Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus for the Last Time, Mercury Squaring Mars and the Sun Enters Gemini

 

The Sun and Uranus will be conjunct in 27 degrees of Taurus on May 17 for the last time in our lives.  Unless you plan on being alive in another 84 years, that is.  The Sun and Uranus meet up once a year, but this is the final conjunction in Taurus because Uranus will enter Gemini on July 7 and they will meet up in the mutable air sign for the next seven years. Yes, Uranus does slide back into Taurus for one final pass on November 7, 2025 through April 26. 2026 to wrap up unfinished business with changes.  The Sun and Uranus have been conjunct in Taurus since 2018.  I am positive that you are not the same person you were back in 2018 and I know that I am not.

When the Sun meets up with Uranus, there are strong themes of unexpected change, a desire for freedom and rebellion.  This particular conjunction is also bringing back themes of that Full Moon in 22 degrees of Scorpio on May 12 because it opposed Uranus in Taurus.  We might be getting more closure or clarity regarding whatever went down then.  We are bound to be experiencing urges to create a sense of stability (Taurus) in our lives by making some big changes.  Don't be afraid to stretch out of your comfort zone and do not resist the changes that are coming. What was that old line: resistance is futile? Unexpected events and opportunities can occur to help us make grounded changes.  For me personally, this aspect is exactly sextile my natal Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house. So this should  be very interesting, to say the least...

On the following day, May 18, Mercury in Taurus is exactly squaring Mars in 13 degrees of Leo.  We can expect heightened irritability, impulsive behavior and tempers will flare quite quickly.  Feelings of aggressiveness will no doubt prevail, which can lead to arguments and displays of open hostility.  When Mercury is squaring Mars, it's best not to make important decisions.  Both planets are in fixed signs, which doesn't leave much room for negotiation.  Anyone who has fixed planets or points (including the Ascendant, IC, Descendant, MC or Nodes of the Moon) in 10-16 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio will be feeling the effect of this aspect big time.  It is squaring my natal Saturn in 12 degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house, so here I go again...

It's time for a lighter vibe on May 20 when the Sun enters the mutable air sign of Gemini.  We should be feeling more light-hearted and open to meeting new people in addition to embracing different ideas.  The focus is on communication and multi-tasking as we seek to connect with others.  We do need to be mindful of the tendency not to overanalyze or become too scattered, though.

The Sun in Gemini forms a supportive sextile to Neptune in 1 degree of Aries on May 22.  Our sensitivity, intuition, imagination and creativity will be firing on all jets. The opportunity to make our dreams a reality exists and we can also find ourselves with more empathy for others.  It is definitely a day to explore our idealistic side, so make the most of it.

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.

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.

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.

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:
