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.
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.
Welcome to Gemini Season! Time to get curious and explore. With Mercury in Taurus, however, we’ve got to weigh our options first. Mars, newly in Leo, also makes a dynamic square between Jupiter and the Nodes, another ripple of eclipse energy.
We start the week with Mars, newly in Leo, poised to make a series of dynamic connections to Jupiter and the Lunar Nodes. It’s a week to move mountains, to make powerful choices and even more powerful actions. It’s also another ripple of eclipse energy.
Welcome to the Taurus New Moon! It’s the time in the zodiac calendar when we turn our attention to the material world, to enjoy the fruits of life, to seek pleasure, and to cultivate abundance and resources. Taurus is also nature in full bloom after the dark of winter.
Jupiter arrives in Taurus! The planet of faith and philosophy turns our attention to the material plane for the next year. We also have a Taurus New Moon, a big boost for recent eclipse energies. Mars also arrives in Leo, bringing us into a dynamic second half of May.
We go into the weekend with tense opposition between Mars and Pluto, made stronger by an Aries Moon. Be present with the emotions that come up. Pluto is holding a mirror to something, helping us to look at and integrate what is hidden within.
The Moon trades gentle Pisces for Aries, picking up on a powerhouse opposition between Mars and Pluto that’s brewing in the sky. As a result, we may feel a dynamic push to make important changes, transforming or reforming something from the past.
Venus arrives in Cancer, the first herald that it will be summer here in the northern hemisphere soon enough. If Venus is what we love and value, then in Cancer we love family, nostalgia, and taking care of others; we value stability and security.
We’re between the eclipses, this liminal space where time bends and twists and prepares us for a new story. We’re navigating what I like to call Big Life this week, especially as the Sun meets up with the North Node and we get to the first quarter moon.
Mars and Mercury oppose Pluto today, a high stress aspect that demands that we have to change how we act, how we communicate, how we think. Pluto also reveals what we’re not owning. It’s a day to speak up and take our power back.
