Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Today Venus will say goodbye to Leo and hello Virgo, the sign of purity, service, and organization. If we’re playing by the old astrology rules, Virgo isn’t exactly the best placement for Venus. The ancients would say she’s in her “fall” (because she’s in the opposing sign she’s exalted in, […]
Venus is finally winding her way through the final degree of Leo after four MONTHS in the sign of creativity, performance, self expression, and romance. By comparison, Venus normally spends four weeks in a sign. The reason Venus was in Leo so long is because she retrograded from July 25 […]
A lot of stuff happening in the sky! Can you feel it? Now that the Moon is in Leo, it will add some lunar fuel to today’s Sun/Pluto square. And, let’s be clear, Pluto makes for blunt astrology. Even though the Sun is in peaceful Libra, Pluto ain’t got time […]
I’ve been shedding light on tomorrow’s opposition between Mars and Neptune, two planets that have been calling on us to examine the tension between what we want versus some sort of higher plan. (Check out my write up last Friday in case you missed the details.) But it’s not just Mars […]
After all the planetary shifts over the past six weeks, we’re definitely in new territory this month. Can you feel it? On top of that, October is Libra season, a time when we look at themes of balance and harmony. As a result, we may be taking a look at what needs […]
We’re in the build up to Tuesday’s opposition between Mars and Neptune. What does surrender mean to you? What does it mean to accept that we can’t control everything? That there are forces greater than us, like a tidal wave? What does it mean to have compassion for those who […]
Yesterday marked the half way point of Mercury Retrograde, which began on September 17. I haven’t talked much about it because, honestly, there’s just been so many other things going on. Like Saturn in Sagittarius, a solar eclipse in Virgo, and a lunar eclipse in Aries — all marquee astrological […]
The Moon is in Taurus today, reminding us all of the need for solid ground and stability after a rocky past few days of eclipse shake ups. Taurus is an earth sign. It’s primal urge is to seek shelter, comfort, and the resources needed to feel secure in this world. […]
How are people faring after Sunday’s lunar eclipse in Aries? I’ve been hearing a few classic eclipse stories aka swift events that bring an end to something, a no turning back, or realization that it’s time to move on. Because eclipses activate the lunar nodes, it’s not uncommon to experience […]
Happy Monday! We had a powerful Aries lunar eclipse yesterday that ignited the energies of Virgo even more. (Aries is ruled by Mars; Mars is in Virgo; Jupiter is in Virgo as well.) Keep in mind that lunar eclipses are a time when we really see things for what they […]
Happy Aries Full Moon! Happy lunar eclipse! This is the time of year when we feel a push to take action, get motivated, be a leader, examine how we use our will, and bravely begin again. Full moons are decision points and we may have a choice to make in the […]
After three hard years in Scorpio, Saturn arrives in Sagittarius in 2015 for an extended stay. Few signs can mark such a stark divide. If Scorpio is a passage through life’s darkest experiences, then Sagittarius is the light and faith to see us through to the other side.
