Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar when we get a practical reset for the year. It’s a lunar to get back to the details, to focus on matters of health and wellness, work and projects, to tend to the many systems that run our lives.
Mercury changes signs, arriving in Libra and giving us a change in focus for the rest of Virgo Season. As the ruler of Virgo, Mercury turns our attention to relationships and connection. It’s also a time to gather resources, share what we have, and prioritize beauty.
Uranus turns retrograde at 18 Taurus, a major check in with a story of reinvention that’s been weaving its way through our lives since May 2018, March 2019. Uranus just wants us to be true to who we are. And sometime Uranus shakes up what’s blocking the way.
The Sun’s in Virgo now, which means it’s time to get back to work after the leisure and play of Leo Season. Virgo invites us to focus on the important details of human life. It’s a season to strategize for the future while putting things back into order.
Welcome to Virgo Season! We’re getting focused on the details of life, especially with this week’s Virgo New Moon, which gives us a reset. Uranus also turns retrograde at 18, a powerful marker in an ongoing story that began in May 2018, March 2019.
As the Sun reaches the end of Leo today, a sign it calls home, we’re on the threshold. What have we learned about joy and passion, creativity and being ourselves? When the Sun arrives in Virgo, we take this spark and hone it through craft and attention to detail.
Last day of Mars in Taurus, a sign it won’t return to until 2024. With so much happening in the fixed signs right now — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius — today may be a check in on our relationship with money, income, stability, and resources.
If we’re feeling a little indulgent, it’s because the Taurus Moon activates a luxurious trine between Venus and Jupiter. The heart wants what it wants, especially if it’s something that helps us revel in the pleasures of earthly living and material desires.
The Moon arrives in Taurus and we reach the last quarter moon, a check point that threads back to the full moon on August 11 and the first quarter moon on August 5. We’re reaching for solid ground and the support of what’s reliable and consistent.
Mercury in Virgo makes an electric trine to Uranus today, an aspect that can make for flashes of insight and helpful new perspectives — new perspectives that can help us organize our day differently or make positive changes in our health.
Last week of Leo Season. We begin to downshift after a couple weeks of high powered astrology. As we close out the lunar month, we’re looking for answers and perspective. Mars also arrives Gemini, a sign it will be in for eight months.
A focused Aries Moon takes us into the week. With Mars trine Pluto, we have the force and drive to make things happen. There’s a competitive spirit in the air. We’re also feeling out our convictions, our truth, our sense of right and wrong. Travel is also highlighted.
