The eclipses may be over, but September is
still abuzz with astrological activity. Uranus in Aries continues to be a very
active key player in the September 16th lunar eclipse. It received a trine from Mars in Sagittarius on
that day and on September 17th, Venus in Libra opposed it. Changes, breakthroughs and heated exchanges in
relationships were a small part of the fallout of this eclipse. I sense that the effects of this lunar
eclipse will linger for a full six months and it will be interesting to see
where we are in March 2017, especially after the February 2017 eclipses.
The best news this week occurred on September
22, 2016 when Mercury stationed direct in 14 degrees of Virgo. Communication
and transportation snafus will slowly lift as Mercury picks up speed and moves
forward. We also experienced the Fall
Equinox on that day when the sun entered Libra. With the sun in Libra, the
energy will shift to a more social atmosphere. I love the season of fall and consider it to
be my own personal new year, when the air is crisp and the energy ripe for new
beginnings. The sun and Jupiter in Libra were also conjunct that day, fueling
the fires of optimism. And the moon was
in Gemini, so it was all about communication.
We just need to be mindful not to take on more than we can handle with
that connection to Jupiter, given Jupiter’s penchant for doing things in a big
way. Another perk of Mercury stationing
direct on September 22nd is that it conjuncted the north node in
Virgo. This is a very positive, auspicious
aspect because it empowers us with the ability to analyze our next steps and
move forward on our soul’s path.
We are also the beneficiary of two trines this
week from Mercury in Virgo to Pluto in Capricorn. The first occurred on September 20th
when Mercury was still retrograde, inspiring me to tweet:
“Mercury in Virgo trining Pluto in Capricorn today is a boon for
clearer communication & ability to focus. Our words have power.”
On September 23rd, Mercury direct
trines Pluto in Capricorn again, so make the most of this energy of this
potentially productive trine between analytical Virgo and powerful Capricorn. This is our second hit this week and its
potential shouldn’t be wasted.
On September 23, 2016 Venus exits its home sign
of Libra and plunges into the watery depths of Scorpio, where it will remain
until October 18th. The
emotional vibe in relationships will take on a more intense, all or nothing,
obsessive quality. Make no bones about
it, Venus in Scorpio does not have the lighthearted social butterfly quality of
Venus in Libra. It craves intimacy,
emotional depth and is quite adept at purging and detoxing in
relationships. I have my Venus in
Scorpio and I can attest to its totally accurate description of still waters
running deep.
The sun may be in Libra, but the Scorpio energy
gets kicked up a notch when its ruling planet Pluto stations direct in 14
degrees of Capricorn on September 26, 2016.
Pluto has been retrograde since April 18th, so we can start
to reap the benefits of the confrontation of our shadow side (especially our
desire for power) and revisiting old hurts so that our transformation can move
to the next level. And with Pluto direct
in Capricorn, just maybe we can make some progress in transforming our
government in a constructive manner.
Mars is finally changing signs, entering
Capricorn on September 27, 2016. Mars stays in Capricorn for about six weeks,
entering the free -wheeling sign of Aquarius on November 9, 2016. Mars has
spent most of 2016 in Scorpio and Sagittarius due to its extended retrograde
period from April 17th through June 29, 2016. It’s very interesting that both Mars and
Pluto, co-rulers of Scorpio, stationed retrograde so close to each other. And
they are headed for a conjunction in Capricorn on October 19th,
which could result in some major bullying.
More on that later…
But what can we expect from Mars in Capricorn?
Mars in Capricorn will lack the fiery enthusiasm of Mars in Sagittarius, as it
has a more disciplined, determined demeanor with a focus on making slow and
steady progress. It is a cautious, reserved Mars. The perk of Mars in Capricorn
is that we can take those ideals that surfaced during the long Mars in
Sagittarius transit and make them a reality.
Transiting Mars in Capricorn will be conjunct my natal north node on
October 10, 2016 and the sun enters my first house that day as well, so I am
eagerly anticipating an adrenaline boost of energy.
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 Virgo north node
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.
For more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on
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 2016 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
of package deals. I am offering four
