Mars Conjuncts Neptune in Pisces, Mars and Venus Move into Their Happy Places, and Pluto Stations Retrograde

 







We are on the precipice of a new world, so to speak.  During the past week we have experienced a rare Jupiter-Uranus conjunction on April 20 and an extremely intense full Moon in Scorpio on April 23. On those days I posted:


Okay, if you are still standing, please be advised that the month of April still has a few tricks up its sleeves.  On April 29, Mars and Neptune are conjunct in 28 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect can sometimes get a bad rep because there are myriad ways that it can play out: it can be very romantic, creative, spiritual, delusional or paranoid.  Obviously the best way to channel its energy is to devote yourself to your dreams and goals.  It does have a shadow side of being unrealistic with a penchant for overidealizing partners (relationship red flag) and getting taken advantage of.  Substance abuse can also be an issue with this aspect.  As for me personally, the conjunction is falling in my 6th house and it just so happens that I am having my annual physical on that day.  Ideally, I would like to be practicing more Reiki on that day, but I might be devoting more energy to my own health.  We shall see how this plays out...

Venus is departing the cardinal fire sign of Aries for the fixed earth sign of Taurus on April 29.  Venus rules Taurus (in addition to Libra), so is it is a very happy camper in Taurus.  Venus remains in Taurus until May 23.  When Venus is in Taurus, we are more grounded, rational, nurturing and sensual.  We want to enjoy the finer things in life and commitment is more appealing, which is a marked change from Venus in Aries, which loves the thrill of the chase.  Kindness and common sense prevail with Venus in Taurus.  Since Venus is also associated with finances we can also be more focused on building wealth and saving money. Just be mindful that Venus in Taurus has a tendency to be stubborn and possessive, but otherwise, this should be an enjoyable transit.

On April 30, Mars enters Aries and stays there until June 9.  Mars is definitely in its happy place in Aries because it rules the cardinal fire sign of Aries.  It will be a time of initiation and activity. We will have more confidence and increased drive.  It denotes a period of moving forward and implementing plans.  And, now that Mercury is finally direct, that is a good thing.  Of course, the shadow side of Mars in Aries is being too impulsive in our behavior or having angry outbursts.  But any inertia or lack of clarity in our actions that prevailed when Mars was in Pisces is gone.

May kicks off with Pluto stationing retrograde in 2 degrees of Aquarius on May 2.  Pluto will remain retrograde until October 11.  Pluto is retrograde for about five months every year, but this year it starts out in Aquarius and moves back into Capricorn on September 1 for one last time until November 19.  Then Pluto is in Aquarius until March 8, 2043. When Pluto is retrograde, we need to reckon with our inner shadows, toxic beliefs and patterns and deep-rooted psychological and emotional wounds in order to regenerate.  It is an opportunity to resolve compulsive behaviors and addictions.  When Pluto is in Aquarius, there will be collective transformation, societal upheavals and revolutions.  And Pluto's sojourn into Capricorn will see some structural overhauls and power shifts.  In short, this year's Pluto retrograde will be one big purge period. 

The month of May also features Jupiter moving into Gemini.  I know most of us are still processing the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, but if you would like a sneak peek at how Jupiter in Gemini will play out for you, I encourage you to read my latest article on Jupiter in Gemini 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 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!
