Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
With the Sun in Aries, we’re in the gate for an Aries solar eclipse, a new new moon that kicks off the astrological new year and puts us into the energies of Aries for the next six months — the cycle between each eclipse. Take this energy of action and put it to use.
The Sun and Venus merge, a conjunction that inspires beauty and pleasure as well as the playful flirtations of Venus in Gemini. Go out and spend time with friends, socialize, make connections, and have fun.
Welcome to June. Gemini Season gets a reboot now that Mercury is in Gemini alongside a new moon. Plus, the Sun and Venus square off with Saturn, which may be a reality check or a personal milestone.
We’re not only rounding out the week, we’re beginning to wind down the lunar month. This weekend, the Moon’s in Cancer and we enter the dark of the moon. Time to retreat, rest, reflect, and take stock of the past, reaching into dreams and the unconscious.
The Sun and Venus align in Gemini; we’ve reached the midpoint of Venus Retrograde, a time when we need to reevaluate and reflect on what we value and how we connect to one another. It’s also a time to reconsider relationships, beauty, and our choices.
Happy Aquarius Full Moon! This is the time of the year when the spotlight is on our friendships, our community, and the groups we align ourselves with. Aquarius helps us to zoom out and see things from a wider perspective. It also talks about connection, not on a personal or one-on-one level, but on a societal level.
Although we’re coming up to the Aquarius Full Moon tomorrow, a Moon that’s more focused on social consciousness and community, the Sun and Venus line up in Leo, pointing the way to passion and romance, creativity and beauty.
What aligns with your values and what doesn’t? We’re still sorting through the October 24 full moon in Taurus, a sign that’s all about value. Is it worth it? As we go into the weekend, a Gemini Moon may prompt us to make some decisions about our future.
With four planets in Capricorn, there’s a fair bit of emphasis on all things Capricorn right now — duty, responsibility, boundaries, and the the power of saying no. But it’s Venus in Capricorn that’s teaching us about currency, from our worth to what our worth can buy.
We start the week off on a powerful note as the Libra Moon picks up on the Sun, Venus, and Pluto, all aligned in Capricorn. Negotiation, cooperation, and connection are key. We have to take responsibility and make a change. Pluto’s influence makes it nonnegotiable.
One of the major features of Saturday’s new moon was a line up between the Sun and Venus. Although not exact at the time, the two planets merge today in a sweet pairing that only occurs once a year. Here’s what you need to know.
This new moon is one of the more significant lunations of this year, which tells us that June will be a major month for many people with a stark dose of reality.
