Venus Enters Aries and Jupiter Goes Direct in Cancer

 

Okay, we are still standing after last week's Mars-Uranus square which triggered the bombing of Iran, especially with Mars in Aquarius being the first planet to conjunct the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius of February 17  and this week's Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3.  Now we are about to experience the movement of the two greater benefic planets Venus and Jupiter.

On March 6, 2026 Venus departs its sign of exaltation, Pisces and moves into Aries until March 30. Venus is actually considered to be in detriment in Aries (and Scorpio) because it rules Libra and Taurus, so it is not all that comfortable there.  When Venus is in Aries, there is a strong desire for excitement and a marked lack of patience.  It's all about the thrill of the chase, but the spark can fade quickly.  Spontaneity rules and we can be extremely impulsive.  This pertains to love and money. Be mindful of those two areas in life.

On March 7, Venus and Neptune are conjunct in 1 degree of Aries.  This increases our sensitivity and tendency towards daydreaming.  Fantasizing is very common with this aspect.  If you are single and meet someone new they could feel like a soulmate.  Compassion levels are high when Venus and Neptune merge. But there is also risk of disappointment if you have been in denial about the harsh realities of a toxic relationship.

The Sun and retrograde Mercury are conjunct in 17 degrees of Pisces on March 7 too.  Don't be surprised if you hear from some ghosts on that day.  It could be a friend, foe or ex-lover that reaches out to you on that day and there is the potential for something to be clarified now.  Mercury retrograde is notorious for stirring up people from our past and in the mutable water sign of sentimental Pisces, feelings can be intensified.

On March 8, Venus and Saturn are conjunct in 2 degrees of Aries.  This is a testing aspect and poses a harsh reality check.  Distance, separation and an inability to connect on a meaningful level are all possible manifestations.  Relationships as well as finances could be affected.  But if you do meet someone now it could be someone much older or the relationships could have a very karmic undertone.

Jupiter is finally going direct in 15 degrees of Cancer on March 10.  Jupiter has been retrograde since November 11, 2025 when it backtracked in 25 degrees of Cancer.  I have my natal Jupiter in Cancer, as well as my South Node, Midheaven and Uranus, so I have been feeling particularly frustrated in the luck and expansion department.  But this is definitely a day to rejoice because we can feel freer to act on our emotional intelligence.  Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer but when it was retrograde it wasn't operating at full strength.  We could have felt held back emotionally or in matters pertaining to our home lives.  Now we have a cosmic green light to act on projects that nurture our soul.  The planet of luck, faith and optimism is back on track and will continue its transit in Cancer until June 30.  

Both Venus and Jupiter are in cardinal signs now, so we are definitely up for initiating some action.  Hopefully we all will feel a boost of energy to get moving in a positive direction.

Mars Squares Off with Uranus, Moves into Pisces and a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

 

Here we go again.  Mars in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on February 27.  I promise that this is the last of the planets in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus, which has been quite an intense experience for anyone who has planets in the late degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio in 2026.

Mars squaring Uranus is characterized by impatience, frustration, irrational anger and rebellion against restrictive influences. It can be accident prone energy and the potential for violence can't be ruled out.  I have my natal Pluto in 26 degrees of Leo, so Mars is opposing my Pluto and Uranus is squaring it. Good times aren't exactly in the cards.  But Uranus in Taurus is forming a supportive sextile to my natal Uranus in Cancer so I am holding out hope for some positive change.  This is a very volatile vibe, so I am cautioning everyone to be careful on this day.

The month of February began with a Full Moon in Leo on February 1, but it will end on a more harmonious note on February 28 when Mercury (retrograde) and Venus are conjunct in 21 degrees of Pisces.  Communications should be calmer as it will be easier to share love and affection.  This aspect encourages cooperation and diplomacy.  It also fosters creativity and holds the promise of positive financial news.  

Mars moves into Pisces on March 2 and stays there until April 9.  When Mars is in Pisces our motivation shifts to pursuing more spiritual or emotional goals.  Compassion is a driving force and we are less inclined towards confrontation.  This is mutable water energy, so we can be very chameleon like and adaptable.  But there is the shadow side of confusion and passive-aggressive behavior.  There is a certain nebulous quality that can cause confusion, especially with Mercury retrograde in Pisces.

There is a total blood moon Lunar Eclipse in 12 degrees of Virgo on March 3.  This one has major themes of letting go, surrendering, not trying to be perfect and trusting in the process.  It's a tall order to fill.  Logic versus intuition and this eclipse is opposing its ruling planet Mercury in 20 degrees of Pisces, which is also retrograde.  We are going to need to release some old mental patterns but the retrograde status of Mercury indicates that we will undoubtedly experience some confusion.  Trust me, this is a complicated Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and while we can't expect to have everything figured out, there are some guideposts.

