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:

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
