Venus Enters Aries and Jupiter Goes Direct in Cancer

 

Okay, we are still standing after last week's Mars-Uranus square which triggered the bombing of Iran, especially with Mars in Aquarius being the first planet to conjunct the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius of February 17  and this week's Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3.  Now we are about to experience the movement of the two greater benefic planets Venus and Jupiter.

On March 6, 2026 Venus departs its sign of exaltation, Pisces and moves into Aries until March 30. Venus is actually considered to be in detriment in Aries (and Scorpio) because it rules Libra and Taurus, so it is not all that comfortable there.  When Venus is in Aries, there is a strong desire for excitement and a marked lack of patience.  It's all about the thrill of the chase, but the spark can fade quickly.  Spontaneity rules and we can be extremely impulsive.  This pertains to love and money. Be mindful of those two areas in life.

On March 7, Venus and Neptune are conjunct in 1 degree of Aries.  This increases our sensitivity and tendency towards daydreaming.  Fantasizing is very common with this aspect.  If you are single and meet someone new they could feel like a soulmate.  Compassion levels are high when Venus and Neptune merge. But there is also risk of disappointment if you have been in denial about the harsh realities of a toxic relationship.

The Sun and retrograde Mercury are conjunct in 17 degrees of Pisces on March 7 too.  Don't be surprised if you hear from some ghosts on that day.  It could be a friend, foe or ex-lover that reaches out to you on that day and there is the potential for something to be clarified now.  Mercury retrograde is notorious for stirring up people from our past and in the mutable water sign of sentimental Pisces, feelings can be intensified.

On March 8, Venus and Saturn are conjunct in 2 degrees of Aries.  This is a testing aspect and poses a harsh reality check.  Distance, separation and an inability to connect on a meaningful level are all possible manifestations.  Relationships as well as finances could be affected.  But if you do meet someone now it could be someone much older or the relationships could have a very karmic undertone.

Jupiter is finally going direct in 15 degrees of Cancer on March 10.  Jupiter has been retrograde since November 11, 2025 when it backtracked in 25 degrees of Cancer.  I have my natal Jupiter in Cancer, as well as my South Node, Midheaven and Uranus, so I have been feeling particularly frustrated in the luck and expansion department.  But this is definitely a day to rejoice because we can feel freer to act on our emotional intelligence.  Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer but when it was retrograde it wasn't operating at full strength.  We could have felt held back emotionally or in matters pertaining to our home lives.  Now we have a cosmic green light to act on projects that nurture our soul.  The planet of luck, faith and optimism is back on track and will continue its transit in Cancer until June 30.  

Both Venus and Jupiter are in cardinal signs now, so we are definitely up for initiating some action.  Hopefully we all will feel a boost of energy to get moving in a positive direction.

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 Opposes Pluto for the Third Time, a New Moon in Taurus and Venus Returns to Aries

 

The month of April is quite literally going out with a bang.  On April 26, we have the third opposition between Mars and Pluto.  The first one occurred on November 3, 2024 with Mars in 29 degrees of Cancer and Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  The second one happened on January 2, 2025 with Mars in 1 degree of Leo and Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius.  The one on April 26 occurs with Mars in 3 degrees of Leo and Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius.  When these two planets are facing off, the themes are tension, power struggles and control issues.  Mars in Leo does have the potential to give us the courage to break free of our fears and enter a new era that has a strong theme of transformation.  But we need to be mindful that anger could erupt and impulsive actions are possible.

The influence of Mars opposing Pluto is feeding into the New Moon in 7 degrees of Taurus on April 27.  Yes, folks, we have a T-square with the Sun and Moon in Taurus involving Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius that is testing our personal power limits while providing plenty of anger and frustration.  Mars and Pluto squaring the New Moon in Taurus makes it a whole lot more stressful than the usual New Moon in Taurus, which is generally associated with planting the seeds for secure foundations in our lives to create some stability.

