Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Aries New Moon! Welcome to the solar eclipse. This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn a new leaf. Aries is the sign of starting over, of spring and renewal. Ruled by Mars, Aries is also the sign of leadership, action, and individuality.
With the Sun now in Aries, we’ve been turning our attention to Mars in Cancer. Like Aries, Cancer is a cardinal sign, a sign that aligns with the four seasons. We have an impetus to turn a corner, to set things in motion, to connect with the energies of renewal.
Big news this week. We reach our second eclipse of the season, an Aries New Moon solar eclipse that sets the stage for the next six months. Eclipses mark new chapters and directions and Aries is a reboot. Neptune, after 13 years in Pisces, also arrives in Aries.
Welcome to the Cancer Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on home and family, roots and foundation. Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is a sign that has a deep memory. It has an emotional instinct to care and nurture, It supports our lives.
Busy day as Mercury moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn. Whatever we’ve been thinking about or planning, now it’s time to take measured action and to make commitments. With Mercury square the Lunar Nodes, decisions may prove pivotal.
The Moon in Libra today, an airy support to the fire of the Sagittarius Sun. Together, both signs have a keen eye for justice and equity. They are motivated to seek out like-minded communities. They have charm and intellect in equal measures.
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.
Mars reaches Uranus in Taurus, a high powered aspect that has been building all week. This is an energy that can bring the unexpected as equally as it pushes us to reinvent and take a new path. This is our moment to break free and leave the past behind.
Mars joins with Chiron in Aries, an initiation into a new cycle of healing. Mars may press on an old pain point today, or inspire us to find our courage, to show others what’s possible through our actions and bravery.
Three planets in Gemini, a big change after last week’s arrival of Jupiter in Gemini. The spotlight is on travel and play, curiosity and learning. But it’s a week to focus on responsibilities and goals and new points of view.
Another Capricorn Moon day. Another day to build community and take on a role of heart-centered leadership. We’re also wrapping up the lunar month, looking ahead and preparing for the future. There’s also an opportunity to heal or release a pain point.
The Capricorn Sun squares Chiron in Aries into tomorrow, activating a sore spot or an ache that takes us back to past memories and old scars. Use the day to heal. We may need to find the courage to move on and create new initiatives for healthy living.
