Get ready for another week of planets changing signs and
the first Mercury Retrograde of 2020. The
fun starts on February 16, 2020 when Mars enters the earth sign of Capricorn at
6:33 a.m. Mars remains in Capricorn
until March 30, 2020. Mars is actually
considered to be exalted in the sign of Capricorn, so this can be a very
positive influence in our lives.
When Mars is in Capricorn we tend to be more deliberate,
persistent, stable, reliable and likely to consider future ramifications before
taking action. This is a big change from
Mars in Sagittarius, which is very impulsive and has a tendency to fly off the
handle because it is a fire sign. But
Mars in Capricorn is still capable of being very assertive and accomplishing a
great deal. Mars in Capricorn will be
favorably trining Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus on February 21, 2020 and this
aspect is a real blessing in terms of pursuing our goals as we may be on the receiving
end of some unexpected opportunities. There is a reason that the goat is a
symbol for Capricorn—it is persistent, steadfast and able to climb up that
mountain. Mars in Capricorn is slower to
anger, but it can become frustrated and its shadow side is becoming too rigid.
But we could be facing a wild card vibe with part of this
Mars in Capricorn transit. Mars has been out of bound since February 9, 2020
and will continue to remain out of bounds until March 2, 2020. A planet is considered to be out of bounds when
its declination is more than 23 degrees and 27 minutes north or south of the
sun. The energy of the planet tends to
be a little over the top and out of control.
It has a wilder, more erratic quality. Mars in Capricorn will be
conjunct the south node in 6 degrees of Capricorn on February 25, 2020 and this
could manifest as some power and control issues surfacing in relationships and
existing structures in our lives. Don’t forget
that Capricorn is also associated with government and financial
institutions. Mars is the planet
associated with passion, desire and aggression so there could be some over the
top reactions in the next few weeks.
Mercury stations retrograde in 12 degrees of Pisces at 7:54
p.m. on February 16, 2020 and stations direct in 28 degrees of Aquarius on
March 9, 2020. But we all know that
Mercury entered its retrograde shadow period on February 2, 2020 in 28 degrees
of Aquarius and won’t clear it until March 29, 2020 in 12 degrees of Pisces.
What can we expect when Mercury is retrograde in the water
sign of Pisces? Mercury retrograde in
Pisces can enhance our creativity and spirituality as it infuses us with an
urge to delve deeply into our spiritual lives to achieve a more altered state. It’s a perfect time for music and meditation
as well. But the shadow side of Mercury
retrograde in Pisces is a tendency towards deception and denial in
communications. And then there are the usual
manifestations of Mercury retrograde: delays in communications and
transportation, caution against signing contracts or taking a new job and breakdowns
in electronic devices. Try not to
purchase a car, cell phone or computer when Mercury is retrograde unless your
current one literally dies on you. The best
way of utilizing the energy of Mercury retrograde is to review and do research.
The sun enters the water sign of Pisces on February 18,
2020 at 11:57 p.m. I know that I say it
every year, but I always love the transit of the sun in Pisces. Part of it is because I am a water sign and
it’s nice to know that I will have the sun trining all of my Scorpio and Cancer
planets, but another reason is that the Pisces sun starts in my 5th house
and it seems to give me a creative boost during the winter. The sun in Pisces is a time of idealism,
altruistic feelings, heightened imagination and creativity as well as intense
dreams that provide more intuitive guidance.
And it does make use more compassionate and empathetic towards others. But the shadow side of the sun in Pisces is self-pity,
feelings of victimization and elusiveness.
Don’t let yourself fall into the martyr role when the sun is in Pisces.
The Pisces energy is amplified even more on February 20,
2020 when Jupiter in Capricorn forms a supportive sextile to Neptune in 17
degrees of Pisces. These two planets are
associated with expansion and spirituality, so when they align favorable we
have an opportunity to get in touch with our personal beliefs and our higher
power. It’s an extremely favorable
aspect for creativity, new possibilities and an overall feeling of
interconnectivity. It has a strong theme
of idealist at work for the greater good.
And the good news about this aspect is that we get to reap its benefits
three times this year: it repeats on July 7th in 20 degrees of the
two planets respective signs and on October 12th in 18 degrees.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I have recently revised my menu of services
and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer
you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that
occurred on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you. It’s not too late to purchase this reading
because its effects will be felt for most of 2020. It can be purchased through
my site at:

members and business associates. Additionally, I have also decided to offer
private astrology lessons in person or by telephone. Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com
if you are interested in learning more about astrology.
I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option
of a 30 minute astrology consultation with a one question tarot reading for
only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can
accommodate any budget.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation

contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part
of my spiritual practice.
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. 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.
I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are
in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in
Newton, MA. I use the Celestial Tarot
Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols. A tarot reading is another great option for
obtaining insight and clarity.
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.
For
more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on my site:
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. I am also
offering Reiki treatments at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday
afternoons. Recently I have added online
booking for my Sunday clients on my site.

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:
