Pluto Goes Direct in Capricorn, Mercury in Scorpio, Sun Square Mars, A Super-Charged Full Moon in Aries and Venus in Sagittarius

 

We have an extraordinarily active week ahead of us astrologically.  It starts on October 11 when Pluto moves into direct motion in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  Pluto has been retrograde since May 2, when it stationed retrograde in 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto is entering its last phase of its journey through Capricorn as it prepares for its entrance into Aquarius on November 19 until 2043.  Now that Pluto is moving ahead in the anaretic or critical degree of Capricorn, we can feel freer to reshape the structures in our lives.  It is important for us to remember not to fear the important changes in our lives.  Changes are coming whether we like it or not. But the shadow side of Pluto at the end of Capricorn is that we might be dealing with last ditch attempts at power grabs to hold on to some old and outworn structures. Politically, this could get quite ugly in the coming weeks, especially with the elections in the United States.

Mercury is entering the fixed water sign of Scorpio on October 13 until November 2.  Mercury in Scorpio is an excellent placement for engaging in research because it is so probing and intense.  There is a strong desire to uncover hidden truths and our conversations will be deep.  There is also the potential for seething, anger and spite to emerge over past grievances.  Scorpio is a sign renowned for its ability to hold a grudge and never forget a past wrong.  I have my natal Mercury in Scorpio in addition to my Sun, Saturn and Venus, so I am very familiar with this vibe.

The Sun in Libra will be exactly squaring Mars in 21 degrees of Cancer on October 14. The heads up on this aspect is that we can expect a certain amount of irritability, impatience, recklessness and impulsiveness. Don't be surprised if challenging events and people force you to defend your goals or desires.  Watch out for a build-up of anger, resentment and possible sexual frustration.  Despite the fact that this aspect falls in cardinal signs, which love to initiate action, the best way to cope with this energy is to be defensive, not offensive.  Of course, this aspect is a big lead-up to the Full Moon in Aries on October 17 because Mars rules the sign of Aries.

There is a Super Full Moon in 24 degrees of Aries on October 17.  It is extremely close to the earth and also figures into a Cardinal Grand Cross involving the Sun in Libra, the Moon and Chiron in Aries, Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn.  We will all experience emotional intensity and power issues galore.  But anyone with planets or points (and this means Ascendant, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) in 24-29 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel the brunt of this Full Moon.

How is this going to play out?  For starters, the Full Moon in Aries will be conjunct Chiron in 21 degrees of Aries.  This is bound to be emotionally wounding.  And the Moon in 24 degrees of Aries is squaring Mars in 22 degrees of Cancer, so the levels of anger can be palpable.  The Full Moon in Aries is also squaring Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn, which can set the stage for compulsive and destructive behavior.  Emotional power struggles are highly likely.  But the Moon squaring Pluto can ultimately lead to transformation of emotional behavior in relationships if we remain open to it.  The saving grace aspect of this Full Moon in Aries is the supportive sextile that it forms to Jupiter (newly retrograde since October 9) in 21 degrees of Gemini. This can bring us more optimism, generosity and idealism.  We'll take it...

Venus leaves Scorpio at 3:28 p.m. on October 17 and enters Sagittarius, where it resides until November 11.  Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign and Venus will be more direct, light-hearted and adventurous than it was in Scorpio. We might feel like taking a chance on romance while Venus is in Sagittarius.

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 in Cancer Sees Some Action and Jupiter Goes Retrograde

Well, we all have hopefully survived eclipse season. Technically, we enter the shadow of the Solar Eclipse in Libra of October 2 on October 5 so that it is safer to act on implementing change.  On October 2, I posted:

Today is the big #SolarEclipse in Libra that will profoundly affect relationships. It is a South Node eclipse which has a theme of release and beginning a new phase after the ending of an old one. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 2, 2024

The Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Libra was widely squaring Mars in 15 degrees of Cancer.  But we are by no means done with the hits to Mars in Cancer.  On October 6, Mercury in Libra will be squaring Mars in 17 degrees of Cancer.  This day has strong themes of frustration, short-temperedness and aggression.  It can also be accompanied by rushed thinking and disagreements.  I would strongly encourage everyone NOT to make any major decisions on this day if you can help it.

