Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Whew! Yesterday’s Aries Full Moon was a doozy. It pressed buttons and hit on some touchy subject matter. In the end, the full moon pushed us to say “no” to something. Maybe it was a relationship or a level of behavior that had long since worn out its welcome.
We may be in Libra season, a time when we connect with the beauty and sweetness of life, but there’s been a chill in the air, a deeper undercurrent pulling at us. With Venus in Scorpio, Libra season has taken us through darker themes of power, sexuality, and shame.
Happy Libra New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn toward creating harmony and beauty in our lives. Libra is the sign of relationships, too, as well as cooperation and consensus.
Things took a bit of a left turn. We may only be a day into Libra season, but Venus, the ruler of Libra, just went into Scorpio. Honestly, the two signs couldn’t be more different. If Venus in Libra has a natural charm, then Venus in Scorpio is direct and raw.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Neptune and the energy of redemption lately. Whenever we encounter the energy of the outer planets there’s an act of surrender that has to happen. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto govern forces outside of the personal. We can’t do ego with the outer planets. So, […]
Later this evening Venus will arrive in Scorpio, spending the next four weeks in the sign of death, rebirth, intimacy, power, and wealth. Scorpio isn’t an easy sign for Venus and in the classical rules she’s in her “detriment,” which is just another way of saying that she has to […]
Happy Taurus Full Moon! This is the time of the year when we shine a light on all things earthy and sensual as well as themes of fertility, pleasure, the body, food, resources, real estate, income, stability, security, loyalty. Taurus is the safety of solid ground to Scorpio’s leap into […]
