Venus and Uranus Enter Gemini and the Sun Squares Pluto

 

The month of April is going out with just as much intensity as it began with that Full Moon in Libra on April 1.  On April 24, Venus moves from one of its favorite signs, Taurus, into the mutable air sign of Gemini.  Venus will remain in Gemini until May 18. When Venus is in Gemini, love is more cerebral as we are attracted to intellect and words hold sway over us.  Stimulating conversations can be an aphrodisiac for us.  It is a more light-hearted vibe as flirting and a craving for space in relationships prevail.  Venus in Gemini can also play out in fleeting connections and a tendency towards fickleness.

But hold the following day, April 25, as the day when really big changes occur.  First off, in the afternoon, the Sun in Taurus squares Pluto in 5 degrees of Aquarius.  I have this aspect natally with my Sun in Scorpio and Pluto in Leo.  On the plus side, this aspect supplies the energy, strength and motivation to work hard and persevere through difficulties.  This is especially true with it occurring in fixed signs.  But the Sun squaring Pluto can be accompanied by a need for power and a tendency to be assertive and controlling, which can lead to stress, power struggles, ego conflicts and intense experiences.  Fear of losing control is another theme of this aspect.  Ruthless and compulsive behavior can occur too, but ultimately it can lead to transformation and rebirth.  And of course, anyone with planets in the early degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will feel this one big time.

And at 8:50 p.m. on April 25, a whole new era begins when Uranus moves into Gemini to stay for the next seven years.  Yes, we got a sneak peek last year from July 7 through November 7, but this time Uranus stays in Gemini until August 3, 2032, when it briefly moves into Cancer, but returns to Gemini from December 12, 2032 until May 22, 2033.

Uranus is the planet associated with revolution, upheavals, sudden changes, electricity, shock and a need for freedom.  The last major transit of Uranus in Gemini occurred from 1942 through 1949. Uranus has an 84-year cycle and the United States has a history of being involved in wars when Uranus was in Gemini.  It started with the Revolutionary War, then again during the Civil War and World War II.  What can we expect with transit of Uranus in Gemini?  Uranus was extremely uncomfortable in Taurus, which threw the financial world into turmoil. The thing with Uranus is that it is never what you expect it to be.

Uranus in Gemini will bring revolution and change in communication, technology and transportation.  Social media will definitely be affected, as will AI.  Education is also up for some radical changes.  People who have planets in the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius will feel its influence most acutely.  New perspectives will emerge and there will be more clarity.  But it can be especially challenging when Uranus is at the beginning of a sign and at the end.  Many of us are still recovering from Uranus in Taurus.  That last degree packs a punch.

Gemini is mutable air, so we will be feeling other people's vibes too.  Gemini loves change and variety, so we can anticipate technology advancements.  Freedom of speech is a big theme now. Uranus is also the higher octave of Mercury, which rules Gemini. We can literally feel like busting out of our mental ruts. And the planet Uranus is very much an in the moment and future oriented planet.  We also have a stellium of planets in Aries now: Mars, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune.  Aries is a sign that craves independence and Uranus is all about seeking freedom.  There will be a supportive sextile between Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Aries, which can manifest as different expression of consciousness. We also have Uranus in Gemini sextiling Pluto in 5 degrees of Aquarius, which will facilitate a better understanding of consciousness.  This is a welcome relief from the tense squares between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn that occurred between 2012 and 2015.  Sextiles support and create opportunities. 

Be prepared to let go of the old order so that if falls away.  Jupiter in 18 degrees of Cancer is also squaring Mercury in 17 degrees of Aries on April 25, which can deliver big news and plans.  There is also hope for healing technologies to advance with Uranus in Gemini.  We are entering a whole new world and all I can say is to be as flexible as possible to the changes that will happen.  Fortunately, Uranus in Gemini is very comfortable being flexible and adaptable since it is a mutable sign.

