Venus Gets Busy in Aries before it Enters Taurus and Retrograde Mercury Moves Back into Aquarius



Some of us may still be floating or feeling like we’re on a high from the recent new moon in 4 degrees of Pisces on February 23, 2020 but there is about to be a marked shift in energy.  On the day of the new moon I tweeted:
The dreamy, feel good Piscean vibe is waning.  Venus in Aries will be squaring Pluto in Capricorn on February 28, 2020 in 24 degrees of their respective signs.  I have a natal Venus Pluto square and I can tell you from personal experience that this aspect will bring intensity in relationships via obsessive and compulsive behavior.  Any issues that have been hidden or on the disturbing side will surface at this time.

And since Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn are both still within striking distance of each other, this means that Venus in Aries gets to duke it out with Saturn in 28 degrees of Capricorn on March 3, 2020.  This aspect will definitely add to the stress level in relationships as control issues and limitations are triggered.

Venus in Aries will be testing relationships during its last days and if Venus in Aries is transiting either your 5th or 7th house, don’t be surprised if you feel like the need for freedom and independence are being pitted against the need for security and control.  Venus in Aries is very impulsive, so please be mindful of this fact and not make any major relationship decisions if you can help it.

But on March 4, 2020 Venus will depart the sign of Aries and enter the sign of Taurus, where it is truly in one of its happy places.  Venus rules Taurus and Libra, and is exalted in Pisces.  Venus in Taurus should be a much more stabilizing influence on relationships until it hits a curveball when it conjuncts Uranus in 4 degrees of Taurus on March 8, 2020.  This aspect could deliver some surprises to our values and finances as well as our relationships.
Mercury retrograde also slides back into 29 degrees of Aquarius on March 4, 2020.  Mercury will stay in Aquarius until March 16, 2020 but it does station direct on March 9, 2020 in 28 degrees of Aquarius.  Whenever a planet is in 29 degrees of a sign, it is referred to as anaretic because it is a critical point.  The energy of the sign is amplified and triggers are inclined to manifest. With Mercury back in Aquarius, we may be thinking more rationally, but we could also be communicating in a more rebellious manner as we feel extremely restless and crave change.  We may be inclined to push some boundaries.  Issues with friends and group associations could also come up for review with Mercury in Aquarius.

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:

I have also added a new reading to my menu of services, a Clues to Compatibility reading, which is designed primarily for non-romantic relationships and utilizes synastry to determine your connections with friends, family 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 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.

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.  Check it out at:

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:
