Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A full moon lights up the sign of Gemini this week. With aspects to Saturn, we’re continuing to build for the future, to make important commitments, and step into new roles of responsibility. The full moon may also be a reality check as Mercury squares Saturn.
Mercury joins the Sagittarius Sun today, our regular sign that we are halfway through Mercury Retrograde. While Mercury Retrograde is not a time to put our lives on hold, it is a time to slow down and to be deliberate in our thoughts and choices.
We’re in the run up to a Sagittarius New Moon, one that will bring new ideas, new horizons, new points of view. In the meantime, Mercury turns retrograde, a reminder that as we turn ahead we need to review the past, including our past decisions and choices.
We’re in the days of the lunar month, a time to wrap up projects and initiatives, to look towards the future, and hope and dream for the coming weeks ahead. With a Moon in Libra, it’s also a day to spend with friends and community as well as like minded people.
The Sun’s in Sagittarius and the Moon’s is Leo today, a double dose of fire to get us ready for the weekend. Fire energy needs action; it wants to play and create. Plus, Jupiter in Gemini wants connection, which makes for an adventurous combination.
Another Gemini Moon day. Another day for conversations, connections, and curiosity. As we reach the last-quarter moon, we’re wrapping up a lunar month that began on August 4. What has worked? What are our choices going forward? What are our duties?
A curious and restless Gemini Moon starts off our week, activating Mars and Jupiter, also in Gemini. With the energies of the Virgo Sun, we’ve got things to do, responsibilities to manage, and duties to perform. There’s a push to get organized.
The Sun leaves Leo for Virgo today and we arrive at a new season, a flip of the page on the astrological calendar that takes us into the sixth sign of the zodiac. In Virgo, we discover the practicalities of daily life. We find craft, detail, and service to others.
The Sun gets support from Jupiter today, a combination that inspires new horizons, curiosity about the world, and time spent with community and friends. Along with a Virgo Moon, we’re looking at the practical steps to take to make a vision a reality.
Mercury is now retrograde in Virgo. As the planet of communication, ideas, movement, and choice, the next three weeks are a review. Can we make better decisions? Do we need to see a matter differently? Do we have other options to explore?
As we start the week, we’re under the energies of a brilliant Leo New Moon, one that wants to put the spark back into our lives. Leo invites us all to shine, to radiate. With Venus now in Virgo, we need to invest in our wellbeing, find value in helping others.
Now that the Moon’s in Gemini, life picks up the pace. A Gemini Moon plus a Leo Sun is all air and fire, curious and combustible in equal parts. It’s a day for social activities as well as friends and community. We’re also looking towards and hoping for the future.
