Mercury Retrograde and the Sun Enters Aries

 



The month of March is roaring on.  So far we have had Venus station retrograde in Aries on the 1st and the first eclipse of 2025 in the form of a Lunar Eclipse in 23 degrees of Virgo on March 14.  On March 15, the fun continues when Mercury stations retrograde in 9 degrees of Aries.  Just like with Venus retrograde, we get to experience this retrograde in Aries and Pisces.  Yes, folks, on March 29, Mercury will swim back into Pisces and station direct on April 7 in 26 degrees of Taurus. Venus will move back into Pisces on March 27 and station direct on April 12 (a Full Moon in 23 degrees of Libra to boot) in 24 degrees of Pisces.  It's becoming quite obvious that 23 degrees is a very sensitive degree astrologically these days.

How is Mercury retrograde in Aries going to play out?  In addition to the usual communication, transportation and electronic snafus, Mercury retrograde in Aries tends to test our patience even more.  Mercury in Aries loves to rush into things, but with it retrograde we need to exercise more caution and strategize. This does not come easy, sad to say.  We do get a bit of a break on March 24 when Mercury in Aries is cazimi with the Sun in Aries.  Important messages could be revealed, either through friends or possibly through dreams.  

Mercury is back in Pisces on March 29, intensifying the theme of mixed messages.  Nobody ever said Mercury was comfortable in the mutable water sign of Pisces.  This is very vague energy, so double-check your calendar to avoid misunderstandings.  We are dealing with both Mercury and Venus retrograde in Pisces by the end of March.  And it is no accident that Venus stationed retrograde in 10 degrees of Aries and Mercury in 9 degrees of Aries, which is the exact degree of the Solar Eclipse on March 29.  It would be the biggest understatement of the year to say that this first set of eclipses in 2025 is life-altering for the planet. They are serving as a bridge to a new world, and we are experiencing labor pains big time.

The Sun and Neptune are conjunct in 29 degrees of Pisces as well on March 19.  This can intensify our spiritual connection but it can also blur boundaries by leading to confusion and escapism.  The good news with this aspect is that we can experience more creativity, empathy and compassion but there is also the potential for uncertainty, overthinking and the need to let go of attachments and/or beliefs that no longer serve our highest good.  There is something about a conjunction in 29 degrees of Pisces that denotes an ending or culmination of the lessons of that particular sign.  They don't call it the critical or anaretic degree for nothing!

The Sun enters Aries on March 20.  This is literally the start of the astrological New Year when the Sun blasts into the cardinal fire sign.  Spring is officially here.  When the Sun is in Aries, we feel free to take the lead and adopt this courageous energy.  Aries is ruled by Mars, don't forget, so pursue your passions.  However, when the Sun is in Aries, we do tend to be more impatient and itching for something new. We are definitely up for some challenges, which is a good way to begin a new year on an astrological level.

Neptune will briefly enters Aries on March 30 until October 22, 2025, but more on that later.

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:

Sun Conjunct Neptune in Pisces Can Either Deliver Dreams and Inspiration or Heightened Paranoia and Sadness



If you are feeling somewhat adrift these days, it's perfectly understandable given the current state of the world and the fact that we are still sailing through Pisces season.  Not only are the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces, but on March 9 Mercury entered Pisces.  On that day I tweeted:
The bottom line is that this a great deal of water energy and we all know that the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces have deep emotions. So we have a stellium in Pisces now.  The Sun and Jupiter were conjunct in 14 degrees of Pisces on March 5 and on March 11, the Sun and Neptune will be conjunct in 22 degrees of Pisces.  Sun-Neptune conjunctions occur once a year and in Pisces they can be a very big deal.

The highest manifestation of a Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces can be quite magical and idealistic.  Some people might feel like their dreams are coming true because Neptune is the planet associated with spirituality.  But let us not forget that the planet Neptune also entails delusion, paranoia and sadness.  Addiction, suffering and escapism are common themes related to Neptune's domain.  Deception can run rampant.  This is a deeply emotional time so don't be surprised if you feel the need to cry on this day; feel free to let it out.  Our sensitivity, intuition and empathy are increased when the Sun and Neptune hook up.  This can be good or bad.  If you are surrounded by negative people or situations, this can be very draining.

