Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Last day of Pluto in Capricorn. At least for now. We’re wrapping up a 16-year cycle. We’re on preparing to examine, deconstruct, and transmute something new. Thus is the work of Pluto, the necessity of holding the mirror to ourselves, individually and collectively.
Welcome to the Capricorn New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we feel the passage of time and the pressure to build and construct our lives. Capricorn is the sign of maturity and responsibility. It invites us to make decisions for the future.
Pluto turns direct in Capricorn, one of the planet’s final turns in a sign it has occupied since 2008. It’s one final push to restructure before Pluto leaves in 2024. It may also be a day if not a week of revelations. Something previously hidden may come to light.
Powerful week as we arrive at a Libra Solar Eclipse, one that pivots us into a new chapter and draws upon the transformative energy of Pluto Direct and Mars newly in Scorpio. Doors are opening and closing. Relationships are in the spotlight. Emotions are raw.
The Virgo Sun makes a supportive trine to Pluto in Capricorn today, a powerful dynamic to put into anything that needs transformation. Seeing how both Virgo and Capricorn are earth signs, this is an energy to make a physical transformation.
If the recent Cancer New Moon pulled us back to themes around home and family, memory and roots, today’s opposition between the Sun and Pluto is a demand to reform, transform, and leave the past behind.
Welcome to the Cancer New Moon. It’s the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to home and family, roots and foundation. Cancer activates our most primal needs, which is to be cared for by others.
It’s a structural point for the year as Pluto returns Capricorn and Saturn turns retrograde in Pisces. We’re building as well as breaking down the past and opening our hearts. We also wrap up a lunar month, which brings us to a Gemini New Moon on June 18.
We start the week with a couple of big shifts in the astrology as of yesterday, Mercury is now in Gemini and, more importantly, Pluto is back in Capricorn. Gemini Season pulls us forward, quickly so, but we have to revisit a story that began in 2008.
A Pisces Moon takes us into the weekend, one that both wants to go with the flow but also hammer out the details. We’ve also got two big planetary shifts over the next two days, a reminder to feel into Pisces’s liminal space and prepare for something new.
Another Moon in Capricorn day, one that points us towards Saturn in Pisces. As much as Saturn and Capricorn are about hard work and ambition, Pisces’s influence means that whatever we’re working towards, whatever we’re building, has to feed our soul as well as our soul’s ambitions.
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.
