February may be the shortest month of the year, but it will definitely be one action packed month with a multitude of heavy hitters: Venus moving into Aries, Jupiter is very active with its ongoing opposition to Uranus and its upcoming retrograde and two upcoming eclipses on February 10th and February 26th.
Venus enters Aries on February 3, 2017 and the
fireworks really start. It is joining
Mars, which entered Aries on January 28th, the day after the New
Moon in Aquarius and also on the day of the Lunar New Year, the Year of the
Rooster. Venus in Aries is all about
independence, impatience, impulsiveness and down-right passion and heat. The sweet talking days of Venus in Pisces are
behind us when Venus moves into Aries. Venus in Aries can be quite blunt as a
matter of fact. It challenges us to find our passion and act on it. Venus in Aries is dynamic, excitable and
courageous. In love it thrives on being
pursued. On a financial level, Venus in
Aries is motivated to succeed and when Venus transits Aries, it is prime time
for entrepreneurs to strike while the iron is hot.
Venus is also entering Aries on a first quarter moon in Taurus, which is challenging us to implement new ideas that took root on the new moon in Aquarius of January 27, 2017. The Taurus moon is calling for us to do something practical about bringing about those ideas; it’s quite literally time for the rubber to hit the road.

Venus in Aries represents the conflict that can
arise between the needs of the self vs. the needs of the relationship. It is the classic me vs. we dilemma and
assertiveness will be very strong during the Venus transit of Aries. And guess
what, folks? Venus will be in Aries a
long time in 2017, courtesy of the once every 18 month Venus retrograde. Last year we had a Mars retrograde transit
and this year Venus will do its dance.
Venus will station retrograde on March 4, 2017 in 13 degrees of Aries,
slip back into Pisces on April 4, 2017 and station direct in 27 degrees of
Pisces on April 13, 2017. But then Venus
will be back in Aries from April 29th through June 6th. That gives all of plenty of time to get in
touch with our values about relationships and finances while accessing our
inner passions. Venus in Aries will stir things up, but its foray back into
Pisces may lend a dose of compassion to the mix if we get too out of line with
the assertiveness piece.
Jupiter in Libra has been very busy opposing
Uranus and squaring Pluto in Capricorn recently and this influx of cardinal
energy has generated lots of instability and turmoil. On February 2, 2017 I
tweeted:
Jupiter in Libra is taking a hit today as Aries moon opposes it & Mercury in Capricorn squares it. Emotional overload & excess.#astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) February 2, 2017
But Jupiter will officially end the period of
all the planets direct when it stations retrograde in 23 degrees of Libra on
February 6, 2017. Jupiter retrograde is
a time for deep insights into spiritual matters and finding deeper truths.
Introspection is a requirement for successfully navigating the Jupiter
retrograde cycle (it stations direct in 13 degrees of Libra on June 9, 2017). The caveat with Jupiter retrograde is that if
our goals are unrealistic, we could experience some major loss and
disappointment when Jupiter is direct in Libra from June through September
2017. The lesson of Jupiter retrograde is to take stock of whatever area of
life it touches, aka what house Jupiter transits in your chart. Jupiter is currently transiting my 1st
house conjunct my Neptune but it will slip back into my 12th house on
April 20, 2017. But I can’t think of a
better planet to be transiting my 12th house; I am grateful it is not
Mars, Saturn, Pluto or Uranus transiting my 12th house. Been there, done that, thank you very much
and I am still alive to tell the tale. Jupiter transiting the 12th house
has a really nice spiritually protective influence to it. I had it last year, and it was pretty
sweet. Of course, I am looking forward
to when it conjuncts my ascendant again in late July. There is no denying that Jupiter transiting
the 1st house is a fun transit, albeit with a tendency to pack on the
pounds. It’s probably one reason I went
back to Pilates classes a few months ago.
Mercury in Capricorn has been pretty busy too. On January 31st it squared Uranus in Aries and it will enter the sign of Aquarius on February 7, 2017. Hopefully we will have a little more detachment and a different perspective during Mercury’s transit through Aquarius.
Just keep in mind that the retrograde party is
just beginning. Jupiter in Libra is out
of the gate on February 6th, Venus in Aries stations retrograde on
March 4th, although it entered the shadow period on January 30th,
and many people may already be feeling its effects. If you are already finding yourself
reevaluating the worth of your relationships or your financial situation, you’re
feeling it. If you feel a bit more
reserved than usual, the retrograde shadow is affecting you. Trust me on this one, I have Venus retrograde
in Scorpio natally. In April 2017,
Saturn in Sagittarius, Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn will jump on
the retrograde bandwagon.
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. They are almost here! 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

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 will begin
seeing clients on Sunday afternoons in Coolidge Corner, Brookline for Reiki
treatments on February 5, 2017. I
actually signed the paperwork on the office sublet on January 27th,
the day of the new moon in Aquarius, and when I open for business on February 5th,
Venus will be in Aries in my 6th house. Talk about working that entrepreneurial spirit! You
can learn more about my expanded practice, including the hours and address at:
I was so excited that I tweeted about my new endeavor on February
1st:
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:Very excited about expanding my Reiki practice to Sundays as well as Fridays.
