Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Virgo Sun makes its annual opposition to Neptune in Pisces, an axis of signs that the Sun and Neptune have been locked in since 2012. Neptune can make us question reality, light up our dreams, and pull us beyond the physical world. Stay grounded.
It’s the last days of Virgo Season, a season to regain focus and practice our craft. It’s one last push with the practical energy of Virgo before we arrive in Libra. The Sun also opposes Neptune and reality may be hazy, the veil thin, our dreams vivid.
Although the Sun opposed Neptune yesterday, we’re still in its hazy energies, ones that blur Virgo’s usual critical eye. Instead, we have to rely on our intuition, finding compassion when things aren’t perfect.
Mars arrives in Libra for a six week stay. Although classically not at home in Libra, this is a Mars that has to learn to compromise and find consensus. Relationships are a big focus over the coming weeks.
Mars arrives in Libra, a sign where the planet of action and self motivation needs to learn to compromise and share. Virgo Season also gets a little hazy as the Sun makes its annual opposition to Neptune in Pisces. Emotions may be running high.
Welcome to the Virgo New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when turn our focus towards health and wellness, from how we take care of our bodies to the foods we eat, the work we do, and the rituals we practice. Virgo helps us to discern and to organize, too.
The Virgo Sun opposes Neptune in Pisces and we’re feeling the pull between our earthly and spiritual lives. How do we find the balance? We may also be feeling ungrounded or sensitive, searching within for meaning. Do we know what’s real or an illusion?
With Mars now retrograde, we need to slow down. Our actions need to be deliberate. We have to examine our instincts, our impulses, and our power. Mercury opposes Chiron today, too, and we also need to understand how our choices impact others.
This week the story starts to change as Mars, the planet of action, drive, and forward movement, turns retrograde on September 9. As with all retrogrades, we can’t quite do things the way we would normally. We have to do our Mars differently.
We start the week off with a Taurus Moon, one that may make a slow start of things. We want to savor and enjoy life in Taurus, a sign that speaks to food, comfort, and our material lives. With Venus in Leo, we’re bringing in a dash of creativity and fun, too.
Happy Pisces Full Moon! This is the time of the lunar calendar when the light shines on all things Pisces — compassion, empathy, understanding, care, spirituality, and forgiveness. As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces reminds us that we’re all connected by an invisible ocean.
We’re on the cusp of a Pisces Full Moon. Emotional and spiritual energies are running high. We’re equal parts sensitive and psychic. We’re also having a hard time staying grounded. Floating above the world, what do we see differently? Where are we able to let go?
