Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
It wasn’t just Mercury that changed signs yesterday. Venus arrived in Cancer, too. As the planet of love and money, Venus loves the nostalgia of the past, the comfort of the familiar. Home and family are of high value as well. It needs emotional connection.
The Sun arrives in Cancer, the fourth sign of the zodiac, just after Mercury and Venus. It’s a vibe shift. With Cancer not the focus, so is home and family, roots and foundation. It’s a season to make time for what really matters, but to look to the past, too.
We’re wrapping up Gemini Season this week, a season that has had us on the move. But now that Mercury is in Cancer, our focus turns to home and family. Conversations are nostalgic. We speak from the heart. We’re more sensitive than usual.
Mercury in Cancer squares off with Chiron in Aries. Do we have the courage and the bravery to make the right choice? To go after what we want? To speak up? In order to move forward, we have to untie ourselves from the links to the past.
Mars squares Uranus today, a tense aspect that starts our week off with an edge. These planets have been known to disrupt, upend, and cause accidents. But they can also give us an opportunity to make changes and push through blocks with determined vision.
Mercury, on its way out of Cancer, makes an opposition to Pluto today, an aspect that can be a push to reform and transform how we communicate and think. It’s also be a day of powerful memories and emotions and a need to reshape our relationship with the past.
Two planets change signs this week, which means the story is changing. Mercury goes in Cancer. But it’s Mars’s arrival in Taurus that’s the big news as Mars pushes us to be bold in the coming weeks.
Moon arrives in Virgo and we’re ready to get things moving. Time for projects, especially anything practical around the home. Our choices, actions, and decisions also have to be heart aligned.
We’re coming off yesterday’s Aquarius Full Moon energies, a full moon that not only put us in touch with our shared humanity, but potentially shook us or opened our awareness to something new. We may still be feeling the energy today as well.
The Sagittarius Moon picks up on Mercury’s face-off with Jupiter. It’s a day to share our wisdom and knowledge, but one where we may have to navigate opinions and outsized claims. With Mercury in Cancer, we may be feeling emotional and touchy as well.
We’re going deeper into Leo Season, a time when the sun shines on personality, self expression, identity, and creativity. This week Mercury in Cancer makes a few tense aspects to Mars in Aries as well as Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn.
Another Virgo Moon day, one that wants us to tend to the practical details of daily life. It’s a day to get things done, to check off our lists, to practice, organize, and craft. The Moon arrives in Libra this weekend and we’re on the go, busy connecting with others.
