Super Full Moon Alert! The full moon in 23 degrees of Aries which
occurs on October 16, 2016 or October 15, 2016 if you live on the west coast of
the United States, is going to be one wild ride. It reminds me of the famous line Bette Davis
uttered in the movie All About Eve: “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a
bumpy night.” And Bette Davis was an Aries, to boot, born on April 5,
1908!
The buildup to this super full moon, which is
defined as when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to the earth
(aka perigee) began on October 13, 2016 when Mercury in Libra squared Mars in
Capricorn, prompting me to tweet:
“Tempers could definitely flare today as Mercury in Libra squares
Mars in Capricorn. The #FullMoon craziness is just starting.”
The moon entered Aries on October 14th
and on October 15th the sun opposed Uranus in Aries fueling the fire
for Uranus to become even more disruptive. I loved what astrologer Henry
Seltzer said about this full moon on his latest Astrograph post:
“Everyone acknowledges that this degree of dysfunction cannot go
on much longer. Something has got to
give.”
This full moon in Aries is all about Me (Aries
moon) vs. We (Libra sun) and it is quite clear that Me wants to come out on
top! The Aries full moon conjuncts
Uranus in 22 degrees of Aries, which is a strong indicator that it will be
electrifying, awakening and sudden, disruptive changes can and will occur. It can manifest on a personal level in our
relationships, but don’t be surprised if you also hear about even more shocking
events in the world. More craziness will
be exposed in a big, explosive way, accompanied by a major sense of urgency
that could lead to some pretty impulsive actions. It will be an extremely emotional full moon, especially
for anyone who has planets or points (ascendant, midheaven or nodes) around 23
degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. It is hitting close to home for me because this
full moon opposes my Neptune in the 1st house, squares my Cancer
midheaven, and trines my Pluto in Leo in the 11th house. If you are wondering how it will impact you,
this is the perfect time for you to get an astrological reading with me!
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

Mars and Pluto are not exactly innocent
bystanders in this full moon scenario, either.
Mars is in Capricorn, where it is very strong, but it is also the ruling
planet of Aries. On the full moon Mars
in Capricorn trines the north node in Virgo and sextiles the south node in
Pisces. This is actually a good thing
(thank heaven for small favors) because it is activating progress towards the
future if we are flexible and adaptable.
The nodes are in mutable signs, remember? We will definitely be feeling the pressure
for a new start and Mars in Capricorn will imbue us with focus, organization and
productivity to take action. Full moons
are times of completion, closure and revelations. Especially with Uranus in
Aries conjunct the full moon, we are literally shaking free from the past and
enduring some chaos in the process.
How does Pluto get involved? On October 15th, Mercury in Libra
squares Pluto in Capricorn. Angry,
assertive words can be used to manipulate with this aspect. There will be conflict galore. Mars in Capricorn is also moving towards an
exact conjunction with Pluto on October 19, 2016. Guess what is happening on that day? Another presidential debate! Pluto increases
its assertiveness and aggressiveness when it is aspected by Mars, so there will
most assuredly be more sudden surprises on the political front.
Speaking of the political front in the United
States, I couldn’t resist looking at the charts of the two main candidates, Donald
Trump and Hillary Clinton to see how they will fare with this full moon. Donald Trump has his natal Saturn in 23
degrees of Cancer in his 11th house of friends, groups and
aspirations. The 11th house
is ruled by Uranus. The full moon in 23 degrees of Aries falls in his 8th
house of sex, death, transformation and joint finances. It forms an exact square to his Saturn, so he
may on some level feel restricted and unsupported. Taxes are also associated
with the 8th house. Interestingly enough, Donald Trump has a challenging
moon/Saturn aspect in his natal chart- an inconjunct between Saturn in Cancer and
his moon in 21 degrees of Sagittarius.
This aspect can contribute to a difficult relationship with one’s mother
or women in general. In light of recent media
events, this comes as no surprise.
The full moon in 23 degrees of Aries falls in
Hillary Clinton’s 11th house, the Uranian ruled house and forms
challenging aspects to her nodes. It
semi-sextiles her north node in 23 degrees of Taurus and inconjuncts her south
node in 23 degrees of Scorpio. She may
very well find herself having to make some kind of adjustments in her
campaign. Both candidates are facing
some challenging aspects from this full moon and Uranus is definitely a key
player in it. The effects of the full
moon will probably spill into the debate on October 19th when Mars
catches up with Pluto in Capricorn.
The theme of something has to give, especially
in relationships or finances, is further reinforced by the full moon forming an
inconjunct to Venus in Scorpio. The
inconjunct can be a distracting influence that requires some form of adjustment
in order to resolve the conflict it generates.
This past week has been chock full of inconjuncts, starting on October
12th with Venus in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus in Aries. There is no escape from the Uranus in Aries
influence, so hang on for the wild ride!
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.

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
