Mars and Saturn Work Together, Uranus Takes Some Hits and a Full Moon in Leo

 

February is the shortest month of the year, but it is no slouch in terms of action in 2025.  On February 4, Venus moved into Aries and Jupiter stationed direct in Gemini after being retrograde since October 2024.

On February 9, Mars in Cancer will be exactly trining Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces. This is a big deal because it means that these two planets are actually working together.  I have a natal Mars-Saturn square, so I know first-hand what it means to have these two planets at cross purposes with each other. When Mars is trining Saturn, ambition and perseverance rule.  It is a perfect time to take on those hard tasks to get the job done.  Patience and self-discipline prevail.  It's also possible to obtain support from authority figures, so get busy this day.  Your efforts will pay off.

Mercury in Aquarius will be squaring Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus on February 10.  This aspect can bring excitement to our daily routines, but it can cause upsets and nervous tension.  We can be feeling like excitement junkies, but the potential exists for us to miss important information.

The Sun in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus on February 11 and this is bound to generate uneasy feelings regarding impending changes.  The ego is strong, so watch out for angry outbursts.  The best advice that I can give for coping with this aspect is to channel this energy constructively by being proactive about change.

And the piece de resistance arrives on February 12 with a Full Moon in 24 degrees of Leo. The Full Moon in Leo is also called the Snow Moon because it tends to be a time when there is snow in winter.  But it also emphasizes creativity, self-expression and stepping into the spotlight.  Embrace that inner child that is crying to get out. Be bold because courage is also associated with the Full Moon in Leo.

The Full Moon in Leo also squares Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus, which can manifest as rapid mood changes, irritability, impulsiveness and a general lack of patience.  Feelings of rebellion are likely and we could be encountering outbursts from friends or family.

The Full Moon is also opposing Mercury in 27 degrees of Aquarius, which could play out as making decisions that actually liberate us.  There is also a T-square configuration involving the  Sun in 24 degrees of Aquarius, the Moon in 24 degrees of Leo and Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus.  This involves themes of freedom, surprises, and potential volatility in currency.  Technology secrets could also come to light.

Obviously this Full Moon will have the strongest impact on anyone who has planets in 22 to 27 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio.  Once again, I am right in the cross hairs of this Full Moon with my Venus and Ceres in Scorpio and Pluto in Leo.  The Full Moon falls in my 11th house conjunct my Pluto and inconjuncts my Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house.  So this definitely won't be a quiet time for me...

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:

Venus and Jupiter Are on the Move Launching the Month of February

 

I don't know about you, but I am delighted to see the month of January coming to a close.  It is an understatement to say that it has not been an easy or pleasant month.  As an astrologer, I fully realize that 2025 is a year of transition, but most people that I know are still reeling from the effects of January and sorely in need of some kind of break.

So I am thrilled that the shortest month of the year, February, begins on February 1 with a conjunction between Venus and Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces.  Venus conjunct Neptune can bring new romance, compassion, empathy, creativity and sensitivity.  It can heighten the spiritual bonding in existing relationships. Both planets are very happy in the sign of Pisces.  But we do need to be mindful of the potential pitfalls of this conjunction.  Venus conjunct Neptune can also bring disillusionment if we have been in denial about any existing problems in relationships or a tendency to overidealize a partner.  But it does stimulate our imagination and that can be a good thing.  I say that we make the most of it after an extremely challenging January...

More good vibes are in store for us on February 3 when Mercury in Aquarius is trining Jupiter in 11 degrees of Gemini. This can bring a sense of optimism and good news.  It is also very future-oriented.  It is a highly social vibe and enhances communication because both planets are in air signs, so don't waste the positive energy that this aspect promises.

Venus moves into Aries on February 4 through March 27 but it will be stationing retrograde in 10 degrees of Aries on March 1. It will station direct in 24 degrees of Pisces on April 12 and re-enter Aries on April 30.  Venus remains in Aries until June 6.  Yes, folks, we have another Venus retrograde this year (they occur approximately every 18 months) which will do a number on our relationships and finances. I was born during a Venus retrograde in Scorpio, so I am all too familiar with Venus retrograde.

But what can we expect when Venus is in Aries?  Venus in Aries is more spontaneous and direct as it craves the thrill of the chase.  It has a very live in the moment vibe which is quite different from Venus in Pisces.  Venus in Aries can also affect our finances by increasing our desire for instant gratification, so be careful not to overspend. But if you miss Venus in Pisces, never fear because Venus will return to Pisces on March 27 until April 30.  We will get another shot at Venus in its sign of exaltation, so if you missed out the first time from January 2 to February 4, you get a do-over.

We have another major astrological event on February 4.  Jupiter stations direct in 11 degrees of Gemini at 4:40 a.m.  Jupiter has been retrograde since October 9, 2024 when it slowed down in 21 degrees of Gemini. Jupiter will remain in Gemini until June 9, 2025, when it enters Cancer, its sign of exaltation. When Jupiter moves forward in Gemini, we can be presented with new opportunities and financial rewards.  Our faith is restored and we can start to feel lucky again. This is another cosmic break that we should be grateful for.

