A More Mellow Week as Venus Enters Pisces, the Sun and Mars Get Along and Mercury Meets up with Uranus Take 3

 

We should be feeling calmer and more at peace than last week when we had the Sun entering Aquarius, a New Moon in Aquarius and Uranus stationing direct on January 22.  It was a very Uranian week, to say the least, and I am sure that most of us have felt rattled by the recent Uranus station.

But on January 26, Venus left the sign of Aquarius to enter its happy place, the mutable water sign of Pisces.  Venus can be very detached in Aquarius and can have quite the edge to it.  Don't forget that Uranus rules Aquarius. While Venus rules Taurus and Libra, it is considered to be exalted in Pisces.  It is a softer and gentler vibe that embraces the themes of unconditional love, empathy and compassion.  We will have a tendency to want to work together to make love work.  The shadow side of Venus in Pisces is that we tend to look at life through rose-colored glasses and that our boundaries are not that strong.  Venus will be in Pisces until February 20, so enjoy it while it lasts.

We have a couple of trines occurring on January 29 that should make all of us a lot happier.  One of them involves Mars in Gemini, which is still out of bounds, but we will take it.  Mars has been in Gemini since August 21, 2022 and won't leave Gemini until March 25, 2023.  It was not the easiest Mars retrograde, to be sure.  The other trine features Mercury and Uranus, which are both now direct.

The Sun in Aquarius will be exactly trining Mars in 9 degrees of Gemini on January 29.  This is a delightful aspect that provides a jolt of energy and gives us more confidence and enthusiasm.  We want to socialize and take more risks.  This favors romance too and any kind of physical activity because there is added energy.  I have a natal Sun-Mars square, which is definitely not so nice or easy.  The Sun will be conjunct my Mars and Mars will be conjunct my Gemini Moon, so I am looking forward to this aspect.

Mercury in Capricorn will exactly trining Uranus in 14 degrees of Taurus on January 29 too.  This is the third time this aspect has occurred.  The first hit happened on December 17, 2022 when Mercury was direct and Uranus was retrograde and the second one occurred on January 8, 2023 when both planets were retrograde.  Mercury trining Uranus can bring exciting news and brilliant ideas.  Breakthroughs are possible and our intuition is very strong.  Computers and technology could factor in heavily on this day too.  There is an added bonus with this trine being in earth signs: we can be more grounded and solidify our brilliant ideas.  And, since it is the third time this aspect occurs, it literally could be the charm for implementing new ideas. So let's get going...

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 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
