Mercury Enters Taurus for Over Two Months and a Full Moon in Libra

 

The month of March has been intense, to say the least. Talk about coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb.  We had three major planets change signs: Saturn moved into Pisces on March 7, Pluto entered Aquarius for a brief stint on March 23, and Mars finally left Gemini for Cancer on March 25.  I don't know anyone, client or friend, who doesn't say that this month has been challenging and exhausting. This last week has had a slightly lighter vibration, which is something we all really need after the hectic pace of March.

Mercury is on the move again.  In the month of March, Mercury traveled through the signs of Aquarius, Pisces and Aries.  Air, water and fire had their journey through the messenger planet and on April 3, earth gets a shot when Mercury moves into Taurus.  This is going to be a much longer stay because Mercury stations retrograde in 15 degrees of Taurus on April 21.  It will go direct on May 14 in 5 degrees of Taurus (Mother's Day) but will remain in the fixed earth sign of Taurus until June 11.

What can we expect when Mercury is in Taurus?  Right off the bat, Mercury in Taurus will be squaring Pluto in Aquarius.  This is bound to bring some bitter disputes and generate some power struggles.  But our thinking and communication will be become more practical, grounded and solid.  It is an optimal time to strategize and plan, which was certainly not the case when Mercury was in Aries.  Persistence and common sense will prevail.  Our communication can be much softer and gentler than when Mercury was in Aries.  Just be mindful of the shadow side of Mercury in Taurus: a tendency towards stubbornness and we should all survive just fine.

On April 6, we have a potent Full Moon in 16 degrees of Libra. In addition to opposing the Sun in Aries, it is also opposing Jupiter in 20 degrees of Aries and Chiron in 15 degrees of Aries.  The Sun and Jupiter are conjunct on the Full Moon, which is really expanding the Aries themes of living in the moment and having a strong sense of self.  Health issues are going to be prominent on this Full Moon with the opposition to Chiron, so I encourage everyone to get any problems checked out.  All of this Aries energy is giving us the fuel to do it.  

The Full Moon in Libra touches on the issues of fairness, cooperation, peace, harmony, truth, the law and justice.  Since Full Moons can reveal hidden truths, don't be surprised if there are more legal cases in the news.  Full Moons can also represent endings, closure and completion too, so I wouldn't rule out some high profile break-ups.  This Full Moon in 16 degrees of Libra is inconjunct our favorite wild card planet Uranus in 17 degrees of Taurus, which can trigger more uprisings and rebellions.  I am a bit apprehensive about the Full Moon because it is exactly conjunct my natal Ascendant in 16 degrees of Libra.   It does trine my Mars in Aquarius and Moon in Gemini, but I am still concerned about the effects it will have on my Ascendant. Obviously I am poised for some major changes in my life.

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:

Mars Enters Cancer, Mercury and Jupiter Get Together and Venus and Uranus Hook Up

 

The month of March has seen quite a bit of change with Saturn entering Pisces on March 7, Pluto entering Aquarius on the 23rd and Mars is about to join the fray when it moves into Cancer on March 25.  Mars has been in Gemini since August 2022 due to its retrograde from October 30, 2022 through January 12, 2023.  I don't know about you, but I am thrilled to see Mars finally get out of Gemini.  It was conjunct my Moon and I was not a happy camper.

I know that traditional astrology knowledge states that Mars is in fall in Cancer, since it is exalted in the opposite sign of Capricorn, but I will take it over the last eight months of Mars in Gemini.  Mars in Cancer is not that comfortable expressing aggression.  It tends to be described as passive-aggressive.  Our actions can be reactive and oversensitive.  Cancer is ruled by the Moon, so we can expect to be more irritable and moody.  It will be an emotional roller coaster until Mars leaves Cancer on May 20, 2023.  But Mars in Cancer can be very constructive energy for domestic tasks (hello, Spring cleaning) and fighting for family rights.  Of course, it can also generate some squabbles on the home front.

But Mars in Cancer will be trining Saturn in 2 degrees of Pisces on March 30.  Mars and Saturn are not exactly compatible, but trust me, a trine beats a square, opposition or inconjunct aspect.  I speak from experience on this count because I have a natal Mars-Saturn square.  Talk about being your own worst enemy!  Mars trining Saturn does confer strength, ambition and perseverance.  It is a time to pursue your passion.  It is actually a good blend of initiative and patience.  Mars trining Saturn makes it easier to pay attention to details and we can actually make some progress through disciplined action.  If you have any tasks on your to-do list, this is the time to tackle them.

