Hang
on this week because there is a lot of cosmic activity going down. On January 28, Mercury and Pluto are conjunct
for the second time in 27 degrees of Capricorn. The previous conjunction occurred
on December 29, 2021 in 25 degrees of Capricorn when Mercury was still
direct. What can we expect when this
happens? More scandals and secrets could be revealed as it is prime time to dig
deep. Our thinking and communication
will undoubtedly be transformed. And we
get to experience this transit one more time on February 11, 2022 with both
planets in 27 degrees of Capricorn again.
We
have really good news on January 29 when Venus stations direct in 11 degrees of
Capricorn. Venus has been retrograde
since December 19, 2021 when it stationed retrograde in 26 degrees of Capricorn
and it has been testing relationships and finances ever since. At least that is what I am hearing from people
and it’s been my own personal experience too.
I personally think it has heavily influenced the feeling of being stuck
so far this year and like we are reenacting a Groundhog Day of the year 2021. Venus will remain in Capricorn until March 6,
2022 so we still have a lot of heavy stuff to sift through but it should start
to get a little easier now. Venus has
been in Capricorn since early November 2021, so this is a very extended transit
that will force us to be more responsible in our relationships and finances. Harmony
is making a comeback and if you have been contemplating any major changes to
your appearance, you have a green light to move forward now that Venus is
direct.
The
Sun in 10 degrees of Aquarius will be exactly squaring rebel planet Uranus in
10 degrees of Taurus on January 30, 2022.
How is this aspect going to play out?
Well, we can expect some tension which can lead to unpredictable
behavior such as angry outbursts, radical changes and of course, electrical
malfunctions. Mercury is still
retrograde, don’t forget. The best way
to survive this transit is to be as proactive as possible regarding change and
expect that something will alter the course of your life as a result of this
challenging aspect. Try to be flexible
which might not be that easy with both of these planets in fixed signs…
On
February 1, 2022, we have a New Moon in 12 degrees of Aquarius. This is also the Chinese New Year of the
Tiger. New Moons are always an
opportunity to set some new intentions so I encourage all of you to do so, but
be mindful of the fact that this New Moon is conjunct Saturn in 15 degrees of
Aquarius. The bottom line with Saturn’s
alignment with the Moon means that whatever new beginnings we experience are
originating out of hard times because Saturn loves to test us and forces us to
be realistic in order to create something solid. So, in essence, reality bites. The three Saturn-Uranus squares of 2021 might
be over, but they are still a force to be reckoned with in 2022. The Sun in Aquarius was squaring Uranus in
Taurus on the 30th and the New Moon in Aquarius is conjunct Saturn
in Aquarius. Change is coming, but there
is still resistance to changing the status quo and we need to accept the fact
that the changes we desire are happening on their own timetable, not ours. We still have free will, so please try to
initiate something on this New Moon because there is an excellent chance that
we will see positive results by the Full Moon in Aquarius on August 12,
2022. Mars in 5 degrees of Capricorn is
trining Uranus in 10 degrees of Taurus on this New Moon, so this is still
pretty focused energy that shouldn’t be wasted. I personally have some
trepidation about this New Moon because it is conjunct my natal Mars in 14
degrees of Aquarius in my 4th house and squaring my Saturn in 12
degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house.
And Uranus in Taurus is still in my 7th house squaring both
my Mars and Saturn. So I fully
appreciate this theme.
On
February 3, 2022, prepare to rejoice because Mercury stations direct in 24
degrees of Capricorn after having been retrograde since January 14, when it
stationed retrograde in 11 degrees of Aquarius.
Mercury is moving slowly because of its station, but it will re-enter
Aquarius on Valentine’s Day, February 14.
So communication should start to get back on track, hopefully travel
will become easier and our electronics should start behaving and stop their
infuriating malfunctions.
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?

I
am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as
FaceTime, Skype or Zoom. Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if

I
have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to
create a combination reading which offers the option of a 30 minute astrology
consultation with a one question tarot reading for only $50. There is something
for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget.
My
site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your
choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights

practice. If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading
through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7. Or you can send
a contribution using Zelle and my phone number 617-304-2205.
Additionally, I am
available for tarot readings by telephone. I use the Celestial Tarot
Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological
symbols. A tarot reading is another great option for obtaining
insight and clarity. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50 which
incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

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!