But unless you have been living under a rock, I am sure you are aware that we are not living in stable or secure times.  Far from it.  I don't think that I am off the mark when I say that this New Moon in Taurus will probably feel like a Full Moon to many people, courtesy of that fixed T-square.  T-squares provide tension, but they do have a motivating factor.  There is a strong theme of release with this New Moon.  If you have any planets or points (like the Ascendant, Midheaven, IC or Descendant) in 0-7 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo or Scorpio, you will be feeling this energy quite acutely.  Fixed signs do not exactly embrace change with open arms, so it can be tough.  And with Pluto playing such a major factor, the rebirth process can be painful and difficult. What do you need to release in your life that is no longer serving your best interests?

 

New Moons are future-oriented and we can't overlook the fact that Venus and Saturn in Pisces have been conjunct the North Node in Pisces.  The North Node represents our collective destiny and our soul's mission.  Venus and Saturn were conjunct in 27 degrees of Pisces on April 24.  Venus will be in 28 degrees of Pisces on the New Moon and Saturn will be in 27 degrees of Pisces still conjunct the North Node in 27 degrees of Pisces on the New Moon.  The theme of Venus conjunct Saturn is a reality check but it can also entail acts of kindness and compassion that we need to carry forward.  Both Venus and Saturn will be departing the sign of Pisces soon to enter Aries, so try to embrace this concept.  Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces because of its capacity for compassion, empathy and unconditional love. I know that I am grateful for the small acts of kindness that I have been the recipient of during this past week and I think that this can be a starting point of reflection for all of us if we are to fulfill the mission of that North Node in Pisces.

Speaking of Venus, it enters Aries on April 30 and remains in Aries until June 6.  But Venus was previously in Aries from February 4 through March 29.  Who can forget the Venus retrograde transit that occurred from March 1 until April 12?  Venus stationed retrograde in 10 degrees of Aries in March and stationed direct in 24 degrees of Pisces on April 12.

Venus is spending a lot of time in Aries in 2025.  When Venus is in Aries, we are more independent, impulsive, bold and adventurous.  We tend to be more proactive and inclined to take risks.  We are also more impatient, blunt and love the thrill of the chase.  Financially it can be a time to invest in yourself.  Yes, Venus is the planet associated with love, but it also rules finances.  In mid-May, Venus will hit the Solar Eclipse point of 9 degrees of Aries and will also return to 10 degrees of Aries, where it stationed retrograde on March 1.  So we could very well be dealing with some unfinished business in love and finances.  Indeed it can be a time when we are not afraid to pursue love and financial gain.  We could be revisiting themes from earlier in the year.

Venus and Jupiter Are on the Move Launching the Month of February

 

I don't know about you, but I am delighted to see the month of January coming to a close.  It is an understatement to say that it has not been an easy or pleasant month.  As an astrologer, I fully realize that 2025 is a year of transition, but most people that I know are still reeling from the effects of January and sorely in need of some kind of break.

So I am thrilled that the shortest month of the year, February, begins on February 1 with a conjunction between Venus and Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces.  Venus conjunct Neptune can bring new romance, compassion, empathy, creativity and sensitivity.  It can heighten the spiritual bonding in existing relationships. Both planets are very happy in the sign of Pisces.  But we do need to be mindful of the potential pitfalls of this conjunction.  Venus conjunct Neptune can also bring disillusionment if we have been in denial about any existing problems in relationships or a tendency to overidealize a partner.  But it does stimulate our imagination and that can be a good thing.  I say that we make the most of it after an extremely challenging January...

More good vibes are in store for us on February 3 when Mercury in Aquarius is trining Jupiter in 11 degrees of Gemini. This can bring a sense of optimism and good news.  It is also very future-oriented.  It is a highly social vibe and enhances communication because both planets are in air signs, so don't waste the positive energy that this aspect promises.

Venus moves into Aries on February 4 through March 27 but it will be stationing retrograde in 10 degrees of Aries on March 1. It will station direct in 24 degrees of Pisces on April 12 and re-enter Aries on April 30.  Venus remains in Aries until June 6.  Yes, folks, we have another Venus retrograde this year (they occur approximately every 18 months) which will do a number on our relationships and finances. I was born during a Venus retrograde in Scorpio, so I am all too familiar with Venus retrograde.

But what can we expect when Venus is in Aries?  Venus in Aries is more spontaneous and direct as it craves the thrill of the chase.  It has a very live in the moment vibe which is quite different from Venus in Pisces.  Venus in Aries can also affect our finances by increasing our desire for instant gratification, so be careful not to overspend. But if you miss Venus in Pisces, never fear because Venus will return to Pisces on March 27 until April 30.  We will get another shot at Venus in its sign of exaltation, so if you missed out the first time from January 2 to February 4, you get a do-over.

