Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
Mars and Mercury oppose Pluto today, a high stress aspect that demands that we have to change how we act, how we communicate, how we think. Pluto also reveals what we’re not owning. It’s a day to speak up and take our power back.
The Capricorn Moon connects us with the energy of hard work and focus, helping us to set goals and build towards these goals. It’s also a reminder that we’re a month away from a Capricorn lunar eclipse, one that tears down old structures to build new ones.
Today’s Capricorn Moon gets us back to reality. Along with the Taurus Sun, it’s a day to work, focus on goals, and get organized, especially if we’ve been neglecting something. Pluto turns retrograde, too. Are we struggling with themes of power and control?
Mercury moves into Aries and we’re ready to leap ahead. Seeing how Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, we’re making new decisions, heading in new directions, and rushing forward. With Mars in Gemini, it’s a time to explore, travel, and get curious, too.
The Moon’s in Aries and we’re getting ready to take off. However, it’s not quite the new moon, so we’re pacing and preparing, which may make us feel restless or anxious. Use today to tie up loose ends from the past. Tomorrow we fly away.
Another Capricorn Moon day, one that gets serious with us as it approaches Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node of the Moon. Where do we need to be the leader? The adult? There’s something we can’t avoid today. Make sure you do the right thing.
The Moon arrives in Capricorn and it’s the first quarter moon. Not only is it a day to tend to our responsibilities and show accountability, but we may be dealing with an issue that began with the March 20 Libra New Moon. How will you negotiate?
We start the weekend with a Capricorn Moon, one that’s more focused on work and responsibility than relaxing. We’re also coming up to the end of the lunar month, which means that this weekend is a time to pull inward and prepare for the next cycle.
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.
The Moon’s in Virgo, a day to get organized and tend to the rhythm of our daily lives. We’re also feeling some pressure from Saturn as well, a planet that amps up Virgo’s need for perfection. It’s time for duty, tough choices, and practical action.
What’s in your shadow? What do you not want to look at about yourself? Pluto is the planet that holds the mirror, unflinchingly so. We may not like what we see, but it’s imperative for our evolution. Today, Pluto turns retrograde and we’re before the mirror yet again.
