A Full Moon in Cancer during Mercury Retrograde, Uranus Stations Direct, the True Nodes of the Moon Move into Taurus and Scorpio and the Sun Enters Aquarius




If you thought last week was too slow, brace yourself because there is a whole lot of astrological action coming up in this next week.  We did have a delightful Sun-Venus conjunction in Capricorn though on January 8 when I tweeted:

Mercury stations retrograde in 10 degrees of Aquarius on January 14 and stations direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn on February 3.  Mercury remains in Capricorn until February 14, 2022.   Mercury retrograde brings its own assortment of travel and communication related snafus to the table amidst a world-wide pandemic to boot. So we definitely have to worry about confusing information being disseminated about the virus during this time.

On January 17, we have a Full Moon in 27 degrees of Cancer.  There are strong themes of power and transformation associated with it because it opposes Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn.  The Sun in Capricorn is exactly conjunct Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn on January 16, which is sure to bring some power struggles and clashes with authority.  On February 20, 2022 the United States will be experiencing the first hit of its Pluto Return in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  It’s no secret that the United States is going through massive changes and challenges to its structure.  The Full Moon is in its own sign of Cancer which further amplifies the emotional intensity.  I wouldn’t rule out some angry outbursts with the Full Moon also forming an irritating inconjunct with Mars in 24 degrees of Sagittarius.  This aspect demands some kind of adjustment or compromise to be made in order to maintain a peaceful co-existence in this world. I am personally quite concerned about this Full Moon because it is exactly conjunct my natal retrograde Uranus in Cancer and also conjunct my natal Jupiter in 29 degrees of Cancer.  My Jupiter and Uranus are in my 10th house, so I sense that this will play out in a very public way with my work and home life.  This Full Moon also opposes my natal Chiron in Capricorn and squares my natal Neptune in Libra in my 1st house.

On January 18, Uranus stations direct in 10 degrees of Taurus.  Uranus has been napping since August 15, 2021 so we can expect that radical changes will manifest quite swiftly.  A lot of the internal strife will start to play out as our inner awakenings start to take on outer forms.  And we all know that when a planet is stationary it only increases the strength of the planet’s nature.  Uranus is known as the Great Awakener, so we can expect some massive changes to happen.  Uranus also loves to create disruptions, so hang tight…

The True Nodes of the Moon are changing signs on January 18 as well.  For the past 18 months the North Node has been in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius.  The North Node represents our collective destiny and our soul’s path and it will move into Taurus while the South Node will move into Scorpio.  The South Node of the Moon represents our karma and baggage that we need to release and integrate with the North Node in order to move forward.  The North Node in Taurus calls for us to embrace a more steady and grounded quality in life while we crave stability and structure.  We will need to make peace with what has happened with the knowledge that we can’t go back to the way things were.  It’s a time to be more deliberate and evaluate our self-worth.  A North Node in Taurus is also a perfect setting for focusing on the earth and paying attention to climate change.  The South Node in Scorpio is asking us to release the past and our grudges.  Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs which don’t embrace change easily, but they have enormous reserves of power and strength to tap into.  Yes, the signs of Taurus and Scorpio are in the hot seat and will feel the effects of this nodal transit until July 2023, but the fixed signs of Leo and Aquarius will have their challenges too. 

All of the eclipses in 2022 will be in Taurus and Scorpio.  The first one is the Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Taurus on April 30 but we got a preview of this back on November 19, 2021 with the Lunar Eclipse in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Like it or not, we have some major changes coming and the sooner that all of us can accept that fact, the easier it will be to navigate the future.

On January 19, the Sun moves into the fixed air sign of Aquarius.  This is a marked change from the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn.  When the Sun is in Aquarius, we are focused on attaining knowledge, new experiences and originality.  We want to be unique and innovative as we seek freedom.  It’s also a time to let your inner freak flag fly. Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus and Uranus is now direct, so we can be confident in implementing those changes we want to see in the coming year.

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. I have recently added a new offering to my astrological services menu.  As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were 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. But 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 and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. 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 necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. The Omicron strain of the virus is spreading like wildfire these days.  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!
