A Relatively Quiet Week as March Begins with a Delightful Venus Jupiter Conjunction and Mercury Moves into Pisces

 

We have a relatively quiet week ahead of us to finish up the month of February before the major changes of March blow in like a lion.  This past week we did experience some turbulence on February 21, when Mercury in Aquarius squared Uranus in Taurus.  On that day I tweeted:

Be open to excitement and changes to daily routines today with Mercury in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. We could have some real breakthroughs or misunderstandings. It’s a high energy vibe. #astrology

I don't know about you, but I was quite rattled on that day.  I experienced a few electronic malfunctions with my printer and some customer service issues.  It didn't help that Mercury in Aquarius was one degree away from my natal Mars and of course Uranus was squaring my Mars.  I love it when astrology has an explanation for problems, but sometimes it can still be frustrating.  Mercury in Aquarius trined Mars in 16 degrees of Gemini on the 22nd, which helped to restore some order to any disturbances that occurred on February 21.

The remainder of February is devoid of any more major upsets.  On March 2, we have two major astrological events.  Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in 12 degrees of  Aries at 12:36 a.m. and this is a real feel-good vibe full of good karma, harmony, warmth and friendliness.  If you wake up with a smile on your face, it is because these two benefic planets are hooking up to have some fun.  The potential for new romance exists, as does the ability to attract financial benefits.  Creativity is also running high on this day.  This aspect brings good luck and it is a perfect day to socialize.  I always say with Jupiter, if you snooze, you lose, so get out there and mingle to make the most of this aspect.  Of course, Jupiter is also associated with excess, so be mindful of the tendency to overeat, have too many drinks or spend too much money.  This conjunction falls at the end of my 6th house, so I am going to have to be careful on this day.

Mercury will enter the mutable water sign of Pisces at 5:52 pm on March 2.  Mercury literally zips through Pisces and zips into Aries on March 19. But before Mercury leaves Aquarius, one of its favorite signs, it does conjunct Saturn in 29 degrees of Aquarius at 9:34 a.m.  This adds a tone of seriousness to our emotional nature and we could feel somewhat challenged and restricted in our relationships.  Just try to remember that this is a temporary influence.  Mercury is considered to be in fall in Pisces, because the sign of Pisces tends to be scattered, unorganized and illogical, which doesn't jive too well with Mercury representing the mind.

But Mercury in Pisces does have its perks.  We are more creative, intuitive and imaginative.  Vivid dreams can also accompany this Mercury placement.  Our thinking is done with our heart because we are going inward and we tend to see the big picture, the details not so much.  We might also find ourselves feeling more introverted and experience some difficulty in verbalizing our impressions.  But Mercury in Pisces gives us a lot more empathy for others and it can be a very sweet, dreamy time. When Mercury enters Pisces it will trine my natal Mercury in Scorpio, so I am looking forward to some inspiration.

Don't get too complacent with the Sun and Mercury in Pisces.  Things will definitely heat up the following week with a Full Moon in Virgo and Saturn entering Pisces on March 7.  I will cover that more in next week's post.

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
