Can you feel it? Today is the long-awaited last eclipse of
2016 and it is packing quite a punch. It
is a lunar eclipse in 24 degrees of Pisces and it is particularly potent
because Chiron in Pisces and Mars in Sagittarius are major players. Pisces is the uber emotional water sign and
relationships will feel the impact of this eclipse as the full moon opposes
retrograde Mercury in Virgo and inconjuncts Venus in Libra.
The full moon is conjunct Chiron in 22 degrees
of Pisces, which is really stirring the emotional pot by fully exposing (that’s
what lunar eclipses are all about, folks) old emotional wounds so they can
heal. Chiron’s influence is painful and
an upsetting part of the transition we are all facing. On September 15th, the sun in Virgo
was in direct opposition to Chiron, inspiring me to tweet:
“Virgo sun opposing Chiron in Pisces today could trigger some old
emotional wounds for healing. Prelude to
Friday’s lunar eclipse.”
There is no denial that this eclipse’s
connection with Chiron has a major theme of healing as all of us are forced to
confront our oldest, deepest emotional wounds.
Pisces is also a sign that represents spirituality and faith, but as I
have previously commented on numerous occasions, trusting in the process is
extremely difficult but very necessary
Mars in Sagittarius is not making this eclipse
any easier to deal with. It forms an
uncomfortable T-square with the sun and moon in Virgo and opposes Chiron in
Pisces. Mars squaring the moon can
really push our buttons and force the issue on releasing some karmic
baggage. Anger can erupt quite suddenly in
relationships if unexpected events occur due to the fact that Uranus in Aries
is also opposing Venus in Libra. And
Uranus in Aries is trining Mars in Sagittarius, which can provide courage and
drive to make the right moves and get unstuck.
Trust Uranus to get involved in the mix and make this lunar eclipse even
more interesting by adding the element of the unexpected. But the trine to Mars
is a positive aspect. There is massive potential for self-reflection during
this eclipse and lots of angry reactions.
But what are we really angry about? We may find ourselves lashing out or
projecting our anger for something totally unrelated.
I am definitely not immune from the effects of
this lunar eclipse. My chart is a
veritable land mine and I have been feeling extremely emotional, irritable and
exhausted for the past week. We are just
bouncing back from the last Saturn Neptune square on September 10th
and I went into eclipse mode on September 11th, the 15th
anniversary of 9/11. Why is this eclipse
impacting me so strongly? For starters,
it is opposing my progressed moon in Virgo and sextiling my natal Chiron in
Capricorn in the 4th house. It’s
hitting pretty close to home and bringing a lot of old emotional wounds up for
review. It is also trining my sun and Venus in Scorpio, as well as my
midheaven, Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer.
When a lunar eclipse forms a grand water trine with your natal chart, it’s
bound to be a highly charged emotional time. If you are curious as to how this
eclipse or the solar eclipse on September 1st is affecting you, I
highly recommend getting an astrological reading now to obtain greater insight
during this intensely transitional time.
Earlier this week I was watching a very
inspiring video with Henry Seltzer on this lunar eclipse. Check it out at:
Just click on the image of Henry’s face to
watch it.
Henry’s video featured a chart of the
eclipse. Being a Scorpio, I was struck
by the fact that the ascendant for the eclipse chart was 26 degrees of
Scorpio. But then I realized that the
chart was for Pacific Daylight Time and I immediately constructed a chart for
Eastern Daylight Time. That gave the
eclipse an ascendant of 7 degrees of Capricorn and Pluto was in 14 degrees of
Capricorn in the 1st house.
So my feeling that this eclipse has the potential to be very
transformative and Scorpionic was right on the mark. That eclipse ascendant is also conjunct my
north node, so I am definitely hoping that this eclipse will be instrumental
for me in ushering in a regenerative period of transformation and growth.
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.