Aquarius Season is in Full Force as Mercury Enters Aquarius, A New Moon in Aquarius and Uranus Stations Direct

 

The Sun entered Aquarius on January 19 and Mercury is joining the Sun and Pluto on January 27.  Mercury will remain in Aquarius until February 14 and we have a New Moon in 9 degrees of Aquarius on January 29. Uranus, which rules the sign of Aquarius, will station direct in 23 degrees of Taurus after being retrograde since September 1, 2024.

What can we expect when Mercury is in the fixed air sign of Aquarius?  When Mercury is in Aquarius, we tend to embrace thinking outside of the box as we are drawn to being more progressive and objective with our ideas and communication.  We will be more spontaneous and original.  Quite literally, anything is possible.  The shadow side of Mercury in Aquarius is a tendency to hurt other people's feelings because we find it easy to overlook or rationalize them.  Our sensitive side can be missing in action.  We are also prone to have issues with authority due to the independence and stubborn nature associated with Aquarius.  So while we can definitely have some progressive breakthroughs we are not exactly going to be the most empathetic communicators.

The first New Moon of 2025 occurs on January 29 in 9 degrees of Aquarius.  A New Moon in Aquarius has themes of truth, awakening and people coming together for a common purpose.  Mercury is conjunct Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius on the New Moon, which can entail secrets being revealed, protests because Aquarius is a rebel, and the potential for revolution.  The real perk of this powerhouse New Moon is that it trines Jupiter in 11 degrees of Gemini.  This places an added emphasis on truth, social media, a new consciousness and the future.  Of course, it is perfect for setting new intentions as all New Moons are.  This New Moon also marks the start of the Lunar New Year of the Snake.

If you are wondering where you should be setting those intentions, look at your chart to see where 9 degrees of Aquarius falls.  It happens to fall in my 4th house of home, family, psychological roots and beginnings and endings in life.  It is also conjunct my natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house, so this is a major New Moon for me.  If you don't know how it impacts you in terms of fresh starts, please consider getting an astrological consultation with me.

On January 30, Uranus will station direct in 23 degrees of Taurus.  Uranus has been retrograde since September 1, 2024, when it stationed retrograde in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Be prepared for more external changes rather than internal changes pertaining to money, values and relationships.  If you have any planets around 23 degrees of  the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, you are probably going to be feeling quite restless and craving some changes.  Whatever you have been ruminating about since September, you will experience changes now, possibly through sudden occurrences and upheavals. The Moon will be in Aquarius until 5:52 p.m. and will be squaring Uranus in Taurus at 6:29 a.m., so if you wake up feeling restless, this could be the reason.  It promises to be a wild and unpredictable day for sure. Uranus will be opposing my Venus in Scorpio in the 2nd house, so while I don't know how it will play out, I do accept that something will be going down financially for me with this Uranus station. It goes without saying that the power of a planet is intensified whenever a planet stations either direct or retrograde.  Uranus is transiting my 8th house opposing my natal Venus, and these are both money houses...

Venus and Saturn Meet up in Pisces, the Sun Enters Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus Gets Some Good Vibes from Mars and Mercury

 

We are still on a roller coaster ride in the month of January, especially on the heels of the first Full Moon of 2025 that occurred on January 13 in 24 degrees of Cancer.  On January 18, Venus and Saturn are conjunct in 15 degrees of Pisces.  Spoiler alert, folks, this is not going to be a feel-good day.  When Venus and Saturn hook up, we can expect feelings of sadness and isolation.  Venus might be exalted in Pisces, but when it is conjunct Saturn, it can also trigger feelings of victimhood.  We will probably find it difficult to express love and affection on this day.  And we might experience a restrictive influence (thank you, Saturn) on finances.  The plus side of January 18 is that the Moon does enter Libra that evening, which might help us in terms of achieving emotional balance.

The Sun enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius on January 19.  Our focus will shift to more innovative thinking, intellectual pursuits, communication, group activities, a need for freedom, humanitarian issues and technological advancements.  And hopefully we will attain a more detached perspective on the events swirling around us.  On January 21, the Sun will conjunct Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius.  This should increase our power and ability to influence outcomes in our lives but it can lead to power struggles.  Paranoia can also accompany a meet-up between the Sun and Pluto.  Drama or upsets are possible manifestations.  The bottom line with the Sun and Pluto interactions is a strong theme of transformation and rebirth.

I have also included the chart for the United States Presidential Inauguration of January 20, 2025.  The Moon might be in Libra on this day, but it is anything but peace loving.  I am by no means predicting violence on this day, but I would like to briefly discuss the aspects of the day that this Moon makes. The Moon in Libra is inconjunct Saturn in 16 degrees of Pisces and this aspect has a strong theme of responsibilities making it difficult to express warmth due to fear and guilt.  We could feel a lack of emotional support.  I have this aspect natally, so I can attest to that.  Patience and self-control will be important tools for surviving this day.

