Mercury has FINALLY exited the shadow period of
the recent Mercury retrograde and entered the sign of Libra. Mercury was in
Virgo from July 30, 2016 until October 7, 2016 due to the most recent Mercury
retrograde of 2016. While Mercury in
Virgo may have been fine for analyzing and focusing on the details, it has a
loner, reclusive type vibe and can be a little heavy at times.
Mercury in Libra has a much more social vibe
and it can be much easier to see alternative solutions. It also favors romance and the arts. Don’t be
surprised if your social calendar becomes jam-packed between October 7th
through November 12th. It can
restore balance in communications because it is inherently a peacemaking
sign. Disputes can be resolved more
easily when Mercury is in Libra due to its rational, diplomatic nature that is
ruled by fairness. It is an auspicious time for partnerships and signing
contracts. Signing contracts was pretty
much verboten during Mercury retrograde until it was completely out of the shadow.
Mercury in Libra loves to collaborate and share ideas. On many levels, Mercury in Libra is the voice
of reason.
But Mercury in Libra will still face some
challenges. It really needs to be on top of its game and start the ground
running on its first day when the Sun in 14 degrees of Libra squares off with
Pluto in 14 degrees of Capricorn. That’s
right, folks, on October 7th, the Sun squares Pluto. I have this aspect natally (Scorpio sun
square Pluto in Leo), so I am all too aware of how this aspect can play
out. Hidden issues can emerge and power
struggles can manifest. And with sun in
Libra, don’t be surprised if relationships get a little intense with this
aspect. Overinflated egos can collide, but hopefully with the Sun, Mercury and
Jupiter in Libra, the voice of reason will prevail in any conflicts and peace
will be restored in relationships. All
of that Libra energy is conducive to smoking the peace pipe and reaching a
level of balance in relationships.
Another astrological aspect on October 7th
is Saturn in 12 degrees of Sagittarius squaring the north node in Virgo and
south node in Pisces. This challenging
aspect forces us, as only Saturn, the Great Taskmaster can, to take some
personal responsibility for our roles as victim/perpetrator or martyr/rescuer
in relationships. Saturn does not let us
forget that we need to be responsible and own our issues. So Mercury in Libra
can play a major role on that day in helping us remove blockages to fulfillment
in our relationships.
We really get some good news and a chance to
break out in a happy dance on October 10, 2016 when Mercury in 6 degrees of
Libra conjuncts Jupiter in 6 degrees of Libra. This is a perfect opportunity to
find our voice and say what needs to be said without hurting others. It reminds
me of the expression: “Say what you mean, mean what you say, but don’t
say it mean.” Mercury in Libra is
still transiting my 12th house and will be squaring my north node in
Capricorn in my 3rd house and south node in Cancer in my 9th
house on that day, which is a pretty clear indicator that I will have my own
communication issues to address. But I
will have the Libra sun in my 1st house by October 10th
and Mercury will enter my 1st house on October 17th. Jupiter in Libra joins the party on December
1, 2016, which is another cause for celebration.
We have our annual Sun/Uranus opposition coming
up on October 15th and a powerful full moon in Aries on October 16th,
so make the most of this Mercury in Libra energy until then. More on those aspects in next week’s post.
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 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.
