Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius. The past is the past. We can’t go back. A new story continues to emerge, one that first began in 2023, but we may be struggling to let go of the old. Use this week to work on building new systems. Mercury also arrives in Taurus.
We start the week with Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius, a pivot point that has colored our experiences over the last week, continuing to so into this week. Pluto pulls at the deepest parts of ourselves, the hidden and shadow facets in order to reveal the light.
A Taurus New Moon turns our focus towards material matters. The next four weeks will be a check-in with money and income, resource and property. It’s also a call to rediscover life’s earthly pleasures. Plus, Pluto turns retrograde at 3 Aquarius.
Welcome to the Taurus New Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar when the page turns to our material lives. Taurus is the first earth sign. It’s the primal needs that we all have — stability and security, resources and assets. It’s also the earthly pleasures of life.
The Taurus Sun makes a square to Pluto in Aquarius, a point of friction that pushes us to make personal changes. Pluto, in its highest expression, is soul alchemy, the ability to turn shadow into light, lead into gold. It’s a day to face ourselves.
The Moon is in Aquarius again, a Moon that has us looking towards the future, reaching out to friends and community. This is a Moon that seeks justice, that cares about humanity, and puts its heart into helping others on a broader level.
Mars, back in Leo, makes its final powerhouse opposition with Pluto, which means it’s a week for transformation, to face ourselves. Venus also meets up with Saturn in Pisces and the Lunar Nodes, a crossroads for relationships. Plus, a Taurus New Moon.
Mars returns to Leo, the sign where it began its retrograde way back on December 6. It’s a revisit of themes from January as well as November 2024. After a long reevaluation of our wants and needs, power and desires, we’re stepping into new inspirations.
Mercury in Aries gets support from Pluto today, a sextile that is an opportunity for conversations that reveal hidden information, or present a deeper message. Mercury and Pluto are known to be able to deftly navigate psychological themes and material.
Welcome to the Aquarius New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when our attention turns towards our lives played out on a larger scale — the communities we belong to, social threads and connectivity, the issues and causes we feel drawn to.
We’ve come to the dark of the moon, the time before the new moon when the lunar light is at its faintest. As a result, this is a day to go within, to reflect on the last four weeks since the December 30 Capricorn New Moon. Pay attention to dreams.
An Aquarius New Moon is a reset for the season, one that turns our attention towards friends and community, society and humanity, new futures and horizons. It’s also a showcase for Pluto and its transformative energies. Uranus also turns direct at 23 Taurus.
