Things are about to get even more emotional than
usual. Mars is departing the mutable air
sign of Gemini where things can go two ways very easily on April 23 and moving
into Cancer until June 11, 2021. When
Mars is in Cancer, we are motivated by our emotional needs, and security is
definitely one of those needs. Mars is
not terribly comfortable in Cancer (in fact it is in fall because Mars is
exalted in Capricorn), but it does bring a certain amount of emotional clarity
that was lacking during the recent Mars transit in Gemini. It is easier to take
things too personally when Mars is in Cancer because we tend to be emotionally
protective and feeling vulnerable. Mars has
also been out of bounds since March 21 until May 24, which means that it is
moving past 23 degrees 27 minutes in declination outside of the ecliptic. How does that play out for us? The bottom line is that a planet out of
bounds is more erratic than usual and is like a wild card. You just don’t know how they will react and
with Mars in Cancer, this could play out as extreme moodiness, crabbiness, or
passive-aggressive behavior. Mars in
Cancer is a cardinal sign, so there is a very real possibility that we might
see some displays of assertion on the public stage because cardinal signs love
to initiate action.
You will feel the effects of this out of bounds Mars most
acutely if you have any planets between 10 degrees of Gemini and 20 degrees of
Cancer. I am in the thick of this Mars phenomena,
with my natal Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini, my south node in 8 degrees of
Cancer and my Midheaven in 19 degrees of Cancer. I think it is a safe bet to say it’s not a
good idea to cross me during this Mars out of bound period. It’s never a good idea to get on a Scorpio’s
bad side, but this is a particularly dangerous time to do so. Remember that
Mars is not comfortable expressing anger in the sign of Cancer but with it out
of bounds, all bets are off in terms of how that anger will be expressed. Fair warning…
And, ta-da, we have a Super Full Moon in 7 degrees of
Scorpio coming up on April 26. It doesn’t get more emotionally intense than a
Scorpio Moon, which is fixed water, and this is a Super Full Moon to boot. We currently have a pileup of planets in
fixed signs, including the Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Venus in Taurus, and
Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius. The Full
Moon in Scorpio adds to the fixed energy, emphasizing the qualities of
tenacity, stubbornness and resistance to change that they represent.
We are deeply entrenched in Taurus season. The Sun and Mercury entered Taurus on April
19, inspiring me to tweet:
I am sure no one is surprised when I say that anyone with
planets in the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are going to
feel the biggest impact of this Full Moon in Scorpio. Both Taurus and Scorpio are heavily invested
in security, but Taurus interprets security from a physical and material
perspective, while Scorpio has an emotional and spiritual perspective on
security. So they are seeking to find
some sense of balance during this Full Moon. Uranus in Taurus is also a major
player in this Full Moon. On April 22nd Venus and Uranus were
conjunct in 10 degrees of Taurus, which could have played out as new beginnings
in relationships for some, while others experienced increased volatility in existing
relationships. And this aspect might
have triggered some sudden financial upsets or windfalls for others. On April 24 Mercury will be conjunct Uranus,
which could deliver brilliant ideas or shocking news.
What will be the themes of this Full Moon in Scorpio? The heavy involvement of Uranus in the Full
Moon indicate that freedom and rebellion will be key themes, and the Scorpio
Moon may reveal some shocking secrets and scandals. The pileup of planets in Taurus can involve
the economy, banking and seismic earth changes.
Uranus in Taurus is frequently associated with earthquakes. The Full Moon in Scorpio trines Mars in 2
degrees of Cancer, which could lead to some defensive actions, especially with
Mars out of bounds. We also have
connections to some lunar action of Fall 2020.
We had a New Moon in 23 degrees of Scorpio on November 15; think back to
what fresh starts you implemented in your life back then and reflect on where
they stand now. The Full Moon in Taurus
on October 31 was conjunct Uranus in Taurus, which is eerily similar to the
connection Uranus in Taurus has to this Full Moon. No matter how you dice it,
the prevailing feeling of this Full Moon is that something has to give from all
of the tension with all of these planets in fixed signs forming a
T-square. That’s what T-squares do; they
provide a catalyst for releasing all of that tension.
Scorpio’s ruling planet, Pluto stations retrograde in 26
degrees of Capricorn on April 27 through October 6, 2021, when it stations
direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn. This
will add to the intensity as issues from September and October 2020 will be
revisited. And we can expect a touch of
obsession to be added to the mix for good measure. If you have any relationships
in your life that involve triangles, these will need to be addressed as
well. Pluto retrogrades every year at
this time, and it is a time when we get the opportunity to purge whatever isn’t
working for us so that we can experience real transformation once Pluto is
direct.
If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological
reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading
could provide some much needed clarity and guidance. Check out my menu of services at:

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option

accommodate any budget.

obtaining insight and clarity. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50
which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me
to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are
concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my
in-person Reiki sessions until further notice in order to practice social
distancing. I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions
will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. When it becomes
clearer that the virus no longer poses a threat, I will find a new space to
practice. In the meantime, 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 for payment. I have also written an article about distance
Reiki, which is available at:

I
urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the
protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social
distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when
going outside your home and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine
when you are eligible. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak
from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived
Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
