A Kinder, Gentler Vibe This Week with Sextiles, Trines and Mercury Direct


 



We are finally getting a break this week from the March madness and I am not talking about basketball.  In March we had two eclipses on top of Venus and Mercury retrograde in Aries and Pisces.

The positive aspects really kick into gear on April 4.  Saturn in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 24 degrees of Taurus.  This is truly a saving grace aspect for constructive changes.  Saturn and Uranus are not exactly the best of friends; they were squaring each other in Aquarius and Taurus during 2021 and 2022. Saturn represents the old guard, the status quo and authority while Uranus is all about the future, change and rebellion.  Sextiles provide us with opportunities that must be taken.  If we don't take advantage of the opportunities that sextiles provide, the old adage "if you snooze you lose" applies. The bottom line is that we will actually have the ability to have the past and future work together.  The old structures can work with that revolutionary urge to create the foundations for a better future. We get to experience this aspect two more times: on August 11, 2025 when Saturn is in Aries and Uranus in Gemini.  Both planets will be in 1 degree of their respective signs.  On January 19, 2026, Saturn will be back in 27 degrees of Pisces and retrograde Uranus will be in 27 degrees of Taurus. The planets Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are teasing us this year with previews of their forays into the signs of Aries and Gemini before they settle in for the duration in 2026.

Mars in Cancer is also sextiling Uranus in 24 degrees of Taurus on April 4.  This aspect should increase our desire for fun and excitement.  Mars isn't terribly comfortable in Cancer, so it can be a tad defensive in radical expressions of force, but it also encourages us to take risks.  So feel free to go for it...

Also on April 4, Mars in Cancer is trining Saturn in 24 degrees of Pisces.  Mars and Saturn aren't best buddies either, so it is a welcome change when these two planets are functioning on a cooperative level.  Trines are even luckier than sextiles because they just seem to bring good things to us.  Mars trining Saturn is perfect for tackling difficult tasks because we have more strength, ambition and perseverance. We are more focused and can work in a controlled manner.

The Sun in Aries is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 16 degrees of Gemini on April 6.  This is an extremely positive vibe that brings opportunities for hope, optimism and good luck.  It can also deliver material or spiritual growth.

Venus in Pisces is trining Mars in 25 degrees of Cancer on April 6 as well.  This can be a boon for our love life as it reveals our softer, more tender side.  It also stimulates creativity.

On April 7 we have some really good news, quite literally.  Mercury stations direct in 24 degrees of Pisces after being retrograde since March 15 in 9 degrees of Aries. This has been a really grueling Mercury retrograde because it began in Aries with hot tempers and backtracked into Pisces on March 29, which tended to muddle and obscure communication even more.  If you felt like you were in a fog, having Mercury retrograde move into Pisces on a Solar Eclipse is the culprit.  It certainly didn't help matters having Mercury retrograde during eclipse season. Mercury retrograde is always irritating, but eclipses and Venus retrograde add to the mayhem.  Mercury will be direct on April 7, will move back into Aries on April 16 and will clear its retrograde shadow on April 25. But we can start to experience some relief in communication, transportation and electronic matters starting on April 7.  

Venus in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 25 degrees of Taurus on April 8.  This can make us crave fun and excitement, as well as the potential for good luck with finances.  It is associated with windfalls and can also attract new romantic partners if we put ourselves out there.

The astrological landscape will change next week with a Full Moon in Libra on April 12, but more on that in my next post. Feel free to enjoy the relatively calmer weather this week while it lasts...

I am no longer posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), but I am posting daily on Blue Sky Social as danceofphoenix@danceofphoenix.bsky.social. There is an astrological community starting there called AstroSphere. The link is https://bsky.app/profile/danceofphoenix.bsky.social.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological consultation with me. I offer consultations on Zoom too. Check out my menu of services at:

https://phoenixscorpio.blogspot.com/p/services-offered.html

I am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.  Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a combination reading which offers the option of a 30-minute astrology consultation with a one-question tarot reading for only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget. I also have a one-question tarot reading for only $15. 

My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Blue Sky Social at: 

https://phoenixscorpio.blogspot.com/p/services-offered.html

A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice. If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.  Or you can send a contribution using Zelle and my phone number 617-304-2205.

Additionally, I am available for tarot readings by telephone.  I use the Celestial Tarot Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols.  A tarot reading is another great option for obtaining insight and clarity. I offer a 24-card tarot card reading for $50 which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com. Just let me know which type of consultation you want with your birth date info.  Or you can send a payment to my Venmo account at Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7 or Zelle using my phone number 617-304-2205.

In 2020, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website. April horoscopes are up now and I have a link to my monthly forecasts at Horoscope Junkie.  Check it out at:

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:
