Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A full moon lights up the sign of Gemini this week. With aspects to Saturn, we’re continuing to build for the future, to make important commitments, and step into new roles of responsibility. The full moon may also be a reality check as Mercury squares Saturn.
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.
The Moon trades Sagittarius for Capricorn. Our big Sag visions get a reality check. Capricorn, after all, is an earth sign. Its deep and sometimes rigid practicalities help us to build for the future. Use today to get organized and to put things in order.
A Sagittarius New Moon brings us into a busy December filled with new horizons and new ideas. That said, we’re meeting up with the energies of Saturn this week. We need to make a commitment. Mars also turns retrograde in Leo and Neptune direct in Pisces.
The Moon’s in Virgo and we likely have a busy day ahead of us, one with errands to do and places to go. It’s a perfect day for knocking out items from our to-do list or getting things cleaned up. With Mercury in Leo, invest in what creates joy.
Mars in Gemini makes a square to Neptune, the last in a series of aspects that thread to October 2022 when Mars originally turned retrograde. If Mars is the planet of action and drive, it had to learn to take a back seat the past few months and go with the flow.
Mars finally turns direct in Gemini, ending a two-month retrograde that began on October 30. Venus in Aquarius also makes a dynamic connection to Uranus and the Nodes. Relationships are at a crossroads. People may come in and out of our lives.
The Moon moves into curious Gemini and it’s a check in with Mercury Retrograde. Do we need to go back and revisit something from the past? Restart an old project? Clear space for something new? Find a new approach to an old problem?
An Aries Moon takes us into the weekend, one that pushes us to get organized, focus on projects, and tend to our physical health. With Mars Retrograde, we’re still weighing our options, especially with Mercury now retrograde. It’s a day to be deliberate.
It’s another day for debates and lively points of view as Mercury in Sagittarius faces off with Mars in Gemini. It’s both a motivation to learn and explore, but also be a bit argumentative. Remember, Mars is still retrograde. Think before you act; weigh your options first.
We start the week off with an Aquarius Moon, one that opens us up to the larger picture and the various systems that run our lives. Aquarius and the Sagittarius Sun love big ideas and vision. It’s a day for spirited yet serious conversation that builds for the future.
