Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Saturn is now in Aquarius. Humanity shifts into a new hour, one that points us towards connection, community, and innovation. Over the next few months — a preview of a larger chapter — we’re working to build social connection even as we socially distance.
We start the week on a serious note as the Moon arrives in Capricorn. It’s a day to plan and take steps towards a bigger goal. If life is in a state of disruption at the moment, how can we use Mars in Capricorn to create new structure and organization?
Although the Scorpio Full Moon was yesterday, its potent energy will reverberate over the coming days. Plus, this Moon had a bit of an edge. Holding the mirror to ourselves, do we like what we see? Are we ready to stop sabotaging ourselves?
Happy Scorpio Full Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on power, intimacy, sexuality, taboo. As you can imagine, Scorpio isn’t an easy sign. It takes us through life’s more challenging emotions and experiences. It teaches us about rebirth.
As the Moon wraps up its time in Virgo, it’s a perfect day to tend to health as well as our overall wellbeing. It’s also quite possible that this week’s punch of Mars, Pluto, and Saturn has shaken a few things loose. Use today to tidy up.
The Moon’s in Virgo, a day to get organized and tend to the rhythm of our daily lives. We’re also feeling some pressure from Saturn as well, a planet that amps up Virgo’s need for perfection. It’s time for duty, tough choices, and practical action.
Happy Aries New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we kick off a new cycle. As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries takes the lead. It moves things forward. It’s action as well as the courage to start anew.
The Moon rounds out its time in Pisces and we start the weekend in the dark of the moon. Although the days before a new moon tend to be quiet, we’re on the cusp of a fiery, unpredictable Aries New Moon. Emotions are heating up; we’re ready to run forward.
We start the week with an Aquarius Moon, one that shows us life through the lens of friendship, community, and social connection. Aquarius, an air sign, is also quite intellectual. As much as today may be about socializing, it’s also about big ideas.
True, there’s a sweet little sextile between Venus and Jupiter today, a pairing that softens tensions and promotes common vision. (The two planets are in “mutual reception.”) But really the dominant energy all week is Mars and its upcoming square to Uranus.
If Mars is passion, action, fire, and the spark of life itself, then its conjunction to Pluto today is a force of nature. Mars and Pluto bend. They pull, explode, reveal. They kill, they resurrect. They are a volcanic eruption. They are fire into stone.
After spending the last four weeks traveling through the dark waters of Scorpio, Venus is now in Sagittarius! Venus is the planet that reveals what we value, what we love, and how we relate to others. When she’s in Sag, we’re attracted to the exotic. We value exploration.