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:

The Sun in Scorpio Squares Pluto in Aquarius, Mars Trines Jupiter and Mercury Enters Sagittarius

 

The Sun just entered Scorpio on October 22, but the Scorpio energy is quite strong already.  We had a New Moon in Libra on October 21 that featured a Grand Water Trine involving Mars and Mercury in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces, so it was definitely emotional.  For me personally, it felt like a Full Moon as it conjuncted my Neptune and Mercury while squaring my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer.  I have heard other people express that sentiment too.

On October 24, the Sun in Scorpio will square Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius.  On the plus side, this aspect will give us more energy, strength and motivation to work hard so that we can endure whatever difficulties we encounter and achieve our goals.  But the shadow side of this aspect is that our need for power can make us more controlling and obsessive.  We might be coming in touch with our fears of death or losing control of our lives.  Manipulation and jealousy could occur in relationships as well as ruthless behavior occurring.  But this aspect does hold the potential for rebirth.  This is especially true this time around because the Sun in Scorpio is squaring its ruling planet Pluto in Aquarius.  I know this to be true because I have a natal Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Leo aspect in my chart. The theme of needing to rebirth my life is a recurring one for me.  And I have learned the hard way that resistance to the need for change is futile...

We get a bit of a break on October 28 when Mars in Scorpio is trining Jupiter in 24 degrees of Cancer.  This will amplify our desire to win and can bring success to any endeavor we undertake.  Fortunate action is the theme of this aspect.  Decisive actions can be taken confidently.  This is also favorable for relationships.  Mars is right on my Venus in Scorpio in my 2nd house and is trining my Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house, so I am definitely keeping my mind open to new possibilities and hoping for the best.

Mercury departs the sign of Scorpio and enters Sagittarius on October 29.  But we have an extended and rather complicated transit of Mercury in Sagittarius due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde.  Mercury will station retrograde in 6 degrees of Sagittarius on November 9 and go back into Scorpio on November 18. It will station direct in 20 degrees of Scorpio on November 29 (right on my Scorpio Sun) and re-enter Sagittarius on December 11, where it remains until January 1, 2026.  I find it very interesting that we began the year 2025 with Mercury in 20 degrees of Sagittarius and we end it in 27 degrees.  This was due to last year's Mercury retrograde.

What can we expect when Mercury is in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius? Our mental focus will shift to more optimism, faith and search for the truth.  We could be inspired to travel or go back to school.  Mercury in Sagittarius is all about looking at the big picture, while Mercury in Scorpio was more detail-oriented and laser focused on a particular issue. When Mercury is in Sagittarius, our sense of humor is sharper, we are more honest, but can veer towards bluntness and tactlessness.  It is quite literally a time to think before we speak...

Mars Enters Leo and the Sun Enters Taurus with Squares to Both Mars and Pluto

 

The April angst continues and shows no sign of abating.  On April 18, Mars enters Leo until June 17, 2025.  Mars was previously in Leo back in November 2024, stationed retrograde in 6 degrees of Leo on December 6, 2024 and moved back into Cancer on January 6, 2025.  So basically we have spent most of 2025 with Mars in Cancer, a sign where it is not particularly happy or comfortable.  Defensiveness and passive aggressive behavior are associated with Mars in Cancer.

Mars is much happier in Leo but it is not as cooperative as it can be highly competitive. When Mars is in the fixed fire sign of Leo, there is a strong urge for recognition.  Anger can be triggered by a perceived lack of respect because the ego is highly sensitive during this time. Mars in Leo is also associated with being stubborn, since it is a fixed sign, but there is lots of enthusiasm and energy to accomplish things.  So we will be dealing with a much more direct expression of our energy, motivation and passion.

The Sun moves into Taurus on April 19 as our focus shifts to being more sensual, receptive, reliable and practical.  Determination and security needs become priorities for us within the next month.  It's a time to enjoy the finer things in life. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so pleasure is paramount.  Just don't forget that the shadow side of the Sun in Taurus is a tendency to be stubborn (it is fixed earth, after all) and possessive.

