Venus and Mercury Turn Direct and a New Moon in Aquarius

 






Hang on this week because there is a lot of cosmic activity going down.  On January 28, Mercury and Pluto are conjunct for the second time in 27 degrees of Capricorn. The previous conjunction occurred on December 29, 2021 in 25 degrees of Capricorn when Mercury was still direct.  What can we expect when this happens? More scandals and secrets could be revealed as it is prime time to dig deep.  Our thinking and communication will undoubtedly be transformed.  And we get to experience this transit one more time on February 11, 2022 with both planets in 27 degrees of Capricorn again. 

We have really good news on January 29 when Venus stations direct in 11 degrees of Capricorn.  Venus has been retrograde since December 19, 2021 when it stationed retrograde in 26 degrees of Capricorn and it has been testing relationships and finances ever since.  At least that is what I am hearing from people and it’s been my own personal experience too.  I personally think it has heavily influenced the feeling of being stuck so far this year and like we are reenacting a Groundhog Day of the year 2021.  Venus will remain in Capricorn until March 6, 2022 so we still have a lot of heavy stuff to sift through but it should start to get a little easier now.  Venus has been in Capricorn since early November 2021, so this is a very extended transit that will force us to be more responsible in our relationships and finances. Harmony is making a comeback and if you have been contemplating any major changes to your appearance, you have a green light to move forward now that Venus is direct.

The Sun in 10 degrees of Aquarius will be exactly squaring rebel planet Uranus in 10 degrees of Taurus on January 30, 2022.  How is this aspect going to play out?  Well, we can expect some tension which can lead to unpredictable behavior such as angry outbursts, radical changes and of course, electrical malfunctions.  Mercury is still retrograde, don’t forget.  The best way to survive this transit is to be as proactive as possible regarding change and expect that something will alter the course of your life as a result of this challenging aspect.  Try to be flexible which might not be that easy with both of these planets in fixed signs…

On February 1, 2022, we have a New Moon in 12 degrees of Aquarius.  This is also the Chinese New Year of the Tiger.  New Moons are always an opportunity to set some new intentions so I encourage all of you to do so, but be mindful of the fact that this New Moon is conjunct Saturn in 15 degrees of Aquarius.  The bottom line with Saturn’s alignment with the Moon means that whatever new beginnings we experience are originating out of hard times because Saturn loves to test us and forces us to be realistic in order to create something solid.  So, in essence, reality bites.  The three Saturn-Uranus squares of 2021 might be over, but they are still a force to be reckoned with in 2022.  The Sun in Aquarius was squaring Uranus in Taurus on the 30th and the New Moon in Aquarius is conjunct Saturn in Aquarius.  Change is coming, but there is still resistance to changing the status quo and we need to accept the fact that the changes we desire are happening on their own timetable, not ours.  We still have free will, so please try to initiate something on this New Moon because there is an excellent chance that we will see positive results by the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 12, 2022.  Mars in 5 degrees of Capricorn is trining Uranus in 10 degrees of Taurus on this New Moon, so this is still pretty focused energy that shouldn’t be wasted. I personally have some trepidation about this New Moon because it is conjunct my natal Mars in 14 degrees of Aquarius in my 4th house and squaring my Saturn in 12 degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house.  And Uranus in Taurus is still in my 7th house squaring both my Mars and Saturn.  So I fully appreciate this theme.

On February 3, 2022, prepare to rejoice because Mercury stations direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn after having been retrograde since January 14, when it stationed retrograde in 11 degrees of Aquarius.  Mercury is moving slowly because of its station, but it will re-enter Aquarius on Valentine’s Day, February 14.  So communication should start to get back on track, hopefully travel will become easier and our electronics should start behaving and stop their infuriating malfunctions.

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!