What is the best way to cope with this deep energy?  One thing you can do if you have some negative influences in your life is to try to set some boundaries.  Neptune is not exactly known for its use of boundaries, but if we are being drained and don't attempt to set some clear boundaries, we will literally feel like we are drowning in a sea of emotions. We can also utilize the escapist theme of this aspect by giving ourself permission to enjoy a movie or book that provides a temporary respite from our reality.  Or we could tap into the compassionate side of this energy and donate to relief funds that support the  Ukrainians.  I have donated to United Help Ukraine, which you can find at:


There is more emotional depth on tap for March 13 with the Moon in Cancer opposing Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn.  This can bring mood swings, turmoil, relationship drama, manipulation and power struggles.  I am not flat out predicting a bad day, but I think that we all need to be aware of the potential pitfalls that could occur.  I would also encourage you to take a look at where this conjunction is falling in your natal chart.  For me, it is in my 6th house of work, health, and daily routines.  It is also conjunct my Part of Fortune in 21 degrees of Pisces.

There is one more upcoming aspect that I would like to address.  On March 17, Mercury in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 12 degrees of Taurus.  This can bring very future-oriented thinking and open-mindedness as our intuitive powers are getting quite the boost. Exciting news and stimulating conversations will abound.  But we could also experience flashes of insight and have dreams with important messages.  So be on alert on that day!

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?

A Busy Moon and a Mystical Sun-Neptune Conjunction

 



After a hectic first two months of 2021, we were bound to get a breather. This could very well be the March that comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion.  I kid you not, this is a relatively quiet week astrologically where the main action is coming from the Moon and the annual Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces.

The Moon exited the month of February with a Full Moon in Virgo on the 27th and on the 28th it formed a Grand Earth Trine, which inspired me to tweet:

The Moon has spent the past week in Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius but on March 6, it returns to an earth sign-Capricorn.  It’s about to get very busy in Capricorn.  On the 7th, the Capricorn Moon is inconjunct Mars in 2 degrees of Gemini.  This is going to be a very touchy and hyper-emotional period accompanied by anger and manipulation.  The best coping strategy for dealing with this aspect is to curb your emotions.  That Moon in Capricorn is also squaring Chiron in 7 degrees of Aries on the same day, which will undoubtedly trigger some trauma and emotional wounding as hurt feelings and painful emotions surface.  Don’t forget that Pluto is still in the sign of Capricorn.

On March 9 the Moon enters Aquarius, where Jupiter and Saturn are holding court.  The Aquarius Moon will square off with Uranus in 7 degrees of Taurus.  This is significant because Uranus rules the sign of Aquarius and the effects are exacerbated.  Be prepared for rapid mood swings and impulsive reactions.  Emotional outbursts from friends or family might require more patience and sensitivity than we normally have.  Frustration in relationships is also likely as we desire to break free of old patterns.  The Moon is also conjunct Saturn in Aquarius on the 9th, which can come off as a real buzz kill.  It’s a heavy emotional vibe that comes with serious emotional baggage.  Negative attitudes and challenging situations are other features of this aspect.  It’s time to call upon our self-discipline and emotional maturity to deal with this temporary but frustrating time.

But on March 10, we get a nice reprieve.  The Sun and Neptune are conjunct in 20 degrees of Pisces.  This is a pretty sweet aspect that increases our sensitivity, creativity, intuition and empathy.  Compassion is an all-time high.  I’m pretty stoked about it because it falls in my 6th house and trines my Cancer Midheaven as well as my Sun and Venus in Scorpio.  I will have a Grand Water Trine going on.  I already have a distance Reiki session booked for that day.  This is a beautiful, mystical and spiritual aspect, but we need to be mindful of its shadow side.  Neptune is also associated with deception and smoke screens, so don’t fall prey to con artists and sob stories.  Set some boundaries in your relationships by all means.  You might feel like indulging in some escapist behavior, so feel free to watch some movies on Netflix or read some fantasy novels.  Just don’t get too carried away…
