Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re in a new lunar month, one that brings us to our first eclipse next week, a lunar eclipse at 23 Virgo. With Mercury arriving in Aries this week, another page turns in our ongoing eclipse story. Mercury brings an energy of renewal and new beginnings.
Mercury makes moves as we start the week, leaving Pisces for Aries. If Pisces is the end of the zodiac, Aries is the beginning. The planet of communication, curiosity, and choice brings its energies to a sign that is about action and the renewal of life.
Venus prepares to turn retrograde, taking the baton from Mars, which recently completed its retrograde. Like Mars, Venus is a planet that reveals our day-to-day lives. It is a review of what we love, how we connect, and what we invest time and money in.
Welcome to the Pisces New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we come to the end of the zodiac. Pisces is finality, the liminality between one life and the next, one breath and the next. It governs over our dreams and illusions as well as our search for meaning.
Mercury and Saturn join up in Pisces, a precursor to next month’s lunar eclipse in Virgo, on March 14. Saturn makes us aware of our boundaries, but also our maturity and growth. It’s a day of metrics, a measure of how far we’ve come, and where we need to go.
After two months, Mars is now direct in Cancer, a release of pent up energy. We’re also coming to a Pisces New Moon on February 27, the official kick off of Eclipse Season. We enter a lunar month marked by an eclipse on March 14. Serious decisions to be made.
Get your first look at what the eclipses of March 2025 mean for you and your sign, a deep dive on the power of eclipses and their role in the major milestones and achievements if our lives.
Mercury arrives in Pisces, a sign where the planet of thinking and analysis has to find its intuition. While traditionally not a sign that Mercury is at home in, it is an invitation to find compassion and to be a sympathetic ear. It also activates an upcoming eclipse.
Today’s Virgo Moon is a reminder that we are a month away from a lunar eclipse. Begin to pay attention to Virgo’s themes of organization and detail, practice and craft, health and wellness. They may be key themes in March.
An Aries Full Moon brings eclipse season to a finale. It’s an emotional charge forward. It’s a spark of inspiration that sets us off on a new journey. With Mars in Cancer, we reach towards the familiar. However emotions and impatience may run high.
Pluto turns direct at 29 Capricorn, its final leg in a sign it’s been in since January 2008. It’s the end of an era as well as the transition into something new. A key area of our lives has been irrevocably transformed over the last 16 years. What have we learned?
A Capricorn Moon means that we’ve reached the first-quarter moon after a solar eclipse. It’s a checkpoint, a time when events can manifest and we can see what this solar eclipse was bringing into our lives. Capricorn also speaks to maturity and responsibility.