The Sun in Libra will also be inconjunct Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces on October 6. When the Sun is inconjunct Saturn, we are dealing with a major imbalance between what we want to do and what must be done.  It represents a conflict between freedom and responsibility.  Our sense of freedom is hampered and we have to remain flexible so that we can be prepared to  make adjustments.  Adjustments is always the key word when an inconjunct is present.

But Venus in Scorpio is trining Mars in 18 degrees of Cancer on October 8.  This is a very nice aspect that increases our desire for social contact and love.  It also stimulates our creativity.  After the last few weeks, we'll take it...

We have another delightful aspect occurring on October 8.  Mercury in Libra is trining Jupiter in 21 degrees of Gemini.  Optimism and good news are hallmarks of this happy occurrence.  It's a perfect time to make plans because it is a very future-oriented vibe. It facilitates meeting new people too that can become friends and is also very auspicious for travel.

On October 9 Jupiter stations retrograde in 21 degrees of Gemini until February 4, 2025, when it moves forward in 11 degrees of Gemini.  Jupiter retrograde happens every year and is not nearly as traumatic as Mercury retrograde, so there is no need to fear it.  It is a time of introspection and spiritual growth on an inner rather than an external level as we reexamine our deep beliefs and ethics.  It also represents an opportunity to face out past mistakes so that we can right our wrongs.  We will probably develop an awareness that our truths can be very different from the truths of those around us.  Since Jupiter also represents luck, we just might find that we need to make our own luck because when Jupiter is retrograde it is definitely an inside job.  Our growth and expansion are on a more spiritual level.  The shadow side of Jupiter retrograde is that we can be prone to greediness and self-indulgence.

If you have planets between 21 and 11 degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you will have a deeper and more profound experience with this Jupiter retrograde.  I have my natal Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini in my 8th house and while I did experience the conjunction in August, I know that I really didn't take full advantage of that opportunity, so I am looking forward to having it occur again in mid to late December 2024.  The important thing to remember with Jupiter transits is that you must utilize them and take advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves to you.  It's not like Uranus, Pluto or Saturn transits that tend to hit you pretty hard and are impossible to ignore.  It's literally a case of if you snooze, you lose with Jupiter transits.  The best part for me is I will get yet another opportunity for Jupiter to conjunct my Moon in March 2025 when Jupiter in Gemini is direct.  And that is food for thought...

The bottom line is that this coming week will open a small window of opportunity to act and implement new ideas before we have Pluto turning direct in Capricorn on October 11 for its final journey before entering Aquarius on November 19, the Sun in Libra squaring Mars in Cancer on October 14 and a Full Moon in Aries on October 17. And how could we forget that the Sun will enter Scorpio on November 22 ramping up the intensity level even more.

A Strong Theme of Relationships Prevails with a Solar Eclipse in Libra

We are edging into the last eclipse of this season and I know that many of you are feeling it already.  We already had the Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Virgo on September 17 and we are facing a Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Libra on October 2.

Before we experience the Solar Eclipse, we actually have a couple of delightful aspects coming our way.  On September 30, Mars in Cancer is trining Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces.  It is such a relief to see these two planets getting along. I have a natal Mars-Saturn square, and I know firsthand how contentious and frustrating it can be.  It can feel like you just can't make any progress when Mars and Saturn are in challenging aspects, like a square, opposition or inconjunct. This aspect will give us strength, ambition and perseverance to tackle those difficult tasks we are facing and succeed. This is truly a day when patience and self-discipline will pay off.  

