Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Aquarius New Moon. As the penultimate sign of the zodiac, we’ve reached a part of the sky that speaks to live on a larger level. Aquarius is the sign of community, society, and humanity.
Coming off yesterday’s Leo Full Moon, we may be thinking more about identity and persona, talents and confidence, even if we’re struggling to find our own. A Venus-Pluto conjunction is also magnetic, seductive.
We’ve got a bright Leo Full Moon at 9 degrees this week on Thursday, January 28, a moon that reminds us to be ourselves, to find joy and passion in our lives. Leo is the sign of the Sun and the Creator.
The Moon straddles Gemini and Cancer today, two very different signs. While Gemini is restless in its pursuit of information and ideas, Cancer wants us to slow down and find comfort, care, and connection. With Mercury Direct, things are a little wonky, too.
Mercury turns direct this week and boy did I have my hands full with Mercury during my live look at the astrology. In my second recording, I talk about how this week touches on the upcoming eclipse season and gets us ready for the next big act.
Welcome to the Libra New Moon. This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to relationship. How do we connect? How do we partner? With the new moon making contact to Saturn and Pluto, we may have to make a major restructuring.
We’re winding down the lunar month with a Moon in Virgo, which brings us full circle after last month’s Virgo New Moon. It’s a practical check-in with the goals and to-dos we listed, one last push to get things done before Friday’s new moon.
Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio. Something hidden may be revealed. A secret may be discovered. We’re getting to the bottom of a mystery. Over the coming weeks we’re pulling back so we can get a new perspective, making new choices where necessary.
It’s a Libra New Moon this week, which means that we’re trading one chapter for another, one that will turn our focus to relationships and partnership, design and beauty, peace and harmony. But with Saturn and Pluto nearby, it’s a milestone for this year’s astrology.
We’re rounding out the lunar month this week, which means that it’s time to wrap up projects and initiatives that we started in September. We’re also on the cusp of Mercury Retrograde. Keep this in mind if communication, choices aren’t so clear right now.
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?
As we open up a new chapter courtesy of the June 5 lunar eclipse, we’re beginning to close another that began in July 2018 with this week’s solar eclipse in Cancer on June 21, right on the solstice, the punctuation at the end of a two year sentence.