The Sun in Taurus wastes no time getting into the thick of things with planetary action.  On April 20, Easter Sunday and the end of Passover, the Sun will be squaring Mars in 0 degrees of Leo.  This could play out as tests of character from authority figures.  We can be irritable, impulsive and impatient.  We might be forced to defend our goals and desires.  The Sun squaring Mars can also lead to a build-up of anger, resentment or sexual frustration.  The most constructive way to channel this energy is to exercise or perhaps do some spring cleaning.

On April 23, the Sun in Taurus is squaring Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius.  This is another tough aspect which can lead to a need for power which can be accompanied by a tendency to be more assertive and controlling.  Watch out for power struggles, compulsive behavior in relationships and fears of losing control.  But the Sun square Pluto has the potential to bring rebirth if we are willing to let go.

I have my Sun in Scorpio squaring Mars in Aquarius and Pluto in Leo, so I am all too familiar with the volatile nature of these aspects.  I urge you not to underestimate their energy in terms of the potential for acting out and transformation.  And as a Scorpio, I am aware of the fact that transformation and rebirth tend to be somewhat uncomfortable.  So bear with this energy...

The last major aspect that I would like to discuss is the conjunction between Venus and Saturn in 27 degrees of Pisces occurring on April 24.  This aspect has occurred two other times: on April 7 in 25 degrees of Pisces when Venus was retrograde and on January 18, 2025 in 16 degrees of Pisces when both planets were direct.  The third hit of an aspect can quite literally be the charm when it actually manifests for us.  What is the theme of Venus conjunct Saturn? It can provide a major reality check in love and finances.  But there can be a sense of isolation, distance and difficulty in expressing feelings. If a romance does happen it can be quite karmic because commitment is associated with Saturn.  The Venus-Saturn conjunction in Pisces falls in my 6th house and is exactly trining my natal retrograde Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house, so I think that the adage the third time is the charm will ring true for me.  But with Uranus, you never how it will play out...

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto Take Some Hits Before the Sun Enters Scorpio

Well, we are all hopefully still standing after the powerhouse Super Full Moon in Aries on October 17.

On October 19, the Sun in Libra will be forming an inconjunct aspect to Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Inconjuncts are rather irritating aspects because the two planets involved are definitely not on the same page and there is always some type of adjustment required.  The Sun inconjunct Uranus brings a strong yearning for excitement and freedom, but we can feel the pressure to make changes.  The rub is that fear, uncertainty, and insecurity can hamper our decision making process. Don't resist the concept of change (that is futile) but try to focus on a single goal instead of making a multitude of massive changes all at once.  It's okay to start with small changes...

The Sun in Libra will also be inconjunct Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces on October 20.  Creativity could suffer on this day in addition to confusion, insecurities and fantasies prevailing in relationships.  Our intuition is not aligned with our ego on this day.  And we will have a tendency to fall for illusions in order to avoid confrontation, which Libra for the most part does not like and tries to avoid. So be very careful on this day...

There is a big day happening astrologically on October 22.  The Sun in Libra's swan song is a square to Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn at 10:15 a.m.  This is the classic power struggle aspect that has a strong theme of control issues emerging.  Intense experiences will occur that trigger deep psychological fears of death or losing control.  Watch out for manipulation, compulsive behavior, obsessions and jealousy to rear their ugly heads.  The most constructive way to deal with this aspect is to sacrifice your need for control so that transformation (Pluto's theme) can occur. I have this aspect natally in my chart, so I am too familiar with it. This energy is amplified because it is occurring in the 29th or anaretic degree.

The Sun will take a deep dive into the fixed water sign of Scorpio at 6:15 p.m. on October 22.  When the Sun is in Scorpio, we have a strong desire to get to the bottom of things.  And we have the determination, passion, courage and perseverance to obtain the truth.  Intensity is the name of the game, but the shadow side of Scorpio is jealousy, resentment and vindictiveness.  Scorpio is a sign of extremes with an all-or-nothing vibe.  This is completely different energy from the previous Sun sign of Libra, which is geared towards compromise and people pleasing. Vive la difference!

