Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’re coming off of a Cancer Full Moon, one the put home and family in the spotlight. We may be feeling nostalgic or going back to the past. Cancer can also evoke strong emotions, especially anything around the mother, care, and feeling safe and secure.
Welcome to the Cancer Full Moon, the time when the spotlight is on home, family, and roots. As a cardinal sign, Cancer speaks to some of the most fundamental experiences of life. It gives us a sense of past and memory, an anchor to something deep within.
We get a boost from the Virgo Sun and Jupiter in Taurus, two planets that make for bold, confident, and indulgent pairing. We want to see the world. We want to share our ideas and knowledge as well as our opinions. We want to try everything.
Fresh off yesterday’s Leo New Moon, we’re in a fertile period that wants us to revitalize and renew. Where do we want to bring this new energy into? Ruled by the Sun, Leo is the light that inspires us to shine and to bring new life into our lives.
Welcome to the Leo New Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar when our attention turns to the Sun. Leo is the archetype that brings us back to ourselves, our vitality, and what lights up our lives. It’s the creative spark of the Divine that lives within.
It’s a Leo New Moon, one that kicks off the season in earnest. As a fire sign, Leo inspires us to prioritize our passions and creativity, a vital force that powers our lives. Jupiter also turns retrograde in Aries, touching on themes of faith and commitment.
If Saturn has a tough reputation in astrology, then Jupiter is known for its benevolence. Today’s trine between the Libra Sun and Jupiter in Aquarius may bring new opportunities as well as a stroke of luck.
Welcome to the Capricorn Full Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar when the spotlight is on building for the future, setting goals, and working to achieve them. As the sign of matter and manifestation, Capricorn teaches us that things take time to grow and take shape and become real.
The Sun, newly in Cancer, picks up on a trine to Jupiter in Pisces. It’s a day to open our hearts to others, to find care, forgive the past, and enjoy the bounty of life. Jupiter may bring much needed support and aid.
The Sun, rounding out its time in Taurus, makes a trine to Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn. It’s a day to focus on wealth and resources, assets and power. We have the drive to build more security and stability. As you go into the weekend, tend to your material life.
We go into the weekend on the cusp of planetary shifts. Both Jupiter and Uranus change direction, which means that we may see an area or two of our lives switch gears. That said, Jupiter highlights themes of faith, meaning. Uranus upends the status quo.
Venus in Leo cozies up with Jupiter in Sagittarius. It’s a day to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, its luxuries, as well as its adventures. Venus and Jupiter can bring luck and opportunity. But we’re still feeling restless, a little agitated. Uranus turns retrograde August 11.
