Here Comes the Sun Activating the Saturn-Uranus Square and Mercury Moves into Gemini

 

The Sun in Taurus is poised to activate the predominant astrological aspect of 2021: Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. The old structures are clashing with the new way of life that is on its way.  The pandemic which was ushered in with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn in January 2020 ensured that.  The Saturn-Uranus square occurs three times in 2021: February 17, June 14 and December 24.  But that doesn’t mean its influence can’t be felt throughout the entire year if another planet aspects Saturn and Uranus.  Fasten your seat belts because this week that is going to happen.

On April 30, the Sun in 10 degrees of Taurus is exactly conjunct Uranus in Taurus.  We are going to be feeling restless, rebellious and craving freedom big time.  Change is a major theme of this aspect and we are focused on the future.  It’s not so much of a competitive aspect, but it does make us want to be in control of our own future.  It enhances our intuition and hopefully our sense of empathy for others.  The best possible outcome of this aspect is to use it constructively to help those who are less fortunate. Uranus in Taurus featured predominantly in this week’s Full Moon in Scorpio, inspiring me to tweet on April 27:

We are still under the influence of yesterday’s #FullMoon in Scorpio today with the Scorpio Moon opposing Uranus and Mercury in Taurus. It’s a day to expect the unexpected with this wild card vibe. #astrology

The Sun in 13 degrees of Taurus will be squaring Saturn in 13 degrees of Aquarius on May 3.  We all know that squares are challenging aspects, and this one is no exception.  It will present tests of character, frustration at not being able to achieve our goals on our timetable and can leave us feeling depressed, more emotionally sensitive and pessimistic.  We might feel overwhelmed by our responsibilities.  It could be very tempting to take the easy way out, but don’t do it because the lesson of this transit is to channel our patience, determination and strong work ethic.  Think of it as a lesson in creating a new order. If we cut corners and do a slipshod job of handling these issues, there is a strong likelihood that they will come back at a later time and be even more difficult to deal with. Yes, Saturn is the Great Teacher and tests the hell out of us, but it can also reward us when we get it right.  Hold onto that thought for 2021…  

Mercury is leaving the fixed earth sign of Taurus on May 3 and entering its happy place, Gemini for an extended stay due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde on May 29.  I say that Mercury is in its happy place because Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, so it is eminently comfortable in these signs.  It’s interesting to note that these are both mutable signs.  Gemini is mutable air and Virgo is mutable earth.

When Mercury is in the sign of Gemini until July 11, we will be more communicative, curious and sociable. We are more inclined to seek superficial knowledge about a wide variety of subjects as opposed to focusing on acquiring a deeper perspective on a specific area.  It’s quite literally a time of having a finger in every pot.  We could also find ourselves more easily distracted, however and our ability to follow through on tasks is hampered.  Try to embrace its energy of being open to different experiences and meeting new people.  Mercury will be in Gemini for over two months, so we have plenty of time and opportunities to sample its diversity.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much needed clarity and guidance.  Check out my menu of services at:

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 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!
