The Sun and Mercury Meet Up in Aquarius and Mars Enters Capricorn



The coming week is relatively quiet astrologically after this past week, which featured Mercury stationing retrograde on January 14, a Full Moon in Cancer on January 15 and Uranus stationing direct in Taurus on the 18th coupled with the Nodes of the Moon moving into Taurus and Scorpio on the same day.  Then the Sun entered Aquarius on January 19. On January 18 and 19 I tweeted:


The action this week revolves around the Sun and retrograde Mercury being conjunct in 3 degrees of Aquarius on January 23, 2022.  I don’t know about you, but I am definitely feeling this first Mercury retrograde of 2022 big time.  Almost every package I was expecting this week has been delivered to the wrong address and my computer and phone have experienced more than their fair share of malfunctions.  I was really beginning to wonder if this post was going to get written.  Of course a major factor in these travails is that Mercury retrograde is in Aquarius, which is associated with electronics.

What can we expect when the Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Aquarius?  Well, there will be an emphasis on technology and humanitarian efforts.  We will also see a focus on thinking, communication and short distance travel.  We can find ourselves sharing ideas that are very progressive because let’s face it, Mercury in Aquarius is very smart and innovative.  Just remember to carefully review everything that is said because Mercury is in trickster mode when it is retrograde.

On January 24, Mars departs the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius for the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn.  Mars is actually considered to be exalted in Capricorn because it is more ambitious and is inclined to act on its impulses in a constructive manner.  Mars will remain in Capricorn until March 6, 2022.  When Mars is in Capricorn, we are motivated to be more deliberate, persistent, level-headed, reliable and realistic.  This is a very powerful placement for Mars because Capricorn is renowned for being hard-working.  We have a prime opportunity to set clear goals and pursue them.  Just be mindful of the shadow side of Mars in Capricorn: a tendency towards blind ambition, and rigidity. This is a real mover and shaker transit that can be quite productive, so make the most of it.

On January 25, retrograde Mercury slips back into Capricorn and we can find ourselves communicating in a more practical and organized tone.  But it is important to remember that while Mercury in Capricorn is realistic that it can very easily drift into pessimism if we are not mindful.  And with Mercury being retrograde, we can find ourselves going back into our old rabbit holes… Mercury will station direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn on February 3 and will re-enter Aquarius on February 14 for Valentine’s Day.

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?

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a 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

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!
