Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
A Sagittarius New Moon brings us into a busy December filled with new horizons and new ideas. That said, we’re meeting up with the energies of Saturn this week. We need to make a commitment. Mars also turns retrograde in Leo and Neptune direct in Pisces.
Fresh off the Sagittarius New Moon and its energies of renewal, we step into a new week as well as a new month. Sagittarius is a fire sign, an element that motivates and inspires. As the archer, we’re preparing our arrows to reach their targets.
Welcome to the Sagittarius New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to a sign whose role is to make our world bigger. As a result, we’re looking towards the heavens, we’re contemplating life, we’re seeking answers, we’re finding faith.
We’re in the run up to a Sagittarius New Moon, one that will bring new ideas, new horizons, new points of view. In the meantime, Mercury turns retrograde, a reminder that as we turn ahead we need to review the past, including our past decisions and choices.
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.
Welcome to the Taurus Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on our material lives, from the basic essentials as well as property and assets to larger themes about value and worth. It’s also the earth beneath our feet and the pleasure of living.
Saturn is about to turn direct in Pisces, a page in a story that has been unfolding since March 2023. If astrology is about time and how we symbolically live time, then Saturn is the master hand on the cosmic clock. It is pointing to the hour of our lives.
The Moon moves from Pisces to Aries and Scorpio Season gets another dose of element fire alongside Mars in Leo. It’s a day for creativity, but also a day to turn our visions into reality, to create a plan, to get to work. Health and wellness are a focus, too.
Venus arrives in Capricorn, just in time for a Taurus Full Moon on November 15. Capricorn and Taurus are earth signs, signs that speak to our real lives. Along with Saturn turning direct, it’s a week of commitments, milestones, and even awakenings.
Venus arrives in Capricorn, a sign where the planet of love and money likes to build and strategize for the future, whether through solid, long-standing partnerships, or through financial investments and assets. It also brings a recent solar eclipse into sharp focus.
The Moon travels between Capricorn and Aquarius, two Saturn-ruled signs. We continue Saturn’s themes of structure and order, responsibility and duty. We’re also coming up to the first-quarter moon after a powerful Scorpio New Moon. The page turns again.
The Moon is doing most of the talking this week, turning the page on the recent Scorpio New Moon and crossing from the sign of Sagittarius to Capricorn today. A Moon in Capricorn is focused and precise. It is a builder and asks us to turn our plans into reality.
