Mercury Retrograde in Aries and Venus and Neptune Hook Up in Pisces

 

Well, the month of March is winding down and as of April 1, we will have one retrograde planet: Mercury will station retrograde in 27 degrees of Aries.  It will be retrograde until April 25, when it stations direct in 16 degrees of Aries.  This is quite an April Fools move, n'est pas?  I know that most people don't like Mercury retrograde, but after this week's Lunar Eclipse in Libra on March 25, it shouldn't be that bad.  On that day I posted:

Today is the #LunarEclipse in Libra that kicks off the 2024 eclipse season. We can expect a major emphasis on relationships and some endings to outworn patterns like codependency and people pleasing. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 25, 2024

We are literally in the midst of eclipse season and the next one happens on April 8.  It is a Solar Eclipse in 19 degrees of Aries. And retrograde Mercury will be conjunct that Moon in Aries, which could add to more misunderstandings.

Mercury actually entered its retrograde shadow on March 19, so if you have been experiencing the usual communication, transportation and electronic malfunctions, there is a reason.  Yes, we had a Lunar Eclipse in the Mercury retrograde shadow.  I personally had quite a lot of uncomfortable activity on the Lunar Eclipse (it fell in my 12th house and squared my nodes) and I have been hearing stories from friends and clients about tough times as the clearing out and releasing process began. My husband's cell phone died on the eclipse and my printer has been acting wonky all week.

What will it be like to have Mercury retrograde in Aries?  Well, we can expect more impatience and frustration with whatever delays and snafus we experience with communication, transportation and electronic devices. Mercury retrograde by its very nature requires us to review stuff and perhaps do it twice, which is not very compatible with the impulsive energy of the cardinal fire sign of Aries.  It can also make us more inclined to be more blunt and impolite in conversations.  Temper tantrums might be happening too. But the good thing about Aries being angry is that it tends to blow over quickly.  It's not like a Mercury in Scorpio, which tends to hold grudges. And on April 11, Mercury will be conjunct the Sun in 21 degrees of Aries, which can actually be favorable for making plans.  Mercury will be in the heart of the Sun or cazimi, as it is known.  And cazimi represents good luck, so there could very well be some opportunities presented to us on April 11.

On April 3, Venus and Neptune will be conjunct in 28 degrees of Pisces.  Venus is in its sign of exaltation and Neptune rules Pisces, so these two planets are very happy together.  It brings the potential for new romance or it can enhance the compassion and spiritual bonding in existing relationships.  But there is a shadow side to this aspect: it can make us fall in love with the ideal of love and bring major disappointments if we overidealize someone.  Venus conjunct Neptune has a tendency to blur boundaries and distort the truth. Just be careful with this one.  And people are extremely sensitive to words with this planetary alignment.  There is another perk to it, though: it can be a boon to creativity.  Hold that thought...

I would like to announce that I have another article published on PowerFortunes.com.  This one is about the upcoming conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus on April 20.  I was born during a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Cancer, so it is very relevant for me.  And I believe that this will be one of the most positive aspects to occur in 2024.  You can read it 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

Mars Enters Pisces, Eclipse Season Kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse in Libra and Venus Makes Some Moves

 

We have an action packed, highly emotional week coming up.  On March 22, Mars leaves the fixed air sign of Aquarius to swim into the mutable water sign of Pisces until April 30.  Mars in Pisces is motivated by spiritual and emotional drives.  It's a very different vibe from Mars in Aquarius, which is motivated by humanitarian goals and principles.  Mars in Pisces is a time to be a spiritual warrior when compassion rules.  It is still Mars, so there is a dynamic component and it can also inspire bouts of creativity.  Mars is joining Saturn, Neptune and Venus in Pisces.  Venus has been quite busy lately and it shows no sign of stopping.

On March 24, Venus in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Taurus.  This is a real feel-good vibe which holds the promise of good luck, generosity and is quite favorable for love relationships.  After all, Venus and Jupiter are known as benefics, so when the two of them meet up, a good time can be had by all.  We could be receiving gifts or money.  It's also a time to up your self-care game.  The only potential drawback with this aspect is a tendency towards excess, as in too much of a good thing.  

The first eclipse of 2024 is here on March 25 with a penumbral or partial Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees of Libra.  Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons on steroids and their effects can be felt about six weeks before and after they occur.  This is a South Node eclipse because the South Node of the Moon is in 15 degrees of Libra and it represents an ending or culmination period. It forces us to ask what we need to leave behind.  Something might have started with the Solar Eclipse in 20 degrees of Libra on October 14, 2023 that is being resolved or released now.

