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. 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:

Uranus Retrograde and Eclipse Season Commences with a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

 



September is here and we are in for one wild ride this month.  It began with Saturn moving back into Pisces on September 1 until mid-February 2026.  Saturn in Pisces is all about spiritual surrender and dissolving the structures that no longer are viable in our lives.  And our first eclipse this month on September 7 is in 15 degrees of Pisces.  This eclipse will be a repeat of the Lunar Eclipse we had on September 7, 2006. The world is a very different place from 2006, but if you are old enough to remember it, you might be facing some similar issues.

Right before that total Lunar Eclipse, Uranus stations retrograde in 1 degree of Gemini on September 6.  Uranus will stay in Gemini until November 7 when it moves back into Taurus to handle its unfinished business.  Then it re-enters Gemini on April 25, 2026 until 2033.  We are going to be experiencing strong Uranian energy for at least the first ten days of September.  This means we could see earthquakes, cyberattacks, aviation disasters and shocking awakenings.  The news will not be dull now.

This year is an incredibly intense portal between the past and the future.  It is quite rare to have Saturn, Uranus and then later Neptune dipping from Aries and Gemini back into Pisces and Taurus.  So I am not kidding when I say there is unfinished business to deal with.

The total Lunar Eclipse on September 7 is in 15 degrees of Pisces.  If you have any personal planets or points (like your Nodes of the Moon, Midheaven, Descendant or Ascendant) in the mid degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you cannot escape the intensity of this eclipse.  I have my Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini in my 8th house, so I am once again in the line of fire. This is a North Node eclipse, so we are obtaining some closure towards the future.  There will be endings and new beginnings.  Hopefully, with a Lunar Eclipse in the sensitive water sign of Pisces, we can see it as the end of victimhood.  The endings can be purposeful, but we need to be mindful of the inclination towards self-pitying and a feeling of martyrdom.  Pisces has an affiliation with its victimhood role, so try to step away from the concept that it's happening to me and perceive it as something happening for me. The Sun in Virgo is conjunct the South Node of the Moon in Virgo, which is motivated to be perfect and get things right.  

A Lunar Eclipse in Pisces has strong themes of surrender and release.  There is no doubt that we all are going to need to give up something to get to the future. We need to release what is no longer working for us, no matter how painful that is.  The bottom line is that we are all on a collective level grieving what is the past and we need to move forward despite the fact that we are still unsure how to do that. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac; it is extremely emotional and sentimental.  We have already had a taste of Saturn and Neptune in Aries (the first cardinal fire sign of the zodiac) and Neptune will move back into Pisces on October 22 until January 26, 2026.  My sense is that the decade of the 2020's will officially launch in 2026 because we are still in the processing of releasing the past.  Yes, we are all dealing with themes of loss and grieving a way of life that is no longer viable. On an astrological level, this started in January 2020 with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn that launched the pandemic.  I am sure that many people will agree that life has not been the same since COVID.

We do have some bright spots on the day of the eclipse.  Mars in Libra is squaring Jupiter in 19 degrees of Cancer, which can see many of us fighting for justice.  Jupiter is on my Midheaven then, which is leading to my Jupiter Return.  But this eclipse is also trining Jupiter in Cancer, which gives us hope and faith that something good will come of this...  Do not count out Jupiter's role in this eclipse.  After all, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, and I am eternally grateful for having this natal placement.

Mercury Enters Taurus and An Unusually Intense Full Moon in Scorpio


 

Mercury is making up for lost time after the recent retrograde (March 15 through April 7) by moving into Taurus on May 10.  It cleared its retrograde shadow on April 25 and has been picking up its pace. Mercury will only remain in Taurus until May 25, so I am not kidding when I say it is cruising along at a fast clip.  

What can we expect when Mercury is the fixed earth sign of Taurus?  Thinking and communication are more down to earth and practical, which is a big change from the impulsive nature of Mercury in Aries.   Common sense rules, as does realism.  We will call things like we see them.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Mercury in Taurus is a tendency to be stubborn and resistant to new ideas.  It is a fixed sign, after all.

