Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to Scorpio Season. The Sun arrives in the 8th sign of the zodiac on October 22 and takes us into a sign dedicated to the mysteries of life. It’s no coincidence that it’s “spooky season”. Scorpio takes us into themes of life, death, going beyond the veil.
Welcome to the Aries Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on action, drive, power, and motivation. It’s a sign that inspires us to take the lead and strike out on our own. It brings new beginnings and can help us reinvigorate our lives.
The Moon’s in Aries, a ramp up for tomorrow’s high powered Aries Full Moon. Ruled by Mars, Aries is the fuel for new beginnings and initiatives, the courage to start over, the desire to strike out on our own. Reinvigorate dormant projects and ideas.
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.
Big Mars energies in the sky this week in advance of an Aries Full Moon on October 17. With the Sun also square Mars, it’s a day to create new initiatives, to find our power, to reach towards our goals and ambitions. We may also feel rushed and impatient.
Mars trades Gemini for Cancer, a sign where the planet of action and determination has to navigate the emotional ebbs and flows of life. In Cancer, Mars also can no longer be self motivated. Instead, the emotional needs of others take priority.
We start the week off with a Virgo New Moon, a reset for work and projects as well as our health and wellness. It’s time to get back to our real life duties and responsibilities. With Saturn opposing, we’ve got big decisions to make. We also need to be the adult.
Welcome to the Scorpio Full Moon, which is also a lunar eclipse. This is the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is transformation and rebirth, power and control, intimacy and vulnerability, money and wealth.
It’s eclipse week! A powerful Scorpio lunar eclipse lights up the sky and brings a dramatic conclusion to eclipse season. Pluto also turns retrograde in Aquarius, our first big check-in with a new era. Combined, it’s a week of high emotions and pivot points.
Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries create friction, an aspect that may pull at old emotional scar tissue. If we are feeling something come up, it may be very old, a repeat of a theme or thread that runs its way through different parts of our lives. Look for healing.
We come up to the first-quarter moon, the time after a solar eclipse when its energies become revealed. If the eclipse was a seed, the Moon germinates that seed. Look for turning points and events that play into the eclipses’s powerful new beginnings.
Welcome to the Aries New Moon, which marks a dynamic solar eclipse that plays off the energies of renewal and new beginnings. A door closes and opens. The next six months will push us to take the lead, go after what we want, and make lasting changes.