The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 7 degrees of Libra on September 30 too.  This aspect blesses us with mental alertness, quick thinking and adaptability.  We are in the mood to share ideas, meet new people and schedule appointments.  It's definitely a good idea to put your thinking cap on and expect positive results.

The Sun and Moon are conjunct in 10 degrees of Libra at 2:49 p.m. on October 2 for the Solar Eclipse.  It is a South Node eclipse, which means that we are moving away from the past.  For some people, relationships could be ending or we could find ourselves needing to release a situation so that we can enter a new phase in our lives.  This Solar Eclipse in Libra will focus on big changes in relationships and developing more of a sense of balance in existing relationships.  The sign of Libra is also associated with the law (the scales of balance), so it's possible that important legal cases could be in the news.  While we had a Solar Eclipse in Libra last year in 21 degrees on October 14, we actually had one in exactly 10 degrees of Libra on October 3, 2005.  I encourage anyone old enough to remember whatever issues you were facing back then and see if any of them come up again this time.

The planet Venus rules Libra and Venus in 11 degrees of Scorpio will be forming a grand water trine with Mars in 15 degrees of Cancer and Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces.  This only reinforces the importance of relationships during this eclipse.  Venus and Mars are associated with love and desire, while Saturn pertains to structures and boundaries.  So there is no way that relationships are not going to be affected by this eclipse. A grand water trine can be very beneficial, but prepare yourself for a big day of the feels as emotions are heightened.

I can tell you that anyone who has planets or points (like Ascendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) between 5-15 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will definitely be feeling the effects of this Solar Eclipse on their relationships.  This Solar Eclipse falls in my 12th house but has a wide conjunction to my Libra Ascendant and squares my North Node in Capricorn and South Node in Cancer.  So I know that this eclipse will have a profound effect on my future as it guides me to release the past and move forward on my soul's destiny, which is what the North Node represents.  It probably won't be easy, but that is the nature of life.

What else is happening astrologically on the day of the Solar Eclipse?  The Solar Eclipse will be inconjunct Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces, which will require some adjustments in relationships.  It can also make us feel a little more reserved and aware if our needs are not being met.  Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces is forming a semi-square to Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn, which will provide a major reality check. This is actually the first major aspect between Saturn and Pluto since that conjunction in January 2020 that kicked off the pandemic.  I wouldn't be surprised if some restrictions were announced.  This aspect will remain in effect until January 2025.

Mars in 15 degrees of Cancer will be forming a quindecile (165 degrees apart) aspect with Pluto in 29 degrees on October 2.  Yes, Pluto in Capricorn is definitely getting some hits on this eclipse.  With Mars aspecting Pluto on an eclipse, there will be determination galore, but there can also be an obsessive and compulsive quality to the mix.

Mercury in 11 degrees of Libra is also forming a quindecile to Uranus in 26 degrees of Taurus. which could generate some new and unconventional ideas.  Don't rule out some mental breakthroughs involving technology on this Solar Eclipse.

A Very Busy Week as the Sun and Mercury Enter Libra While Venus Moves into Scorpio

Well, we are in that week between eclipses which can be somewhat uncomfortable. On September 17, we had the first of two eclipses: a Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Pisces.  I posted this on that day:

The #LunarEclipse in Pisces today is also squaring Jupiter in Gemini amplifying our emotions and placing an emphasis on moving towards the future. This eclipse has a strong theme of releasing the past and embracing a new life. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 17, 2024

The Sun and Mercury are getting ready to depart the mutable sign of Virgo for the cardinal air sign of Libra.  But both planets still have a few moves up their sleeves before they leave Virgo.  On September 20, the Sun in Virgo will be opposing Neptune in 28 degrees in Pisces.  This can bring confusion, uncertainty, deception and some second guessing of our plans.  It is not a good day to start new relationships (because nothing or no one is as they appear).  We are also more susceptible to addiction or escapism on this day.  Just giving you a heads up...

On September 21, we have a mixed bag aspect as Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini.  This can be accompanied by optimism, a positive outlook and a view of the big picture. But the devil can be in the details.  There can be a tendency towards cockiness or exaggeration.

