Venus Enters Aries and Jupiter Goes Direct in Cancer

 

Okay, we are still standing after last week's Mars-Uranus square which triggered the bombing of Iran, especially with Mars in Aquarius being the first planet to conjunct the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius of February 17  and this week's Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3.  Now we are about to experience the movement of the two greater benefic planets Venus and Jupiter.

On March 6, 2026 Venus departs its sign of exaltation, Pisces and moves into Aries until March 30. Venus is actually considered to be in detriment in Aries (and Scorpio) because it rules Libra and Taurus, so it is not all that comfortable there.  When Venus is in Aries, there is a strong desire for excitement and a marked lack of patience.  It's all about the thrill of the chase, but the spark can fade quickly.  Spontaneity rules and we can be extremely impulsive.  This pertains to love and money. Be mindful of those two areas in life.

On March 7, Venus and Neptune are conjunct in 1 degree of Aries.  This increases our sensitivity and tendency towards daydreaming.  Fantasizing is very common with this aspect.  If you are single and meet someone new they could feel like a soulmate.  Compassion levels are high when Venus and Neptune merge. But there is also risk of disappointment if you have been in denial about the harsh realities of a toxic relationship.

The Sun and retrograde Mercury are conjunct in 17 degrees of Pisces on March 7 too.  Don't be surprised if you hear from some ghosts on that day.  It could be a friend, foe or ex-lover that reaches out to you on that day and there is the potential for something to be clarified now.  Mercury retrograde is notorious for stirring up people from our past and in the mutable water sign of sentimental Pisces, feelings can be intensified.

On March 8, Venus and Saturn are conjunct in 2 degrees of Aries.  This is a testing aspect and poses a harsh reality check.  Distance, separation and an inability to connect on a meaningful level are all possible manifestations.  Relationships as well as finances could be affected.  But if you do meet someone now it could be someone much older or the relationships could have a very karmic undertone.

Jupiter is finally going direct in 15 degrees of Cancer on March 10.  Jupiter has been retrograde since November 11, 2025 when it backtracked in 25 degrees of Cancer.  I have my natal Jupiter in Cancer, as well as my South Node, Midheaven and Uranus, so I have been feeling particularly frustrated in the luck and expansion department.  But this is definitely a day to rejoice because we can feel freer to act on our emotional intelligence.  Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer but when it was retrograde it wasn't operating at full strength.  We could have felt held back emotionally or in matters pertaining to our home lives.  Now we have a cosmic green light to act on projects that nurture our soul.  The planet of luck, faith and optimism is back on track and will continue its transit in Cancer until June 30.  

Both Venus and Jupiter are in cardinal signs now, so we are definitely up for initiating some action.  Hopefully we all will feel a boost of energy to get moving in a positive direction.

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:
