Mercury Enters Pisces and a Full Moon in Virgo

 

Mercury is joining the Pisces party on February 23 and will remain in Pisces until March 9.  Our thought processes are about to get more intuitive and less verbal as we turn inwards.  Thinking will be colored by emotions and we could find ourselves being more reactive.  Mercury in Pisces is a time when we are quieter, find it easier to listen and meditate.  Music can take on a greater role in our lives too.  Watch for synchronistic events to occur too.  The downside of Mercury in Pisces is that we can have a tendency to overlook the details.  It marks a major shift in communication from Mercury in Aquarius, which was very outspoken.  Yes, the energy is definitely shifting and we saw a significant change on February 18, when the Sun entered Pisces.  On that day I posted:

The energy shifts tonight to a softer, more compassionate, intuitive and dreamy tone when the Sun enters the mutable water sign of Pisces. # astrology

On the following day, we have a Full Moon in 5 degrees of Virgo.  The Full Moon will shine a light on health issues with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo. Issues pertaining to our digestive and immune systems could be highlighted.  The Moon in Virgo is also opposing Saturn in 9 degrees of Pisces, which could create feelings of depression and loneliness.  It can be hard to share emotions on this day, just warning you.  And the opposition to Saturn can manifest as more restrictions and rules to stymie our freedom.  The Moon is also inconjunct Mars in 8 degrees of Aquarius, which will add to the irritability factor that tends to come out on Full Moons.  Try to get in some exercise to channel that frustration. And the Moon will also be inconjunct Venus in 9 degrees of Aquarius, which can increase our desire for love and fuel more tension.  The bottom line with these inconjunct aspects is to make some adjustments.  It's not always easy but definitely worth the effort.  Venus in Aquarius is squaring Jupiter in Taurus, which isn't all bad.  Venus and Jupiter tend to get along well, even with a square aspect.  It is a fun-loving, social aspect and its only drawback is a tendency towards extravagance.   But the Moon in Virgo is also trining Jupiter in 11 degrees of Taurus, which can generate new ideas and a sense of optimism in planning for the future.  

Mars in Aquarius will be squaring Jupiter in 10 degrees of Taurus on February 26 and this can play out as lots more energy at our disposal to take the initiative and engage in some risk-taking.  Bring on those new projects!  We will be primed to fight for our belief systems and have more courage.  Just be mindful of a tendency to be tactless and impulsive.

Mercury and the Sun are both conjunct Saturn in 9 degrees of Pisces on February 28.  Mercury conjunct Saturn will help us with critical thinking, but it can feel somewhat heavy and trigger clashes with authority figures.  Try not to dwell on any negativity.  The Sun's meet-up with Saturn can bring on extra responsibilities and hard work.  Patience and discipline are going to be required.  This isn't exactly what we wanted to hear, but this is the way it is.

The month of February ends on a more positive note on the 29th when Mercury in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 11 degrees of Taurus. This is extremely favorable for communication and planning for the future.  It also boosts our decision-making skills.  It has a very social vibe too, so if you are in the mood to make new friends, get yourself out there.  Sometimes that extra day in the month is just what we need!

I am pleased to announce that I have another article published on Powerfortunes.com about Profection Years in Astrology. You can read it on:https://www.powerfortunes.com/topics-opinions/profectionyears.php.  It turns out that there are definite themes present in each year of our life and they tend to repeat.  I like to think of them like Jupiter Returns, because they occur every twelve years.

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, 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

Venus Enters Aquarius and the Sun Sails into Pisces

 

The times they are a changing and there is ample evidence of that this week when Venus joins the Aquarius party on February 16.  We already have the Sun, Mars, Mercury and Pluto there, so now we can expect even more change and a need for freedom in our lives.  Venus in Aquarius has a more unconventional expression of love and craves experimentation.  Venus will remain in Aquarius until March 11 and we can expect to be desiring more space in our relationships as well as a need for fairness.  The lines between friendship and love can also become a bit blurred when Venus is in Aquarius.  Venus in Aquarius is more cerebral and detached; it is not exactly known for being warm and fuzzy but that can be a good thing if we need to talk things out rationally in relationships.  When Venus is transiting the sign of Aquarius we  might also find that our friendships become more important to us.  Venus will be conjunct Pluto in Aquarius on February 17 and this can add more layers of intensity and passion to relationships.  It can also motivate us to be more honest and get to the root of any issues that have been bothering us.  Spoiler alert, it can also bring up issues of control, power, jealousy and obsession on this day.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention that on February 16 we have another blast of Aquarius energy when Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus.  Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius, so this is indeed a heavy hit as it doubly emphasizes the Aquarian and Uranian vibes. Mercury squaring Uranus can produce nervous energy and anxiety.  It also has a very unpredictable quality and there is a strong likelihood that things might not go as planned.  There is also a sense of brilliant thinking present as new information could emerge as well as different approaches to situations. I have a natal Mercury-Uranus square and I can tell you first-hand that it indicates an original thinker that doesn't follow the pack.  It could be an exciting day in terms of the news. Changes can occur in our routines and there is the potential for misunderstandings in communication.  Since Mercury also rules transportation, please be careful driving on this day too.

On February 18, the Sun enters the mutable water sign of Pisces.  So one planet is leaving the Aquarius party.  I must confess that I tend to love it when the Sun is in Pisces, probably because I am a Scorpio and at least the Sun is literally in my element now. It is in a fun part of my chart-my 5th house.  When the Sun is in Pisces, our focus shifts towards more compassion and empathy for others as altruism rules. We are inclined to follow our dreams and be more creative.  Just be mindful that there is a shadow side of the Sun in Pisces: don't get caught up in self-pity and martyrdom or victimization.  Addiction could rear its ugly head too and there might be a tendency towards escapism when the Sun is in Pisces. Channel that need for escapism constructively by going to the theatre, a museum or a movie.  You get the idea; you don't have to go down the rabbit hole.

On February 22, Venus in Aquarius meets up with Mars in 6 degrees of Aquarius.  This can be a very romantic time as passion and intimacy are amped up a notch.  If your Valentine's Day was a bit lackluster, this could be your chance to make up for it.  It represents an opportunity to meet new friends as well and to be creative.  So please make the most of this day and get out there if possible.

A Super-Charged New Moon in Aquarius and Mars Enters Aquarius for a Rendezvous with Pluto on Valentine's Day

 

We have our very first New Moon with Pluto in Aquarius.  On February 9, we have a New Moon in 20 degrees of Aquarius that is also squaring the ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus.  This will be quite the intense New Moon and some might feel like it is a Full Moon.  Obviously it has a very Uranian theme as it is a time to let go of what is no longer serving our best interests and break free of old patterns.  There is a great deal of nervous energy present and exciting news could very well be on the horizon.  Aquarius is a very future oriented sign.  The Moon squaring Uranus makes it hard to predict how it will play out, as anything can happen.  I can tell you that most of us will probably feel quite uncomfortable with the changes that are coming as we get in touch with our soul's desire, feel our truth and aim to get authentic.  On February 8, we had the Sun in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus setting the stage for this New Moon and on that day I posted:

We have a really edgy off-the-wall vibe today with the Sun in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. It can be a real wild card that triggers unexpected events and situations. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) February 8, 2024

The bottom line is that this New Moon will be a wild ride as we plunge forward into the future and it will undoubtedly deliver some surprises that we didn't see coming. So hang in there...

On the following day, Mercury in Aquarius is squaring Jupiter in 8 degrees of Taurus.  This is also the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Wood Dragon. We haven't had a Dragon year since 2012, and the last Wood Dragon year was 1964, which was a pivotal year for social change. Saturn was in Aquarius at the beginning of 1964, dipped into Pisces from late March through September and then went back into Pisces (like it is now) in December 1964.  Food for thought, n'est pas?  Mercury squaring Jupiter can be quite optimistic but while we definitely have the big picture in sight, we aren't so focused on the details.  And since Jupiter loves to amplify whatever it touches, we can be prone to exaggerating and overreacting.  Just a heads up that some folks could be a bit cocky.

Mars joins the Aquarius party (Sun, Mercury and Pluto) on February 13 and stays there until March 22, 2024.  Mars in Aquarius is the social warrior and is driven by humanitarian desires.  It is very independent energy with a touch of recklessness and eccentricity.  It is definitely a rebel vibe.  It can be erratic and has a short fuse.  I say this from the voice of experience because I have a natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house. When Mars is in Aquarius, we will opt for unconventional methods and approach problems from an intellectual and detached perspective.