On March 28, Mercury and Jupiter are conjunct in 18 degrees of Aries.  This is a real feel-good vibe full of good news, optimism and a desire to be more social.  It is easy to express yourself more openly and enthusiastically.  It has a very future-oriented quality that is perfect for travel and study.  It is also great energy for settling disputes and negotiations, so make the most of this day.

We have another aspect on March 30 that makes it a memorable and potentially pleasant day.  Venus and Uranus are conjunct in 16 degrees of Taurus.  Venus is very happy in the sign of Taurus because it rules Taurus, while Uranus is very uncomfortable in Taurus, but we have been dealing with that since May 2018.  But when Venus and Uranus hook up in Taurus, we can experience sudden changes in love and/or money.  It is entirely possible to have some financial windfalls, but we can also be hit with the urge to splurge and the subsequent buyer's remorse.  Our desires can change, so be open to trying new things in your relationships.  And our creativity can soar as well on this day.

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.

Aries Season is Officially Launched with the Sun, Mercury and a New Moon in Aries While Pluto Enters Aquarius

 

Pisces season is ending with a bang as Mercury in Pisces squares off with Mars in 26 degrees of Gemini on March 17.  This will be one tense day that is definitely not going to be mellow and tempers could be flaring. The Sun and Mercury are also conjunct in Pisces on this day, so don't be surprised if hurt feelings are expressed.  Mercury in Pisces is sextiling Pluto in Capricorn on March 18 and we have the opportunity for more intense and in-depth communication and thinking.  

We have already have Jupiter and Chiron in Aries, but on March 19, Mercury joins the party and stays in Aries until April 3.  Mercury in Aries is more spontaneous in its thinking and conversation.  It can be impatient, impulsive, defensive and prone to making quick decisions.  But we will be more straightforward and honest, so at least we can bid farewell to the fog, confusion and deception that Mercury in Pisces brought to the table.

The Sun enters Aries on March 20 for the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.  In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the first day of Spring. March 20 is also considered to be International Astrology Day.  It is the first day of the astrological New Year because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac.  March 2023 is a pivotal, game-changing month and this is quite perfect for it to be our New Year.  When the Sun is in Aries, we tend to have more courage, energy, a desire to conquer and are itching to initiate some action. We are more impulsive and can become impatient more easily.  Aries is ruled by Mars, don't forget. 

The Moon moves into Aries on March 21 and we have a New Moon in 0 degrees of Aries at 1:23 p.m.  This will be one highly visible, action-packed New Moon in Aries.  How could it not be with Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Chiron also in Aries?  It is very aggressive and dynamic energy.  Aries is a cardinal sign, and cardinal signs love to initiate, so set those new intentions.  The force is literally with us, as the New Moon is also conjunct Mercury in Aries, adding to our mental focus and strength in creating a new reality.  Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces is also forming an out-of-sign conjunction with the New Moon, adding a layer of spirituality to the mix.  Don't even think of laying low or hiding out on this New Moon; it is a day to strut your stuff and launch your dreams.

Aries energy is dominating the astrological landscape these days.  And this year we have two New Moons in Aries.  The first one is on March 21 in 0 degrees of Aries and the second one happens on April 20 with a New Moon Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Aries.  This is a rare occurrence; we haven't had two New Moons in Aries since 2004.  Back in 2004, we had a New Moon in 0 degrees of Aries on March 20 and a Solar Eclipse on April 19 in 29 degrees of Aries. I always tend to describe Solar Eclipses as New Moons on steroids, which makes them even more powerful.  So just keep in mind to initiate your desires on March 21, but remember that you get another shot to keep the ball rolling on April 20... More on that in a later post.

On March 23, Pluto briefly enters the sign of Aquarius after having been in Capricorn since 2008.  Pluto will only remain in Aquarius until June 11 before it slips back into Capricorn. It will re-enter Aquarius on January 22, 2024 and then have one last tour in Capricorn on September 1, 2024 until it makes its final entry into Aquarius on November 19, 2024.  Then Pluto will be in Aquarius until 2043.

No one in the astrological community disputes the significance of Pluto entering Aquarius.  Pluto is a generational planet and its nature involves transformation.  I was watching Penny Thornton's YouTube video on Pluto in Aquarius this week and I couldn't help but agree with her when she said that you never really see what is coming with Pluto transits, but you will get stripped of something in your life.  You don't have a choice about what happens and there are no negotiations. You will feel threatened on some level and undergo a rebirth.  This doesn't mean that you will physically die, but something in your life will change.  Pluto's themes involve elimination, rebirth, death and reformation.  Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio and the two are irrevocably intertwined.  Scorpio is a sign of extremes, the fire and ice of the zodiac.  But it is also the sign that has as its highest form the phoenix that can rise from the ashes and be reborn.  It is a breakdown to a breakthrough process that frequently involves things getting worse before they get better.  I frequently tell my clients that rebirth ain't always pretty.  Pluto transits can feel like a wrecking ball is going through your life.   I personally had transiting Pluto in Capricorn conjunct my natal Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house and I can certainly attest to that theory.