If the month of May has been too quiet for you, be prepared for all of that to change on May 12 with the Full Moon in 22 degrees of Scorpio.  The Full Moon in Scorpio is not exactly a lightweight, jolly one, but this particular one has even more potential for intensity, passion and transformation than usual.  Scorpio is a sign associated with secrets and other people's money, so I wouldn't be surprised if financial news surfaces that rocks us to our core.  Sexual secrets could come out too, as Scorpio has a heavy sexual connotation. Taurus is also a money sign and we have the Sun and Uranus in 26 degrees of Taurus. The conjunction of the Sun and Uranus in Taurus can also indicate the potential for earthquakes too. The Sun and Uranus in Taurus opposing that Moon in Scorpio have the potential to bring radical change, a craving for independence and downright rebellion and/or revolution.  The Full Moon in 22 degrees of Scorpio is also inconjunct Jupiter in 23 degrees of Gemini, which can magnify the importance of those secrets.  And the Full Moon in Scorpio is inconjunct Chiron in 24 degrees of Aries, increasing our awareness of our pain.  Be prepared to confront those old wounds and make some adjustments in your life to heal them.

If you have any planets or points (as in Ascendant, Midheaven, IC or Nodes of the Moon) in 19-25 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, you will definitely be feeling the effects of this Full Moon.  Once again, I am right in the line of fire.  My Sun is in 19 degrees of Scorpio and my Venus is in 24 degrees of Scorpio.  Both planets are in my 2nd house.  The bottom line is that Uranus is a wild card player in this Full Moon; it can bring change, but it will probably be quite disruptive and somewhat uncomfortable.  It's also impossible to predict exactly how it will play out.  And Mercury in Taurus will be squaring Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius on the Full Moon, so we could be headed for some major blow-ups and big reveals.  Just warning you... 

The Moon is in Scorpio on Mother's Day, May 11, and it is not exactly friendly.  It inconjuncts Venus in Aries and squares Mars in Leo, which could lead to some conflict on this day.  Try to honor Mom and refrain from too much arguing on this day. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and women who have nurtured you out there.

Water Works with the Planets and Mars Retrograde in Gemini

 




We are in a very watery astrological landscape these days, in case you haven't noticed and have been living under a rock.  This means that emotions are heightened; we are much more sensitive and impassioned. Venus and the Sun entered the Sun on October 23 and we had a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25, when I tweeted:
On October 28, retrograde Jupiter joins the water posse when it dips back into Pisces until December 20.  Jupiter hasn't been in Pisces since early May 2022, so I encourage you to think back to what was going on in your life back then. We are all going to be getting a sense of Deja vu and a second chance to clear up unfinished business.  Jupiter is much more comfortable in Pisces than in Aries as it emphasizes expansion of our soul and our compassionate side.  It is very spiritual and idealistic with a slower pace.  Jupiter will station direct in 28 degrees of Pisces on November 23 and will re-enter Aries on December 20.  As for me personally, I am hoping that Jupiter in Pisces trining my natal Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house will bring some welcome growth and expansion to these areas of my life.

Mercury joins the Scorpio party on October 29 and stays in the fixed water sign until November 17. When Mercury is in Scorpio, we are determined to get to the bottom of things because we are more intuitive and probing as we crave more depth in our communication.  Digging deep to shine a light on the darkest parts of ourselves is the order of the day with Mercury in Scorpio.  Our minds can have a tendency to be more suspicious, too as the conversations get sharper.  We will probably be asking harder questions but this can ultimately lead to greater intimacy, which is a pretty sweet payoff.  I have a natal Mercury in Scorpio, so I know this is true from personal experience.

Mars stations retrograde in 25 degrees of Gemini on October 30 and remains retrograde until January 12, 2023 when it stations direct in 8 degrees of Gemini.  So Mars will remain in Gemini until March 25, 2023.  This transit really is the elephant in the room. Whenever Mars is retrograde, we can expect to be angry, frustrated and impatient because Mars is the planet of action and it is not functioning on all jets when it is retrograde.  We feel stuck and might notice a decrease in energy. Mars retrograde in Gemini can bring rumors, misunderstandings and communication meltdowns.  Watch out for hackers too.  Since retrograde transits of any planet involve the "re" theme, try re-thinking what motivates you.  And with Mars retrograde in Gemini, it means we might have to do things twice, so don't count on launching any new endeavors successfully now.  Allow time for a redo.  It's also a good idea to engage in a more passive response to any aggression that you encounter now.  The Mars retrograde starts in my 9th house but it is back in my 8th house by December 10 and will be conjunct my natal Moon. This should be interesting...

