Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars continues its series of squares to a trio of planets in Capricorn — Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn. This week this Mars fire has to negotiate the realities of Capricorn, from rules and boundaries to the need to create balance, especially if something is not working.
We start the week with a Taurus Moon, one that craves stability, security, and the comforts of home, especially with Venus over in Cancer. But the astrology this week is anything but stable. The earth is shifting. We’re awakening to something new.
We’re coming off yesterday’s Aquarius Full Moon energies, a full moon that not only put us in touch with our shared humanity, but potentially shook us or opened our awareness to something new. We may still be feeling the energy today as well.
We start the week with an Aquarius Full Moon, one that illuminates, challenges, awakens, and brings us back to a story that began in March 2019, the month that Uranus entered Taurus. So, things may be shaking.
Welcome to the Aquarius Full Moon, the time in the zodiac calendar when the spotlight is on social connection, friendship, community, and our place in the world. Aquarius is equity and justice, science and technology, systems and networks.
We’re going deeper into Leo Season, a time when the sun shines on personality, self expression, identity, and creativity. This week Mercury in Cancer makes a few tense aspects to Mars in Aries as well as Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn.
Welcome to Leo Season! We step into the sign of the Sun, a sign that wants us to shine brightly, sharing our joy and passion. It’s a season for creativity, fun, and self expression. It’s a season to rediscover who we are and what fuels it.
The Moon’s in Taurus and we begin to slow down after a heavy, intense lunar month. We’re thinking about the future and what it possibly holds. We’re hoping and dreaming for something better while weighing our options and choices.
Mercury meets up with electric, revolutionary Uranus in Taurus. It’s a day for awakenings, breakthroughs, and powerful new insights. Although Taurus has an instinct to preserve, we’re feeling a push to shake things up and leave the past behind.
Mercury arrives in Taurus this week on April 27, a sign that wants us to slow down and enjoy life. In the first few days of this week, it’s not a time to rush forward or make decisions impulsively without weighing our options.
The Moon rounds out its time in Taurus today, fresh off Wednesday’s new moon. It’s still time to plant new seeds, new ideas, and new initiatives, especially around money, food, and resource. This weekend may bring a jolt as the Sun and Uranus align.
We’re in the dark of the moon, a quiet time of reflection and rest before the new moon. It’s the end of a lunar month that began on March 24, which feels like an age ago. What have you started? What have you learned? Tomorrow’s new moon is a catalyst.
