Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars comes to the end of Virgo and forms a trine to Pluto in Capricorn, a powerful force that pushes us to reform and transform. We have an opportunity to clean things out, make things over, and even move mountains. Put this energy into practical use.
Last day of Leo Season, a time to reflect and integrate our season with the Sun. Our lives now hopefully brighter and reinvigorated, we prepare to step into Virgo, a season that takes the creative spark of Leo and puts it into shape and form.
The Leo Sun gives way to Virgo and we kick off a season under a very different vibe, one that stresses practicality, order, and commitment. With Mercury Retrograde, it’s also a season to review and rework the structures and systems that run our lives.
The Moon switches to Pisces, normally a dreamy sign for the Moon to travel and explore, but it meets up with Mercury, Mars, and Saturn. There may be some emotions as well as a need to put things into order and take on responsibility.
Today’s Scorpio Moon picks up on the energies of Mars in Virgo, an exacting placement that gets into themes around perfection, control, and taking charge. We may also be feeling a little more emotional than usual, seeking out stability and security.
Big news! The Lunar Nodes change signs, moving into Aries-Libra. It’s another pivot point for the year. Venus also turns retrograde. Mars faces off with Saturn in Pisces. And it’s a Cancer New Moon.
Mars arrives in Virgo, a change in gears for Cancer Season. We’ve got work to do, especially with Mars opposing Saturn into next week. Mercury also arrives in bright and creative Leo. Plus, we’re wrapping up the lunar month and going into the dark of the moon
Mars, the planet of drive and action, arrives in Virgo and gets to work with precision and detail. It’s time to organize our lives, put things in order, and start new projects. We’re seeking purity and perfection. This is a Mars that also wants to be of service to others.
If Mars is action and motivation, its journey through Virgo will channel that energy towards precision and excellence There’s a drive for perfection when Mars is in Virgo. Everything has to be just so, perhaps even obsessively.
Mars reaches the end of Virgo. We may be wrapping up a project or giving it a critical look. Over the last five weeks, work and health have been top priorities. Where do things stand? What have we accomplished?
Mars in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces, highlighting a need to align our actions with something greater. We can’t push our agenda today, instead feeling compassion for others and finding a greater compromise.
Although we’re just days into Virgo Season, we still have a foot in Leo Season as we come to the end of a Leo lunar month. That said, there’s a focus on spirituality as well as compassion and surrender as Mars makes an opposition to Neptune.