Mars is conjunct Pluto in 0 degrees of Aquarius on February 14, aka Valentine's Day.  This is a volatile mix with an abundance of domineering and aggressive energy.  It will increase our ambition, sex drive and lust for power.  So it can be a day of strong reactions, to say the least.  If you happen to have any planets or points (like Ascendant or Midheaven) in the early degrees (0-5) of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio, you will feel the brunt of this aspect.  I happen to have my Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house, so there is no escape for me on this one.

Wishing all of my readers a Happy Lunar New Year of the Dragon and Valentine's Day.  Venus will enter Aquarius on February 16 and have its own meet-up with Pluto on the 17th.  More on that in next week's post.

I would also like to announce that I have had a second article published about Lunar Phases on PowerFortunes.com.  I posted about it on January 16:

The Aquarius Party Continues as Mercury Joins the Fray and Uranus Acts Up

 

Aquarius season is officially here with both the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius. We should definitely be feeling the need to find freedom and let our freak flag fly. The ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus, even did its part by stationing direct on January 27 after a five-month nap.  On that day I posted:

The major astrological event of today is Uranus stationing direct after being retrograde since late August. All of the planets are now direct and we can proceed with implementing change. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 27, 2024

Mercury will be entering Aquarius during the coming week, but it has a final aspect in the sign of Capricorn that will impact us before it leaves.  On February 2, Mercury in Capricorn will form a supportive sextile to Neptune in 26 degrees of Pisces.  Pay attention to your dreams with this one, engage in some meditation as insights can be gleaned and let your creativity flow.  This is one of the more delightful aspects of the month, so enjoy it.

Mercury enters Aquarius on February 5 and stays there until February 23. We will definitely be primed for thinking outside of the box.  Originality, innovation and eccentricity are calling the shots as we hunger for knowledge.  Mercury wastes no time getting busy when it conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius about an hour after its entrance into Aquarius.  This will add another layer of intensity to communication.  It can also be a time of psychological analysis and getting to the root of problems.  But please be mindful that there is the potential for mental power struggles...  After all, Aquarius is the fixed air sign and it can be stubborn.

Venus in Capricorn will be trining Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus on February 7.  Uranus is really feeling its oats these days now that it is direct and this aspect will give us the urge to try something new in love or with our finances.  We want to break free of any restrictions in relationships.  It's possible to meet new people now and a financial windfall could be in the offing because this is a trine, so any surprises that are delivered should be pleasant.  Trust me on this one because I have a natal trine involving Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer.

But Uranus kicks into high gear on February 8 when the Sun in Aquarius is exactly squaring Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus. Mark my words, this is not going to be a day with a peaceful easy feeling, to paraphrase that old Eagles song.  It will be characterized by a quite uneasy feeling, anxiety and uncertainty as we sense impending change upon us.  We are aware that change is inevitable, but the issue is that we don't know how or when it will occur.  This is a very volatile aspect that can lead to unpredictable behavior and ego conflicts.  It is also leading into the New Moon in 20 degrees of Aquarius that will occur on February 9.  Uranus will be a major player in that New Moon because the Moon will be squaring it.  I will cover that more in next week's blog post.

I would also like to announce that I have had a second article published about Lunar Phases on PowerFortunes.com.  I posted about it on January 16:

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a combination reading which offers the option of a 30-minute astrology consultation with a one-question tarot reading for only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget. I also have a one-question tarot reading for only $15. 

Please consider purchasing a tarot reading for $15. This is perfect if you want some insight into yourself right now regarding a specific situation and how you can transform the challenges into opportunities. Check it out on: https://t.co/CvAZB7Fyvr pic.twitter.com/EKYmrZCn6l

My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter at:

A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice. If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.  Or you can send a contribution using Zelle and my phone number 617-304-2205.

 

Additionally, I am available for tarot readings by telephone.  I use the Celestial Tarot Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols.  A tarot reading is another great option for obtaining insight and clarity. I offer a 24-card tarot card reading for $50 which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com. Just let me know which type of consultation you want with your birth date info.  Or you can send a payment to my Venmo account at Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7 or Zelle using my phone number 617-304-2205.

In 2020, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website. February horoscopes are up now and I now have a link to my monthly forecasts at Horoscope Junkie.  Check it out at:

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, 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 also wanted to note that in an ironic twist of fate, one of the latest variants of COVID is EG.5, with a nickname of Eris.  Sound familiar--the Goddess of Discord?  Apparently, COVID cases and hospitalizations are on the rise...

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. 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