On October 24, Mars in Cancer will be forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 26 degrees of Taurus.  It's really nice to see Uranus getting a break after getting clobbered by the Sun a few days earlier.  Mars sextiling Uranus increases our desire for fun and excitement.  It can also attract people who are different and more stimulating.  Sextiles bring opportunities into our lives that we need to take advantage of or we will lose out.  Mars sextiling Cancer can bring someone new into our sphere, but it can signify the chance to break away from relationships that limit your freedom or self-expression.

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! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology

The Sun and Mercury Make Some Major Moves Before They Enter Scorpio

 

The Sun and Mercury are winding up their time in Libra before they enter Scorpio, but they are both making grand exits.  On October 20, the Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 26 degrees of Libra.  This aspect will cause increased mental stimulation and deliver new perspectives.  It is exactly conjunct my natal Neptune in my 1st house and also conjunct my natal Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio, so I suspect that it will be an enlightening day for me.

Mercury in Libra is exactly squaring Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn on October 20 as well.  The tension of the square could deliver a crisis, but we can be guaranteed of deep thinking and intense interactions.  Be brave on this day and remember that we very well might need to make a psychological choice.

On October 21, the Sun in Libra is squaring Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  I happen to have a natal Sun/Pluto square in my chart in the fixed signs of Scorpio and Leo, so I am all too familiar with the ramifications of this aspect.  Sun squaring Pluto is all about power, control, and assertion, but it also can lead to major transformation if you can get past its potential for manipulative behavior.  Just warning you that this could be a tough day...

On October 22, Mercury enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio until November 10.  When Mercury is in Scorpio, our thoughts and communication are more probing and intense.  We seek to uncover hidden truths and will leave no stone unturned.  Our conversations will be deeper but can also be obsessive and sarcastic.  Scorpio is renowned for its stinger.  But we can be very persuasive and our words are very powerful.  Mercury in Scorpio is also trining Saturn in 0 degrees of Pisces on this day.  This can be a very positive influence, as our powers of concentration are strong, as is our attention to detail.  Common sense is readily available and we can make long-term plans.  Quite literally, we are accountable for our actions in a good way.  This can be a very grounding influence.

We have one another prominent aspect featured on October 22.  Venus in Virgo is trining Jupiter in 12 degrees of Taurus.  This is another very positive aspect that tends to bring good cheer, optimism, love, socializing and a penchant for shopping.  After all, it is a meeting of the two benefics.  The only potential downside to this aspect is that Venus is in fall in Virgo, and it can be prone to being somewhat stingy and critical.  Just be mindful of these qualities and we should be just fine.

On October 23, the Sun enters Scorpio and we are officially in Scorpio season.  Our focus shifts to desire, passion and extremes of feeling. We can be very strong-willed now (Scorpio is the fixed water sign, after all) and intensity is the name of the game.  It can also be a time of immense healing and transformation, so be mindful of that.  The shadow side of the Sun in Scorpio is jealousy, vindictiveness and manipulation.  I am sure that you have been warned to never cross a Scorpio or you will live to regret it.  Scorpio can be the most loyal friend in the world but they can also be your worst enemy.  It really is true about the extremes of emotion...

The Sun in Scorpio is trining Saturn in Pisces on October 24.  This is a day of patience, persistence and determination.  Set your goals and you just might find that you can reach them more easily than usual.  Even if you assume added responsibilities on this day, it won't feel stressful.  You might score a promotion, gain recognition for your abilities and wind up feeling better about yourself.  This aspect is a boon for higher self-esteem.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading with me.

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:

I also wanted to note that in an ironic twist of fate, the latest variant of COVID is EG.5, with a nickname of Eris.  Sound familiar--the Goddess of Discord?  Apparently, COVID cases and hospitalizations are on the rise...

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!
