Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
After careful deliberation and reflection, Mars Direct turns direct at 8 Gemini after a two-month retrograde. This is a day when we may feel a rush of energy and forward movement after things quite not working out the way we’d like them to. Pace yourself.
Venus in Aquarius squares off with the Lunar Nodes, a point that can act like an eclipse. People may be coming in and out of our lives this week. Relationships are at a crossroads. There may be a quick change in direction, building on earlier shifts.
The Moon takes us into Virgo and it’s a day to tidy up and return to old projects. With Mercury Retrograde, we also need to find different perspectives and revise our opinions. Make sure work is aligned with a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and service.
Mars finally turns direct in Gemini, ending a two-month retrograde that began on October 30. Venus in Aquarius also makes a dynamic connection to Uranus and the Nodes. Relationships are at a crossroads. People may come in and out of our lives.
We start the week off with a Leo Moon, one that puts an emphasis on creativity and self expression, identity and personality. It also gets into deeper emotional material, getting to the heart of hidden motives, power, control, and even self sabotage.
Welcome to the Cancer Full Moon! It’s the time in the lunar calendar when the light shines on home and family, roots and foundation, the past and memories. As the first water sign, Cancer reminds us of what really matters as well as our deepest emotional needs.
The Capricorn Sun makes an illuminating trine to Uranus in Taurus. It’s a day to switch things up, reinvent ourselves, and connect to our talents. Seeing how Capricorn and Taurus are both earth signs, this also extends to money, spending, and our material lives.
Venus, newly in Aquarius, gets support from Jupiter today, a sweet energy that favors connecting with friends, intellectual conversations, and quiet acts of generosity. It’s also a day to nourish the things that we truly love, to get curious about the world.
The Moon moves into curious Gemini and it’s a check in with Mercury Retrograde. Do we need to go back and revisit something from the past? Restart an old project? Clear space for something new? Find a new approach to an old problem?
Welcome to 2023! A tender Cancer Full Moon lights up the week, putting the focus on home, family, and memories. We’re also reflecting on the past as Chiron hits on a few emotional sore spots. Venus also arrives in Aquarius, bringing a love of community.
Happy New Year! We’re working with a Taurus Moon, one that picks up on Capricorn’s need for stability and security. Use the day to get practical, organized, and focused on material goals for the coming year. Know the power of your value and worth, too.
What will 2023 mean for you? It’s a pivotal year as two planets, Saturn and Pluto, change signs. With Saturn in Pisces, we’re building spirituality. With Pluto in Aquarius, however, it’s a new 20 year chapter.
