Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Coming off yesterday’s Aquarius Full Moon, there’s a lot to unpack in the sky, namely a square between Jupiter and Saturn, two giants in the sky that build our world around us. We’re weighing big choices. We’re navigating ethics, faith, and commitment.
Welcome to the Libra New Moon. This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention towards relationship. It’s a solar eclipse, too, which makes for powerful new beginnings. Over the coming months, we’re prioritizing connection, harmony, balance.
Pluto turns direct in Capricorn, one of the planet’s final turns in a sign it has occupied since 2008. It’s one final push to restructure before Pluto leaves in 2024. It may also be a day if not a week of revelations. Something previously hidden may come to light.
Powerful week as we arrive at a Libra Solar Eclipse, one that pivots us into a new chapter and draws upon the transformative energy of Pluto Direct and Mars newly in Scorpio. Doors are opening and closing. Relationships are in the spotlight. Emotions are raw.
Venus opposes Saturn, an aspect that puts relationships to the test. Do they have what it takes to go the distance? Are they equitable and balanced? If a connection is not working, we may have to rethink it.
Eclipse season comes to a close and now the real work begins. Between the Cancer New Moon, which showed is that we need more connection in our lives and yesterday’s powerhouse lunar eclipse, we’re continuing to tear down walls and open up blocks.
The Libra Moon continues to put an emphasis on relationships, but with today’s face off between Venus and Saturn, we’ve got a decision to make about a connection. Saturn says, does this connection have what it takes to go the distance? Does it have commitment?
This new moon is one of the more significant lunations of this year, which tells us that June will be a major month for many people with a stark dose of reality.
We’re in the midst of something called a “mutable cross,” the planets bunched up in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The mutable signs fall right before the start of a new season; they are inherently about transition, movement.