A Lunar Eclipse in Libra has a strong theme of relationship patterns.  We could be ready to release some people-pleasing, codependent and enabling habits that are no longer serving us or those we love.  If you have any planets or points (like an Ascendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) within 3 degrees of the Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees in Libra or in the remaining cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer or Capricorn, you will definitely be feeling the effects of this eclipse.  This eclipse is squaring my North Node in Capricorn and my South Node in Cancer, so I sense that I am quite literally at a crossroad between my past and present. This eclipse is also trining Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius, so there is no escaping a deep dive into relationship dynamics for the purpose of transformation.

Another theme with this eclipse is that of adjustments.  The Moon in Libra will be forming an irritating inconjunct to Saturn in Pisces. Nobody likes inconjuncts, especially when Saturn is involved.  Saturn is associated with restrictions, a certain amount of reserve and withholding, as well as requiring some hard work.  But it can also reward us for a lesson well-learned if we are willing to make the effort.

Venus in Pisces has another game in motion for us on March 28 when it forms a supportive sextile to Uranus in 20 degrees of Taurus.  We could be in the mood for fun and excitement in our social life and in our love relationships.  Freedom and independence become more important to us.  It is an ideal time to make new friends and possibly meet a new lover if we are unattached.  Just don't expect much stability in any relationship that starts under a Venus-Uranus aspect.  But don't be afraid to embrace something different and unusual. Venus sextiling Uranus can also bring unexpected opportunities for money too.  Venus is also associated with money and we could have some delightful surprises in store for us.

The Sun and Neptune Are Conjunct in Pisces and Then the Sun Moves into Aries Where it Meets up with Pluto

 

The Sun is very busy these days.  On March 17 (St. Patrick's Day), the Sun will be exactly conjunct Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces. It has a theme of surrendering your sense of self to obtain a deeper understanding of your identity. It is a very dreamy vibe and we will definitely be more sensitive physically and emotionally.  Our capacity for sympathy, empathy and compassion is ramped up.  This aspect also increases our desire for escapism, so feel free to see a movie or enjoy the arts.  Artistic inspiration is flowing freely and spiritual awakenings are possible too.  Just remember to set some boundaries in relationships so that we don't play out the less evolved shadow side of Neptune in terms of becoming a victim or martyr.

On March 19, the Sun leaves the mutable water sign of Pisces to enter the cardinal fire sign of Aries. It's literally the start of the astrological new year and is International Astrology Day. When the Sun is in Aries, we are more enthusiastic, spontaneous and impulsive.  We are raring to go forward and have more energy and courage to get us there.  Aries is the first sign in the zodiac and it favors new beginnings.  We can be inclined to live in the moment during the Sun's passage through Aries and not see the big picture. We can also be more impatient and with Mercury in Aries to boot (until May 15 with next month's Mercury retrograde) this can play out as saying things in the heat of the moment that we might later regret.

The Sun in Aries has a favorable meet-up with Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius on March 21.  This is a sextile aspect, which tends to present us with opportunities.  It will increase our need to succeed and make us more determined and purposeful.  We can actually be in better control of our obsessions and compulsions to help us to complete difficult tasks.  Our spiritual warrior is coming out to play, so to speak as we feel more empowered.  Mercury in Aries sextiled Pluto in Aquarius on March 10, the day of the New Moon in 20 degrees of Pisces. On that day I posted:

We have the power to act on transforming our reality today with Mercury in Aries forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in Aquarius. Plant those seeds for change and a fresh start. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 10, 2024

We also have Venus in Pisces conjunct Saturn in 12 degrees of Pisces on March 21.  This is not exactly the most fun aspect because it can make us feel isolated, sad or depressed.  It also has a way of testing relationships through distance, separation and an inability to connect in a meaningful way.  There could be some underlying issues of guilt or disloyalties at the root of these problems.  And it can also play out as financial hardships.  Fortunately this is a temporary aspect.  I myself am not looking forward to it because it is squaring my Moon in Gemini and trining my natal Saturn in Scorpio.  This is one aspect that is probably not helpful with a trine. Venus and Saturn are not exactly on the same page, so their get-togethers can be somewhat uncomfortable. Just remember it is temporary and will pass.

It is also important to remember that we are entering eclipse season and have technically been in it since the New Moon in Pisces on March 10.  We have our first eclipse of 2024 on March 25 with a Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees of Libra and since eclipses come in pairs, it will be followed by a total Solar Eclipse in 19 degrees of Aries on April 8. So if you are already feeling some intense vibes, it is not your imagination.

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.

A Wild Week Ahead with Mercury and Neptune Meeting up in Pisces, Mars Squaring Uranus, Mercury Entering Aries and a New Moon in Pisces

 

Remember how I said that last week was indicating calm energy to start the month of March? Well, scratch that because this is one month that is coming in like a lamb and going out like a lion.  On March 8, Mercury and Neptune are conjunct 27 degrees of Pisces. This will definitely impact our thinking and communication in either a positive or negative manner.  We can be more psychic and intuitive, but the lower-level manifestation of this energy can involve deception, confusion and paranoia.  The fact that this conjunction occurs in the mutable water sign of Pisces can support the deceit theme but it can also deliver profound spiritual insight.  I have heard so many stories this week of people having their financial accounts hacked and false charges on their credit cards racked up, so I urge everyone to exercise extreme caution and vigilance.  I have a natal Mercury-Neptune conjunction in my 1st house, so I am no stranger to this energy. I am extremely psychic and sensitive to other people's vibrations and have tried to channel it constructively in my work.  But I am fully aware of its capacity to deceive and leave me vulnerable to feeling like a victim or martyr. And I discovered many years ago that I need to protect myself from the flood of emotions that surround me or risk emotional drowning.  White light became my best friend and protector.  Mercury conjunct Neptune can also be responsible for generating rumors and dissolving things that are no longer working for us. Situations or people could be fading from our lives.

On March 9, Mars in Aquarius will be exactly squaring Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus.  Let's face it, most of us have been feeling the urge to break free from restrictions and rebel against authority that has been cramping down on us for some time. It has been building for the past week.  We are probably going to feel like acting rashly without regard for the outcome and this can lead to disruption and conflict.  It can also lead to accidents, so I urge everyone to be especially careful on this day. The big question is where it playing out for you.  For me, Mars in Aquarius is in my 5th house and Uranus in Taurus is in my 8th house.

On the same day, the Sun in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus.  At least this aspect can deliver some pleasant surprises, as it is an easy and flowing influence that can encourages trying something new and exciting. But because Uranus is involved and we are still on the heels of the Mars-Uranus square, a little caution is still called for on this day to avoid any accidents or mishaps. We just might benefit from increased self-awareness.

Mercury is entering Aries as well on March 9.  And it will be in Aries until May 15 because guess what?  Mercury will be retrograde from April 1 to April 25.  When Mercury is in Aries, we are very assertive and tend to open up the lines of communication. We are inclined to say exactly what we are thinking and feeling.  We also have more courage to do so (Aries is ruled by the planet Mars) but we can also be more impulsive.  It can be a time when we communicate in a very blunt manner and make quick decisions.  A lot of important news could be forthcoming with Mercury in Aries for this extended period of time.

All of this leads up to a Super New Moon in 20 degrees of Pisces on March 10, 2024.  It is a Super Moon because it is so close to the earth. And it is the doorway to eclipse season that officially commences on March 25 with a Lunar Eclipse in Libra that will impact relationships in a big way. This will be a very emotional New Moon infused with a jolt of creativity and a desire to launch our dreams.  This New Moon is also conjunct Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces, so I especially encourage you to visualize what you want and plant those seeds. Mercury in Aries is also forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius on the New Moon, which will add more depth and intensity to our thinking and conversations.  And it can reveal some big secrets.

On March 11, Venus enters Pisces until April 5. Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces, so it is definitely a happy camper here.  When Venus is in Pisces, we are more compassionate, empathetic and capable of unconditional love.  But emotions can be all over the place, as Pisces is the mutable water sign, after all.  Don't forget to set boundaries in relationships or you could wind up feeling like a martyr.  This is a highly spiritual placement for Venus and our creativity can also flourish.  We should also remember to use this energy to forgive ourselves as well as others.  Since the planet Venus also pertains to finances, try not to make any major economic decisions now because it is far too easy to be gullible now.

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.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological consultation with me. Check out my menu of services at:

https://phoenixscorpio.blogspot.com/p/services-offered.html

I am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.  Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.

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

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
