Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Jupiter turns retrograde at 21 Gemini, the beginning of a second look at what we’ve learned and discovered since late May. Over the next four months we will examine our decisions, we’ll re-explore Gemini, a sign about education, communication, and information.
Today’s Sagittarius Moon points us towards the stars, inspires us to look towards the world, to seek and explore, to find answers. But with Jupiter about to turn retrograde in Gemini, there’s a tension, one that may pull on matters of faith, truth, and meaning.
Jupiter and Pluto change directions, two heavy hitters and that pull at matters of faith and transformation. Emotions are running high, especially a week after a solar eclipse. We’re still feeling ripples. Mercury also arrives in Scorpio; it’s a deep look within.
With last week’s solar eclipse behind us, we’re in a new setting of time, one that takes us into the next six months. It’s still a week of transitions and one that may be marked by events as well as a psychic intensity, especially as we come up to the first-quarter moon.
Lots of planet comings and goings as Jupiter in Taurus turns retrograde just as Venus in Leo turns direct. It’s a week that inspires us to look towards the world, to seek out meaning and purpose, but also to make sure we know what’s truly important.
We start the week with Jupiter turning retrograde, a planet whose job it is to expand our horizons. In Taurus, Jupiter has been teaching us about value and worth, stability and resource. We may be feeling philosophical about what we need materially.
Last day of the lunar month, a time that wants us to pull back, rest, and reflect. Tomorrow’s powerful Leo New Moon launches us into a new chapter. In the meantime we may feel emotional and nostalgic for the past as the Moon moves through Cancer.
It’s a Leo New Moon, one that kicks off the season in earnest. As a fire sign, Leo inspires us to prioritize our passions and creativity, a vital force that powers our lives. Jupiter also turns retrograde in Aries, touching on themes of faith and commitment.
Jupiter turns retrograde in Capricorn, marking the last in a series of three retrogrades that began this week. Retrogrades are a time of reflection and integration instead of action. For Jupiter, it’s time for us to rework our faith as well as what we believe in.
Jupiter turns retrograde in Sagittarius, touching on themes of faith and belief, truth and wisdom. It’s a day to explore, to gather our thoughts and reflect on how we’ve grown in our awareness of self as well as the world since Jupiter arrived in Sagittarius.
The Moon straddles Taurus and Gemini today, two very different signs. One says go slow. The other says go fast. With Taurus plus Venus conjunct Neptune, we’re slowing down to enjoy the pleasures of life, especially anything that is beautiful and romantic.
The Moon wraps up its stay in Sagittarius, kicking off the weekend with a need to explore and wander. Sagittarius loves a good time, but with Jupiter in Scorpio, careful not to overdo it. Additionally, the Moon meets up with Mars, sparking philosophical debates.
