The Aquarius Party Continues as Mercury Joins the Fray and Uranus Acts Up

 

Aquarius season is officially here with both the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius. We should definitely be feeling the need to find freedom and let our freak flag fly. The ruling planet of Aquarius, Uranus, even did its part by stationing direct on January 27 after a five-month nap.  On that day I posted:

The major astrological event of today is Uranus stationing direct after being retrograde since late August. All of the planets are now direct and we can proceed with implementing change. #astrology

Mercury will be entering Aquarius during the coming week, but it has a final aspect in the sign of Capricorn that will impact us before it leaves.  On February 2, Mercury in Capricorn will form a supportive sextile to Neptune in 26 degrees of Pisces.  Pay attention to your dreams with this one, engage in some meditation as insights can be gleaned and let your creativity flow.  This is one of the more delightful aspects of the month, so enjoy it.

Mercury enters Aquarius on February 5 and stays there until February 23. We will definitely be primed for thinking outside of the box.  Originality, innovation and eccentricity are calling the shots as we hunger for knowledge.  Mercury wastes no time getting busy when it conjuncts Pluto in Aquarius about an hour after its entrance into Aquarius.  This will add another layer of intensity to communication.  It can also be a time of psychological analysis and getting to the root of problems.  But please be mindful that there is the potential for mental power struggles...  After all, Aquarius is the fixed air sign and it can be stubborn.

Venus in Capricorn will be trining Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus on February 7.  Uranus is really feeling its oats these days now that it is direct and this aspect will give us the urge to try something new in love or with our finances.  We want to break free of any restrictions in relationships.  It's possible to meet new people now and a financial windfall could be in the offing because this is a trine, so any surprises that are delivered should be pleasant.  Trust me on this one because I have a natal trine involving Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer.

But Uranus kicks into high gear on February 8 when the Sun in Aquarius is exactly squaring Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus. Mark my words, this is not going to be a day with a peaceful easy feeling, to paraphrase that old Eagles song.  It will be characterized by a quite uneasy feeling, anxiety and uncertainty as we sense impending change upon us.  We are aware that change is inevitable, but the issue is that we don't know how or when it will occur.  This is a very volatile aspect that can lead to unpredictable behavior and ego conflicts.  It is also leading into the New Moon in 20 degrees of Aquarius that will occur on February 9.  Uranus will be a major player in that New Moon because the Moon will be squaring it.  I will cover that more in next week's blog post.

I would also like to announce that I have had a second article published about Lunar Phases on PowerFortunes.com.  I posted about it on January 16:

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:

I also wanted to note that in an ironic twist of fate, one of the latest variants of COVID is EG.5, with a nickname of Eris.  Sound familiar--the Goddess of Discord?  Apparently, COVID cases and hospitalizations are on the rise...

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus twice. Stay safe and healthy, everyone! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology

A Full Moon in Leo and a Lucky Break with Jupiter in Pisces Sextiling Uranus in Taurus

 

The month of February is zipping right along.  Mars in Capricorn was trining Uranus in Taurus on February 8, inspiring me to tweet:

The major aspect of the day is Mars in Capricorn trining Uranus in Taurus. This can be very liberating in terms of helping us to act in busting out of restrictive situations. But the course of action might be surprising. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) February 8, 2022

On February 11, 2022, we have the third and final conjunction of Mercury and Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  The first one occurred on December 30, 2021 and the second one happened on January 29, 2022 when Mercury was retrograde.  I encourage you all to think back to what was going on in your lives back then.  Mercury and Pluto hooking up in Capricorn can bring big reveals about deep-rooted secrets and they have strong themes of power, control, force and concentrated energy.  This could be an important day in the United States because this aspect touches on the upcoming Pluto Return for America, which is in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  The first hit of the United States Pluto Return occurs on February 22, 2022 and we will feel it again in July and December 2022.  So let’s just say that we will be feeling it all year and into next year.  Big changes are afoot…

Mercury is entering the sign of Aquarius on Valentine’s Day, February 14 and it stays in Aquarius until March 9.  When Mercury is in Aquarius, our communication becomes more spontaneous, progressive and objective.  We are more inclined to think outside of the box.  It’s a very future-oriented sign and we could have a tendency to rationalize our emotions.

A heart-centered Full Moon in 27 degrees of Leo is in store for us on February 16, just two days after Valentine’s Day.  The vibe should hopefully be romantic and hopeful as we seek to find a balance between the opposing principles of balancing our individual needs vs. the community.  Since this Full Moon occurs just two days after Valentine’s Day, when the Moon was in its home sign of Cancer for the early part of the day when it opposes Venus, Mars and Pluto in Capricorn, we are bound to still be feeling some of its intensity and drama.  Venus and Mars are conjunct in 16 degrees of Capricorn on the Full Moon, which can bring sudden new relationships or social connections. But Mars and Venus are traveling quite closely together until early April, so if you are unattached, you will have plenty of chances for love.  The Full Moon in Leo is also forming an irritating inconjunct or quincunx (150 degrees apart) with Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn which could lead to compulsive or obsessive behavior, lots of intensity and a tendency for the ego to be overpowered by karmic habits.

This Full Moon in Leo might also cause you to reassess whatever projects you initiated on the New Moon in Leo back on August 8, 2021.  If you began a relationship back then either you are taking it to the next level or calling it quits if it is no longer viable.  Just remember that there are strong themes of courage, passion, creativity and love involved with a Full Moon in Leo.  The Full Moon is also forming a Grand Cross with the Nodes of the Moon, which changed signs in January.  The Full Moon is squaring the North Node in 27 degrees of Taurus and the South Node in 27 degrees of Scorpio.  Add in the Sun in 27 degrees of Aquarius to the mix and we have a tremendous amount of fixed energy.  All of this fixed energy entails determination, tenacity and the ability to stick to our truth as we pursue our soul path.

But the best day so far, probably one of the luckiest days of the year, falls on February 17 when Jupiter in 11 degrees of Pisces forms an exact and  supportive sextile to Uranus in 11 degrees of Taurus. This is an aspect that creates opportunities for expansion, growth, creativity and freedom.  Good luck could crop up in our lives seemingly out of the blue and our finances might change for the better in the form of sudden windfalls.  We are being pushed out of our comfort zone but it won’t be that difficult to experiment with something new because Jupiter in Pisces is protecting us.  Make a little effort and you should see rewarding results.  If you gamble, this is the day to buy a lottery ticket.

I have a natal Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Cancer in my 10^th house,  so I am very familiar with the energy of these two planets when they meet up.  I am excited about this aspect because Jupiter is transiting my 5^th house and Uranus is in my 7^th house.

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. And don’t forget that if you are stumped for an unusual Valentine’s Day gift (Mercury does enter Aquarius on February 14), please consider giving your loved one an astrology reading. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?
