Mars Squares Off with Uranus, Moves into Pisces and a Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

 

Here we go again.  Mars in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on February 27.  I promise that this is the last of the planets in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus, which has been quite an intense experience for anyone who has planets in the late degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio in 2026.

Mars squaring Uranus is characterized by impatience, frustration, irrational anger and rebellion against restrictive influences. It can be accident prone energy and the potential for violence can't be ruled out.  I have my natal Pluto in 26 degrees of Leo, so Mars is opposing my Pluto and Uranus is squaring it. Good times aren't exactly in the cards.  But Uranus in Taurus is forming a supportive sextile to my natal Uranus in Cancer so I am holding out hope for some positive change.  This is a very volatile vibe, so I am cautioning everyone to be careful on this day.

The month of February began with a Full Moon in Leo on February 1, but it will end on a more harmonious note on February 28 when Mercury (retrograde) and Venus are conjunct in 21 degrees of Pisces.  Communications should be calmer as it will be easier to share love and affection.  This aspect encourages cooperation and diplomacy.  It also fosters creativity and holds the promise of positive financial news.  

Mars moves into Pisces on March 2 and stays there until April 9.  When Mars is in Pisces our motivation shifts to pursuing more spiritual or emotional goals.  Compassion is a driving force and we are less inclined towards confrontation.  This is mutable water energy, so we can be very chameleon like and adaptable.  But there is the shadow side of confusion and passive-aggressive behavior.  There is a certain nebulous quality that can cause confusion, especially with Mercury retrograde in Pisces.

There is a total blood moon Lunar Eclipse in 12 degrees of Virgo on March 3.  This one has major themes of letting go, surrendering, not trying to be perfect and trusting in the process.  It's a tall order to fill.  Logic versus intuition and this eclipse is opposing its ruling planet Mercury in 20 degrees of Pisces, which is also retrograde.  We are going to need to release some old mental patterns but the retrograde status of Mercury indicates that we will undoubtedly experience some confusion.  Trust me, this is a complicated Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and while we can't expect to have everything figured out, there are some guideposts.

Let's break it down.  The Moon in Virgo is conjunct the South Node in 8 degrees of Virgo, further emphasizing the karmic release theme.  We need to let go of being too controlling, perfect, overly critical and to be of service to others to the point that it harms us. That Virgo Moon is also opposing the asteroid Pallas Athena in 12 degrees of Pisces.  So we have the potential for some aggressive behavior which has a way of emerging on Full Moons, there is also the likelihood of acquiring some wisdom.  Pallas Athena is the asteroid known as the warrior goddess, but strategic intelligence. But this Virgo Moon is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Cancer, which encourages self-compassion and is a boost for doing what nurtures our soul. Keep that in mind.

This Lunar Eclipse is squaring my natal Moon in Gemini in my 8th house and forming an exact sextile to my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st house, so I have no doubt that this will be highly charged and emotional eclipse that requires some restructuring in my life.

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:
