Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re winding down the lunar month this week, a lunar month that brought plot twists throughout July. Time to reflect and integrate our experiences and also prepare for a Leo New Moon on August 4, one that puts the energies of Leo on the center stage.
We’re winding down the lunar month as we start the week, a lunar month that has been filled with a fair bit of twists and turns. If July was a linchpin for the astrology of 2024, a month tying together two solar eclipses, what personal events have we been navigating?
Chiron turns retrograde at 23 Aries, digging into a psychic knot, pulling at an old thread. There is a subtext to what we are feeling and navigating at the moment. Chiron reveals, subtly so, what needs healing. In Aries, we need to find our courage and bravery.
The Moon moves into Aries and we get a boost of element fire alongside a Leo Sun. Fire energy is creative. It inspires and motivates us. With both Mars and Jupiter in Gemini, we’re thinking of the future and feeling the spark to move, explore, and socialize.
The Moon’s in Pisces today, a deep dive into emotional terrain. As much as Leo Season is about the light of the Sun, it’s a day to explore the shadows, including intimacy and vulnerability, power and control, secrets and the hidden parts of ourselves.
Welcome to Leo Season! The Sun arrives in the fifth sign of the zodiac, it’s home turf, kicking off four weeks devoted to fun and play, creativity and the arts, individuality and self expression. Leo invites everyone to shine like the Sun and to find our passion to live.
Welcome to Leo Season! The Sun arrives home to the sign it rules, kicking off a four weeks to have fun, create, and recharge. With Mars in Gemini, we’re on the go this season. Just off a Capricorn Full Moon, we also need to get serious about a matter.
Welcome to the Capricorn Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on duty and responsibility, growing up and maturing, serious decisions and personal milestones. Capricorn draws a line and sets a bar in equal measures.
Mars in Gemini likes to move fast, from running to jumping in the car and driving off. As the planet of action, Mars amps up Gemini’s curiosity and need to explore. Gemini is also the sign of communication and Mars will motivate us to seek out new ideas.
We’ve got a couple of things on the horizon as we go into the weekend. First, Mars enters Gemini on Saturday for a six-week stay, ramping up movement and exploration. Then we have a Capricorn Full Moon, putting the spotlight on maturity and responsibility.
Another Sagittarius Moon day, another day to bring ritual and practice, meaning and purpose to our day to day lives. We may feel inspired to volunteer and find ways to help others, especially if it is fueled by our own stories, past, and memories.
The Moon moves onto Sagittarius, taking some of the pressure off of recent temperamental skies. It’s a day to open our eyes, to gain a wider perspective, to get philosophical. It’s also a day to focus on matters of health and wellness, body, mind, and soul.
