A Full Snow Moon in Virgo and Mars Enters Gemini

 



The month of February has been action-packed and although it is the shortest month of the year, it is by no means a slouch when it comes to astrological activity. We had a Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, a pile-up of six planets in Aquarius on the New Moon on the 11th, and the month will end with a Full Moon in 8 degrees of Virgo on February 27.  This Full Moon is sometimes referred to as the Snow Moon because February traditionally sees a lot of snow.  I’m sure that the state of Texas will not dispute that fact this year.

Full Moons are all about closure, completion and resolution.  I have no doubt that we could see some major secrets revealed at this Full Moon.  We had a New Moon in 25 degrees of Virgo on September 17, 2020.  Think back to what was happening in your life back then; if you started a new project then, you might be reaping the fruits of your labors. The themes associated with a Virgo moon involve health, jobs, discernment. Perfectionism, and our daily routines.  The pandemic has certainly wreaked havoc on our health, economy and the way we conduct our lives.

The Sun in Pisces is naturally opposing that Full Moon and that brings a certain amount of pain to the table.  Pisces is a sensitive water sign and with the Sun there opposing the Moon in Virgo, we might find ourselves in the process of dissolving some very painful experiences that were highly upsetting. Who among us in America was not moved this past week by the grim milestone of 500,000 deaths from COVID-19?  But we also need to remember that since Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac it can indicate a time to release those painful experiences.

Healing is a major theme of this Full Moon because the Moon is inconjunct Chiron in 7 degrees of Aries.  Inconjuncts are those irritating, uncomfortable aspects (one sign away from being an opposition at 150 degrees) that require us to make some adjustments for the two planets to coexist.  Our emotional expectations could very well need an overhaul for healing to occur.  We also have the Full Moon inconjunct Saturn in 7 degrees of Aquarius which requires us to be cautious as part of the adjustment process. There are two other inconjuncts to Mercury in 12 degrees of Aquarius and Jupiter in 16 degrees of Aquarius, which involve communication and expansion.  The Virgo Moon also opposes Neptune in 20 degrees of Pisces, so there needs to be some balance in our expectations.  But the best part of this Full Moon is that it forms a flowing, beneficial trine to Uranus in 7 degrees in Taurus and this can restore a sense of harmony to our lives.  We’ll take it.

On March 3 Mars moves from the fixed earth sign of Taurus to the mutable air sign of Gemini, where it stays until April 23, 2021.  Mars spent six months in Aries in 2020 and for the first six days of 2021 due to a retrograde.  Mars in Aries was not exactly friendly to Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn in 2020 with all of those squares, but on February 24th, it did redeem itself with a trine to Pluto in 25 degrees of Capricorn.  On that day I tweeted:

What can we expect when Mars is transiting the sign of Gemini?  Mars in Gemini is more flexible than Mars in Taurus, which could be down-right stubborn.  We are motivated to find new ideas and explore more diverse options.  The shadow side of Mars in Gemini is that it is more challenging to stay on track and we are likely to be less focused and more scattered.  But the brain is very appealing and sexy during the time Mars cruises through Gemini.  A mental connection could be more important than a fleeting physical attraction. And in terms of motivation, Mars in Gemini will be conjuncting the North Node in 13 degrees of Gemini on March 27, 2021 and this should serve as an adrenaline jolt of energy to achieve our collective goals that benefit the greater good for all.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice in order to practice social distancing. I recently learned that I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. When it becomes clearer that the virus no longer poses a threat, I will find a new space to practice. In the meantime, 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 for payment.  I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when going outside your home and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine when you are eligible. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
