Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars continues its series of squares to a trio of planets in Capricorn — Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn. This week this Mars fire has to negotiate the realities of Capricorn, from rules and boundaries to the need to create balance, especially if something is not working.
We start the week with a Taurus Moon, one that craves stability, security, and the comforts of home, especially with Venus over in Cancer. But the astrology this week is anything but stable. The earth is shifting. We’re awakening to something new.
An Aries Moon takes us into the weekend and we’re on the go, we’re taking action, and moving forward. Paired with the fire of the Leo Sun, it’s a day to explore themes of faith, truth, and meaning. It’s also a day to look outwardly and discover the world.
The Pisces Moon meets up with Neptune. We’re drifting, floating, and perhaps feeling a little spacey, too. It’s a day for dreaming and exploration of the astral realms as well as quiet contemplation. Use this energy to receive inspiration for our creative projects.
We’re looking at two aspects this week — Mars square Pluto and Saturn sextile Neptune — and what it means for you. Also, how do we continue to navigate Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio?
We start the week with an Aquarius Moon, one that’s connecting us with friends and community. We’re also at the first quarter moon and whatever was seeded with the October 27 Scorpio New Moon kicks into gear.
Happy Scorpio New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we step into Scorpio’s emotional unknown. It’s the season where we face finiteness of life and embrace its cycles of death, rebirth, and transformation.
The Moon moves into Aries and we start the weekend with the energies of inspiration and motivation. Aries helps to make for fresh starts and leaps forward. The Moon also activates Mars and Uranus in Aries. We may be at a turning point, ready to break free.
We start the weekend with a Capricorn Moon, one that’s more focused on work and responsibility than relaxing. We’re also coming up to the end of the lunar month, which means that this weekend is a time to pull inward and prepare for the next cycle.
As the Moon rounds out its time in Sagittarius, it meets up with Venus, a planet that wants to take its time and enjoy the sweetness of living. We may be dreaming of far flung, luxurious locations as a result. Can’t travel? Curl up with a travel documentary instead.
Another Sagittarius Moon day, one that wants us to stretch our legs, to seek and explore. The Sagittarius Moon loves adventure as much as it loves philosophical debates and learning. Make sure you spend the day getting out into the world.
We start the week off with a Scorpio Moon, a moon that likes to laser in on truth, even if they are uncomfortable. Be opening to powerful insights and awareness. We may also be feeling exhausted as the Moon picks up on an overworked Mars square Saturn.