We have another major astrological event on February 4.  Jupiter stations direct in 11 degrees of Gemini at 4:40 a.m.  Jupiter has been retrograde since October 9, 2024 when it slowed down in 21 degrees of Gemini. Jupiter will remain in Gemini until June 9, 2025, when it enters Cancer, its sign of exaltation. When Jupiter moves forward in Gemini, we can be presented with new opportunities and financial rewards.  Our faith is restored and we can start to feel lucky again. This is another cosmic break that we should be grateful for.

Aries Season Ramps Up as Venus Enters Aries and a Total Solar Eclipse in Aries

 

We are deep in the heart of Aries season, and if you aren't already feeling it with the Sun and Mercury retrograde in Aries, fasten your seatbelt because on April 5, Venus will leave the dreamy and placid water sign of Pisces to move into Aries until April 29.  When Venus is in Aries, love is more spontaneous, direct, and bold.  We are drawn to the thrill of the chase as passion and ardor take center stage.  And we can become impatient much more easily.

Venus in Aries will sextile Pluto in Aquarius on April 6.  Isn't it funny how all of these planets are meeting up with Pluto in Aquarius these days?  Venus sextiling Pluto is a quite a bit easier to take than a square, opposition or inconjunct, but it will still definitely deepen and intensity love.  Obsession is possible too, because that is the way these two planets act when they get together.  Existing relationships can take on a more profound level and our spirituality can be heightened.

The next big hit of Aries energy occurs on April 8 with the Total Solar Eclipse in 19 degrees of Aries.  This is really a major astrological event; we haven't had a total solar eclipse since August 21, 2017 in 29 degrees of Leo.  If you are old enough to remember, think back to April 8, 2005 because we had a Solar Eclipse in 19 degrees of Aries on that day.  Some of the same issues could be triggered for you.

Solar Eclipses are like New Moons on steroids and their effects can be felt for up to three months before and up to one year after they occur.  A Solar Eclipse in Aries has strong themes of new beginnings, claiming our inner authority, embarking on new adventures and finding the courage to take risks while being in the moment. Chiron is in 19 degrees of Aries on the Solar Eclipse, so it is exactly conjunct the Sun and Moon, which makes it a major player.  We could develop a major awareness of our wounds and victim consciousness, especially with retrograde Mercury in 25 degrees of Aries so close to the eclipse.  Mercury retrograde does have a way of making us review old stuff.  I don't particularly enjoy mentioning this, but Chiron in Aries also has a way of bringing gun violence: both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were killed when Chiron was in Aries in 1968.  Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, which does have a lot to do with aggression.  This is just a cautionary note that with Mercury and Chiron in the mix for the eclipse, we could hear some news about violence.  I certainly hope that it doesn't happen, but we might need to be prepared for anything.

Obviously this eclipse will impact everyone, but who will feel it the most?  If you have any cardinal planets or points (Ascendant, Midheaven, Imum Coeli, and Nodes of the Moon) in 16-22 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, you are going to feel this one big time.  Once again, I am right in the line of astrological fire.  My Ascendant is in 16 degrees of Libra, my Imum Coeli (cusp of the 4th house) is in 19 degrees of Capricorn and my Midheaven is in 19 degrees of Cancer.  Astrologer Jessica Adams has even said that if you have anything in your chart at 19 degrees, your chart will be activated by this eclipse.  And in addition to my cardinal placements, my Sun is in 19 degrees of Scorpio.  What is the best way to cope with all of this astrological intensity generated during the eclipse?  I tend to agree with Jessica that if you have do have planets or points activated on the Solar Eclipse, try not to make any major decisions on that day until more is revealed.  And let's face it, eclipses have a way of delivering big reveals.  The day of April 8 should be a newsworthy day, to say the least.

On April 10, Mars and Saturn are conjunct in 14 degrees of Pisces.  Normally we don't associate good times when Mars and Saturn are aligning and some might even interpret a conjunction in Pisces as indicators of military action at sea.  But we can always take the high road and utilize this configuration to apply it to a disciplined spiritual practice.  I would definitely like to sign up for that interpretation.

