Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Venus arrives in Leo for a four month stay, an extended look at our relationship with creativity, passion, and romance. Mercury finally arrives home to Gemini, a buzzy renewal for the season. And Pluto returns to Capricorn to begin to wrap up old business.
We start the week with Mars, newly in Leo, poised to make a series of dynamic connections to Jupiter and the Lunar Nodes. It’s a week to move mountains, to make powerful choices and even more powerful actions. It’s also another ripple of eclipse energy.
Jupiter arrives in Taurus! The planet of faith and philosophy turns our attention to the material plane for the next year. We also have a Taurus New Moon, a big boost for recent eclipse energies. Mars also arrives in Leo, bringing us into a dynamic second half of May.
It’s eclipse week! A powerful Scorpio lunar eclipse lights up the sky and brings a dramatic conclusion to eclipse season. Pluto also turns retrograde in Aquarius, our first big check-in with a new era. Combined, it’s a week of high emotions and pivot points.
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, which is not only a powerful start to the month, but a major checkpoint with an energy that will be with us into the coming years. Pluto is a force of transformation and reformation, revealing something to us that will irrevocably shift.
A Leo Moon takes us into the weekend, a Moon that wants to play and have fun. With the Moon picking up on the energies of the Taurus Sun, we’re seeking out the comforts of home or bringing our creative energies towards what really nourishes us.
Welcome to the Aries New Moon, which marks a dynamic solar eclipse that plays off the energies of renewal and new beginnings. A door closes and opens. The next six months will push us to take the lead, go after what we want, and make lasting changes.
The Moon spans between Capricorn and Aquarius, between the visible and invisible structures that govern our lives. With the Moon in Aquarius, we get our first real taste of Pluto in Aquarius and a conjunction that hasn’t happened for 225 years.
Here’s a clip from the introduction to my webinar, Pluto in Aquarius: A New Era, giving you your first look at some of the larger societal changes and, more importantly, the major personal shifts that Pluto will begin to usher in this year. What can you expect?
With March nearly done, we’ve navigated major changes in the astrological landscape with Saturn and Pluto recently in new signs. Our focus turns to Mars in Cancer this week. Our actions need to align with our hearts. We need to make home and family a priority.
It’s a new week and time to settle in with all our recent planetary changes. Although overshadowed by Saturn and Pluto switching signs, we’re in new territory with Mars, now in Cancer. We need to prioritize what matters and what nurtures and supports us.
For the first time in two centuries, Pluto arrives in Aquarius, marking a new era. The last time Pluto changed signs was 2008, when it arrived in Capricorn, beginning a 15-year chapter of gut-level transformation on our structures of power.