Let's break it down.  The Moon in Virgo is conjunct the South Node in 8 degrees of Virgo, further emphasizing the karmic release theme.  We need to let go of being too controlling, perfect, overly critical and to be of service to others to the point that it harms us. That Virgo Moon is also opposing the asteroid Pallas Athena in 12 degrees of Pisces.  So we have the potential for some aggressive behavior which has a way of emerging on Full Moons, there is also the likelihood of acquiring some wisdom.  Pallas Athena is the asteroid known as the warrior goddess, but strategic intelligence. But this Virgo Moon is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Cancer, which encourages self-compassion and is a boost for doing what nurtures our soul. Keep that in mind.

This Lunar Eclipse is squaring my natal Moon in Gemini in my 8th house and forming an exact sextile to my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st house, so I have no doubt that this will be highly charged and emotional eclipse that requires some restructuring in my life.

Saturn and Neptune Are Conjunct in Aries, Venus and Jupiter Party and Mercury Retrograde in Pisces

 

This is it.  Today, on February 20, Saturn and Neptune are finally conjunct in 0 degrees of Aries. Saturn and Neptune are only conjunct every 36 years, so this is a really big deal for the entire world, both collectively and personally. The themes of a Saturn-Neptune conjunction involve testing faith and dissolving structures.

The last time we had a Saturn-Neptune conjunction was in 1989 in Capricorn, which is also a cardinal sign.  In 1989 the Berlin Wall fell, the Cold War ended, the Tiananmen Square protests occurred, Nelson Mandela was released in 1990 and the World Wide Web was invented.

This conjunction is at 0 degrees of Aries, which is extremely rare.  It denotes a whole new beginning and the end of an era.  We are bidding farewell to a collective story.  It's time to reimagine our future, but we need to be responsible about creating it.  Structure and dreams are hooking up.  Saturn is the planet associated with structures, restrictions, delays and responsibilities while Neptune ins the planet of idealism, intuition, imagination and compassion.  They are strange bedfellows, to say the least.  Saturn and Neptune have not been conjunct in Aries since 1702.

What can we expect from this Saturn-Neptune conjunction? There should be major technological advances, especially with AI. We should utilize this energy by becoming more disciplined about our spiritual practices and trust our intuition more.  But we need to be mindful that we will probably experience a crisis of faith.  Aries is a cardinal fire sign, not exactly known for its patience or ability to exercise self-control.  It runs on impulse.  Saturn is considered to be in fall in Aries, so we really need to learn how to bridge the gap from blind leaps to calculated risks.

On February 22, Venus in Pisces is trining Jupiter in 15 degrees of Cancer.  This transit represents a welcome respite from the frenetic pace of February as the two benefic planets, each in their sign of exaltation, have a very friendly meet-up.  Feel free to indulge in whatever  nourishes your soul.  It's also quite favorable for socializing and feeling more optimistic about the future.

The first Mercury retrograde of 2026 commences on February 26 when Mercury stations retrograde in 22 degrees of Pisces.  It remains retrograde until March 20, when it goes direct in 8 degrees of Pisces.  Let's face it, Mercury is not that comfortable in Pisces to begin with since Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini.  Clarity is kind of missing in action in Pisces even when it is direct.  Our thinking and decision-making is less rational because we are relying on intuition and emotions.

So what can we expect when Mercury is retrograde in Pisces?  There will be deep emotional processing, blurred boundaries and creative revisions.  Be prepared for lots of reflection and over idealism in additional to the usual technological glitches, communication and transportation delays.  Try not to make any major decisions if you can help it.  Mercury has been in its retrograde shadow since February 11 and although it goes direct on March 20, it won't fully clear the retrograde shadow until April 9.  The mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius will take the biggest hit from this Mercury retrograde.  I am a Scorpio, but my Moon is in Gemini, so I am definitely in the line of fire on this one...

Saturn Enters Aries, the Sun Squares Uranus, a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and the Sun Moves into Pisces

 

We are headed into one of the most momentous weeks astrologically of the year and the pressure is building.  The first eclipse of 2026 happens on February 17 in the form of a Solar Eclipse in 28 degrees of Aquarius.  Many of us are already feeling its effects in terms of the tension, chaos and restlessness.  But we have more going on before that eclipse.

On February 13, Saturn enters Aries until April 12, 2028.  Saturn was in Aries briefly in 2025 from May 24 through September 1.  Saturn's last transit in Aries occurred from April 7,

1996 through June 9, 1998.  Saturn is somewhat uncomfortable in Aries since the planet is exalted in Libra.  Saturn represents discipline and structure while Aries is associated with rash impulsiveness.  Frankly, I have been alive long enough to survive two transits of Saturn in Libra and I can honestly say that neither time was exactly easy for me.  I do have fond memories of that last transit of Saturn in Aries from 1996 through 1998, however.  Saturn in Aries can be a refreshing change from Saturn in Pisces that had a tendency to disintegrate boundaries and leave us feeling disillusioned.

Saturn in Aries will force us to learn to act with patience.  That is our biggest challenge.  A major theme of this transit is combining the heat of our passions with creating something that lasts.  It will be easier now to initiate although we will undoubtedly be faced with some delays and challenges before we achieve any progress.  That is just the way Saturn rolls. 

On February 20, Saturn and Neptune will be conjunct in 0 degrees of Aries.  This is a historic event because Saturn and Neptune are only conjunct every 36 years and I will cover this more in next week's post.  But it always indicates major cultural and political changes.

