A Full Moon in Leo and Uranus Goes Direct in Taurus

 




As we prepare to enter the month of February 2026 the fast pace continues.  On February 1 we have a Full Moon in 13 degrees of Leo.  This Full Moon is often referred to as the Snow Moon and many of us can certainly attest to the fact that there has been a great deal of snow during the past week.

The major themes of a Full Moon in Leo include living from the heart, romance, children, leadership and creativity.  Any Full Moon requires that we find a level of balance, and with a Full Moon in Leo opposing the Sun in Aquarius, this entails balancing the loud and proud qualities Leo embodies with the quiet and introspective side of Aquarius.  We are involved in a conflict between the me of Leo versus the we (the collective) of Aquarius. Leo can be an extremely generous sign, but its shadow side can involve self-centeredness and a sense of entitlement.  This Full Moon in Leo also opposes Mars, Mercury, Venus and Pluto in Aquarius.  This is definitely not going to be a quiet Full Moon.  Big truths are bound to be revealed and the emotional reactions will not be silenced.  This won't be a boring time, to say the least.  This Full Moon is also coming on the heels of the Mars-Pluto conjunction in 2 degrees of Aquarius that occurred on January 27.

I will be honest that as a Scorpio, I always find the Full Moon in Leo somewhat challenging.  This one is squaring my natal Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st house and opposing my natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house.  There is no doubt that it will set me off and I will have a big case of the feels.  It is fair to say that anyone with planets in the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio will be significantly impacted by this Full Moon as the ego and the heart have a monumental standoff.

On February 3, Uranus stations direct in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Uranus began its retrograde in 1 degree of Gemini on September 5, 2025. Uranus is not terribly comfortable in the fixed earth sign of Taurus because it wants control and Uranus doesn't like control, it is all about freedom  and innovation.  We have until April 25 to get more grounded and practical before Uranus enters Gemini for the next seven years.  Uranus will be much more comfortable in Gemini, bringing change to communication, transportation, information and technology.  The only caveat about Uranus in Gemini is the fact that for the United States of America, every time Uranus has been in Gemini (every 84 years), this country has been involved in a war: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War 2.  Will we escape a war during this next seven-year transit?

Mercury in Aquarius will be squaring Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on February 5. Our minds will be energized and there is a strong likelihood of surprising information surfacing. I have a natal Mercury-Uranus square, so I am quite familiar with this energy. I also have my progressed Sun in Aquarius, so I am definitely feeling this vibe. If you have any planets between 27-29 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio, be prepared to be craving more freedom.  I know, the fixed signs are really getting slammed these days.  We are in a transition period between the major outer planets of Saturn, Neptune and Uranus going from water and earth to fire and air signs, which is not exactly a smooth ride...

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:

Mars and Saturn Work Together, Uranus Takes Some Hits and a Full Moon in Leo


 

February is the shortest month of the year, but it is no slouch in terms of action in 2025.  On February 4, Venus moved into Aries and Jupiter stationed direct in Gemini after being retrograde since October 2024.

On February 9, Mars in Cancer will be exactly trining Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces. This is a big deal because it means that these two planets are actually working together.  I have a natal Mars-Saturn square, so I know first-hand what it means to have these two planets at cross purposes with each other. When Mars is trining Saturn, ambition and perseverance rule.  It is a perfect time to take on those hard tasks to get the job done.  Patience and self-discipline prevail.  It's also possible to obtain support from authority figures, so get busy this day.  Your efforts will pay off.

Mercury in Aquarius will be squaring Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus on February 10.  This aspect can bring excitement to our daily routines, but it can cause upsets and nervous tension.  We can be feeling like excitement junkies, but the potential exists for us to miss important information.

The Sun in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus on February 11 and this is bound to generate uneasy feelings regarding impending changes.  The ego is strong, so watch out for angry outbursts.  The best advice that I can give for coping with this aspect is to channel this energy constructively by being proactive about change.

And the piece de resistance arrives on February 12 with a Full Moon in 24 degrees of Leo. The Full Moon in Leo is also called the Snow Moon because it tends to be a time when there is snow in winter.  But it also emphasizes creativity, self-expression and stepping into the spotlight.  Embrace that inner child that is crying to get out. Be bold because courage is also associated with the Full Moon in Leo.

The Full Moon in Leo also squares Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus, which can manifest as rapid mood changes, irritability, impulsiveness and a general lack of patience.  Feelings of rebellion are likely and we could be encountering outbursts from friends or family.

The Full Moon is also opposing Mercury in 27 degrees of Aquarius, which could play out as making decisions that actually liberate us.  There is also a T-square configuration involving the  Sun in 24 degrees of Aquarius, the Moon in 24 degrees of Leo and Uranus in 23 degrees of Taurus.  This involves themes of freedom, surprises, and potential volatility in currency.  Technology secrets could also come to light.

Obviously this Full Moon will have the strongest impact on anyone who has planets in 22 to 27 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio.  Once again, I am right in the cross hairs of this Full Moon with my Venus and Ceres in Scorpio and Pluto in Leo.  The Full Moon falls in my 11th house conjunct my Pluto and inconjuncts my Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house.  So this definitely won't be a quiet time for me...

An Action-Packed Week as the Sun and Pluto Enter Aquarius, Venus Moves into Capricorn and the First Full Moon of 2024 in Leo






This is it, folks.  If you haven't felt like 2024 is officially here, I guarantee that you will this week.  On January 19, Mercury in Capricorn will be exactly trining Jupiter in 6 degrees of Taurus, providing us with an optimistic tone to our communication and facilitating our ability to be more organized and make plans. On the same day, Venus in Sagittarius will be exactly squaring Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces, which can put us in the mood for partying and wanting to enjoy some beauty in our lives.  Don't even think of going on a diet, though with this aspect. It does not encourage self-discipline.

But mark the day of January 20 on your calendar.  This might very well be the official start of 2024.  The Sun and Pluto will be conjunct in 29 degrees of Capricorn at 8:46 a.m. on that day for the last time.  It is common knowledge that 29 degrees is considered to be the critical or anaretic degree, so we can expect some drama and upsets to occur.  Paranoia might rear its ugly head and many of us could feel like this is the last straw.  We are in a major process of transformation and some things could be removed from our lives.

At 9:07 a.m. on January 20, the Sun enters the fixed air sign of Aquarius.  This happens every year and it marks a change in our focus.   When the Sun is in Aquarius, we want to be free and original.  We are more innovative and concerned with the greater good.  Equality becomes a priority now.  We could also feel like enlarging our social circle and might find a new tribe that meshes with our beliefs.

But Pluto is also entering Aquarius on January 20 at 7:50 p.m.  This is huge and will usher in a new reality.  Pluto briefly tiptoed into Aquarius in 2023 from March 23 through June 11 to give us a taste which mostly shone a light on AI, but Pluto will remain in Aquarius until September 1, 2024 when it returns to Capricorn until November 19, 2024 to attend to unfinished business.  This unfinished business will probably revolve around the final touches of transforming our financial and governmental structures. When Pluto returns to Aquarius on November 19, it will stay in Aquarius for good until March 8, 2043. I have made peace with the fact that Pluto will remain in Aquarius for the rest of my life; I was born with Pluto in Leo.  Countries, like the United States, have Pluto Returns, but people don't because we don't have a 248-year life span.

The last time Pluto was in Aquarius for an extended stay was from 1778 to 1798.  This was the age of Revolution: the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.  Destruction and rebirth are the calling cards of Pluto.  When Pluto is in Aquarius, 
we should all consider giving back to our communities.  It will quite literally be the era of Power for the People.

Mercury in 8 degrees of Capricorn leaves its retrograde shadow on January 20 as well.  Hooray!  The Moon also enters Gemini at 8:58 a.m. just a few minutes after the Sun enters Aquarius.  This is significant because we will finally have some planets in air by the evening: the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius and the Moon in Gemini.  In case you haven't noticed, we haven't had any air planets recently.  Now that we have some planets in air signs, communication can proceed more smoothly.  And having Mercury clearing its retrograde shadow on the same day is a real perk.

Venus leaves party sign Sagittarius for Capricorn on January 23, 2024 and stays in Capricorn until February 16, 2024.  When Venus is in Capricorn, our style of showing love and affection is more subdued and we are craving stability. It is a time of getting serious about love, commitment and finances. But Venus in Capricorn does reward hard work in relationships.

And on January 25, we have our first Full Moon of 2024 in 5 degrees of Leo.  This is bound to  be felt on a deeply emotional level.  This Full Moon has been referred to as the Wolf Moon because wolves are heard howling in the winter.  Major themes of this Full Moon include listening to your heart (Leo rules the heart), engage in some self-love and let your inner child out to play so that you can find your truth and release those emotions.

What is the astrological landscape of this Full Moon?  For starters, this Full Moon in Leo is opposing Pluto in 0 degrees of Aquarius, which can play out as volatility, mood swings, inner turmoil, relationship drama and for some, vulnerability to manipulation.   The Full Moon in 5 degrees of Leo is also squaring Jupiter in 6 degrees of Taurus, which can have us wanting to claim our power but feeling overwhelmed.  The Full Moon in Leo is involved in a T-square because it opposes both the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius while squaring Jupiter in Taurus, so it can be an explosive mix.  But T-squares do have a way of motivating us.  We might find ourselves having to make some adjustments in relationships because the Full Moon in Leo is inconjunct Saturn in 5 degrees of Pisces and Venus in 2 degrees of Capricorn.  The bright side of this Full Moon is that Jupiter in Taurus is forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in Pisces, which can help stabilize our spiritual growth.

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:

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!

A Game Changing Full Moon in Leo Featuring Uranus in Taurus Calling the Shots







Can you feel the change coming yet? Yes, we have a Full Moon in 16 degrees of Leo coming up on February 5, but the winds of change are already blowing.  On February 3, the Sun in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 14 degrees of Taurus.  This is a very rebellious and restless vibe with a strong theme of stability challenging change.  We will undoubtedly be dealing with breakdowns, breakthroughs or comebacks.  Uranus is the wild card planet that likes to shock us and deliver upsets.  It can literally strike like lightning.  Uranus is also the ruling planet of Aquarius, so it packs quite a punch and sets the stage for a powerful and emotional Full Moon in Leo.

If you have any planets in the middle degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, you have probably been feeling this energy all week.  It tends to generate high anxiety. The bottom line with this Uranian energy is that change is coming and we need to accept it.  If  we don't accept it, we will be steamrolled by it.  There is a saying that is attributed to Gandhi, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" that  resonates big time for me.  I remember when I first began my study of astrology many years ago my teacher told me that I had a chart like Gandhi.  At the time I didn't understand what that truly meant, but now I can see that perhaps it had to do somewhat with the fact that both Gandhi and I had Libra Rising, Cancer Midheavens and Mercury and Venus in Scorpio.  And I have always sought to achieve peaceful resolutions to any problems, probably because of that Libra Rising and Neptune in Libra in the 1st house.  Gandhi had a 12th house Libra Sun.  I am all too aware that major changes are coming down the pike as a chapter of my life is coming to an end.  My Mars in Aquarius and my Scorpio Sun and Saturn are being aspected with this Sun-Uranus square as well as the Full Moon in Leo.  I can tell you from personal experience that fixed signs don't give up or let go easily, especially when they don't know what the future is bringing.  That is what Uranus does best, delivering the unexpected.  All that I can tell you is to be as proactive as possible to survive and thrive in these changing times.

On February 4, 2023, we have another challenging aspect that is a precursor to the Full Moon in Leo.  Venus in 11 degrees of Pisces is exactly squaring Mars in 11 degrees of Gemini.  We are all going to feel the effects of this aspect, but anyone with planets in the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will take the biggest hit.  Relationships will be tested, tempers could flare, conflict could erupt, and we might feel irritable and annoyed with those we love.  Some relationships could break up but the flip side is that Venus squaring Mars can also lead to a surge in creativity or some great make-up sex if conflict does rear its ugly head.  Once again, I am in the line of fire as my Moon is in 14 degrees of Gemini in my 8th house.

On February 5, the Full Moon in 16 degrees of Leo is exact at 1:29 pm.  Full Moons are all about closure, completion and shining a light on what has been previously hidden. Uranus in 15 degrees of Taurus is involved in a fixed T-square with this Full Moon because it squares both the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo.  Mark my words, there will be a strong sense of urgency and restlessness prevalent as we are forced to contemplate what we have outgrown in our lives.  Uranus in Taurus will probably manifest as climaxes and unexpected results. We should be seeing some fast-moving events with Uranus in the mix.  The thing with Uranus is that you simply cannot predict how it will manifest, but it will throw you for a loop.   It will be a stressful time and I don't see how we can avoid conflict as we deal with stubborn attachments.  Uranus in Taurus is at the end of my 7th house and will be entering my 8th house on February 25, but the Sun is in my 4th house and the Moon is in my 10th house on this Full Moon. The themes associated with a Leo Full Moon include leadership, creativity and integrity.  

This Full Moon in Leo will bring massive changes but it doesn't have to be all negative experiences.  It will probably feel unsettling as a way of life that we have been attached to for so long winds down, but we need to tap into that fire energy and enthusiasm that Leo is renowned for and embrace the future, even if we are not yet sure what it will look like.  On February 8, Venus in 15 degrees of Pisces will form a supportive sextile to Uranus in 15 degrees of Taurus.   Sextiles represent opportunities, so this aspect can be our ticket to working things out after the fallout of the Full Moon and making our way into the light of the future.  Use this energy wisely to create your new reality.

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?

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:

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 necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. 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!

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:

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 10th 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 5th house and Uranus is in my 7th 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?