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, especially now that we are in eclipse season. 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?

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. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

A Full Moon in Cancer during Mercury Retrograde, Uranus Stations Direct, the True Nodes of the Moon Move into Taurus and Scorpio and the Sun Enters Aquarius




If you thought last week was too slow, brace yourself because there is a whole lot of astrological action coming up in this next week.  We did have a delightful Sun-Venus conjunction in Capricorn though on January 8 when I tweeted:

Mercury stations retrograde in 10 degrees of Aquarius on January 14 and stations direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn on February 3.  Mercury remains in Capricorn until February 14, 2022.   Mercury retrograde brings its own assortment of travel and communication related snafus to the table amidst a world-wide pandemic to boot. So we definitely have to worry about confusing information being disseminated about the virus during this time.

On January 17, we have a Full Moon in 27 degrees of Cancer.  There are strong themes of power and transformation associated with it because it opposes Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn.  The Sun in Capricorn is exactly conjunct Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn on January 16, which is sure to bring some power struggles and clashes with authority.  On February 20, 2022 the United States will be experiencing the first hit of its Pluto Return in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  It’s no secret that the United States is going through massive changes and challenges to its structure.  The Full Moon is in its own sign of Cancer which further amplifies the emotional intensity.  I wouldn’t rule out some angry outbursts with the Full Moon also forming an irritating inconjunct with Mars in 24 degrees of Sagittarius.  This aspect demands some kind of adjustment or compromise to be made in order to maintain a peaceful co-existence in this world. I am personally quite concerned about this Full Moon because it is exactly conjunct my natal retrograde Uranus in Cancer and also conjunct my natal Jupiter in 29 degrees of Cancer.  My Jupiter and Uranus are in my 10th house, so I sense that this will play out in a very public way with my work and home life.  This Full Moon also opposes my natal Chiron in Capricorn and squares my natal Neptune in Libra in my 1st house.

On January 18, Uranus stations direct in 10 degrees of Taurus.  Uranus has been napping since August 15, 2021 so we can expect that radical changes will manifest quite swiftly.  A lot of the internal strife will start to play out as our inner awakenings start to take on outer forms.  And we all know that when a planet is stationary it only increases the strength of the planet’s nature.  Uranus is known as the Great Awakener, so we can expect some massive changes to happen.  Uranus also loves to create disruptions, so hang tight…

The True Nodes of the Moon are changing signs on January 18 as well.  For the past 18 months the North Node has been in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius.  The North Node represents our collective destiny and our soul’s path and it will move into Taurus while the South Node will move into Scorpio.  The South Node of the Moon represents our karma and baggage that we need to release and integrate with the North Node in order to move forward.  The North Node in Taurus calls for us to embrace a more steady and grounded quality in life while we crave stability and structure.  We will need to make peace with what has happened with the knowledge that we can’t go back to the way things were.  It’s a time to be more deliberate and evaluate our self-worth.  A North Node in Taurus is also a perfect setting for focusing on the earth and paying attention to climate change.  The South Node in Scorpio is asking us to release the past and our grudges.  Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs which don’t embrace change easily, but they have enormous reserves of power and strength to tap into.  Yes, the signs of Taurus and Scorpio are in the hot seat and will feel the effects of this nodal transit until July 2023, but the fixed signs of Leo and Aquarius will have their challenges too. 

All of the eclipses in 2022 will be in Taurus and Scorpio.  The first one is the Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Taurus on April 30 but we got a preview of this back on November 19, 2021 with the Lunar Eclipse in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Like it or not, we have some major changes coming and the sooner that all of us can accept that fact, the easier it will be to navigate the future.

On January 19, the Sun moves into the fixed air sign of Aquarius.  This is a marked change from the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn.  When the Sun is in Aquarius, we are focused on attaining knowledge, new experiences and originality.  We want to be unique and innovative as we seek freedom.  It’s also a time to let your inner freak flag fly. Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus and Uranus is now direct, so we can be confident in implementing those changes we want to see in the coming year.

