Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mercury meets up with Venus in Aries, a meeting that inspires kind words and diplomatic solutions. With Venus Retrograde until April 12, decisions may require us to come up with better solutions or rework a choice from the past in order to move forward.
The Moon is in Taurus today, a Moon that seeks pleasure in the material world. It’s a day for food and creature comforts. With Venus now retrograde, it’s also a day to take stock of what we own, what we value, and what we invest time and money in.
We’re in a new lunar month, one that brings us to our first eclipse next week, a lunar eclipse at 23 Virgo. With Mercury arriving in Aries this week, another page turns in our ongoing eclipse story. Mercury brings an energy of renewal and new beginnings.
Venus prepares to turn retrograde, taking the baton from Mars, which recently completed its retrograde. Like Mars, Venus is a planet that reveals our day-to-day lives. It is a review of what we love, how we connect, and what we invest time and money in.
Venus arrives in Aries, a sign where the planet of negotiation and compromise learns to go after what it wants. This is a Venus of power and desire, of courage and bravery. While not traditionally at home in Aries, Venus uses its charm instead to motivate.
After nearly three months retrograde, Jupiter turns direct at 11 Gemini, a pivot point that directly connects to the North Node newly in Pisces. Do we have faith? Can we open up to a higher level of ourselves? With a square to Saturn, time to put ideas into reality.
We’re getting a big dose of Pisces energy this week as the North Node of the Moon and Neptune merge at 28 Pisces. It’s a week of soul searching as well as opening up to new horizons. Our dreams may be vivid. Jupiter also turns direct at 11 Gemini.
Welcome to Taurus Season. The Sun arrives in the second sign of the zodiac, a sign governed by Venus, which evokes the pleasures of life. It’s a sign to slow down and enjoy, to find our footing, to invest in the things that are important.
Venus arrives in Aries, a sign that inspires new beginnings and acts of courage. If Venus is what we love and value, then we are investing in a restart or refresh. We are taking the lead in a relationship, we are forging ahead, we love competition and play.
Welcome to April! We’re just one week away from a total solar eclipse in Aries, one that will open a new chapter of time. Aries is the sign of renewal. It inspires us to move forward. Nevertheless, life is on the move, in spite of Mercury Retrograde.
Another Libra Moon day. Another day to explore beauty and charm, but to also dig into deeper emotional spaces. With Venus and Jupiter in Aries, we’re focused on themes of stability and security, especially monetary security and creating wealth for ourselves.
Mercury leaves intellectual Aquarius for Pisces, a sign known more for its intuition and creative thinking than its rational analysis. Pisces a space that Mercury isn’t traditionally at home in, instead having to learn to feel instead of think.
