Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Capricorn Sun opposes Mars Retrograde in Cancer, an energy that may make for flared tempers, but more productively used as a harness for motivation. Mars Retrograde is a two-month review of our wants and desires. The opposition puts this in the spotlight.
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.
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.
