Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re in the dark of the moon. Only two days before the start of the lunar month, this is the time to pull inward and reflect. It’s also an intuitive time, one where our dreams and invisible realms are more accessible. On Wednesday, June 13, we begin again.
One of the undercurrents to this week’s tough face off between the Sun and Saturn has been the influence of Neptune. Turning retrograde today, it’s infused the past few days with a deep sensitivity and heavy emotion. We feel everything and everyone with Neptune.
We’re a couple of days past the Sagittarius Full Moon. With its strong aspects to Saturn and Neptune, we may be feeling emotionally heavy. Saturn is the weight of time and responsibility. Neptune, however, is the sacrifice that life sometimes demands from us.
We’re wrapping up a Libra Moon day, which will turn our attention to relationships, connection, grace, charm, and beauty. It’s a breezy placement for the Moon, especially with the Sun and Venus in Gemini. The element air is about movement, connection.
There are days throughout the year that a planet appears to move backward and forward in orbit, not unlike the gears on the cosmic clock shifting into a new hour.
Here are a couple of things to note as we start the week. Mercury is finally in Gemini after almost twelve weeks in Taurus. The other big thing to keep in mind is that Neptune turns retrograde today. Are you feeling overly sensitive? More emotional than usual?
Heads up. Neptune, the planet of mysticism and altered states of consciousness, will turn retrograde on June 14 — less than a week away. Neptune is a planet that speaks to the collective emotional experience; we feel everyone and everything.
