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. 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!
