Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A Sagittarius New Moon brings us into a busy December filled with new horizons and new ideas. That said, we’re meeting up with the energies of Saturn this week. We need to make a commitment. Mars also turns retrograde in Leo and Neptune direct in Pisces.
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 Moon moves from Pisces to Aries and Scorpio Season gets another dose of element fire alongside Mars in Leo. It’s a day for creativity, but also a day to turn our visions into reality, to create a plan, to get to work. Health and wellness are a focus, too.
The Moon’s in Virgo today, a Moon that’s setting rules and boundaries, putting our focus on home and family, pushing us to clean up and get organized. It’s also the first-quarter moon. Our recent Gemini New Moon comes into sharp focus.
First the Sun and Venus in Gemini. Now Mercury reaches its checkpoint with Saturn in Pisces. It’s a day if not a week of choices, the kind that may seem inconsequential or serious, but choices that have the potential to shape our future. We have to be accountable.
Mercury prepares to change signs, another signal that we’re moving into a new chapter, one that begins with the November 13 new moon. In the meantime, we’re pulling inward to reflect on our choices. We may be contemplating a serious decision.
Venus arrives in Libra and brings us back to October’s eclipses and their new beginnings. Doors are opening this week. Mercury steps into Sagittarius, too. Scorpio Season gets a jolt as Mars opposes Uranus in Taurus as we close out the lunar month.
Welcome to the Gemini New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we learn about voice and communication. It’s a lunar month to get curious, to have new experiences, and gather new perspectives. It’s also a time to look at our relationship with choice.
We’re in the dark of the moon, a time when we pull back, reflect, and release, all in advance of the Gemini New Moon on June 18. What have we learned over the past four weeks? We may feel the gravitas of Saturn, too, pushing us to take responsibility.
It’s a structural point for the year as Pluto returns Capricorn and Saturn turns retrograde in Pisces. We’re building as well as breaking down the past and opening our hearts. We also wrap up a lunar month, which brings us to a Gemini New Moon on June 18.
Mercury in Scorpio squares with Saturn. It’s a sharp look at the facts. Do things add up? Mercury has a bit of a reputation for being a detective in Scorpio, obsessively looking at the details. With aspects to Uranus, conversations may rattle or illuminate.
