Mars entered the sign of Sagittarius on August
2, 2016, the same day as the New Moon in Leo.
On that day I tweeted:
“Mars enters Sagittarius today renewing our energy & providing
a green light to move forward with courage and inspiration.”
Mars was previously in Sagittarius from March 5
through May 27, 2016 but it moved back into Scorpio after a grueling Mars
retrograde that featured themes of purging, clearing and healing. Fellow
astrologer Lisa Zimmerman described its theme as Letting the Past Go and I
wholeheartedly concur. Mars may be a co-ruler of Scorpio, but it has a very
intense vibe in the sign of Scorpio, which is not a sign for lightweights, as
astrologer Dietrech Pessin frequently says. Mars was previously in Scorpio from January 4th
through early March. The Mars retrograde
was a period of feeling stuck and now that Mars is direct in Sagittarius we can
literally have a do-over for projects that got stalled last spring.
Mars in Sagittarius has a much happier, lighter,
free-spirited and more optimistic vibe. It
is fun-loving, courageous and inspiring. lt is a very positive, auspicious omen
that it reentered Sagittarius on the New Moon in Leo, which pertains to
creativity and self-expression. The
first three weeks in August are prime time for taking some kind of action
towards creating something new in our lives.
Why do I say the first three weeks in August? Well, folks, that is because Mars in
Sagittarius will conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius on August 24th. This conjunction is a difficult, challenging
aspect that will feel like you are driving full speed with your foot on the
brake. In other words, we will
definitely experience some form of discouragement and delay in forward movement. So make hay while that Leo sun is still
shining and Mars has a lighter, more carefree vibe. By August 24th the sun will be in
Leo and on August 30th Mercury will retrograde in Virgo. Enough said. With Mercury retrograde until
September 22nd, our best course of action is to tweak any changes
that we implemented during the first three weeks in August. At least Mercury in Virgo will provide a much
needed analytical resource for that tweaking.
Venus has been in playful, fun-loving Leo since
July 13, 2016, but on August 5th it enters the sign of Virgo, where
it will reside until August 29th. I realize that many are dismayed
by this placement, since Venus is considered to be in its fall in the sign of
Virgo. Venus in Virgo wants to serve and
improve and it may demonstrate its love by criticizing. Nagging is a sign that someone with Venus in
Virgo cares, if that is any consolation. There might be an increased focus on
physical flaws, but it can also be a time to develop a little self-love. Venus
in Virgo can be an optimal time to focus on new health and exercise regimes. While
Venus in Virgo is not as light-hearted as Venus in Leo, it still can be a very
alluring Venus placement. Eleanor Roosevelt had Venus in Virgo emphasizing the
theme of service, but Brigitte Bardot, Julia Roberts, Robert Redford and Catherine
Zeta Jones also have Venus in Virgo.
Mars is in a lighter sign in Sagittarius and
Venus is getting more serious in Virgo.
On August 6, 2016 Mars and Venus will form a very challenging aspect by
squaring each other. This could play out in some relationship difficulties accompanied
by competitive feelings. Or some lucky
souls could experience passion and sparks flying with new encounters. On August 15, 2016, Venus in Virgo will conjunct
the north node in Virgo and this is a very good thing because it helps us align
with our soul’s mission. If you are
single and meet someone new around August 15th, it could be a very
profound, life-altering relationship.
Mars and Venus changing signs could prove to be
major game changers for relationships.
If you are curious as to how this will affect your relationships, why
not consider getting an astrological reading to obtain more insight?
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 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 summer months a little easier. If you purchase a six month transit reading,
I will even look at how September’s eclipses affect you! You can learn more
