Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’ve got a lot of things going on this week! Saturn turns direct, marking the last stage in a story that began in 2018. Mars squares Saturn on an Aries Full Moon and we’re at a crossroads, making serious decisions and having the courage to move forward.
Our busy week of planets changing signs and directions continues. With Mars now in Libra, we’re motivated to focus on relationships and connection even more. Normally used to taking the lead and getting its way, Mars now has to learn how to compromise.
Pluto turns direct at 20 Capricorn, creating a seismic shift in themes of power and control, the psyche and healing. Pluto direct can reveal something that has been previously hidden. It can also make us more aware of our shadows and deepest emotions.
The Moon arrives in Sagittarius and the vibe lightens. We’re feeling a little restless, like we want to travel and roam. Sagittarius is the seeker of the zodiac. It’s always on a quest for more knowledge and experiences. It’s a good day for learning and exploration.
It’s October! Although it’s Libra Season, a time when we focus on relationships and connection, we’re getting an early dose of Scorpio in the form of Venus square Pluto today. We’re looking at the darker side of love and its themes of power and control.
The Moon trades Cancer for Leo, feeling and emotional intensity for creativity and play. With the Sun in Libra, we’ll want to get out and socialize over the next couple days, connecting with friends and lovers alike. But our interactions may be emotionally pointed.
Another Cancer Moon day, one that speaks to emotional fundamentals — care, nurture, gentleness, connection. But our emotions may feel raw on top of Pluto’s recent direct station. Events may also feel charged. We’re examining our shadow, our hidden self.
We start the weekend with a pleasure loving Moon in Taurus, albeit one that’s digging into themes of trust, stability, and safety. By Saturday and Sunday, however, a Gemini Moon makes for playful energy. Our calendar may be busy with plans, dates, and travel.
What’s in your shadow? What don’t you want to face about yourself? Pluto turns direct in Capricorn today, tugging at our deepest issues around power, control, and trust. Pluto holds the threshold between this life and the next. Time to let something go.
This week’s a bit chockablock with major planetary configurations. As I’ve mentioned the past couple of days, Jupiter and Uranus have their final face off, making for a buzzy, confrontational energy. Today may shock or awaken, our relationships may demand more.
Feeling a little uncomfortable? Are your fears edging into your thoughts? Your deeply rooted stories coming up? That’s because Pluto stationed direct today at 14 Capricorn. Like reaching into soul and pulling out a clog, Pluto shows you what’s holding you back.