What can we expect with Pluto in Aquarius?  I am very fond of looking to history as a guide and the last time Pluto was in Aquarius was in 1789.  The French had their own revolution back then.  Aquarius is the sign associated with humanitarianism, enlightenment and trying to create a more equal society.  We can also expect technology to see major changes as the Internet continues to unite us or divide us, depending on your point of view.  I find it supremely interesting that when Pluto entered Capricorn back in 2008 we had a severe financial crisis and as it prepares to leave Capricorn for the first time, we are dealing with bank collapses.  The bottom line is that the changes in society we are trying to implement will not happen overnight.

Issues of power and control are also associated with the planet Pluto.  If you have planets or points like your Ascendant, IC, Descendant or Midheaven  in 0-1 degree of the fixed signs of  Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, you will be the first to experience the effects of Pluto in Aquarius.  Once again, I am right in the line of fire on this one as I have Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio.  I wonder how it will change my thinking and communication?

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.

Venus Gets Very Busy Before it Moves into Taurus and Mercury Interacts with Uranus and Neptune

 

The month of March continues to roar like a lion with plenty of astrological activity.  We had a Full Moon in Virgo on March 7 and Saturn entered Pisces on the same day, inspiring me to tweet:

Saturn enters Pisces today as our dreams are tested and reality is challenged. Saturn isn’t comfortable in Pisces because Pisces doesn’t embrace boundaries or structure. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 7, 2023

On March 11, 2023, we have a couple more aspects that are a big deal.  Venus in Aries is sextiling Mars in 22 degrees of Gemini, and this is fabulous energy for socializing and romance.  We should be feeling confident, assertive and sexy.  This aspect also favors creativity and initiating projects, so don't waste the day.

Mercury in Pisces is also sextiling Uranus in 15 degrees of Taurus on March 11.  This can bring exciting news and stimulating conversations.  It is good for meeting people and making new friends.  This is also a very social aspect and it will create opportunities for more insight to be available.

On March 12, Jupiter and Chiron are conjunct in 14 degrees of Aries.  This aspect occurs every 50 years and opens us up for the chance to heal and grow.  It might force us to get in touch with some guilt and shame, but it will be well worth it as we acknowledge our individual wound's connection to learned models of behavior in society.  The payoff can lie in releasing and healing those wounds.  Yes, Jupiter could magnify our wounds, but healing is coming.

We will need to exercise some caution on March 14 when Mars in Gemini is forming a challenging square to Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces.  This is the third time that this aspect has occurred: the first one was on October 12, 2022 and the second was on November 19, 2022.  This aspect tends to produce low energy, suspicion, deceit, discouragement and paranoia.  We could also experience slander, scandal and hypochondria on this day.  It goes without saying that substance abuse is on the table too. I encourage you to think back to October and November of 2022 to see what issues were coming up for you then because frequently the third pass of an aspect is when we get some closure or clarity on it.

The Sun in Pisces is conjunct Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces on March 15.  This can play out in a couple of ways: it might bring a temporary period of confusion and disillusionment in love or spiritual beliefs or it can increase our sensitivity, intuition and empathy.  We might need to be extra cautious about setting boundaries on this day.

The Sun in Pisces is squaring Mars in 25 degrees of Gemini on March 16 and this can deliver challenges with tests of character from our competitors or enemies.  We can be feeling irritable and impatient, which can lead to a build-up of anger, resentment or sexual frustration.  This is not a fun aspect, which I can attest to because I have it natally between my Sun in Scorpio and Mars in Aquarius.  All I can say is try to be as patient as possible, which is easier said than done.

Mercury in Pisces is also conjunct Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces on March 16.  Our thinking is more focused on spiritual topics.  This is an ideal time to meditate and our psychic perceptions are heightened.  I personally love this aspect because I have it natally in my 1st house.  Just be mindful of the shadow side of this aspect: a tendency towards confusion, fear and paranoia.

