Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Happy New Moon in Virgo! New moons are about new beginnings and the moment each month when we find a place of renewal and a time to plant new seeds. Through our intentions we can use the energy, as represented in the chart above, to begin a powerful new […]
One of the reasons I like to dissect the new and full moons is that they present an energy configuration that we can tap into for maximum effect. As this is the Pisces full moon, we already know that issues of spirit, compassion, music, water, and divinely inspired creativity are […]
I want to share a personal story that my guides reminded me of while I was meditating. It highlights a lesson that we could all stand to learn and how unconscious beliefs and programming are the unseen obstacles that prevent us from manifesting what we want. It also highlights how […]
Happy Leo New Moon! (8/17/2012; 11:54 am EDT; New York City) This is the lunar cycle that dares us to share our creativity, to be our unique and authentic selves. New moons are about planting seeds or intentions that will grow and blossom at the time of the full moon. […]
There’s a lot going on today astrologically and the Universe is giving us a serious dose in tough love. Think of this as the stern reminder of what you can take with you beyond 2012 and what you cannot. First, let’s focus on Mars conjunct Saturn at 24 Libra. While Mars/Saturn contacts […]
After a tumultuous July (and frankly May and June were no picnic either), it seems like we get a breath of fresh air with this full moon. A Grand Air Trine steps forward with the Sun, Jupiter, and Mars in the social signs of Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. In […]
The epic Uranus/Pluto square has been on my mind lately as Mars moves into T-square range, setting off another round of fireworks on July 17th and 18th. Any time Mars moves into hard aspect with Uranus or Pluto, eyebrows raise, including this astrologer’s. Will the volcano blow or is it […]
July 3, 2012 is a high energy day and not because Mars just marched into Libra after a seven month stay in Virgo. We have a Capricorn Full Moon igniting the Uranus/Pluto square at 2:51 pm EDT. (Chart above is set for New York City.) The orbs are a bit […]
As if 2012 wasn’t jammed packed enough with eclipses and other astrological goodies, it’s worth noting that we will have a very rare Transit of Venus happening on June 5 — so rare that it only happens every 115 years with two events clustered 8 years apart. What does this […]
In this episode of my podcast, Empowering Astrology, I sit down with wedding astrologer April Elliott Kent of Big Sky Astrology to learn more about selecting the most auspicious day to say “I do!” We also learn what goes into the foundation of an ideal wedding chart and get a […]
As a companion to my recent blog post, On 2012, I interviewed evolutionary astrologer Dena DeCastro for my podcast, Empowering Astrology. We talk about the upcoming transits and bring a balanced view to a year that has been hyped like no other. To listen, click here.
Over the last few years, “2012” has become this thing, this concept loaded with cultural speculation and a touch of doomsday hysteria. I’m not sure when exactly it entered mass consciousness, but somewhere, somehow — perhaps the new age community is to blame — the collective latched onto this idea […]
