Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
My oh my, there’s a lot of stuff going on in the sky today. And it’s all pretty big deal. First, let’s get Mercury Retrograde out of the way. Yes, the planet of communication, travel, thinking, ideas, and movement turns retrograde today and will trace a path from 1 Aquarius […]
This is Saturn season, the time of the year when the Sun spans the signs of Capricorn and Aquarius — both Saturn ruled. Capricorn is the descent of spirit into matter; Aquarius is the ascent of matter back to spirit. When we’re working through these two signs, it’s all about the physical […]
After all the planetary shifts over the past six weeks, we’re definitely in new territory this month. Can you feel it? On top of that, October is Libra season, a time when we look at themes of balance and harmony. As a result, we may be taking a look at what needs […]

Eclipses are the drivers of fate in astrology, often corresponding with major events in our lives. The full moon […]
Happy New Moon in Gemini! Time to plant our seeds in support of communication, information, writing, travel, and learning. Gemini is the sign of curiosity as well as duality. New moons set the tone for the next two weeks and this one will have a strong theme of movement to it, even if […]
Here we go again; time for another edition of Mercury Retrograde! What is that feeling? Oh, déjà vu. Why? Because Mercury will retrace its steps for the next three weeks. Prepare to review, revise, and other “re” words.
In the latest edition of my Empowering Astrology podcast, I was joined again by evolutionary astrologer Dena DeCastro to review the astrology of 2012. In a previous podcast, we demystified the hype surrounding this mythic year and looked to the upcoming transits. Now that we’re nine months in, what are […]
