A High Energy New Moon in Aries and Venus Sails into Pisces

 

We have a high energy, octane-filled New Moon in 11 degrees of Aries on April 1, 2022.  New Moons are always associated with planting seeds and initiating new ventures, but this one has a special oomph to it.  For starters, it is in the cardinal fire sign of Aries, which is the first sign of the zodiac and a real go-getter.  The sign of Aries is brimming with courage,  initiative and impulsiveness.  A quest for freedom is a major theme of this New Moon. Mercury is also in Aries and this makes it an ideal time to launch a new project.  Many of us felt like the year 2022 began when the Sun entered Aries on March 20, but on April 1 we have the opportunity to literally blast off.

The New Moon is also conjunct Chiron in 12 degrees of Aries.  This could actually be a good thing as it could bring new healing treatments for the pandemic.  We are already hearing about the FDA authorizing a second booster shot for people over 50.  Just be mindful of the fact that there is also a tendency for Chiron to make us feel somewhat left out of the mainstream and with it so closely aspecting the Sun and Moon, we could be feeling it more acutely.  Just utilize that Aries energy to initiate contact with others and seek out alternative forms of  healing.

Mars in 19 degrees of Aquarius and Uranus in 12 degrees of Taurus are also heavy hitters in this New Moon. They are forming a wide square aspect, which can produce more earthquakes, volatile weather or increase the demand for new social structures.

Mars and Saturn will be conjunct in 22 degrees of Aquarius on April 4.  Venus was conjunct Saturn in Aquarius on March 28, which inspired me to tweet:

We are getting a major reality check today in love and finances with Venus and Saturn conjunct in Aquarius. #astrology

What can we expect when Mars is conjunct Saturn in Aquarius?  We could be dealing with issues pertaining to forced control of freedom, as we might feel it difficult to make progress.  Mars and Saturn were conjunct in Capricorn on March 20, 2020, which brought about the lockdowns at the start of the pandemic. But the thing to understand with Mars-Saturn aspects (I have a natal square involving Mars in Aquarius squaring Saturn in Scorpio) is that they can make you very resourceful in terms of setting goals.  And this conjunction is in a fixed sign so it can increase our determination.  Saturn is also associated with fear and blockages, which we have a chance to release at this time.  Mars and Saturn will be squaring the North Node in 22 degrees of Taurus and the South Node in 22 degrees of Scorpio on April 5, so we are bound to be feeling intense pressure and stress to move forward and release the past.  Just remember to move towards the energy of the North Node in Taurus to preserve the earth and peace and not get sucked into the lower vibrations of Scorpio, which is quite literally hell-bent on revenge.  I can say this because I am all too familiar with the energy of Scorpio.  If you must use the Scorpio energy, tap into the loyalty piece.

On April 5 we have a real treat in store for us.  Venus enters the mutable water sign of Pisces, where it is exalted.  Venus stays in Pisces until May 2, so make the most of it.  Venus in Pisces is characterized by unconditional love, compassion, tenderness and heightened degrees of spirituality.  It is a very dreamy and romantic placement for Venus.  It can be a time when we fall in love at first sight, but it is not the best time to make a commitment because boundaries can get blurred.  Venus in Pisces also has a shadow side that can make us prone to victimization and subject to evasiveness in relationships.  But it is definitely a refreshing change from Venus in Aquarius, which has a more intellectual and detached quality.  When Venus is in Pisces, we tend to fall for people who trigger our compassion.  Just don't get tripped up on rescuing or saving that person...

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. 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.  As a direct result of the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on March 13, I introduced a new one-question tarot reading. These can be done by phone or video.

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. 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!
