Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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 […]

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.
Happy Virgo New Moon! Happy solar eclipse! This is the time of year when we begin a new lunar month in support of health, wellness, acts of service, humility, and getting our lives organized. Plus, this new moon is a solar eclipse, which means that we’re starting a powerful six […]
Change is afoot! Any time you have an eclipse — and we’ll have two this month — you know that one narrative will end and another will begin. The solar eclipse on September 13 will set us on a new six month course, bringing to a close one that began with […]
Happy Pisces Full Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on compassion, sensitivity, mysticism, intuition, illusions, art, sacrifice, and unconditional love. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, connecting us to the universality of existence and the liminal space between this life and the next. The full moon […]
Happy Leo New Moon! This is the time of the year when we begin a lunar month in support of creativity, performance, self expression, identity, romance, and fun. Leo is a sign, after all, that loves a good party, reminding us to be joyful, childlike and playful. The new moon will be exact […]
