Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
While the Moon wraps up its time in Aries, we’re still unpacking the energies of yesterday’s solar eclipse, one that set the stage for the next six months. In the spirit of the sign, we’re in a time of new beginnings. But Aries can also inspire as well as provoke.
We arrive at an Aries Solar Eclipse, one of the headlining astrological events for 2024. As the first sign of the zodiac, it symbolically brings us swiftly into the energy of new beginnings and renewal. We also have a heavy-duty alignment of Mars and Saturn.
Welcome to Taurus Season. We’re in the portal between eclipses, a gateway that rushes people as well as events in and out of our lives. We’re also coming up to Pluto Retrograde, which means that it’s a powerful week for metamorphosis and change.
Here is a clip from my recent webinar, The Eclipses of April & May 2023, a deep dive into the power of eclipses and how they herald the major events of our lives. These eclipses in particular close out a story that began in late 2021 and usher in something very new.
Welcome to the Aries New Moon, which marks a dynamic solar eclipse that plays off the energies of renewal and new beginnings. A door closes and opens. The next six months will push us to take the lead, go after what we want, and make lasting changes.
Tomorrow’s solar eclipse not only sets the stage for the next six months, it also opens up a chapter that will play out into early 2025. We’re getting ready to learn how to stand on our own two feet, take the lead, and reach for what is going to nurture and support us.
We officially kick off eclipse season with a powerful solar eclipse on April 20 that touches on Pluto in Aquarius. A new life is ready to rush in. We may have already seen clues in the previous days and weeks. Mercury also turns retrograde in Taurus on April 21.
We’re winding down the lunar month as we start the week with a Pisces Moon, one that feels liminal. Things may feel hazy or like they don’t have a lot of energy. Then again, with a solar eclipse three days away, we’re revving up for something powerfully new.
Eclipses strike a new hour. Every six months our lives turn swiftly, heralding new beginnings. With a solar eclipse in Aries, the first in its series, we are stepping into a new story over. On the other hand, a lunar eclipse in Scorpio brings a story to a decisive end.
