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

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, 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
