Mars in Pisces is not generally thought of as
the most aggressive placement for Mars (it’s not like it’s in its home signs of
Aries or Scorpio), but it has been pretty busy since it entered the sign of
Pisces on December 19, 2016. It remains
in the sign of Pisces until January 29, 2017.
Mars is the planet of aggression and energy, but when it is in Pisces,
it can have an otherworldly quality and can result in some downright passive
aggressive and addictive behavior if we are not mindful. But Mars in Pisces
will energize our dreams and creativity.
The most productive way to utilize Mars in Pisces is to focus on the
empathy, forgiveness and compassion that accompany it.
On January 11th, Mars in Pisces sextiled Pluto in
Capricorn, inspiring me to tweet on that day:
Mars and Pluto are co-rulers of Scorpio, so the heat was on in terms of generating some healing power. And healing has been a major theme these days, especially with Mars conjunct Chiron in Pisces. This aspect has been pretty active since the recent intense Cancer full moon on January 12th and we will continue to feel its effects for about a week. It will get us in touch with whatever really hurts on a deep, profound level. Take a look at where 21 degrees of Pisces falls in your chart, or contact me for an astrological reading!Mars in Pisces sextiling Pluto in Capricorn today provides us with resilience to deal with whatever obstacles may arise. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 11, 2017
But Mars and Saturn will really get into it on
January 19, 2017 when Mars in Pisces squares Saturn in Sagittarius in 23
degrees of their respective signs. When
Mars is squaring Saturn in an individual chart, there can be difficulty with
self-expression accompanied by feelings of frustration and inhibition. Trust me on this one—I have Saturn in the
first house squaring my Mars in the 4th house in the fixed signs of
Scorpio and Aquarius. Talk about
frustration in terms of wanting to accelerate and move forward (Mars) while
having an external force slam the brakes on you (Saturn). At least this Mars/Saturn square will be in
mutable signs, so that is some consolation in terms of giving us greater
flexibility to adapt to whatever frustrations come our way. Mars and Saturn in a challenging aspect can
indicate a certain amount of defensiveness (I plead guilty as charged on this
count) but with this transit, it might actually be the most productive way of
dealing with it. It is a good time to
strengthen our defenses and be as patient as possible.
But on January 19, 2017 the sun will enter the
sign of Aquarius at 4:24 p.m. Granted, it’s
not the most comfortable sign for the sun to be in because it is more detached
and less emotionally effusive (Leo is its home sign, after all), but it could
prove to be a welcome relief from the structures and conventions associated
with the previous sign of Capricorn.
That detached quality that Aquarius is renowned for may prove to be a powerful
ally in dealing with the inherent frustrations of the Mars/Saturn square. It could indeed be a time when cooler heads
literally prevail. When the sun is in
Aquarius, we crave originality, dare to trek off the beaten path and the need
for freedom is paramount.
We are definitely going to need that sense of
detachment on the following day, January 20, 2017, when the United States of
America inaugurates a new president. The
moon will be in Scorpio that day, sextiling Mercury in Capricorn and trining
Neptune in Pisces. Emotions will run
high and be intense during this day of transition in the power of the United
States government. And Venus in
compassionate Pisces will be sextiling Pluto, which in itself is a
blessing. Hopefully this astrological
combination of sun in Aquarius, moon in Scorpio and Mars, Venus, Neptune and
Chiron in Pisces can help us all keep a cool head and focus on demonstrating
some empathy and kindness towards others during this time of transition.
Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose
coaching training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach. It was an intense, eye-opening experience
that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life. But I left it with feelings of hope and light
for the future that I want to share with others. To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose
Coaching to my menu of services. You can
read more about it at:
As an astrologer, I have decided to include an
interpretation of the north node by sign and house placement as part of my
coaching program. After all, The New
Year, especially a Universal Year 1, is a marvelous time to navigate a new
direction in your life that will fulfill you and your soul’s purpose. If you
are feeling stuck and need some help in getting from Point A to Point B in your
quest for making positive changes in your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if
you are a good fit for this program. I
look forward to hearing from you.
If you are seeking more spiritual insight into your life, please
consider getting an astrological reading. An astrological reading can provide
valuable insight and tools. If you are
not quite ready for a full blown natal interpretation or a solar return forecast,
I also offer a basic astrological reading that will offer insight into your
astrological DNA and the major themes in your life and delving into any
pressing issues, one question astrological readings and composite couple
readings that offer insight into the purpose of a relationship. And I offer
shorter transit readings for three and six months. If you purchase a three or
six month transit reading, I will .even take a peek at the eclipses of February
2017. You can learn more about my menu of astrological services, including the
opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your choice to demonstrate
your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter at:
A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is
a daily part of my spiritual practice.
The north node in Virgo has an underlying theme
of service to others. In that spirit of
pursuing my path as a healer, I am still channeling that Virgo north node
energy by offering my Reiki services. If
you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at
Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove
blockages to healing. It’s a perfect way
to start your weekend off and can also be described as a spa for the soul to
boot! Reiki is the most profound
treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

I have recently joined the
International Center for Reiki Training Membership Association.

For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule
for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing
distance Reiki sessions for them. I have
a conversation with them 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 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. Additionally, I see clients
at my home in Newton, Massachusetts and am generally available on weekends and
evenings for your convenience.
I have also launched a new endeavor that will deliver my services
to you at an affordable cost in the form of package deals. I am offering four options: Silver, Gold, Platinum
and a Tarot special for my tarot clients. Please check it out at:
Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!
