Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Big Mars energies in the sky this week in advance of an Aries Full Moon on October 17. With the Sun also square Mars, it’s a day to create new initiatives, to find our power, to reach towards our goals and ambitions. We may also feel rushed and impatient.
Welcome to Capricorn Season. The Sun arrives in the 10th sign of the zodiac, kicking off the winter solstice for those of us here in the northern hemisphere (summer for those in the southern). It’s the return of the light on the darkest night of the year.
An Aries Moon gives the last day of Sagittarius Season a spark of fire. It’s an opening for creativity, celebration, and play, especially as we navigate the holidays and end of the year. We’re also motivated to take the lead and be an advocate for what we believe in.
Venus in Scorpio makes a dramatic opposition to Uranus in Taurus, an aspect that may provide a few unexpected twists and turns this eclipse season. We may be confronted by a relationship or a connection. Something may push us to see things differently.
Welcome to November! Mars is now retrograde, which means it’s a new direction for Scorpio Season. With big connections to the South Node, this may be a poignant week, one with reflections of loss and endings that prepare for something new.
Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus. A story of change and reinvention comes to a head. Are we safe? Can we open up? Can we face our inner saboteur? Have the courage to take action.
We start the week off with a Pisces Full Moon! One that brings us to the liminal spaces of our lives. We may need to let go in order to move forward, forgive in order to heal. We’re also saying goodbye to Virgo Season as the Sun arrives in Libra on September 22.
Venus in Scorpio squares Saturn in Aquarius. Relationships are at a turning point. We have to make a decision or a commitment. We’re also checking in with a major astrological story — Saturn square Uranus.
Happy Aries Full Moon. This is the time in the zodiac calendar when we have to take action. Ruled by the planet Mars, Aries is all about the courage and drive needed to make a change, start fresh, set off in a new direction, or even go it alone.
A Pisces Moon takes us into the weekend, one that again feels both busy and dreamy. We’re also coming up to an Aries Full Moon, a moon that can motivate us to take action and find courage, but have us running around and put out proverbial fires.
Venus reaches the end of Libra, facing off with Uranus as it does. A relationship must change and evolve; it must be honest and authentic. That or it has to end. Be open to breakthroughs, especially with a relationship story that has been unfolding since September.
Happy Scorpio New Moon! This is the time in the lunar calendar when we turn our attention to death and rebirth. If there is a place for everything within the zodiac, then Scorpio is the sign that takes us through our fears, our shadow, our psyche.