The Moon in Libra will also be inconjunct Venus in 17 degrees of Pisces on January 20, which can increase tension between loved ones.  Unresolved karmic issues could surface and some kind of adjustment will need to be made. The Moon in Libra is also squaring Mercury in 18 degrees of Capricorn, which can add disagreements, moodiness and opinionated voices to the mix.  Emotional biases could influence our thoughts.  Try to channel this energy through mental work or cleaning up your home.  The Moon in Libra is also squaring Mars in 24 degrees of Cancer, indicating that our passionate desires can be accompanied by a short fuse.  It will be very easy to be overly defensive or cruel on this day.  Use courage to face your pain.

On January 20, the Moon in Libra will also be inconjunct Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus.  This is bringing an urge for change, but it also indicates tension, anxiety and uncertainty.  Rapid mood swings and emotional outbursts are likely.  And the Moon in Libra is opposing Chiron in 19 degrees of Aries, which can trigger past wounds and traumas to threaten our emotional security.  It's time to face our fears pertaining to abandonment or loss.  Our intuition and emotions will be running high on this day.

On January 23, Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus finally get some breaks.  Mars in 23 degrees of Cancer forms a supportive sextile to it.  This should increase our desire for fun and excitement.  It is a perfect time to implement changes.  Sextiles represent opportunities that can arise in our lives.  It is also a good time to break away from relationships that limit our self-expression or freedom.  

Mercury in 23 degrees of Capricorn is trining Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus on January 23.  This will open our minds to new possibilities and emphasize communication as our intuition is on high alert.  There could also be exciting news circulating on this day.  This will be very welcome after a tumultuous month.

The still waters are literally running quite deep this week.  On January 11, the North Node moves into Pisces while the South Node moves into Virgo until July 26, 2026. This is a big change from the Aries North Node/Libra South influence that we have had since July 17, 2023. The North Node in the cardinal fire sign of Aries encouraged us to take action in demonstrating our independence and sense of self. The Nodes of the Moon change signs approximately every 18 months.  The last time we had the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo was June 23, 2006 through December 18, 2007.

When the North Node enters Pisces, it will be conjunct Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces, emphasizing the search for a deeper meaning in life.  There will be an exact conjunction between the North Node and Neptune in 28 degrees of Pisces on February 7, 2025. The North Node in Pisces also requires that we stretch out of our comfort zone to find meaning in something that isn't tangible.  It encourages us to strive towards being more compassionate and intuitive while focusing on healing emotionally, spiritually and physically.  Forgiveness is also a key theme with the North Node in Pisces.  Both Pisces and Virgo are associated with healing.  The South Node in Virgo is asking us to release our perfectionism, overanalytical patterns and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.  Fortunately, the nodes will be in mutable signs, so it should be easier to be flexible. The new nodal placement in Pisces and Virgo underscores the themes of dreams vs. practicality.  

On January 12, 2025, we have retrograde Mars in 27 degrees of Cancer trining Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces.  This is a very positive aspect for spiritual actions, compassion, acts of kindness and it fosters creativity. So make the most of this day.

There is a Full Moon in 24 degrees of Cancer on January 13.  It is conjunct Mars in 27 degrees of Cancer, so don't be surprised if there is a lot of anger being displayed.  The Moon rules Cancer, so it is bound to be an extremely emotional day. Primal emotions are out in full force.  Power issues will be emphasized. Emotional and practical issues are also big themes on this Full Moon.  We are still under the influence of the Mars-Pluto opposition that occurred on January 3rd.  

What else is happening astrologically on this Full Moon?  Chiron in 19 degrees of Aries is involved in a T-square with the Sun in 24 degrees of Capricorn and the Moon in 24 degrees of Cancer.  This could trigger old emotional wounds and also echoes the Solar Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in 19 degrees of Aries.  On the plus side, the Sun in Capricorn is trining Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus, which should make it easier to express our individuality, give us the freedom to experiment, achieve breakthroughs and implement positive changes.  The Full Moon in Cancer is also forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus, which could provide us with opportunities for change.  I'm all in for that, although I am fully aware that the Sun is conjunct my natal Chiron in 24 degrees of Capricorn in my 4th house, so I figure that there is a strong theme of healing featured for me.  The Full Moon in Cancer is also conjunct my Midheaven, Uranus and Jupiter in Cancer, so it will be an important Full Moon for me.

Venus in Pisces is exactly squaring Jupiter in 13 degrees of Gemini on January 14. When these two benefics are hanging out, it is very easy to overindulge through food, substance abuse, or financially overspending.  This is quite literally the too much of a good thing aspect.  But it is great for socializing...

Mars in Cancer is once again quite active on January 15. when the Sun in Capricorn opposes it exactly when both planets are in 25 degrees of their respective signs.  Conflict is possible as power is emphasized.  We are probably going to feel more assertive, but patience is required as we will have to tamp down our egos. The most constructive use of this aspect is to try to channel the energy into exercise or physical labor.

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!