On February 16, the Sun in Aquarius will be squaring Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Here we go again with the Aquarius squares to Uranus: we had Mercury squaring Uranus on February 5 and Venus squaring Uranus on February 8.  Watch out for tension, unease about the uncertainty that is swirling around us, and unpredictable behavior.  Major changes and outbursts from others are likely.  Computer and electronic malfunctions are possible too.  There is an increased likelihood of accidents, road rage, angry outbursts and ego conflicts.  Try to remain as flexible as possible, which can be easier said than done because we are dealing with a lot of fixed energy.

The Solar Eclipse in 28 degrees of Aquarius occurs on February 17.  It is a North Node of the Moon eclipse, which is very future oriented.  The last time we had a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius was on February 15, 2018 and it was a South Node eclipse in 27 degrees.  South Node eclipses have a theme of releasing, so you might want to think back what was happening for you back then.  It was not an easy time for me. That eclipse opposed my natal Pluto in Leo in my 11th house and this one will too.

The Solar Eclipse in 28 degrees of Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus.  This square aspect will leave us feeling torn between traditions and defying conventions.  The sign Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, so it really ups the wild card theme.  We will probably be feeling like we are bursting at the seams to break free of old patterns, bad habits and experience a desire to start fresh.  Difficult emotions will surface and we will need to acknowledge that loss is necessary in order to move on to a better future.

Restlessness will be a big part of this eclipse.  This eclipse is also a precursor to the Nodes of the Moon moving into Aquarius and Leo on July 26, 2026.  The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius will tend to accelerate events.  It is a very speedy vibe, especially with its square to Uranus.  The news will probably deliver shocking stories and shaky foundations can collapse.  It is always hard to predict what eclipses will deliver, but with Uranus in the mix, it makes it even more volatile. Hang in there because there is no doubt that big changes are coming down the pike and resistance is futile...

The Chinese New Year also begins on February 17.  It will be the year of the Fire Horse, which is quite appropriate given that Saturn and Neptune will be in Aries and Jupiter will be moving into Leo on June 30.  I don't know that much about Chinese astrology but I am looking forward to it because I was born in a Horse Year, although I am a Wood Horse.  The last time we had a Horse Year was 2014, so you might want to think back to what was going on for you back then.

On February 18, the Sun sails into the mutable water sign of Pisces.  This will be a time of heightened emotions, empathy, creativity and spirituality.  We will also find it easier to express our vulnerability.  The shadow side of the Sun in Pisces is a tendency towards confusion, escapism, victimization and playing the martyr. Just be mindful of that shadow side and it should be a calmer, more enjoyable time.

Mercury and Venus Enter Pisces While Mars and Jupiter Clash

 

How is everyone surviving the month of February so far?  It kicked off with a roaring Full Moon in Leo on February 1. And two days later we had Uranus station direct in Taurus for its final run in Taurus before it enters Gemini on April 25 for the next seven years.  As I have mentioned previously February, although a short month, will pack quite the punch with Saturn moving into Aries, a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries and Mercury retrograde.  The upcoming week will probably be the least astrologically active.

On February 6, Mercury enters Pisces for an extended stay until April 14 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde on February 26.  When Mercury is in Pisces, communication tends to be more dreamy, intuitive and creative but we can be prone to escapist fantasies.  This will be especially true when Mercury is retrograde, which is happening from February 26 through March 20.  Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini, so it is not as focused in the mutable water sign of Pisces. And if you have any personal planets in the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you will experience heightened sensitivity to your environment and more vivid dreams. When I say personal planets, I mean the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus because our identity, emotions, communication, values (including what and whom we love) and action are affected. Our mental processes will be more fluid. Mercury will be conjunct the North Node in 9 degrees of Pisces on February 12, so watch for fated conversations as new information can be revealed that impacts our future.  The North Node represents our soul's destination.

Venus will move into Pisces on February 10 until March 6.  Venus is exalted in Pisces, so it is a very happy camper here.  Unconditional love and soul-centered connections are associated with Venus in Pisces.  Creativity soars and we can feel higher levels of compassion.  Our defenses are dissolved when Venus is in Pisces as our armor comes down. We find it easier to get in touch with our vulnerability, but boundaries can get blurred, so be mindful not to lose yourself.  Don't forget that the shadow side of Pisces can involve being a victim or martyr. We don't want to fall into that trap.

Mars in Aquarius will be forming an irritating inconjunct with Jupiter in 16 degrees of Cancer on February 12.  Inconjuncts always require some kind of adjustment because the two planets are in signs that are definitely not on the same page.  Assertiveness and over-extension are the major themes with these two planets inconjunct. Try to be patient and reflect, even though it will be challenging to do so.  Don't rush into big decisions, take risks or start arguments.  And be mindful not to make promises that you can't keep.  I know that I will be feeling this aspect because my Mars is in 14 degrees of Aquarius and my Midheaven is in 19 degrees of Cancer.  So I will definitely have to practice what I am preaching...

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number 617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:
