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

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.

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
