Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A Scorpio Full Moon lights up the sky, a catalyst for the powerful energies of Mars and Pluto. We’re clearing space for new life. This is a full moon for rebirths and transformations. And with an opposition to Uranus, a full moon for reinventions and awakenings.
Welcome to the Scorpio Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on intimacy and vulnerability, power and control, trust and security, emotional and financial legacies. Scorpio is the passage that we all take from one life to the next.
A Taurus New Moon turns our focus towards material matters. The next four weeks will be a check-in with money and income, resource and property. It’s also a call to rediscover life’s earthly pleasures. Plus, Pluto turns retrograde at 3 Aquarius.
Welcome to the Taurus New Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar when the page turns to our material lives. Taurus is the first earth sign. It’s the primal needs that we all have — stability and security, resources and assets. It’s also the earthly pleasures of life.
Mars makes its last dynamic opposition to Pluto, a volcanic-like aspect that has wound its way back and forth across the sky since November 2024 and again in January 2025. We’ve had deep internal work to do around power and control, desire and want.
Mars, back in Leo, makes its final powerhouse opposition with Pluto, which means it’s a week for transformation, to face ourselves. Venus also meets up with Saturn in Pisces and the Lunar Nodes, a crossroads for relationships. Plus, a Taurus New Moon.
Welcome to Taurus Season. The Sun arrived in the second sign of the zodiac on Saturday, inviting us to slow down after the rush of Aries Season. Ruled by Venus, Taurus is the sign of material stability and security, money and resource, pleasure and sensuality.
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.
Mars prepares to turn direct at 17 Cancer this Sunday, the culmination of a retrograde that began back on December 6. It’s been a second look at how we use our Mars — how we take action, how we express our desires, how we take the lead.
While yesterday’s Cancer Full Moon may still be touching on emotional and psychic points within as well as around, the Moon has moved onto Leo. We reach a point in the sky activated by a recent Mars-Pluto opposition. It’s a day for inner reflection.
With the North Node of the Moon moving into Pisces, our collective “due north” will point to a sign of compassion and creativity. While this marks a larger shift for 2025, we will see smaller moves this week with Mars in Cancer and Mercury in Capricorn.
