Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re coming off a Virgo Full Moon as start the week, one that wants us to organize, plan, and put the best foot forward. That said, with the Moon now in Libra, there’s a focus on partnership and connection, too.
The Aries Moon doesn’t quite have it’s usual kick as we slide into the dark of the moon. Plus, Mars is still squaring off with Neptune. We’re feeling introspective instead. Perhaps a little moody, too. Tie up loose ends today and get ready for the May 4 new moon.
Aries Moon gets things moving today, especially with Mars in on-the-go Gemini. It’s all about communication, information, and ideas. That said, we’re in the dark of the moon, the last days of the lunar month when it’s more about reflection than action.
Mercury moves into Aries and we’re ready to leap ahead. Seeing how Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, we’re making new decisions, heading in new directions, and rushing forward. With Mars in Gemini, it’s a time to explore, travel, and get curious, too.
Gemini Moon gets us moving today, inspiring us to explore, reach out, connect, and converse. Paired with the Aries Sun and Mars in Gemini, this is dynamic energy. Careful not to be pulled in different directions as Gemini can easily get overloaded.
Happy Aries New Moon! It’s a new season and Aries gives us the courage to start over as well as move forward. Ruled by Mars, Aries is action, leadership, bravery, and independence. It helps us to find our individuality, our spark, our power.
The Moon’s in Aries and we’re getting ready to take off. However, it’s not quite the new moon, so we’re pacing and preparing, which may make us feel restless or anxious. Use today to tie up loose ends from the past. Tomorrow we fly away.
We had a Gemini Moon yesterday that not only kicked off a new lunar month, but activated a powerful opposition between Mars and Saturn. If Mars rules our will and efforts, then Saturn is not unlike hitting a boundary. We’ve gone as far as we can go.
Mercury arrives in Taurus and we’re starting to pull out of the Mercury Retrograde shadow! We’re still in review, looking at events and choices from early April. Do we still value the same things we did a month or so ago? Given the chance, would we choose differently?
This is the time of the year when we shine a light on all the things that make us uncomfortable — intimacy, sexuality, trust, power, money, and vulnerability. Although not an easy sign, Scorpio is a necessary sign, teaching us about the transient qualities of life.
Today is power day. Use it wisely! With the Sun in Taurus picking up support from Pluto in Capricorn, it’s about money, stability, and securing our material needs. But the sky is a little unstable at the moment. Don’t be surprised if the day throws you the unexpected.
While the Moon rounds out its stay in Libra, highlighting relationships and interpersonal dynamics, we’re gearing up for a powerful Scorpio Full Moon. Trust, intimacy, sexuality, money — all the stuff that makes us emotionally uneasy — will be up for review.
