Mars Enters Pisces, Eclipse Season Kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse in Libra and Venus Makes Some Moves

 

We have an action packed, highly emotional week coming up.  On March 22, Mars leaves the fixed air sign of Aquarius to swim into the mutable water sign of Pisces until April 30.  Mars in Pisces is motivated by spiritual and emotional drives.  It's a very different vibe from Mars in Aquarius, which is motivated by humanitarian goals and principles.  Mars in Pisces is a time to be a spiritual warrior when compassion rules.  It is still Mars, so there is a dynamic component and it can also inspire bouts of creativity.  Mars is joining Saturn, Neptune and Venus in Pisces.  Venus has been quite busy lately and it shows no sign of stopping.

On March 24, Venus in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Taurus.  This is a real feel-good vibe which holds the promise of good luck, generosity and is quite favorable for love relationships.  After all, Venus and Jupiter are known as benefics, so when the two of them meet up, a good time can be had by all.  We could be receiving gifts or money.  It's also a time to up your self-care game.  The only potential drawback with this aspect is a tendency towards excess, as in too much of a good thing.  

The first eclipse of 2024 is here on March 25 with a penumbral or partial Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees of Libra.  Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons on steroids and their effects can be felt about six weeks before and after they occur.  This is a South Node eclipse because the South Node of the Moon is in 15 degrees of Libra and it represents an ending or culmination period. It forces us to ask what we need to leave behind.  Something might have started with the Solar Eclipse in 20 degrees of Libra on October 14, 2023 that is being resolved or released now.

A Lunar Eclipse in Libra has a strong theme of relationship patterns.  We could be ready to release some people-pleasing, codependent and enabling habits that are no longer serving us or those we love.  If you have any planets or points (like an Ascendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) within 3 degrees of the Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees in Libra or in the remaining cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer or Capricorn, you will definitely be feeling the effects of this eclipse.  This eclipse is squaring my North Node in Capricorn and my South Node in Cancer, so I sense that I am quite literally at a crossroad between my past and present. This eclipse is also trining Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius, so there is no escaping a deep dive into relationship dynamics for the purpose of transformation.

Another theme with this eclipse is that of adjustments.  The Moon in Libra will be forming an irritating inconjunct to Saturn in Pisces. Nobody likes inconjuncts, especially when Saturn is involved.  Saturn is associated with restrictions, a certain amount of reserve and withholding, as well as requiring some hard work.  But it can also reward us for a lesson well-learned if we are willing to make the effort.

Venus in Pisces has another game in motion for us on March 28 when it forms a supportive sextile to Uranus in 20 degrees of Taurus.  We could be in the mood for fun and excitement in our social life and in our love relationships.  Freedom and independence become more important to us.  It is an ideal time to make new friends and possibly meet a new lover if we are unattached.  Just don't expect much stability in any relationship that starts under a Venus-Uranus aspect.  But don't be afraid to embrace something different and unusual. Venus sextiling Uranus can also bring unexpected opportunities for money too.  Venus is also associated with money and we could have some delightful surprises in store for us.

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:

Venus in Cancer Frolics with Uranus in Taurus and the Sun in Gemini Has a Run-in with Saturn in Pisces

 

We are starting off the weekend on a very upbeat and high note on May 26 when Venus in Cancer is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus.  Sextile are easy, flowing aspects that tend to bring opportunities.  Venus and Uranus in this configuration is likely to bring unexpected romance or money. Creativity is also likely to flourish with these two planets frolicking together.  By all means, be open to new possibilities and break up old routines.  Uranus does love to shake things up.  This is an extremely social aspect, so make sure to get out there and socialize.  Don't be afraid of networking, either because not only is there potential for meeting a romantic partner, there is also the chance to meet someone who will benefit you financially.  Sextiles do create opportunities, but you do have to act on them and not let them just breeze by.  It's a classic case of if you snooze, you lose.

Venus in Cancer is exactly conjunct my Cancer Midheaven and Scorpio Sun,  so I am looking forward to whatever opportunities come my way.  Of course, Uranus in Taurus is exactly opposing my Sun, so I am sure that whatever transpires it will come as a complete surprise.  I have to confess that having Uranus opposing your Sun is not the easiest of transits as your life is turned upside down, but I am grateful for the fact that Venus, one of the benefic planets (Jupiter is the other one) is smiling down on me and giving me a break.  And Uranus in Taurus will be sextiling my Midheaven at the same time.  That is pretty sweet, in my book.

But things get a little more serious on May 28 when the Sun in Gemini is squaring Saturn in 6 degrees of Pisces. When the Sun and Saturn get together in a challenging aspect, we can expect tests of character, challenges, pressures and we might wind up feeling depressed and pessimistic.  Excessive responsibilities could crop up too. It can seem like a very restrictive time and the best way to deal with this energy is to accept our limitations.  We need to do the work to build strong foundations.  Saturn has a tendency to be judgmental too, so try not to be too critical.  I know, that is easier said than done.  I have a Sun-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio, so I know all too well what these two planets can wreak.  

Meanwhile, we are still dealing with the Fixed Grand Cross involving Jupiter in Taurus, Mars in Leo, Pluto in Aquarius and the North Node in Taurus with the South Node in Scorpio.  I hate to break it to you, folks, but this will be in place until mid-June.  So, if you have any planets or points like Ascendant or Midheaven in 0-3 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, be prepared for a bumpy ride.  On May 26 and 27, we have Mars in Leo squaring the Nodes in 3 degrees of their respective signs and Pluto in Aquarius squaring the Nodes.  This will probably manifest as feeling stuck and wanting to move forward, while simultaneously experiencing fear about moving forward.  Pluto is prodding us to purge what we don't need and Mars in Leo will provide us with the courage to do something.  Either walk away from a situation for do something completely different.  The important thing to remember is not to react negatively.  And remember that squares to the Nodes do have a perk: they can be very motivating.  Mars in Leo squaring the South Node in Scorpio can energize us to let go of what is no longer working in our lives while its square to the North Node in Taurus can help us take a calculated risk. Jupiter in Taurus is conjunct the North Node, so it can be a real journey and feeling of momentum if we have done the work.  The key lesson here is to finish up what we need to do in order to clear the decks for the new life that we want to create.  The emphasis in our collective soul path will shift dramatically on July 18 when the Nodes move into Aries and Libra.  The North Node in Aries for the next 18 months will infuse us with a jolt of courage and initiative to make things happen.

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?

Recently I did a chart reading for an infant born in March.  So if you know someone who has recently given birth and would like some insight into their child, please consider purchasing a reading.  I haven't added it to my regular menu yet, but if you are interested, I charge $50.  Please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com.
