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.
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.
We’re bringing Libra Season to a close, a season that was punctuated by a powerful solar eclipse. Relationships, Libra’s purview, will still be a primary focus into next year. As the Sun prepares to leave the sign, it squares with Pluto. It’s a weekend of transformations.
Mercury, right behind the Sun, meets up with the South Node of the Moon, an energy that is not unlike an eclipse. Conversations may feel fated or have a deep connection to the past. We have the potential to make a choice that releases us from the past.
We’re in the space between the eclipses, a two week passage where two chapters of time overlap. It’s a portal for things and even people to come in and out of our lives. Even though eclipse season takes us forward, we’re saying goodbye to Libra this week.
Mercury, on its way out of Libra, makes a square to Pluto, an aspect that can make for sharp or even revealing conversations. If Mercury is the planet of voice and the mind, we need to work to see beyond the surface, to examine our deeper motivations.
Mercury in Libra makes its last square to Pluto, an aspect that we’ve been navigating since for the last nine weeks. Pluto has been showing us our blindspots and hidden motivations that often sabotage relationship.
It’s that time of year again; Mercury turns retrograde. Although its energy is known for turning things upside down, it’s important to have a different awareness of this time, using this energy to reflect, recalibrate, and see relationships from a different perspective.
Mercury turns retrograde in Libra. Over the next three weeks we’re reviewing our relationships, taking a second look at the needs of others, and bringing balance to our connections.
A Taurus Moon takes us into the weekend, one that picks up on yesterday’s opposition between Venus and Uranus and its seismic shift in our values. Don’t flinch from the inner work. It yields inner revelation.
We say goodbye to Virgo Season as the Sun arrives in Libra on September 22, the sign that teaches us about partnership and connection. Plus, Mercury makes tense aspects to Pluto, Saturn, and Mars, creating dynamic if not confrontational situations.
The Sun reaches the last degree of Virgo. There’s an intensity in the air as Mercury, the ruling planet of Virgo, squares with Pluto. We need to get laser focused. We’re uncovering a mystery, especially with the Moon in Scorpio. We have to make serious choices.
