Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
It’s the dark of the moon, the time in the lunar cycle to go within, to rest, to consult our inner oracle. On the cusp of Halloween, the spirit world is close. It’s a day to light a candle and reflect on our departed loved ones, but also connect to our highest guidance.
We start the week off with a Virgo New Moon, a reset for work and projects as well as our health and wellness. It’s time to get back to our real life duties and responsibilities. With Saturn opposing, we’ve got big decisions to make. We also need to be the adult.
Venus arrives in Aquarius, joining up with Mars and Pluto, a powerhouse lineup that invokes an energy that wants to overhaul and transform our relationships, even if it’s our relationship with ourselves. There’s a push to start something by first clearing a path.
If the recent Cancer New Moon pulled us back to themes around home and family, memory and roots, today’s opposition between the Sun and Pluto is a demand to reform, transform, and leave the past behind.
We’re fresh off a Pisces New Moon and we may be feeling an existential and emotional pull, a call to make sense of things and focus on what really matters. Pisces reminds us that, even though we live in a modern world, to not neglect the needs of the soul.
It’s a Leo New Moon, one that kicks off the season in earnest. As a fire sign, Leo inspires us to prioritize our passions and creativity, a vital force that powers our lives. Jupiter also turns retrograde in Aries, touching on themes of faith and commitment.
As the Sagittarius Moon guides us to examine our faith, truth, and what we stand for, a sharp square between Mercury and Uranus shakes us awake and pushes us to see things from a new perspectives.
After an action packed start to the week, a Virgo Moon puts things into focus. Although Mercury is currently retrograde, it’s still a day to reflect, edit, and reconsider different approaches to old problems.
A Virgo Moon takes us into the weekend. Much like yesterday, we’re continuing to focus on the details, working and crafting towards our future. Picking up on the energies of Uranus, be open to powerful insights.
Mercury turns retrograde in Aquarius, pivoting on the energies of Saturn and Uranus. Long held ideas may shift. An unexpected opportunity may send us in a new direction. We’re going further into a new life.
Moon slips into fast talking Gemini and we’ve got phone calls to make and messages to send. Work and projects need attention, too. But with Mercury turning retrograde, something unexpected may be revealed.
Although lighter on astrology, this week prepares us for the changes of next week, opening us up to new ideas and new perspectives. Our world may start to rumble as Mercury turns retrograde with the energies of Uranus in Taurus.
