We just experienced a Full Moon in 26 degrees
of Aquarius on August 18, 2016. The
astrological community has been of two minds in terms of describing it as a
lunar eclipse. Some astrologers called
it a penumbral lunar eclipse, which is more subtle and difficult to observe because
only the outer shadow of the earth falls on the moon’s face. But other
astrologers are calling it an “Almost Eclipse.” But this full moon
may still have the impact of an eclipse in terms of the changes it brings. It still packed quite a punch because
Aquarius is the sign ruled by Aquarius and this full moon sextiled Uranus in
Aries, Aquarius revels in being considered unconventional and weird. Dramatic changes and visions of a new future
are highly likely as a result of this full moon. On August 18th, I
tweeted:
“#FullMoon in Aquarius has increased emphasis on wild card energy
with its sextile to Uranus in Aries.
Expect lots of changes.”
The full moon in Aquarius also formed a
challenging inconjunct (or as fellow astrologer Dietrech Pessin describes it, “Life’s
messy, clean it up”) aspect with both Mercury and Jupiter in
Virgo. That inconjunct inspired me to
tweet:
“Communications could get a little feisty and critical today as
Aquarius #FullMoon inconjuncts Mercury in Virgo. #AlmostEclipse feels like one!”
The full moon inconjunct Mercury and Jupiter in
Virgo generated massive amounts of mental tension that forced us to reexamine the
details (Virgo loves its details, after all) and fueled the edginess associated
with a full moon. And a full moon in
Aquarius tends to bring a heightened need for independence.
Letting go of situations and relationships that
no longer serve our highest good was also a major theme of this full moon. The sticking point with this is that anyone
with a preponderance of fixed signs in their chart (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and
Scorpio) know that this is no easy feat.
Fixed signs are tenacious and do not give up easily. That in itself has
its pros and cons.
Saturn in Sagittarius was also a heavy hitter
in this full moon. It recently stationed
direct on August 13th, prompting me to tweet:
“Saturn stations direct today & we have opportunity to release
blockages & limitations that have been keeping us stuck for months.”
The response to this tweet blew me away because
over 4000 people have seen this tweet in the past week. Obviously I struck a collective nerve!
Saturn is still involved with an ongoing square
with Neptune in Pisces which will be exact again on September 10, 2016. So the theme of what is real and how to make
our dreams a reality still prevails.
Saturn does love to prune away the deadwood, which certainly is a major
component of the release theme. Saturn in Sagittarius was also squaring the
nodes of the moon on this full moon, which puts more pressure on us to let go
of the past (south node stuff) and move forward on our path (north node). This volatile combination of Saturn, Neptune
and the nodes reinforces the theme of busting through our resistance to what
the future holds us for us. And there is
a palpable sense of urgency this this because Mars will catch up to Sagittarius
on August 24th and when this conjunction occurs, we will definitely
feel like the brakes have been slammed on.
On a personal level, I have been treating this
full moon as a full blown lunar eclipse.
It fell in my 5th house of creativity directly opposing my
Pluto in Leo in my 11th house.
It also squared my Venus in Scorpio in my 2nd house. It is bound to usher in major changes for me
in the areas of finances, values, creativity, aspirations, and group
relationships and affiliations.
I confess to having a very real fear of losing control
of my financial destiny as I await the outcome of Massachusetts Senate Bill
S2461. Will I lose my ability to
practice Reiki in 2017 if this bill is passed? I may need to devise some new
tools for generating this portion of my income as a healer.

The north node in Virgo has an underlying theme
of service to others. In that spirit of
pursuing my path as a healer, I am still channeling that north node and Jupiter
in Virgo energy by offering my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider
getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to
destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing. It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off
and can also be described as a spa for the soul to boot! Reiki is the most profound treatment for
stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

my site:
For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule
for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing
distance Reiki sessions for them. I have
a conversation with them 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 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. Additionally, I see clients
at my home in Newton, Massachusetts and am generally available on weekends and
evenings for your convenience.

If you are seeking more spiritual insight into your life, please
consider getting an astrological reading. An astrological reading can provide
valuable insight and tools. If you are
not quite ready for a full blown natal interpretation or a solar return
forecast, I also offer one question astrological readings and composite couple
readings that offer insight into the purpose of a relationship. And I offer
shorter transit readings for three and six months which might help you navigate
the rest of summer a little easier. If you purchase a three or six month
transit reading, I will even look at how September’s eclipses affect you! You
can learn more about my menu of astrological services, including the
opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your choice to demonstrate
your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter at:
A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is
a daily part of my spiritual practice.
Mars stationing direct this summer inspired me to launch a new
endeavor that will deliver my services to you at an affordable cost in the form