The Sun and Mercury will be conjunct on April 11 in 22 degrees of Aries.  Despite Mercury being retrograde, this aspect should generate lots of communication, mental alertness, curiosity and adaptability. Big ideas could be flowing on this day.

In the meantime, hang in there with this Mercury retrograde until April 25 (it's been quite crazy so far) and ride the wave of intensity that the month of April is delivering. 

I would like to announce that I have another article published on PowerFortunes.com.  This one is about the upcoming conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus on April 20.  I was born during a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Cancer, so it is very relevant for me.  And I believe that this will be one of the most positive aspects to occur in 2024.  You can read it at:

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, 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!

Pisces Season is Here with the Sun and a New Moon But Venus is Moving on into Aries as Mercury Gets Busy

 

The Sun is about to move into one of my favorite signs, Pisces.  It's no secret that I love the sign of Pisces because it is a water sign and trines all of my Scorpio and Cancer planets.  It is a relief for me because the Sun in Aquarius was squaring my Scorpio planets, which wasn't exactly a fun time. The Sun enters Pisces on February 18 and it ushers in a time when the vibe is more dreamy, visionary and spiritual.  Our focus is turned towards having more empathy, compassion and understanding for others. We have a more altruistic perspective and can hopefully act in a kinder fashion. Pisces is a mutable water sign and is inherently quite sensitive.  But because Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, it can also represent a time of endings, release and healing.  I personally find it to be highly creative as well, perhaps because it is ruled by Neptune.  It's important to remember the Neptune influence, because the shadow side of Neptune is escapism, addiction and victimization.  

On February 19, Venus in Pisces forms an exact sextile to Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  Venus is exalted in Pisces and when it forms a supportive sextile to Pluto, it can bring opportunities for a deeper, more intense level of loving as well as endings and adjustments.  Whenever a planet is in 29 degrees of a sign, it is considered the anaretic degree and it is extremely potent.  I have my natal Jupiter in 29 degrees and am looking forward to having Venus trine it, but having Pluto oppose it is a mixed bag.  We shall see...

We have another Super New Moon in 1 degree of Pisces on February 20, 2023.  This just means that the Moon will be in its closest approach to the earth.  This will be an extremely emotional New Moon and, spoiler alert, it has the potential to feel overwhelming.  I wouldn't be surprised if this New Moon brings some of us to tears.  But it can also help us to go inward, meditate more deeply and seek inner peace.  It can inspire unconditional love as well.  Mercury in Aquarius is sextiling Chiron in 13 degrees of Aries, which can reinforce the healing theme of a Pisces New Moon.  But just be mindful that the shadow side of a New Moon in Pisces can also bring flooding and deceit in relationships.

Venus moves into Aries on the day of the New Moon.  Venus will be in the cardinal fire sign of Aries until March 16, 2023.  When Venus is in Aries, love will become more spontaneous and direct as we are caught up in the thrill of the chase.  We also tend to be more blunt in our approach as our needs take center stage.  We are very self-focused, which is a marked difference from Venus in Pisces, which is extremely sensitive to the needs of others.  We tend to live in the moment and crave new experiences and adventure. Venus is not the happiest camper in the sign of Aries.

Mercury in Aquarius is squaring Uranus in 15 degrees of Taurus on February 21.  This aspect will bring excitement and changes to our daily lives, but it can also deliver misunderstandings and arguments in our communications.  Anxiety and stress are definitely on the table.  I have a natal Mercury-Uranus square and I can attest to its quality of nervous energy.

But on February 22, 2023, Mercury in Aquarius will be trining Mars in 16 degrees of Gemini.  So there is some relief because it will increase our mental energy and powers of concentration.  We are definitely more persuasive and if any damage occurred on the previous day, this aspect can help to mitigate the damage.

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?

Check out my menu of services at:

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 you are interested in learning more about astrology.

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. I also have a one-question tarot reading for only $15. 

Please consider purchasing a tarot reading for $15. This is perfect if you want some insight into yourself right now regarding a specific situation and how you can transform the challenges into opportunities. Check it out on: https://t.co/CvAZB7Fyvr pic.twitter.com/EKYmrZCn6l

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.
