Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
With last week’s Gemini New Moon, we’re in a new lunar month and a new season, one that highlights communication, ideas, information, connection, and choices. It also means that we’re in eclipse season; a full moon lunar eclipse is just two weeks away.
We start the week off with a Moon in Cancer, a nostalgic moon that pulls us towards the past to spend time at home, cook old family recipes, or to gather the things we need to feel safe and secure. With our world shaking, what are we reaching for comfort?
We make the move from Taurus to Gemini Season, from earth and our material lives to air and our need to learn and experience. A Gemini New Moon on May 22 marks this transition further, setting up a time for new initiatives with writing, learning, travel.
We’re not only coming up not a lunar eclipse this week, but we’re seeing a rare alignment between Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Plus, Uranus turns direct! Yes, the universe is packing in a lot of transformative energy into one week.
We kick off the week with a Moon in Taurus, one that craves stability and comfort as well as the simple pleasures of living. It’s a day to focus on our financial lives, too. Keep in mind that we’re a few days away from a lunar eclipse. Life’s about to get loud.
Mars arrives in Sagittarius! Over the coming six weeks we’re searching the world for new adventures. We also have a desire to learn and explore the philosophical side of life. That said, we’ll need to steer clear of Mars in Sagittarius’s opinionated streak.
The Moon’s in Aries and we’re on the move. An Aries Moon needs action and, after a long holiday season, we’re ready to take action with all our initiatives and plans for the New Year. Activating last week’s eclipse, we’re also ready to turn a powerful corner.
Another Pisces Moon day, one that has us dreaming, meditating, and contemplating life’s serious questions. How do we go forward into the new year? What choices are we making in January that will set us on new course? What are we rebuilding?
