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...

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:
