only because it’s the culmination of a story that began back on December 19–20. Mercury usually tells a quick story, but this one has been drawn out […]
Normally Mercury is a quick moving planet. It touches on themes of communication and movement; its effects are a bit ephemeral. But Mercury is moving a much more slowly after turing direct on Monday, January 25. And since its lining up with Uranus and Pluto, we’re feeling a major impact […]
Lost in the shuffle of last Saturday’s full moon was Venus’s arrival in Capricorn. Venus spends about four weeks in a sign and each chapter of her journey around the Sun is a different look into themes of value, beauty, and interpersonal relationships. One thing you have to understand is […]
