Well, the month of March is FINALLY coming to a close, but it is ending with just as much volatility as it began. On March 1 Venus turned retrograde in 10 degrees of Aries. Then we had a Lunar Eclipse in 23 degrees of Virgo on March 14 and Mercury went retrograde in 9 degrees of Aries on March 15. We have the second eclipse of the season, a Solar Eclipse in 9 degrees of Aries on March 29. This is the last Solar Eclipse in Aries until 2032. We did have a Solar Eclipse in 19 degrees of Aries on April 8, 2024. Retrograde Mercury will re-enter Pisces on the Solar Eclipse, conjuncting Neptune in Pisces. We also had Mercury and Neptune conjunct in Pisces on March 2, 2025. What happens when Mercury and Neptune are conjunct? Intuition can be heightened, but there can also be deception and nebulous communication. I have a natal Mercury-Neptune conjunction in late Libra and 0 degrees of Scorpio, so I know first-hand how tricky this aspect can be. It definitely has a spiritual side, but there is a certain amount of secrecy associated with it. We will have a third conjunction between Mercury and Neptune in 0 degrees of Aries on April 17, so stay tuned...
What is the astrological theme of this Solar Eclipse in Aries? Big changes are coming, no doubt about it. There is also the connection between Venus and Mercury that stationed retrograde in Aries on and around the degree of the eclipse. That is quite literally a major theme of this year, with all of this back-and-forth action with the planets in Pisces and Aries. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and Aries is the first, so we are dealing with letting go and endings while preparing for new beginnings. Mercury and Venus will return to Aries once they are direct, Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 until October 22 before it takes one last pass in Pisces. Then it moves into Aries on January 26, 2026 for 14 years. And we have Saturn entering Aries on May 24 through September 1, 2025. Then Saturn moves back into Aries on February 14, 2026 until April 13, 2028.
What else is happening on this Solar Eclipse? The only major aspect that Aries Moon makes is a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Gemini. The eclipse is actually sextiling my Moon in Gemini in my 8th house. I prefer to think of it as a saving grace aspect because it can bring optimism, idealism, good luck and generosity. The Solar Eclipse in 9 degrees of Aries falls in my 6th house, but it squares my South Node in Cancer in my 9th house and my North Node in Capricorn in my 3rd house. I feel like I am at a crossroads between the past and my future, and I would surmise that this is an accurate description of how many people are feeling. Anyone who has planets or points (Nodes, Ascendant, Descendant or IC) around 9 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will be feeling the effects of the Solar Eclipse intensely. This eclipse could involve events that trigger a wake-up call that inspires us to act with courage to initiate a fresh start in our lives.
Neptune moves into Aries on March 30 until October 22. Neptune doesn't get very far in Aries before it stations retrograde in 2 degrees of Aries on July 4, 2025. But it will be back in Aries on January 26, 2026 until 2039. Neptune in Aries can inspire us to make our dreams a reality by becoming the hero of our own journey. We might find ourselves becoming more assertive and taking pride in our individuality. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, which is also associated with war. It is not lost on the astrological community that the last time Neptune was in Aries (1861-1875) the United States had the Civil War and Reconstruction.
I don't think that anyone can deny the potential for protest and resistance in the world these days. But we can use Neptune in Aries constructively reclaim our autonomy. Neptune in Aries can feel very disorienting as we enter an age of localism, sovereignty and decentralized power. We need to be mindful of the potential for idealizing a leader or war itself while Neptune is in Aries. Neptune is the great dissolver, but it also involves loss and release before we can reinvent ourselves. Perhaps that is why we are getting a taste of Neptune in Aries this year to acclimate ourselves to its energy before it stakes its claim in Aries for the period of late January 2026 through March 2039.

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:
