Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
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.
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.
It’s the dark of the moon, the time in the lunar cycle to go within, to rest, to consult our inner oracle. On the cusp of Halloween, the spirit world is close. It’s a day to light a candle and reflect on our departed loved ones, but also connect to our highest guidance.
The Virgo Sun gets support from Uranus in Taurus, a trine that gives us a positive opportunity to reinvent, to see things from a new perspective. It may require changing some long held beliefs, especially if those beliefs are stopping our growth and evolution.
Big news as both Pluto and Uranus make moves. On September 1 Uranus turns retrograde followed by Pluto’s reentry into Capricorn. As evolutionary planets, Pluto and Uranus speak of transformation and awakening, shifting our consciousness.
A curious and restless Gemini Moon starts off our week, activating Mars and Jupiter, also in Gemini. With the energies of the Virgo Sun, we’ve got things to do, responsibilities to manage, and duties to perform. There’s a push to get organized.
Venus in Leo makes an electric square to Uranus in Taurus, an aspect that may shake up the status quo or shift a relationship. If Venus is what we love and value, Uranus is a point of friction, a demand to evolve and transform by any means possible.
We’re winding down the lunar month this week, a lunar month that brought plot twists throughout July. Time to reflect and integrate our experiences and also prepare for a Leo New Moon on August 4, one that puts the energies of Leo on the center stage.
Mars joins up with Uranus in Taurus, a powerful spark sends ripples into our week. It’s a shake up of the status quo, a push to reinvent. We reach a Capricorn Full Moon, too, a spotlight is on responsibility and commitment. Mars also arrives in Gemini.
Mars reaches Uranus in Taurus, a high powered aspect that has been building all week. This is an energy that can bring the unexpected as equally as it pushes us to reinvent and take a new path. This is our moment to break free and leave the past behind.
Mercury, wrapping up its time in Taurus, makes an electrifying connection to Uranus. It may be a day, if not a week of powerful new insights, breaks from the past, and conversations that illuminate or unsettle.
