Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy Monday! Now that we’re in Scorpio season, let’s turn our attention to Mars, the ruling planet of Scorpio. He’s been hanging in Virgo since September 24, 2015. Mars in Virgo is a bit obsessive, whether it’s pounding through minutiae of daily life or getting the work out just right. […]
Today we begin our annual descent into the underworld when the Sun arrives in Scorpio at 1:46 pm EDT. The transition from Libra to Scorpio couldn’t be more stark. If Libra is the sign that teaches us about creating peace and harmony — sometimes glossing over reality in the process […]
While Pluto is still putting the squeeze on Mercury — see yesterday’s update for more information — we can’t forget about a couple of other major alignments and switcheroos in the horizon. Tomorrow the Sun will arrive in Scorpio. In astrology we call this an “ingress,” meaning a planet has […]
I’ve been getting a lot of, “WTF is up with the energy this week,” from people. Two things to keep in mind. One, Mercury square Pluto. Any time you throw Pluto into the cosmic brew you get a lot of turbulence. Pluto throws a mirror on all the things you’d […]
It’s the last few days of Libra season, a time in the astrological calendar when we examine themes of balance, harmony, beauty, and relationships. And with Mercury paying an extended visit to Libra as well, we’re examining our choices of the people we collaborate, partner, and align ourselves with. Pay […]
We’re rapidly sliding through October and we’re already past the half way mark. It’s a good time to check in with our October horoscopes! In the meantime we’re starting the week off with a no-nonsense Capricorn Moon. Not only will it make a conjunction to Pluto today, but will square […]
We’re still riding this wave of intense energy, especially now that the Moon is in Sagittarius today. Keep in mind that intense has no polarity, meaning that this is a good day to be intentional about how we’re going to use the power of Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto. What do […]
Man, this Mars/Jupiter/Pluto energy we’re feeling is intense. Then again, I’m a Scorpio; Mars is my ruling planet. But why intense? Think of it like this. Jupiter grows and expands things. Pluto is a deep current of transformation not unlike the force of a volcano. Toss in a Scorpio Moon? […]
Today’s Scorpio Moon is a not so gentle reminder that we’re sliding into a time of the year when it’s about decay and a clearing of the old to make way for the new. You may be in the southern hemisphere and enjoying the first buds of spring, but we’re […]
Yesterday we began a powerful new lunar month, one focused on Libra. Think relationships, collaboration, cooperation, harmony, and peace. But with stressful aspects to Uranus and Pluto, we’ll have our work cut out of us over the next few weeks. How will we leave the past behind? Be true to […]
Happy Libra New Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when we open a new chapter in relationships, cooperation, peace, balance, beauty, art, and design. After working through the previous six signs of the zodiac, Libra is the first sign to explore the world outside of our personal […]
Hallelujah! Mercury is officially out of retrograde! Pivoting right at 0 Libra, Mercury is on what’s called the world axis aka one of the four cardinal points. This may be more of a potent station than normal because of the power contained in this degree. We may not only move […]
