The sabian symbol for the upcoming new moon in
8 degrees of Scorpio on October 30, 2016 is “A calm lake bathed in
moonlight. A quiet openness to higher
inspiration.”
The sabian symbols were produced in 1925 by
clairvoyant Elsie Wheeler with the help of astrologer Marc Edmund Jones in
Balboa Park in San Diego, California. I
usually don’t pay much attention to sabian symbols, but reading about this one
resonated for me big time.
This new moon in Scorpio holds enormous
potential for personal power, soul searching, purging toxins, and finding the
courage to face our shadow so that we can transform stagnation into
growth. Obviously it is a deeply
spiritual new moon linked to transformation (it’s in Scorpio, remember) and
letting go of the old patterns that no longer serve our highest good. Mercury and Neptune are major players in this
new moon. Mercury in Scorpio is conjunct
both the sun and moon and Neptune in Pisces forms a sweet trine, enhancing and
emphasizing the capacity for understanding, empathy and forgiveness. Neptune’s trine to the sun and moon also
holds the potential for miracles, healing and mysticism.
While this new moon sounds very promising with
all of these lovely positive aspects the road leading up to it was a bit
rocky. The moon in Libra from October
27-29 was not so nice and people pleasing; it wreaked its fair share of turmoil
and damage in relationships. That Libra
moon squared Pluto in Capricorn on October 28th, triggering some
power struggles. On the following day, still under the auspices of the Libra
moon, Mars in 21 degrees of Capricorn squares Uranus in 21 degrees of Aries,
opening the floodgates for bizarre occurrences to occur that will pose a serious
challenge to relationships, especially with that Libra moon squaring Mars in
Capricorn.
Despite the fact that Saturn and Neptune are no
longer forming an exact square (they are now 5 degrees apart), we are still
feeling their influence of questioning clarity, honesty and authenticity. And it didn’t help when that Libra moon
formed an irritating, challenging inconjunct or quincunx to Neptune in Pisces
on October 28th. More
adjustments and challenges to what is real, especially in relationships.
But on October 30, 2016 we should be focusing
on the power and strength of that new moon in Scorpio. It is always a good idea to set new
intentions on a new moon, and with a new moon in the deeply spiritual sign of
Scorpio, our focus should be on creating a daily anchor for our
spirituality. Meditation, self-healing
or affirmations are fine examples of the types of spiritual anchors we can
incorporate into our daily lives. I like to meditate and do a little Reiki on
myself each day, but the options are infinite.
I also have a vested interest, so to speak, in
this new moon because it is aspecting my chart very intensely. It conjuncts my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st
house, sextiles my north node in Capricorn in the 3rd house and
trines my south node in Cancer in my 9th house. I feel like I am literally being propelled to
let go of the past (south node in Cancer) while establishing new structure in
my life while facing my shadow side and overcoming fears and limitations
(Saturn in Scorpio) while pressing forward with my life purpose by
communicating more responsibly with my tribe (north node in Capricorn in the 3rd
house).
Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose
coaching training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach. It was an intense, eye-opening experience
that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life. But I left it with feelings of hope and light
for the future that I want to share with others. To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose
Coaching to my menu of services. You can
read more about it at:
As an astrologer, I have decided to include an
interpretation of the north node by sign and house placement as part of my
coaching program. After all, the north
node does represent the soul’s purpose in life, so why not use it as a
tool? If you are feeling stuck and need
some help in getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive
changes in your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if
you are a good fit for this program. I
look forward to hearing from you.
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 affected 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.
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 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.
