Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Cancer Full Moon! It’s the time in the lunar calendar when the light shines on home and family, roots and foundation, the past and memories. As the first water sign, Cancer reminds us of what really matters as well as our deepest emotional needs.
Welcome to 2023! A tender Cancer Full Moon lights up the week, putting the focus on home, family, and memories. We’re also reflecting on the past as Chiron hits on a few emotional sore spots. Venus also arrives in Aquarius, bringing a love of community.
Mercury in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries, a series of three aspects during Mercury’s long journey through Capricorn that takes us into the end of January. Mercury and Chiron are the courage to say the hard thing, to set healthy boundaries in relationships.
Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius make a trine to Chiron in Aries. It’s a day to align our faith and values with our courage and conviction. Whatever has been holding us back may not seem so insurmountable, especially with the confidence of Sagittarius.
The Libra Sun squares Pluto in Capricorn, an aspect that speaks to power and control as well as our relationship with it. Deep emotions may come, especially emotions that have a connection to family and the past. Pluto wants reformation, transformation.
Fresh off an Aries Full Moon, we enter the week with power and stride. But with energies of Chiron, we’re navigating deeper emotional pain points. Mercury also returns to Libra after its retrograde and Mars makes a square to Neptune.
We’re coming off a high powered Aries Full Moon, one that showcased the energies of Chiron. It’s not just a full moon about power and action, but one that touches on a deeper pain point around how we use our power, how we take action, so we can heal.
The Libra Sun comes up to an opposition to Chiron into tomorrow, a major influence in the October 9 Aries New Moon. We may be feeling an old pain point, a revisit of a theme or experience that linger like an ache. Have the courage to move forward.
Chiron turns retrograde at 16 Aries, an influence that we feel more on an emotional and psychic level. If Chiron reveals a pain point or something in need of healing on a soul level, then there’s something that we have to have the courage to deal with today.
We wrap up Cancer Season this week and get ready to shine in Leo Season. Chiron also turns retrograde in Aries, picking up on our emotional baggage and spiritual knots. Do we have the courage to stand up for ourselves? Be brave?
Mercury, on its way out of Cancer, makes an opposition to Pluto today, an aspect that can be a push to reform and transform how we communicate and think. It’s also be a day of powerful memories and emotions and a need to reshape our relationship with the past.
Welcome to the Cancer New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we return home. Cancer reminds us what’s truly important in life. It also helps us to prioritize connection, whether to loved ones or to the past.
