Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Now that Mercury is in Taurus, it makes a square to Pluto in Aquarius, an aspect that can make for intense conversations. Pluto can be a truth serum for Mercury, too. We may receive unfiltered answers to questions. Or, it’s a need to get to the bottom of a mystery.
Mercury arrives in Taurus after two months in Aries, a winding journey that included a retrograde. It’s a breath of fresh air. Mercury brings movement, however it can be slow to make choices. It’s a sign where Mercury wants to strategize and plan.
The Sun meets up with Uranus and Jupiter, an eye-opening week that wants us to expand our horizons and discover new perspectives. Mercury finally arrives in Taurus. Plus, Mars and the North Node join up; actions have long term consequences.
Another friendly and gracious pairing of the Gemini Sun and Libra Moon, two air signs that inspire us to get curious and connect with others. Catch up with friends or rekindle an old connection. We’re more aware of what’s valuable and important.
We start the week with a Virgo Moon, one that gets a push from Mercury at the end of Aries. Time to tidy up, get organized, and make plans for the days ahead. When Mercury arrives in Taurus later today, we’re investing in our material stability and security.
With Mercury now direct, picking up on a square from Saturn, we’ve got serious choices to make this week. Venus also meets up with Uranus in Taurus, which makes for a reinvention and a jolt in a new direction.
Welcome to the Gemini New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we turn to the power of the mind. It’s a season to focus on learning and education, ideas and information. Travel and exploration feature, too.
It’s Taurus Season! We kick the week off with the Sun’s change of signs, a reminder that it’s a season to find pleasure, sensuality, and beauty in the coming weeks. It’s also a reminder that we’re in the midst of a seismic shift with all things Taurus.
Mercury meets up with electric, revolutionary Uranus in Taurus. It’s a day for awakenings, breakthroughs, and powerful new insights. Although Taurus has an instinct to preserve, we’re feeling a push to shake things up and leave the past behind.
Mercury arrives in Taurus this week on April 27, a sign that wants us to slow down and enjoy life. In the first few days of this week, it’s not a time to rush forward or make decisions impulsively without weighing our options.
After spending the past couple of days in Gemini, the Moon arrives in Cancer, trading thinking and ideas for feeling and intuition. The Cancer Moon pairs well with the Taurus Sun, two signs that prefer to nest, cook, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
We start the week off with a Gemini Moon, one that may make for a busy, active Monday. A Gemini Moon needs stuff to do and craves new experiences and information. We may see a big shift later as Mercury moves to Taurus, getting us to slow down.
