Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Cancer Moon day, a time in the lunar month when we’re urged to connect to the things that nourish. As the first water sign, Cancer is all about emotional basics. Am I safe? Am I loved? Are my roots strong? Who are my family? For this, Cancer can feel like an ache of hunger.
Tomorrow Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money will turn retrograde in Aries, urging us to look more deeply at Venus in our lives. If retrogrades are a time of review, then we’ll be digging into relationship patterns this month and learning what true value is.
Venus, the planet of peace, cooperation, and beauty, moves into Aries today. Truthfully Venus isn’t at home in Aries, a sign where it has to learn to assert itself. It’s also less likely to find common ground, something the world needs right now.
Today Venus will say goodbye to Leo and hello Virgo, the sign of purity, service, and organization. If we’re playing by the old astrology rules, Virgo isn’t exactly the best placement for Venus. The ancients would say she’s in her “fall” (because she’s in the opposing sign she’s exalted in, […]

Here comes the Sun! August is all about Leo, a sign that wouldn’t want it any other way. Leo is the king, the artist, the larger than life presence that is often channeled into performance and drama. While Leo may be a natural for the stage, it’s ultimately a sign […]
Venus is the planet of love, relationships, balance, symmetry, design, and peace. We all have Venus somewhere in our chart and when we known what sign she is in, it reveals what we both attract, value, and how we relate to others. (Don’t know where your Venus is? Check out […]
July is Cancer season, a time when the Sun shines a light on all things home, family, care, and nurturing. Cancer is the ocean, feelings, and security. It’s also a sign that has a strong emotional connection to the past. So it seems fitting, perhaps uncomfortably so, that our swim through the waters of Cancer […]
