Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Moon is in Cancer as we start the week, a Moon that touches on the nostalgic and the familiar. Only a few days after a potent Taurus Full Moon, we may need this Moon to find our anchor, to make sense of recent shifts, to look outward for answers.
We reach the first-quarter moon, an important checkpoint in a story initiated with the new moon a week before. With its powerful opposition between Mars and Pluto, this is a lunar month to make a leap in our evolution. An Aquarius Moon helps to anchor us.
Mars arrives in Leo, a vibe shift for Scorpio Season and a spark of romance and passion that ignite the energies of the Scorpio New Moon. Leo and Scorpio make for a sexy, dynamic duo. They also highlight themes of identity and the truth of who we are.
Welcome to the Scorpio New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when our focus turns towards the impermanence of life. As a water sign, Scorpio marks transitions, whether emotional transitions or the act of leaving one stage for another.
It may be Scorpio Season, but a Scorpio New Moon this week on November 1 is the real kickoff for the season. It’s a dynamic start with Mars in Cancer making an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn. November will demand evolution and transformation.
Another Leo Moon day. Another opportunity to play and create, to share our gifts and talents with the public. It’s a day to have fun, in contrast to this weekend and the Virgo Moon, better suited for cleaning up and cleaning out as well as service to the community.
As we start the week, we reach the end of Libra Season. The Sun is at the last degree of the sign, bringing to a conclusion a season punctuated by a high-intensity solar eclipse. It’s a day of transition and reflection. What have we learned? What has changed?
Pluto turns direct at 29 Capricorn, its final leg in a sign it’s been in since January 2008. It’s the end of an era as well as the transition into something new. A key area of our lives has been irrevocably transformed over the last 16 years. What have we learned?
Jupiter and Pluto change directions, two heavy hitters and that pull at matters of faith and transformation. Emotions are running high, especially a week after a solar eclipse. We’re still feeling ripples. Mercury also arrives in Scorpio; it’s a deep look within.
With last week’s solar eclipse behind us, we’re in a new setting of time, one that takes us into the next six months. It’s still a week of transitions and one that may be marked by events as well as a psychic intensity, especially as we come up to the first-quarter moon.
Big news as both Pluto and Uranus make moves. On September 1 Uranus turns retrograde followed by Pluto’s reentry into Capricorn. As evolutionary planets, Pluto and Uranus speak of transformation and awakening, shifting our consciousness.
Pluto returns to Capricorn for its two-month-long finale, closing out of a chapter that began in 2008. Uranus turns retrograde in Taurus, a demand for new consciousness and realities. Mercury also turns direct and shifts gears for Virgo Season.
