Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Leo New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to joy, creativity, and passion. Leo is the sign of the Sun and reminds us that we all have to shine in our own ways.
As we wrap up the lunar month, today’s square between the Sun and Uranus provides a potent seed for the August 8 new moon. Think about what you want to reinvent, change the story. Set this energy in motion.
We’re beginning to wrap up a Cancer lunar month that began on July 8, a lunar month that was a search for home and familiar connection. Did we find a new anchor? Reflect on your Cancer Season journey.
Chiron gives us an opportunity in the midst of this week’s tense astrology. Although we may be more aware of our pain points, we have a chance to move forward or take action that allows us space to heal.
We’re navigate the powerful energies of Saturn square Uranus this week. With Mercury in the mix today, we may break from an old way of thinking or make a radical choice. Something may shake us awake, too.
In 2021, it’s as if we have one foot in a new life, one foot in an old one. And there are points throughout the year where we feel a strong pull between these two halves. With this week’s Leo New Moon and its activations of Saturn and Uranus, we’re at one of those points. How will we resolve the tension?
The Sun opposes Saturn. We’re either up against a wall or feeling the push to take the next step up. Saturn demands more responsibility, commitment, and accountability. If something is not working, it’s a hard stop.
The Moon straddles Aries and Taurus. We’re ending the work week with a boost in focus courtesy of Mars in Virgo, helping us to organize and get cleaned up. A Taurus Moon helps us to make necessary changes.
Another day of planetary shifts as Mars arrives in Virgo. An area of our lives needs renewed attention as Mars demands action, especially around themes of health and wellness, work and service.
Jupiter arrives back in Aquarius, a sign it previously made a quick visit. For now, we put away the dreamy inspiration of Pisces for the intellect and analysis Aquarius. It adds fuel to the changes we’ve been making.
Jupiter, the planet that teaches us to explore and learn about the world, changes signs. It arrives in Aquarius after a year long stay in Capricorn, turning its attention from earth to air, from manifestation to ideas and connection, society and humanity.
After a swift visit to Cancer, Mercury arrives in Leo, giving our Leo Season a boost of curiosity, play, and creativity. Over the next two weeks, our words have heart and soul, our ideas light a spark within.
