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 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!
