Mercury and Venus Enter Pisces While Mars and Jupiter Clash


 



How is everyone surviving the month of February so far?  It kicked off with a roaring Full Moon in Leo on February 1. And two days later we had Uranus station direct in Taurus for its final run in Taurus before it enters Gemini on April 25 for the next seven years.  As I have mentioned previously February, although a short month, will pack quite the punch with Saturn moving into Aries, a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries and Mercury retrograde.  The upcoming week will probably be the least astrologically active.

On February 6, Mercury enters Pisces for an extended stay until April 14 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde on February 26.  When Mercury is in Pisces, communication tends to be more dreamy, intuitive and creative but we can be prone to escapist fantasies.  This will be especially true when Mercury is retrograde, which is happening from February 26 through March 20.  Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini, so it is not as focused in the mutable water sign of Pisces. And if you have any personal planets in the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you will experience heightened sensitivity to your environment and more vivid dreams. When I say personal planets, I mean the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus because our identity, emotions, communication, values (including what and whom we love) and action are affected. Our mental processes will be more fluid. Mercury will be conjunct the North Node in 9 degrees of Pisces on February 12, so watch for fated conversations as new information can be revealed that impacts our future.  The North Node represents our soul's destination.

Venus will move into Pisces on February 10 until March 6.  Venus is exalted in Pisces, so it is a very happy camper here.  Unconditional love and soul-centered connections are associated with Venus in Pisces.  Creativity soars and we can feel higher levels of compassion.  Our defenses are dissolved when Venus is in Pisces as our armor comes down. We find it easier to get in touch with our vulnerability, but boundaries can get blurred, so be mindful not to lose yourself.  Don't forget that the shadow side of Pisces can involve being a victim or martyr. We don't want to fall into that trap.

Mars in Aquarius will be forming an irritating inconjunct with Jupiter in 16 degrees of Cancer on February 12.  Inconjuncts always require some kind of adjustment because the two planets are in signs that are definitely not on the same page.  Assertiveness and over-extension are the major themes with these two planets inconjunct. Try to be patient and reflect, even though it will be challenging to do so.  Don't rush into big decisions, take risks or start arguments.  And be mindful not to make promises that you can't keep.  I know that I will be feeling this aspect because my Mars is in 14 degrees of Aquarius and my Midheaven is in 19 degrees of Cancer.  So I will definitely have to practice what I am preaching...

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.

Pisces Season is Here as Mercury and the Sun Dive into the Mutable Water Sign



Mercury enters Pisces on February 14, just in time for some sweet talking on Valentine's Day.  When Mercury is in Pisces, we are thinking more with our hearts than with our heads.  It's a big change from Mercury in Aquarius, which is more cool and rational.  Mercury in Pisces is also more prepared to mentally do a deep dive within, as it lets us be more sensitive and intuitive. Our imagination is heightened when Mercury is in Pisces, which is a boon for writers, artists and musicians.  It favors creativity.  It's also the best time to trust our gut feelings in the decision-making process.  Mercury in Pisces is very introspective, but given the mutable quality of Pisces and the fact that it is a water sign, it can also bring some confusion and a lack of clarity.  Mercury will remain in Pisces until March 3, but due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde on March 15, it will dip back into Pisces on March 29 and stay in Pisces until April 16.  So we are getting lots more of this Pisces energy.

We also still have Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, although they are preparing to briefly enter Aries this year temporarily.  Neptune enters Aries on March 30, but it will station retrograde in 2 degrees of Aries on July 4 and re-enter Pisces on October 22 to complete its unfinished business until it moves back into Aries on January 27, 2026.  Saturn will move into Aries on May 24, station retrograde in 1 degrees of Aries on July 13 and move back into Pisces until February 14, 2026.  And we have the North Node in Pisces until July 26, 2026.  To further add to the Piscean vibe, we have a Venus retrograde coming up on March 1 which starts out in 10 degrees of Aries, but moves back into Pisces from March 27 through April 30.  So this year has a very heavy Pisces/Aries vibration going down this year.  Pisces is the 12th and last sign of the zodiac, while Aries is the 1st sign of the zodiac.  We are quite literally straddling between two worlds.  We are dealing with the sentimental attachment to the old world (Pisces) while chomping at the bit to start the new age (Aries). When the Sun moves into Aries on March 20, it is considered to be the astrological New Year.  A major theme of this year is the end of an era, but we have lots of unfinished business to deal with first.

The Sun enters Pisces on March 18.  As a Scorpio, I personally love this time of year.  Altruistic feelings and dreams feature prominently while spirituality is emphasized. Empathy and compassion are running high and creativity soars.  A major theme of Pisces is letting go and surrendering.  We just need to be mindful of the fact that the shadow side of Pisces is the tendency towards victimhood, self-pity, addiction and escapism.  We can find constructive channels for escapism through music, films and art.  

This is probably going to be the quietest week in February because next week we have Mars stationing direct in Cancer and a New Moon in Pisces so try to enjoy it as much as possible.  The month of March ushers in eclipse season, which will be chock full of more changes...

Mercury Enters Pisces and a Full Moon in Virgo


 

Mercury is joining the Pisces party on February 23 and will remain in Pisces until March 9.  Our thought processes are about to get more intuitive and less verbal as we turn inwards.  Thinking will be colored by emotions and we could find ourselves being more reactive.  Mercury in Pisces is a time when we are quieter, find it easier to listen and meditate.  Music can take on a greater role in our lives too.  Watch for synchronistic events to occur too.  The downside of Mercury in Pisces is that we can have a tendency to overlook the details.  It marks a major shift in communication from Mercury in Aquarius, which was very outspoken.  Yes, the energy is definitely shifting and we saw a significant change on February 18, when the Sun entered Pisces.  On that day I posted:

On the following day, we have a Full Moon in 5 degrees of Virgo.  The Full Moon will shine a light on health issues with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo. Issues pertaining to our digestive and immune systems could be highlighted.  The Moon in Virgo is also opposing Saturn in 9 degrees of Pisces, which could create feelings of depression and loneliness.  It can be hard to share emotions on this day, just warning you.  And the opposition to Saturn can manifest as more restrictions and rules to stymie our freedom.  The Moon is also inconjunct Mars in 8 degrees of Aquarius, which will add to the irritability factor that tends to come out on Full Moons.  Try to get in some exercise to channel that frustration. And the Moon will also be inconjunct Venus in 9 degrees of Aquarius, which can increase our desire for love and fuel more tension.  The bottom line with these inconjunct aspects is to make some adjustments.  It's not always easy but definitely worth the effort.  Venus in Aquarius is squaring Jupiter in Taurus, which isn't all bad.  Venus and Jupiter tend to get along well, even with a square aspect.  It is a fun-loving, social aspect and its only drawback is a tendency towards extravagance.   But the Moon in Virgo is also trining Jupiter in 11 degrees of Taurus, which can generate new ideas and a sense of optimism in planning for the future.  

Mars in Aquarius will be squaring Jupiter in 10 degrees of Taurus on February 26 and this can play out as lots more energy at our disposal to take the initiative and engage in some risk-taking.  Bring on those new projects!  We will be primed to fight for our belief systems and have more courage.  Just be mindful of a tendency to be tactless and impulsive.

Mercury and the Sun are both conjunct Saturn in 9 degrees of Pisces on February 28.  Mercury conjunct Saturn will help us with critical thinking, but it can feel somewhat heavy and trigger clashes with authority figures.  Try not to dwell on any negativity.  The Sun's meet-up with Saturn can bring on extra responsibilities and hard work.  Patience and discipline are going to be required.  This isn't exactly what we wanted to hear, but this is the way it is.

The month of February ends on a more positive note on the 29th when Mercury in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 11 degrees of Taurus. This is extremely favorable for communication and planning for the future.  It also boosts our decision-making skills.  It has a very social vibe too, so if you are in the mood to make new friends, get yourself out there.  Sometimes that extra day in the month is just what we need!

I am pleased to announce that I have another article published on Powerfortunes.com about Profection Years in Astrology. You can read it on:https://www.powerfortunes.com/topics-opinions/profectionyears.php.  It turns out that there are definite themes present in each year of our life and they tend to repeat.  I like to think of them like Jupiter Returns, because they occur every twelve years.

A Relatively Quiet Week as March Begins with a Delightful Venus Jupiter Conjunction and Mercury Moves into Pisces


 

We have a relatively quiet week ahead of us to finish up the month of February before the major changes of March blow in like a lion.  This past week we did experience some turbulence on February 21, when Mercury in Aquarius squared Uranus in Taurus.  On that day I tweeted:

I don't know about you, but I was quite rattled on that day.  I experienced a few electronic malfunctions with my printer and some customer service issues.  It didn't help that Mercury in Aquarius was one degree away from my natal Mars and of course Uranus was squaring my Mars.  I love it when astrology has an explanation for problems, but sometimes it can still be frustrating.  Mercury in Aquarius trined Mars in 16 degrees of Gemini on the 22nd, which helped to restore some order to any disturbances that occurred on February 21.

