Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
After ten weeks retrograde, Mars finally turns direct today. Phew! We’ve had to do some serious work on where we’re wrong, where our stubborn faith and nearsightedness have taken us of course. Hopefully we learned something.
Things are heating up today courtesy of an Aries Moon + Mars in Scorpio! Combine this with Mars at a near standstill, preparing to turn direct tomorrow, and you’ve got a recipe for a lot of messy emotions spilling out.
We’re in the build up to next week’s station of Mars. It will turn direct at 23 Scorpio on June 29. We’re feeling the ripples and waves of the energy in the collective. Mars rules Volcanos, so, as a result, we may feel like we’re ready to blow.
Aquarius Moon day creating a bit of a push/pull between needing the comfort of something close like home and wanting to explore the world through ideas, intellect. Aquarius is a very detached sign and about as far away as you can get from the Sun in Cancer.
Today our gal Venus says goodbye to Gemini, a sign that she’s known to have a bit of fun in, and checks into Cancer for a four week stay. Cancer is the sign of home, family, roots, emotions, and the mother. It’s the first water sign and in it we discover our primal emotions.
Just a friendly reminder that Mars is still retrograde. I’ve heard from a few of you and you’ve mentioned that things are a little sluggish or unresolved. Keep in mind that Mars is fire. It’s action, command. Any planet in retrograde doesn’t have the same energy.
Hey guys, it’s June. It’s also Gemini season. This month has a bit of a serious feel to it thanks to the influence of Saturn, which is in contrast to Gemini’s tendency to play it fast and loose. As a result, many of us will be at a crossroads in June. Which direction will we go?
Mars is back into Scorpio, a sign it previously visited from January 3 to March 5. In fact, Mars will be back to the same degrees it was at from February 18 to the beginning of March. We will be revisiting something from that two week time period. Get ready.
As of this morning Mars is back in Scorpio. If Mars is action then Scorpio is power, invoking the forces of life and death, chrysalis, and resurrection. Scorpio is a look into the dark underbelly of life as well as the darkness within.
The full moon is also right on Mars, making something that we call a conjunction in astrology. This is a bit of an angry or in-your-face placement for Mars, like someone, out of no where, telling you how they really feel. And seeing how Mars is retrograde, we have something to work out from the past.
Let’s talk about Mars. As I mentioned yesterday, Sagittarius is a sign that’s been getting a lot of play lately. That’s because Mars has been in the sign of faith and truth since the beginning of March — that’s a long time for Mars to be in one sign.
You may have heard that come Thursday, five planets will be retrograde. As disconcerting as this may sound, it’s not uncommon for four planets to be in retrograde and the outer planets spend 4-5 months of the year moving backward. So it’s normal. I think what’s a little unusual about this one is that both Mars and Mercury are retro, two personal planets.
