Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
The Sun begins to opposes Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn. We’re stepping up into bigger positions of power, authority, and responsibility. Or, we’re navigating titanic forces that are pushing and pulling at our lives and the direction it is taking. Time for reformation.
Sun opposes Saturn today. We’ve got a check-in with the planet of responsibility and accountability. Make sure you’re working hard. It’s a great day to check in with our goals and ambitions. But Saturn is making sure we’re staying focused on what matters.
We start the week off with a Libra Moon, one that turns our attention to relationships, socializing, and negotiation. The Moon also makes its first quarter, which means we’re checking in on our eclipse story today. Pay attention to what’s going on.
Happy Cancer New Moon! Happy solar eclipse! This is the time of the year when we not only welcome in new beginnings in all things Cancer — home, family, emotional connection — but we step into a powerful new chapter courtesy of the solar eclipse.
The Capricorn Full Moon is the time in the lunar calendar when we shine a light on responsibility, maturity, and achievement. Capricorn sets a high bar and pushes us to build something of ourselves.
It may be Cancer Season, but we’re exploring the sign of Capricorn as well. As the complement to Cancer, Capricorn pushes us out of the nest and into the world. And with tomorrow’s Capricorn Full Moon, we’re getting a big push to take the next step in our lives.
The Moon in Sagittarius picks up on an indulgent, romantic connection between Venus and Jupiter. We may be longing for travel or looking at photos of beautiful, faraway lands. It’s also a day to explore, search, and discover different tastes or foods.
As the Sun and Saturn complete their opposition today, we may be feeling the weight of time as well as the responsibilities of life. Saturn helps us to grow older, but it also pushes back when we’ve overstepped the mark or struggled to follow through.
The Moon is in Aquarius, triggering a tense face off between the Sun and Saturn. Life may feel very serious at the moment, making demands for commitment and responsibility. Our faith and ideology may be tested as well. Try to be impartial and see the big picture.
We’re a couple of days past the Sagittarius Full Moon. With its strong aspects to Saturn and Neptune, we may be feeling emotionally heavy. Saturn is the weight of time and responsibility. Neptune, however, is the sacrifice that life sometimes demands from us.
We’re in the midst of something called a “mutable cross,” the planets bunched up in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The mutable signs fall right before the start of a new season; they are inherently about transition, movement.
This week we’re coming up against a boundary, we’re feeling our age, we’re pushing against the odds, we’re reaching for a major milestone or achievement. There’s a sobriety to Saturn that cuts across illusions. It forces the issue. We know what we have to do.
