Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
I’m fascinated by astrology and this idea of metaphorical time. When the Sun is in Pisces, as it is for most of March, the cosmic weather shifts. It gets hazy and damp with a dash of glitter. We also experience life through the prism of compassion, sensitivity, spirituality, and reflection […]
My dad emailed me yesterday: Hi Kate, What the hell is going on in my horoscope? Sent from my iPhone You know stuff is getting real when your dad is emailing for cosmic insight. (He’s an Aquarius with Scorpio rising, BTW.) We’re a week and a half way from a […]
Lazy day alert. With the Moon in Taurus and Venus making a square to Jupiter, it’s all about creature comforts, pleasure, and indulgence. In fact, the Moon will trine Jupiter today, a combo that is both generous and known for wanting more. Are we experiencing too much of a good […]
We’re contrasting between elements today. On one hand, with the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Leo, we’re feeling the fire. Think creativity, adventure, travel, self expression, and performance. Sag and Leo make for fun loving, dynamic energy, too. But the Sun just made a conjunction to Saturn and […]
Today Saturn and Neptune make an exact square, a connection that doesn’t happen very often. A square is friction; two planets running up against each other with different agendas and Saturn and Neptune couldn’t be more different. If Saturn is structure and worldly ambitions, then Neptune is sacrifice, release, and […]
Happy birthday, Sagittarius! You’re the sign that teaches us to think big, cast our eyes to the horizon, and set off on great adventures. Ruled by the planet Jupiter, you are the philosopher, the preacher, the teacher, the vagabond, and the explorer. Sagittarius has a reputation for great wisdom — […]
Ever since Saturn went into Sagittarius back in September and Jupiter in Virgo in August, both picking up on the energy of Neptune in Pisces, we’ve been working through themes of faith, meaning, spirituality, purpose, and service. There’s a lot of tension in the sky between the invisible and the […]
On top of this witchy pairing of Scorpio and Virgo we’re feeling today (see yesterday’s update for more info), Mercury and Neptune will make a trine. If Mercury is left brain analytical thinking, then its connection to Neptune, the great dissolver of boundaries, will make for a psychedelic wave of […]
Welcome to Scorpio season, our annual descent into the underworld where we get to examine and catalog all of the things that make us uncomfortable. See, that’s Scorpio’s job, to dig into the tender areas and reveal the hidden. Scorpio is alchemy, magic, transformation, and our connection to the astral […]
The station of the planet Neptune, whether retrograde or direct, is a call to reconnect to the vibrancy of Source. We are showing you a gentle stream of water. It washes away everything. It purifies. Neptune is a current of purification.
On April 4, 2011, Neptune quietly slipped into Pisces for the first time in a century and a half. I say quietly because Neptune’s arrival didn’t pack the punch of Pluto’s entry into Capricorn nor Uranus’s into Aries. No, gossamer Neptune transitioned into Pisces like a gentle breeze announcing a shift in the direction of the weather.
