The Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aries Get Very Busy Before Retrograde Venus Re-enters Pisces

 

There is definitely an Aries vibe present these days.  The Sun just entered Aries on March 20, marking the start of the astrological new year as it joined Mercury and Venus.  These three planets frequently travel together in the same sign. I personally have my Sun, Mercury and Venus in Scorpio.

On March 21, Venus in Aries is forming a supportive sextile with Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius.  This will intensify our desire for love and companionship as it becomes a priority in our life.  Existing relationships can become more spiritual. If you are unattached, you could meet someone that you become obsessed with.  So this kicks off a theme of dating for the weekend.

The Sun and Venus are conjunct in 3 degrees of Aries on March 22.  The focus on companionship will continue.  The themes of harmony, pleasure and finances are also emphasized.  Beauty is important to us now, so pampering might be on the agenda for some.  Just don't do anything drastic like plastic surgery now because Venus is retrograde.  Artistic and creative pursuits are also getting a cosmic green light.  I have a natal Sun-Venus conjunction in Scorpio with my Venus retrograde, so I am partial to this aspect.  

The Sun in Aries has its own sextile with Pluto in 3 degrees of  Aquarius on March 23.  This is a day to harness those obsessive or compulsive tendencies to complete difficult tasks because there is a strong need to succeed.  This aspect also amps up our sense of power and attractiveness.  Try to use this power constructively to help others so that you will reap the benefits.

The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 4 degrees of Aries on March 24.  We can expect more mental alertness and an emphasis on communication as ideas are bound to be shared.  Don't be surprised if you wind up taking more short trips now, but with Mercury being retrograde, please allow more time for travel.

Mercury in Aries is forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius on March 25.  We can definitely expect more depth and intensity in our thinking and communication on this day.  Probing and getting to the bottom of things are major themes.  It's also a perfect opportunity to study and do some research into whatever has been intriguing you.

As I mentioned earlier, Venus is retrograde and on March 27, it re-enters Pisces until April 30.  Venus will station direct in 24 degrees of Pisces on April 7.  Venus is exalted in the mutable water sign of Pisces and it was previously in Pisces from January 2 through February 4, 2025.  So if you didn't reap the benefits back then, you have another shot.

When Venus is in Pisces, it is easier to blur personal boundaries and be more idealistic, compassionate and empathetic.  It also fosters creativity and inspires us to engage in more self-care.  We can find it easier to let go of control in relationships too.  But just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Pisces a tendency to be the martyr or victim.  Hopefully we got our gullibility out of the way during the first transit of Venus in Pisces in January and February.

Mercury will be re-entering Pisces on March 29, which is also the day of the Solar Eclipse in 9 degrees of Aries.  More to come on those events in next week's post.

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:
