Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Cancer Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight turns to home, family, roots, and emotional connections. As the archetype of the mother, this full moon we’ll be called to take a look at how we were nurtured and cared for as well as how we care and […]
Seasons greetings, everyone! I want to talk about the planet Uranus because it’s putting a strong current of energy into the collective and it’s a little off people’s radars yet everyone is feeling it. Here’s the thing to keep in mind. Uranus will station direct tomorrow on Christmas, the same […]
I’m a bit tardy with today’s update. Currently typing from 30,000 feet. The Moon is Gemini today, perfect for movement, travel, reading, and curiosity. Keep in mind that Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, is still tangling with Uranus and Pluto. Interactions right now need to be real and authentic. Words […]
Lazy Taurus Moon day, especially after a couple of indulgent aspects to Venus and Jupiter. (Perfect for me because I’m in Mexico.) Not much to do except snack and graze. We are in the run up to Friday’s tense Cancer Full Moon. More on that in a few days. Seasons […]
Happy solstice! Happy Sun in Capricorn! If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere it is the return of the light. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, now begins the descent into longer nights. If you are a Capricorn, you teach the world the importance of responsibility, hard work, achievement, and […]
Over the next few days Mercury will catch up with Uranus and Pluto, an electric current of evolution and transformation. Normally Mercury transits are a bit ephemeral — the planet is a bit of a quick mover — but Mercury is starting to slow down in preparation of its January […]
Let’s talk about the galactic center! This time of year, when we’re winding out the last few days of Sagittarius, the Sun lines up with something called the galactic center — or the Milky Way as it’s more commonly called. The galactic center is exactly what it sounds like. From […]
We’re already halfway though the month! So let’s take a moment and review our December 2015 horoscopes. How has it been for you? If you’re like me, those Mars aspects last week were a doozy. Don’t forget to read for your Sun sign as well as your rising (if you know […]
After last week’s blustery cosmic weather, we’re in a bit of a dip before another wave that will build this weekend and into December 25th’s Cancer Full Moon + Uranus station. Translation — regroup and take care of yourself. The energy of the rest of December is a bit intense. […]
Happy Monday! Let’s talk about Sagittarius and Jupiter, its ruling planet. December is, for the most part, Sag season. When the Sun is in Sagittarius, we naturally experience the world through the lens of faith, pilgrimages, travel, wisdom, philosophy, and abundance. People who have a strong Sag or Jupiter in […]
Happy Sagittarius New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to distant horizons, travel, and the exotic as well as philosophy, religion, and higher education. Over the coming four weeks we may set sail on a journey, take stock of what we believe in, […]
The Moon, now in Sagittarius, will take some of the pressure of today’s opposition between Mars and Uranus, a highly provocative line up of planets. Mars and Uranus together can be anything from a flash of brilliance that demands a new way of thinking or a chaotic push to make […]
