Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
We’ve still got five planets in Capricorn this week, which means we’re feeling the pressure (perhaps even a crush) of time and responsibility. Add to that the Capricorn Sun and its meetup with Saturn and Pluto. It’s a day of power and transformation.
Happy Libra Full Moon! This is the second time this year we’ve had a Libra Full Moon, the first on March 20. Although not common to have two new or full moons in the same sign, they form a pair as well as two parts to the same story.
The Moon meets up with Jupiter in Sagittarius and it’s all about faith, truth, and wisdom. Do we have faith? Do we have the truth or the wisdom to know truth from fiction? The Moon also picks up on Jupiter’s square to Neptune. We’re searching for miracles.
Happy love day. With Venus in Pisces, may our hearts be open to the shimmering, redemptive force of love in all its forms. Pisces teaches us that miracles can happen. But Saturn is in realer-than-real Capricorn; we can’t sidestep reality. Find the balance.
Venus arrives at the end of Aquarius, threading its way through eclipse degrees. Even though we’re a week away from the solar eclipse, the past couple of days gave a preview. Venus asks, do you value who you are? Do you value your place in the world?
Welcome to Aquarius Season! We’re approaching the end of the astrological year and when we reach Aquarius, we’re seeing life through the lens of community, connection, and humanity. It’s a big picture sign, a sign that helps us dream of something better.
Yesterday may have been the Taurus new moon and the start of the lunar month, but we’re on the threshold today. Venus, the ruling planet of the Taurus, is at the last degree of Pisces. Something has to end before we can begin something new.
Happy Taurus New Moon! This is the time in the zodiac calendar when we turn our attention to the earth, from the soil that nourishes life to the world in bloom. If Aries is the spark, then Taurus is the container for that spark to grow.
Venus, coming to the last leg of its retrograde journey, dipped into Pisces, a sign that it’s much more comfortable in than Aries. In Pisces, Venus marries charm and with Pisces’s sensitivity and magnetism. But Venus is retrograde. Everything has to be revalued.
I’ve been thinking of a lot of things lately as humanity navigates turbulent times. Maybe it’s four planets in Pisces and Jupiter in Libra, but I’ve been reflecting on the power of art and music to connect. Because fear and hatred only serve to disconnect.
Today’s Moon in Libra connects us to Venus’s ongoing swim through the sign of Pisces. If Libra teaches us about beauty, harmony, and the needs of others, then Venus in Pisces — with a dash of Neptune — is a mystical, alluring placement for the planet of love.
Even though the Cancer Full Moon was yesterday, we’ll be feeling its emotionally charged energy reverberate over the next day or so. Am I safe? Am I loved? Who are my family? Who is going to be a part of the most important, intimate moments of my life?
