Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars returns to Leo, the sign where it began its retrograde way back on December 6. It’s a revisit of themes from January as well as November 2024. After a long reevaluation of our wants and needs, power and desires, we’re stepping into new inspirations.
Mars returns to Leo and Mercury is back in Aries, a shift in gears for the final days of Aries Season as both planets return to the signs they started their retrograde. The Sun arrives in Taurus on April 19, a new season to enjoy the pleasure and beauty of Venus.
We’re coming off a Libra Full Moon as we start the week, an energy that may be illuminating a key part of our lives and asking us to set boundaries and reevaluate relationships. With the Moon in Scorpio, emotional intimacy, power, and trust are an added focus.
Venus arrives in Pisces, the sign of its exaltation and a sign where it does its best work. The next four weeks are an invitation to find beauty and glamor, to open our hearts to unconditional love, to invest in the connections that enrich us — body, mind, and soul.
The Moon’s in Aquarius, a sign that takes the new beginnings of a recent Capricorn New Moon and creates systems. Aquarius moves with vision, big ideas, and a larger vantage to build and construct. In return, what do you want to build in the New Year?
Welcome to 2025! The Moon’s in Aquarius this New Year’s Day, a sign that turns our focus to the future, to new horizons. Aquarius speaks to the importance of community and finding our place in the world. It’s also our first New Year’s with Pluto in Aquarius.
Welcome to 2025! A Capricorn New Moon brings us into the new year, a new moon to make new foundations with, ones that fulfill and support. Mars Retrograde also makes an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, a second in a series of evolutionary pushes.
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. The Moon is in Scorpio, which adds a heavier energy to the day. With the Moon pointing us towards Mars retrograde in Leo, we’re also navigating themes around identity and self, our connections to community and friends.
The Moon crosses into Taurus, a reminder that Venus, its ruler, is newly in Aquarius. If Taurus is what we invest in as well as the resources we need in order to create material stability, Aquarius provides us with vision. It’s also a need for friends and community.
Another Aries Moon day, another day for us to connect with the element fire and its creative and inspirational properties. We have an urge to move and take action. Take care to not be reactive, instead cultivating intention and vision with this powerful element.
We start the week with the Moon crosses from Pisces to Aries, from dreaming to waking. Aries gives us a boost of element fire alongside a Sagittarius Sun, a creative fire that inspires and motivates. It also picks up on Mars, newly retrograde in Leo.
Mars turns retrograde, an event that happens every two years. It’s our periodic reminder that life needs reflection as well as a recharge. Turning retrograde in Leo, one of our works will be to reconnect with our desires and passion over the next two months.