The Sun in Virgo will be trining Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 22.  This represents intense and profound experiences but it can also afford us the opportunity to purge what isn't working for us because Pluto also symbolizes elimination and both planets are in the anaretic or critical degrees (29) of their respective signs.

The Sun will enter Libra at 8:44 a.m. on September 22 as our focus shifts to being more sociable, tactful, peacemaking and more cooperative.  We are more amenable to compromise while the Sun is in Libra.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is a tendency to be more passive-aggressive and indecisive, however.

Venus is pretty busy on September 22 too.  Venus in Libra squares Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn at 5:15 pm on that day and that will stir the pot with power and control issues in relationships.  Watch out for manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness to emerge.

Venus moves into Scorpio at 10:36 p.m. on the 22nd until October 17.  When Venus is in Scorpio, love becomes more intense, passionate and magnetic.  It's an all or nothing vibe.  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, so we can expect a certain amount of drama and power struggle.  It's not for the faint of heart...

Mercury in Virgo is trining Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on September 24.  This is a welcome respite from the square on September 7 when Mercury was in Leo.  It opens our minds to new possibilities and the potential for exciting news.  Intuition is strong and apt to be quite correct on this day.  

Mercury in Virgo trines Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 26.  Our words will have strong powers of persuasion on this day and we can be quite influential if we set our minds to it.  It's also favorable for obtaining a psychic reading or starting therapy.

Finally, Mercury enters Libra at 4:09 a.m. on September 26 and remains in Libra until October 13.  Mercury in Libra is characterized by diplomacy, friendliness and a more rational approach to relationships.  Our mental focus is on achieving fairness and balance.

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:

Eclipse Season is Here with a Potent Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 17

 

Eclipse season is officially here as we prepare for a partial Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Pisces on September 17, 2024.  Lunar eclipses are like Full Moons on steroids and their effects can be felt for about six weeks before and after they occur.  So if you have been feeling very emotional recently, you have already been picking up on its vibe.

Before the actual eclipse occurs, we do have a delightful aspect to anticipate on September 15.  Venus in its home sign of Libra will be trining Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini.  This energy is perfect for relationships, socializing and the arts.  It can also emphasize the abundance in our lives.  Venus and Jupiter are known as the Benefics, so they tend to bring good fortune, love and beauty into our lives.  They get along quite well together, even more so with a trine aspect.

The main event, the Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Pisces, occurs at 10:34 p.m. on September 17.  The last time we had a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces was on September 16, 2016 in 24 degrees of Pisces. You might want to reflect on what was going on for you back then.  Some of the same issues could resurface.  Full Moons do tend to represent endings and Pisces is the last sign in the zodiac, so this theme is reinforced.  Pisces is also a water sign, which ramps up the emotional nature of this eclipse.  We are definitely going to be dealing with themes of major changes, letting go and endings. And this is a Super Moon because the Moon is so close to the earth.

There is a great deal of emphasis on earth signs with this eclipse.  The Sun in Virgo is involved in a Grand Earth trine with Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus and Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  Be prepared for a reality check with all of this earth energy.  But this also means that the Moon in Pisces is forming supportive sextiles to Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn, so positive changes are possible.

The Moon is also conjunct Neptune in 28 degrees of Pisces and this emphasizes themes of healing and creativity.  There could be big reveals about health issues during this eclipse. I wouldn't be surprised if news emerged about COVID.  Cases have been rising over the summer and there is a consensus that we could face another major outbreak at the end of this year.  And there are new vaccines available to combat the latest strains.  A Full Moon-Neptune conjunction can also indicate a reality shift, as all is not what it appears to be.

The Moon in Pisces is also opposing Mercury in 10 degrees of Virgo early in the morning, which can add to difficulties in expressing our feelings and the potential for confusion and arguments.  The Moon in Pisces also conjuncts Saturn in 15 degrees a few hours later and this entails a heavy theme of responsibility, as well as increasing the likelihood of feeling lonely and depressed.

Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini is also involved in the eclipse, as it features in a mutable T-square with the Sun in Virgo and Moon in Pisces.  When the Moon is squaring Jupiter, we can be inclined towards extravagance and too much of a good thing.  We can also feel like engaging in some escapist behavior with the Moon being conjunct Neptune in Pisces.  T-squares are challenging configurations, but they do serve to motivate us to change.  And the name of the game with eclipses is change. It's just that there are a lot of moving parts with this eclipse.  I think that everyone will be profoundly affected by this eclipse, whether they are mutable signs (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius), earth signs or water signs.  Don't rule out Uranus in Taurus as a wild card in this eclipse, even though it is in favorable aspect to the Sun in Virgo by trine and to the Moon by sextile. Surprises are bound to happen. Try to remember that whatever we need to let to go of will pave the way for new beginnings.    

Here is a copy of the chart for this Lunar Eclipse.

Mercury in Leo Has One Final Punch Before it Enters Virgo and the Sun Has a Face Off with Saturn

 

Mercury stationed direct in Leo on August 28, but many people are still feeling the effects of Mercury retrograde.  This is because Mercury doesn't officially clear its retrograde shadow until September 12.  On September 7, we have one more reminder of how disruptive Mercury in Leo can be when it squares Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus.  We also had this aspect occurring between Mercury in Leo and Uranus in 26 degrees of their respective signs on July 21 with the second Full Moon in Capricorn in 29 degrees.  And Mercury was in its shadow period back then, preparing to go retrograde on August 5.  When Mercury squares Uranus, misunderstandings are possible, but there is also the potential for seeing things in a totally different perspective. This aspect also tends to deliver excitement and changes to our daily routines, upsets and a fair amount of nervous tension.  I have this aspect natally, so I know all too well what it entails.  All I can say is to reflect back to July 21 to see if any of the issues that you faced on that day resurface for a do over.  And let us not forget that President Biden announced that he would not be running for another term as President of the United States on that day, so the theme of sudden and shocking news is very relevant.  As we astrologers say, you can't make this stuff up...

On September 8, the Sun in Virgo will be exactly opposing Saturn in 16 degrees of Pisces.  This is kind of a buzzkill aspect because it involves restrictions, hardships and limitations.  Frustration is the name of the game.  Feelings of depression and distance in relationships are also possible manifestations of this aspect.  Try to be patient because it will pass and work hard, even though we won't see immediate results.  Saturn is just doing its cosmic job of testing us.  The Sun will also be entering my 12th house on this day, so I have very low expectations for my energy levels during the next month.  I can always tell every year when this happens as I find myself needing more rest and attention to my health.

But on September 9, Mercury will re-enter Virgo (it was in Virgo when it stationed retrograde on August 5) and it will stay in Virgo until September 26.  Mercury rules Virgo and Gemini, so it is very happy in the sign of Virgo.  Our speech will be very precise now and quite productive.  We are more focused on details, efficiency and critical thinking. We find it very easy to be analytical while Mercury is in Virgo.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Mercury in Virgo is a tendency to be hypercritical.  We run the risk of insulting others or becoming frustrated with our own flaws.  Mercury in Virgo will be forming a supportive sextile to Mars in 3 degrees of Cancer on September 11, which can help us engage in asserting ourselves in a clear and decisive manner while maintaining a measure of compassion.

The Sun in Virgo will be squaring Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini on September 12. Fortunately, this is one of the least problematic squares.  Granted, it can bring overexuberance and overconfidence with the potential for excessive pride.  It is a very high energy aspect that has a theme of being careful not to overextend ourselves.  Don't bite off more than you can chew or overcommit.  Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches, so we might be inclined to over socialize or make promises to others that are hard to keep.  Try to remember to breathe first before you decide to do something and this can be an enjoyable day.