And, ta-da, we have Venus entering Taurus on March 16 and it stays there until April 11, 2023.  Venus rules Taurus and Libra, so it is very happy and comfortable in Taurus.  We will be more grounded and rooted in our relationships as we seek out comfort, companionship and emotional security.  Kindness and common sense will prevail and there is more of an emphasis on building and securing wealth.  We are ready to enjoy the finer things in life.  Taurus does love its luxury and it can be a very sensual time. The only downside with Venus in Taurus is a tendency to be stubborn or possessive. But this should definitely be an enjoyable transit.

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!

Major Changes on the Horizon with a Full Moon in Virgo and Saturn Entering Pisces

 

This is a big month for change astrologically and we will have a perfect example of how this will play out on March 7 when we have a Full Moon in 16 degrees of Virgo at 7:40 a.m. and then Saturn enters Pisces at 8:35 a.m.  

Full Moons are considered to be times of closure and completion.  They can also reveal secrets and be quite emotionally chaotic.  A Full Moon in Virgo has themes of responsibility and duties trying to find some balance with the Pisces issues of escapism and compassion for others.  There is a strong theme of service to others laced with empathy.  It can be a healing time too, because Venus and Chiron were conjunct in 13 degrees of Aries on March 3.  This conjunction, only a day after the Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Aries on March 2, can bring deeper awareness of our emotional wounds. It will be important for all of us to get grounded on this day.  Mars in Gemini is factoring in heavily in this Full Moon too because both the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo are squaring it, so expect some explosions and temper tantrums. Uranus in 15 degrees of Taurus is trining the Moon and sextiling the Sun in Pisces.  With Uranus in the mix, technology and the Internet can be affected.  But Uranus in favorable aspects to the Full Moon will help us be more open to the changes we need to implement.

There are a lot of mutable planets on this Full Moon: the Sun, Mercury and Neptune in Pisces, the Moon in Virgo and Mars in Gemini.  Then Saturn moves into Pisces. I like to call this a Mutable Mash and it also fosters the ability to adapt to whatever changes are coming down the pike.  It is highly likely that many of us will feel overwhelmed with this Full Moon (spoiler alert) but we do have the tools to survive it and come out on the other side.  I personally think of it as a clearing Full Moon because it falls in my 12th house.

Saturn will be entering Pisces less than an hour later. It will remain in Pisces through February 2026.  Saturn is not terribly comfortable in Pisces because the Saturn theme of structure is not Pisces' bag.  Let's face it, Pisces is mutable water, it wants to flow and is averse to structure.  Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius, which for the past five years, has given us lockdowns, a pandemic and social distancing.  As a fixed sign, I am thrilled that Saturn is leaving Aquarius.  When Saturn enters Pisces, it will be trining my natal Mercury in Scorpio and I look forward to that. Saturn in Pisces will be trining all of my Scorpio and Cancer planets, which is a lot easier than the squares and opposition to my natal Pluto in Leo that I have endured with Saturn in Aquarius. I think that all of the fixed signs will be quite happy about this and will be heaving a collective sigh of relief.  Saturn in Pisces symbolizes an ending of the old world because Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and we could be dealing with some disillusionment and dissolution of those old structures.

Some of the other themes of Saturn in Pisces include healing and a testing of our spiritual beliefs. We might find ourselves developing more self-discipline around our spirituality. It can be a time of doing the work to make our dreams come true.  Just remember that Saturn requires us to be patient and diligent. If you have ever contemplated starting a meditation practice, this is the time to do it. Surrender to a Higher Power just might be in the cards.

It might be helpful for those of us who are old enough to think back to the last time Saturn was in Pisces.  The previous Saturn in Pisces transit occurred from May 1993 through April 1996.  Anyone born during this period will be experiencing their first Saturn Return in the next 2 1/2 years.  Saturn was also in Pisces from March 1964 to March 1966, and we all know that this was a time of  major social changes.  These folks will be having their second Saturn Return. Prior to that, Saturn was in Pisces from February 1935 to January 1938.  During that time, we had the Great Depression, the implementation of Social Security and Alcoholics Anonymous was born.  I don't think that anyone can dispute that alcoholism is a very Piscean theme, because let's face it, escapism and addiction are part of the shadow side of Pisces. Compulsive activities and a tendency towards playing the victim or martyr are also manifestations of the shadow side of Pisces.  When Saturn is in Pisces, we will be forced to deal with these issues.  But I firmly believe that Saturn in Pisces can indeed be a time of establishing more compassionate structures in our society and history bears this out.

This is only the beginning of the changes coming in the month of March.  Pluto enters Aquarius on March 23 and Mars enters Cancer on March 25.  Stay tuned for more info on these events in future posts.  But be mindful that this is a game-changing month...
