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

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! 

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
