Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Virgo Sun makes its annual opposition to Neptune in Pisces, an axis of signs that the Sun and Neptune have been locked in since 2012. Neptune can make us question reality, light up our dreams, and pull us beyond the physical world. Stay grounded.
It’s the last days of Virgo Season, a season to regain focus and practice our craft. It’s one last push with the practical energy of Virgo before we arrive in Libra. The Sun also opposes Neptune and reality may be hazy, the veil thin, our dreams vivid.
A Capricorn Full Moon lights up our week. It’s a showcase for Saturn in Pisces. What we’re building and committing to has to have purpose. Neptune still pulls at the edges of our reality. We’re also getting ready for Venus Retrograde later this month.
Neptune turns retrograde at 27 Pisces, and influence that is both subtle and atmospheric, magnetic and spiritual, imbuing our week with an otherworldly energy. That said, Neptune is an evolutionary planet, it reminds us that our work is to transcend ourselves.
Last day of Gemini Season. And yet we’re only two days out from a Gemini New Moon. Are we coming or going? We’re planting seeds for new beginnings, but we’re also getting ready to change focus when the Sun arrives in Cancer tomorrow.
Fresh off of a new moon and Saturn Retrograde, we turn the page on a new season and go into an achievement-minded week. We’re feeling a push to step up, make our mark, or set necessary limits. The Sun also arrives in Cancer and marks the solstice.
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.
The Moon wraps up its stay in Libra. Perhaps this is an early check in with Venus and Neptune, whose trine will be exact on June 2, two planets that are in for the romance and glamor of life. Find opportunities to be open hearted, generous, and to forgive.
After seven months in Gemini, Mars finally gets out of its retrograde shadow. It’s been a slow road at times, but one that forced us to reconsider options and choices and to forge new paths. We’ll start to see some needed movement and different perspectives.
The Sun makes its yearly rendezvous with Neptune, a merge of energies that has the power to blur, soften, and transform … or pull us away in a current. Our sense of self has to open to our higher self, without illusion. Find inspiration in music and art, too.
Mars in Gemini makes a square to Neptune, the last in a series of aspects that thread to October 2022 when Mars originally turned retrograde. If Mars is the planet of action and drive, it had to learn to take a back seat the past few months and go with the flow.
Last week of Pisces Season, one that brings us to Neptune, amplifying emotions, visions, and our dreams. Mars finally clears its retrograde shadow, giving us a much needed push along with Mercury in Aries. We also close out the astrological year.