The remainder of February is devoid of any more major upsets.  On March 2, we have two major astrological events.  Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in 12 degrees of  Aries at 12:36 a.m. and this is a real feel-good vibe full of good karma, harmony, warmth and friendliness.  If you wake up with a smile on your face, it is because these two benefic planets are hooking up to have some fun.  The potential for new romance exists, as does the ability to attract financial benefits.  Creativity is also running high on this day.  This aspect brings good luck and it is a perfect day to socialize.  I always say with Jupiter, if you snooze, you lose, so get out there and mingle to make the most of this aspect.  Of course, Jupiter is also associated with excess, so be mindful of the tendency to overeat, have too many drinks or spend too much money.  This conjunction falls at the end of my 6th house, so I am going to have to be careful on this day.

Mercury will enter the mutable water sign of Pisces at 5:52 pm on March 2.  Mercury literally zips through Pisces and zips into Aries on March 19. But before Mercury leaves Aquarius, one of its favorite signs, it does conjunct Saturn in 29 degrees of Aquarius at 9:34 a.m.  This adds a tone of seriousness to our emotional nature and we could feel somewhat challenged and restricted in our relationships.  Just try to remember that this is a temporary influence.  Mercury is considered to be in fall in Pisces, because the sign of Pisces tends to be scattered, unorganized and illogical, which doesn't jive too well with Mercury representing the mind.

But Mercury in Pisces does have its perks.  We are more creative, intuitive and imaginative.  Vivid dreams can also accompany this Mercury placement.  Our thinking is done with our heart because we are going inward and we tend to see the big picture, the details not so much.  We might also find ourselves feeling more introverted and experience some difficulty in verbalizing our impressions.  But Mercury in Pisces gives us a lot more empathy for others and it can be a very sweet, dreamy time. When Mercury enters Pisces it will trine my natal Mercury in Scorpio, so I am looking forward to some inspiration.

Don't get too complacent with the Sun and Mercury in Pisces.  Things will definitely heat up the following week with a Full Moon in Virgo and Saturn entering Pisces on March 7.  I will cover that more in next week's post.

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift. 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?

Mercury on the Move

 


Mercury has been sailing through the mutable water sign of Pisces since March 9, but it is about to switch gears and move into the cardinal fire sign of Aries on March 27.  Mercury in Pisces is very dreamy, nebulous and sometimes quite foggy, but it has made some major aspects in its short transit.  On March 21, Mercury and Neptune were conjunct in Pisces and on that day I tweeted:

Before Mercury departs the sign of Pisces, it makes one powerhouse of an aspect when it forms a supportive sextile to Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn on March 26, 2022.  Mark my words, there will be a depth and intensity to our thinking and conversations on that day. This is a great aspect for astrologers, psychics and healers because it has a deep dive quality.  Our willpower will be at an all-time high.  Magnetism and allure will be off the charts as our powers of persuasion will be very strong.  And it is possible to uncover more secrets with this aspect in play.  We could be feeling more empowered to embark on a new course of action when these two planets are in cahoots.

On March 27, Mercury moves into Aries until April 10, 2022.  Aries season kicked off on March 20 when the Sun entered Aries.  When Mercury is in Aries, communication will become more assertive, direct, creative and fearless.  It will spice up conversations and ideas. Mercury in Aries will take us out of the doldrums of Mercury in Pisces, which had a rather confusing vibe.  When Mercury is in Aries, we tend to be more impatient and impulsive with a tendency to look before we leap.  That is the shadow side of Mercury in Aries, which can also make us more inconsiderate of others' feelings as we are primarily focused on ourselves.  But it does generate a blast of fresh air to our mental process, so make the most of it and try to be mindful of others.

Impatience seems to be a key theme that is prevalent these days and Mercury in Aries will exacerbate our impatience.  I hear it from friends, clients and have been experiencing my own share of impatience in life.  Sometimes I feel that it is hard to believe that all of the planets are in direct motion until April 29 when Pluto stations retrograde because progress seems so slow.  The general feeling is that things are not happening fast enough.  I was wondering what could be causing this when I realized that the North Node of the Moon in 23 degrees of Taurus was squaring Saturn in 20 degrees of Aquarius.  Talk about a test of patience!  This aspect can produce pessimism and a feeling that it is easy to be stuck in the past as it challenges us to overcome obstacles.  And it takes longer than we like  for progress to be achieved.  Of course, while the North Node, or our soul's goal,  is in Taurus, the South Node, or our karmic baggage, is in Scorpio.  So if you have any planets in 20-25 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, you are probably experiencing enormous challenges.  My Sun and Venus in Scorpio are taking some major hits these days. And my Pluto in Leo had its share in January and February when the North and South Nodes were squaring it.

I have a natal sextile between my north node in Capricorn and my Saturn in Scorpio.  Sextiles are a lot easier to deal with than squares. I do feel that my sextile has pushed and supported me to develop more self-reliance and self-discipline in my life.  I don't consider myself to be a patient person due to a natal square between Mars in Aquarius and Saturn in Scorpio, but I am grateful for my organizational skills and sense of responsibility.

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. 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?

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 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. 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:
