Mercury Goes Direct and Venus Moves into Pisces



This has been another intense week astrologically, especially with the first of the three Saturn-Uranus squares on February 17 that will define 2021.  On that day I tweeted:

We aren’t out of the woods yet, so to speak.  On February 19, Venus in 22 degrees of Aquarius is exactly squaring 22 degrees of Taurus.  This is an epic fight in fixed signs as the tension between receptive and assertive aspects of our nature is heightened.  Nothing is going to get resolved with neither planet wanting to be told what to do.  Sex drives may be more urgent, but if there are existing relationship difficulties, they could get worse.  Be prepared for anger, lack of self-control and impulsiveness. 

But relief is on the way.  Mercury is stationing direct in 11 degrees of Aquarius on February 20, 2021 after having been retrograde since January 30, 2021.  This is a welcome relief from our communication and transportation woes, but be aware that when a planet is stationing, its power is heightened, so things could seem a little more chaotic for a couple of days.  I know that it will be somewhat crazy for me because the station is 3 degrees away from my natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house.  The Moon is in Gemini on the 20th, and it trines Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter in Aquarius, which should be a big help for clearing up misunderstandings, setting boundaries and feeling more generous towards. The good news is that we will soon feel more comfortable in our communications and making decisions that could involve signing contracts.  Mercury doesn’t leave its retrograde shadow until March 13 in 26 degrees of Aquarius, but we should experience some improvements within the next week.

Many of my clients and friends have been telling me that they are lacking motivation these days.  That is no wonder between the weather and the pandemic.  I am happy to report that there is some good news on that front too.  We should start to get our mojo back on February 25 when Mars in Taurus is trining Pluto in Capricorn in 25 degrees of their respective signs.  This is a real shot of adrenaline energy for positive transformation and empowerment.  So prepare to feel motivated.  It’s a good thing when heavy hitters Mars and Pluto are playing nice in the sandbox, fueling us with that practical earth energy to help us accomplish our goals and make the necessary changes.

The best news of the week happens on February 25 when Venus enters the mutable water sign of Pisces and it stays there until March 21.  Venus is exalted in Pisces and is in its happy place.  When Venus is in Pisces, it’s dreamy and romantic.  Unconditional and spiritual love are riding high. It’s perfect for falling in love, but not so much for making a commitment because we are too idealistic about our partners.  Don’t forget that the shadow side of Venus in Pisces is its tendency to overlook flaws in others.   But it can be a very mellow, enjoyable ride so enjoy it while it lasts.  It represents yet another planet (following the Sun, who moved into Pisces on February 18) who is leaving the pileup of planets in Aquarius.  We still have Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter in that fixed air sign, but having a couple of planets in Pisces lightens the atmosphere.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading.

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.

Additionally, I am available for tarot readings by telephone.  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. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50 which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

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.  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!
