Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
Coming off the Virgo New Moon, we’re still in its energies of renewal and refocus, especially on all matters of health and wellness, work and craft. But the Moon’s now in Libra, highlighting relationships and connection as we go into the weekend.
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when turn our focus towards health and wellness, from how we take care of our bodies to the foods we eat, the work we do, and the rituals we practice. Virgo helps us to discern and to organize, too.
The Sun squares the Lunar Nodes. We’re at a crossroads as we reach the midpoints between eclipses. Life turns a corner, perhaps in subtle ways, but we’re making decisions and aligning ourselves with events that will play out into November and December 2020.
It’s the last week of Virgo Season, which means we’re closing out a time meant to turn us towards the practical side of life. With a Virgo New Moon on September 17, we’re getting a late in the season push to organize, practice, clean, and create ritual.
The Cancer Moon keeps us busy today, but it also helps us to focus on the home as well as what we need to feel safe and secure, especially during these times. Make a point to reach out virtually to loved ones and friends, especially if you’ve been in isolation.
After spending the past couple of days in Gemini, the Moon arrives in Cancer, trading thinking and ideas for feeling and intuition. The Cancer Moon pairs well with the Taurus Sun, two signs that prefer to nest, cook, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
A Gemini Moon takes us into the weekend, a moon that wants us to search, explore, and try new things. It’s a Moon that also likes to travel. With Mercury speeding through Libra, it’s a breezy couple of days for connection, partnership, and even romance.
We start the week on the midst of some big deal astrology. While some of it’s subtle, tugging on emotions and questions of faith and meaning, some of it’s confrontational. There’s a face off brewing between Mars, Mercury, and Saturn and it’s a major reality check.
Aries Moon gets things moving today, especially with Mars in on-the-go Gemini. It’s all about communication, information, and ideas. That said, we’re in the dark of the moon, the last days of the lunar month when it’s more about reflection than action.
Venus arrives in Gemini and we’re in love in curiosity for the next four weeks. We value language, ideas, socializing, schmoozing, and travel. Here Venus finds its charm as well as a breezy, playful style. Taurus Season just got flirter.
We’re half way through Mercury Retrograde, our periodic rewind. What are you having to do over? Rethink? Although Mercury Retrograde can come with a side of hijinks and breakdowns, it helps us make new choices after seeing the result of our previous ones.
