Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
And just like that we conclude eclipse season, a season that has a tendency to turbulently and swiftly move us into a new time, one that will unfold over the next six months. Although the July 5 eclipse was the last in the series, we will feel its effects all month long.
Coming off of Sunday’s powerful solar eclipse, we start the week off in a new time, one that not only stretches to the end of the year, but also puts us on a very different path. Things may be shaking a rearranging as a result. After all, that’s what eclipses do.
Welcome to the Cancer New Moon. It’s not only the solstice and the start of a new season, but it’s a solar eclipse, too, a time of supercharged new beginnings. The great stage of our lives rearrange. New characters and set pieces come in. Others leave.
We’re in the dark of the moon as we go into the weekend, a quiet time to retreat, reflect, and shed anything from the past. But we’re also on the doorstep of a Cancer New Moon on June 21, a solar eclipse that will be a powerful portal to the second half of 2020.
As we open up a new chapter courtesy of the June 5 lunar eclipse, we’re beginning to close another that began in July 2018 with this week’s solar eclipse in Cancer on June 21, right on the solstice, the punctuation at the end of a two year sentence.
We start the week off with an Aries Moon, a Moon that usually like’s to take action, move forward, and go after what it wants. But with Mars in Pisces alongside Neptune, we have to be compassionate with our actions and move forward with empathy.
Emotions run high as we prepare for tomorrow’s lunar eclipse Sagittarius Full Moon. Between Mars and Neptune in Pisces and Mercury’s square to Chiron, what we’re feeling is deeper than this moment in time. It is coming up so it can be healed.
Gemini Season, with its love of ideas and information, its need to gather and explore, is about choice. It’s the sign of duality … the twins. It’s a left or a right. An up or a down.
The Sun and Venus align in Gemini; we’ve reached the midpoint of Venus Retrograde, a time when we need to reevaluate and reflect on what we value and how we connect to one another. It’s also a time to reconsider relationships, beauty, and our choices.
We’re in eclipse season as we come up to the first in a trio of eclipses on June 5. In the sign of Sagittarius, we have to examine our beliefs, issues of faith, truth, and meaning. It’s about facing the shadow within.
It’s June. And we’re officially in eclipse season. Emotional energy runs high. We’re navigating capital L Life events. This week, in the run up to the June 5 lunar eclipse, we may be on the verge of major decisions or even a change in direction.
The Moon’s in Virgo today, a Moon that wants to get organized, work on projects, and clean things up. It’s a Moon that loves practice and ritual, dedication and skill. With Mercury newly in Cancer, we’re feeling sensitive, our emotions heightened.
