Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
It may be Leo Season, but the Moon’s in Virgo. How do we put our ideas and creativity into form? What sense of craft, organization, and attention to detail do we need? It’s also a day to focus on our material lives as well as the practical details of daily life.
Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer. Over the coming three weeks, until July 12, we’re reworking how we communicate and make decisions. Mercury in Cancer runs on gut instincts and memory. How much of our past is getting in the way of being in the present?
The Moon’s in Virgo today, a Moon that wants to get organized, work on projects, and clean things up. It’s a Moon that loves practice and ritual, dedication and skill. With Mercury newly in Cancer, we’re feeling sensitive, our emotions heightened.
Mercury crosses into Cancer, a sign that it will work its way through until August 4. If Mercury is communication, ideas, and learning, then in Cancer Mercury relies on its intuition in instinct. It’s a kind or comforting word. It’s empathy. It learns by feeling.
With last week’s Gemini New Moon, we’re in a new lunar month and a new season, one that highlights communication, ideas, information, connection, and choices. It also means that we’re in eclipse season; a full moon lunar eclipse is just two weeks away.

On the cusp of a Gemini New Moon, we descend within. It’s a moment to reflect, meditate, and to look at ourselves. Mercury is also about to change signs, arriving in Cancer and teaching us that words and ideas can have an emotional impact.
The celestial gears are shifting this week. First Venus arrived in Gemini and soon Mercury will trade Cancer for Leo. We’re also in the gate for a powerful Capricorn Full Moon on July 9. With Pluto playing a starring role, something will be irrevocably changed.
If we’ve been tending to our roots this week, then today’s Virgo Moon will a sharp eye for what’s working and what’s not. Like Cancer, Virgo is a sign that’s associated with food — food that heals and purifies. Feed yourself and your life only the best.
Happy Leo New Moon! Happy Mars in Scorpio! New moons are new beginnings and this one will be all about creativity, vitality, the arts, drama, children, happiness, abundance, and the bounty of life. That sounds great, right?? The new moon will be exact on July 26, 2014 at 6:42 pm EDT, 3 […]
