Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re winding down the lunar month, preparing for a Pisces New Moon that not only punctuates the end of this week, but takes us into the end of the astrological year. With so much Neptune in the astrology, it’s a time to surrender, transcend, and redeem.
The Capricorn Moon takes us into the dark of the moon, a time to reflect and shed the past. We’re closing out a lunar month that began with a powerful alignment to Pluto, which cleared a lot of psychic space.
We start the week with a Capricorn Moon, one that’s not only focused on the duties and responsibilities of the coming days, but one that prepares us for the new moon. Wrap things up instead of starting new.
Saturn is at the end of Capricorn. We close out a chapter that began at the start of 2018. It’s been an uphill struggle, only because Saturn set a high bar. We also had to clear things out in order to build something new. Today we reflect on our work of mastery.
Coming off of yesterday’s solar eclipse, our world is still in flux, as if we just passed through a portal. People, situations, and events are still coming in and out of our life. It’s a time of new beginnings and the end of old stories.
Venus squares Saturn, an aspect that can create hard boundaries in a relationship. Although Saturn can be a sobering influence for Venus, they both have mutual interests. They both want serious connection and partnership. They both want commitment.
The Moon continues its time in Capricorn, a sign that wants us to focus on the bigger picture — our goals, ambitions, and plans for the future. As it passes by Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, we may feel some astrological turbulence.
The Moon trades Sagittarius for Capricorn, fire for earth. It’s a day to focus on the practical as well as sorting through our to-do list. It’s also a reminder that we officially have four weeks until Saturn leaves Capricorn. The bar is still set high for us.
Mercury opposes Mars, an aspect that can make for dynamic connection, conversation, and decisions. But it can be also confrontational and argumentative, especially in a relationship. With the Sun in Libra, how can we find consensus? Harmony?
We go into the weekend with a super serious Capricorn Moon. Picking up on the Virgo Sun, there’s a focus on work and duties as well as the things we need to do in order to build for our future. But with Mars still square Saturn, the pressure is on.
The Moon trades Sagittarius for Capricorn and it’s time to get back to reality. We need to focus on work and practical matters over the next couple of days. And with Mars and Saturn still lingering in a square, we may be facing hard facts or feelings.
We start the week off with a serious and focused Moon in Capricorn. It’s all about our ambitions, responsibilities, and looking towards the greater picture. With Saturn turning retrograde today, we have a check in with the direction we’re taking our life in.
