Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mars, back in Leo, makes its final powerhouse opposition with Pluto, which means it’s a week for transformation, to face ourselves. Venus also meets up with Saturn in Pisces and the Lunar Nodes, a crossroads for relationships. Plus, a Taurus New Moon.
Welcome to the Libra Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on relationships and connection, negotiation and compromise, art and beauty. Although not an eclipse, it follows an Aries solar eclipse. New beginnings need cooperation from others.
Venus, in the last stretch of its retrograde, meets up with the North Node in Pisces today, a rendezvous that speaks to fated encounters, new love, or an opportunity to find compassion and forgiveness. With Saturn nearby, commitment is on the agenda.
Venus Retrograde returns to Pisces, a revisit of themes and experiences from January. We move from element fire to water. Relationships need a second look as well. It’s a reevaluation of compassion and commitment, responsibility and understanding.
Big news this week. We reach our second eclipse of the season, an Aries New Moon solar eclipse that sets the stage for the next six months. Eclipses mark new chapters and directions and Aries is a reboot. Neptune, after 13 years in Pisces, also arrives in Aries.
A Pisces Moon takes us into the weekend, one that pulls us towards Venus in Pisces and its rendezvous with both Neptune and the North Node. How do we open our hearts? How do we reach for the people and the experiences that fulfill our spirits and our souls?
Venus in Pisces meets up with Saturn this weekend, a conjunction that spells commitment. If Venus is what we love and what we value as well as a planet of relationships, then Saturn is time, boundaries, and maturity. We have to think about the future.
While yesterday’s Cancer Full Moon may still be touching on emotional and psychic points within as well as around, the Moon has moved onto Leo. We reach a point in the sky activated by a recent Mars-Pluto opposition. It’s a day for inner reflection.
With the Moon in Taurus today, we can turn our attention to the beauty and glamor of Venus in Pisces. If Taurus is a space of earthly pleasure for the Moon, Venus in Pisces reminds us of more ethereal pleasures, that there is space for magic in the day-to-day.
Venus arrives in Pisces, the sign of its exaltation and a sign where it does its best work. The next four weeks are an invitation to find beauty and glamor, to open our hearts to unconditional love, to invest in the connections that enrich us — body, mind, and soul.
Welcome to 2025! A Capricorn New Moon brings us into the new year, a new moon to make new foundations with, ones that fulfill and support. Mars Retrograde also makes an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, a second in a series of evolutionary pushes.
Here we are, our first eclipse, a lunar eclipse in Libra at 5 degrees. Time bends and shifts as a result. Relationships are in the spotlight. There’s a need to look at the past, especially past patterns. With Venus in Pisces, how do we let go, forgive, heal?
