A Cardinal Blast of Energy as Jupiter Enters Aries and the Sun Enters Capricorn

 

The astrological energy is shifting modalities from mutable to cardinal.  Mercury and Venus have already left the sign of Sagittarius for Capricorn and the Sun is about to follow suit.  On December 17, Mercury in 15 degrees of Capricorn will exactly trine Uranus in Taurus.  This can bring exciting news and interesting people into our orbit.  It is an eccentric vibe that will heighten our intuition and we can find that technology could be very helpful to us now.  Mercury will be in my 3rd house, so this aspect resonates for me.  Mercury entered its retrograde shadow in 8 degrees of Capricorn on December 12 for the upcoming Mercury retrograde that begins on December 29.

On December 20, Jupiter enters Aries until May 16, 2023.  If you are feeling like this is a Deja-vu experience, that is because Jupiter was previously in Aries from May 10, 2022 through October 28, 2022.  Jupiter only made it to 8 degrees of Aries before it stationed retrograde on July 28, 2022.  I don't want the later decanates of Aries to feel left out; you will get your turn this year to experience the expansive influence of Jupiter this year.  Jupiter has a very weird and somewhat bifurcated transit of the sign Aries because of the way it rolls when it retrogrades.  The last time Jupiter was in Aries was back in 2010 and 2011.  Back then it entered Aries on June 6, 2010 through September 9, 2010 and then again from January 22, 2011 through June 3, 2011.  I encourage all of my readers to think back to what issues you were dealing with back then because they could resurface.  If you are old enough to remember the previous Jupiter in Aries cycle, that one occurred from February 13, 1999 through June 27, 1999 and again from October 23, 1999 to February 14, 2000.

What are the prevalent themes of Jupiter in Aries?  Jupiter in Aries encourages us to embrace the self and our needs.  It gives us the courage to make our own luck by initiating action to manifest our dreams.  It is a very me-oriented flavor of Jupiter, which is a marked change from Jupiter in Pisces which had a more expansive influence on our spirituality and compassion for others.  It is quite literally the time to boldly act on making our dreams come true.  Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches and bestow good luck.  Personally, I regard it as the Santa Claus of planets and it is quite fitting that it changes signs this year around Christmas.  Jupiter in Aries will be conjuncting Chiron in Aries in early March 2023 and this could see some major healing on a personal and collective level.  This also ties in with the third anniversary of COVID being declared a pandemic, so I am trying to have faith that we can turn a corner on COVID and put it in the rear-view mirror.  But the conjunction is happening in my 6th house, so that is my take on it.

The Sun departs the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius and enters Capricorn on December 21, 2022.  This is the official start of winter, although many of us have been experiencing winter weather for the past week or so.  When the Sun is in Capricorn, our focus shifts to responsibilities and duties.  We are more realistic, pragmatic and likely to work hard towards our long-term goals.  Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which is a big change from Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter.  And Jupiter is more inclined to want to have fun. Just remember that the shadow side of Capricorn is a tendency towards pessimism and/or depression and we should be fine.

We also have the Sun in 0 degrees of Capricorn squaring Jupiter in 0 degrees of Aries on December 21.  Squares are usually considered to be challenging aspects, but when Jupiter is involved, they are not that bad and the least harmful. The Sun squaring Jupiter makes us feel confident and optimistic, but it can give us a penchant for biting off more than we can chew.  And we all know that can sometimes lead to an embarrassing failure.  The most productive way of dealing with squares to Jupiter is to adopt some form of moderation.

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful holiday gift. 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. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus twice. Stay safe and healthy, everyone! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology