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. I have recently added a new offering to my astrological services menu.  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. The Omicron strain of the virus is spreading like wildfire these days.  I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

Scorpio Season Heats Up as Mars Enters Scorpio and a New Moon in Scorpio

 


Scorpio season is here and about to become even more intense.  The Sun entered Scorpio on October 23 inspiring me to tweet:

But on October 30, the energy really ramps ups due to the Sun in Scorpio forming an exact square to Saturn in 7 degrees of Aquarius and Mars entering Scorpio until December 13, 2021. The square aspect occurs at 5:53 a.m., so most of us will be asleep when it is exact.  But the effects could spill into our morning.  Don’t be surprised if you wake up feeling pessimistic, depressed or just plain isolated.  It can also make us feel tired and overcome with responsibilities.  When Saturn connects with the Sun it has a way of draining our energy.  Try to realize that this aspect is a major test of character and that the best way to survive it is to exercise patience and determination, despite the fact that our goals might seem insurmountable.  Do what you can to take care of business, but if you need extra rest, by all means give yourself permission to do so.  Our self-confidence will return when we have made some effort. 

Mars is the planet associated with anger, aggression and passion.  It enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio at 10:21 a.m. on October 30.  Mars is a very happy camper in Scorpio because Mars rules Aries and Scorpio.  Mars was considered to be the sole ruler of Scorpio until Pluto was discovered in 1930.  Mars in Scorpio is very competitive and focused like a laser.  Scorpio also pertains to debts, other people’s money, sexuality, private matters and secrets that you could be ashamed of.  When Mars is in Scorpio it can trigger self-loathing and shame over finances or relationships, but it can also give you the strength to fight for yourself.  Mars is the planet that motivates us and fuels our desires, and when it is in the sign of Scorpio, it’s a perfect time to reclaim our power.  If you have been feeling at all victimized lately, Mars in Scorpio will help you to express your needs and shed that martyr persona.  It’s an energizing jolt of energy that we all need right now.  Mars was not very comfortable in the sign of Libra, and it formed some very challenging aspects, especially with Pluto in Capricorn.  It’s time to bid farewell to that passive-aggressive vibe that Mars in Libra is renowned for.  The shadow side of Mars in Scorpio is that it can be vengeful in its actions if you cross it.  Just be mindful of that fact and this can be a very productive and powerful transit.

On November 4, we have a New Moon in 12 degrees of Scorpio.  The themes that will be prevalent on this New Moon in Scorpio include intensity, passion, vengeance, and an extreme all or nothing vibe.  Angry words are possible on this New Moon because Mercury in late Libra and Mars in 4 degrees of Scorpio are squaring Saturn in 7 degrees of Aquarius.  It will be time to deal with some harsh realities and upsets are bound to happen.   The New Moon is also in direct opposition to Uranus in 12 degrees of Taurus, which can bring shocks, upsets, unexpected events and revelations.  We could also experience technology going haywire again with the opposition to Uranus in Taurus, as well as some weather-related shocks and economic upheavals. The past three New Moons (August, September and October in the signs of Leo, Virgo and Libra) have all aspected Uranus in Taurus, which only serves to underscore the prevailing aspect of 2021: Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus.  We had the first Saturn-Uranus square on February 17th in 7 degrees, the second one occurred on June 14 in 13 degrees and the final one happens on December 24, 2021 in 11 degrees.

As a Scorpio, I have a vested interest in this New Moon because if I play my cards right and set some intentions for a brand new lifestyle, I can reap the benefits of some major changes.  Of course, there are other factors affecting me profoundly.  For starters, this New Moon is conjunct my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st house of self.  I guess I just can’t escape the effects of the Saturn-Uranus square!  The New Moon in Scorpio is also forming a supportive sextile to my North Node in Capricorn in my 3rd house, so it’s time for me to move forward on my soul’s path.  But the New Moon is also squaring my natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house, so I suspect that there will be some frustration and possible blockages in terms of moving forward.  I just want to close with urging all of you to set some new intentions on this New Moon because it is powerful and can pack quite a punch in terms of achieving a sense of personal power because Mars in Scorpio is widely conjunct the New Moon.  Don’t discount the power of Mars; it’s definitely going to have a profound impact.

These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much needed clarity and guidance.
