Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Taurus Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on our material lives, from the basic essentials as well as property and assets to larger themes about value and worth. It’s also the earth beneath our feet and the pleasure of living.
Venus arrives in Capricorn, a sign where the planet of love and money likes to build and strategize for the future, whether through solid, long-standing partnerships, or through financial investments and assets. It also brings a recent solar eclipse into sharp focus.
Venus in Cancer makes a square to the Lunar Nodes, a turning point for relationships as well as a ripple of eclipse energy. It’s a reminder that we’re not so far away from a solar eclipse in April as well as a solar eclipse to come in early October.
Saturn turns retrograde and it’s a week of personal milestones, achievements, and restructuring. As one of the main drivers of time in astrology, Saturn helps life to take shape and form. We’re building a story that began in 2023, when Saturn first entered Pisces.
The Moon continues to drive our experiences this week, focusing our attention on Libra as well as Venus in Capricorn. We may be in Aquarius Season, but the Moon threads our experiences through different signs and energies. Relationships are a priority.
The Moon arrives into Libra, a sign that not only highlights relationships over the next couple of days, but themes of justice, equity, and fairness as well. With Venus in Capricorn, however, we’re looking for a deeper connection, a connection built on commitment.
Although a relatively quiet week with the aspects, we step into a week with Mars squares the Nodes. It’s a preview of the March-April eclipses. We’re also inspired to take action, build new futures. Plus, a jolt of Uranus Direct wakes us up with the unexpected.
Venus, newly in Leo, meets up with the Lunar Nodes, squaring off an axis of energy that has been known to activate the energy of fate and destiny. As a result, relationships may be at a crossroads. People may be coming in and out of our lives. It’s a pivot point.
Venus arrives in Leo for a four month stay, an extended look at our relationship with creativity, passion, and romance. Mercury finally arrives home to Gemini, a buzzy renewal for the season. And Pluto returns to Capricorn to begin to wrap up old business.
Venus in Aquarius squares off with the Lunar Nodes, a point that can act like an eclipse. People may be coming in and out of our lives this week. Relationships are at a crossroads. There may be a quick change in direction, building on earlier shifts.
Mercury changes signs, arriving in Libra and giving us a change in focus for the rest of Virgo Season. As the ruler of Virgo, Mercury turns our attention to relationships and connection. It’s also a time to gather resources, share what we have, and prioritize beauty.
Welcome to Virgo Season! We’re getting focused on the details of life, especially with this week’s Virgo New Moon, which gives us a reset. Uranus also turns retrograde at 18, a powerful marker in an ongoing story that began in May 2018, March 2019.
