Mark your calendars, everyone, because January
27, 2017 is going to be a very big day astrologically. The moon enters the sign of Aquarius in the
wee hours of the morning and conjuncts the sun in 8 degrees of Aquarius at 7:07
p.m. for a powerful New Moon. It is
also the day that Mercury in 14 degrees of Capricorn exits its retrograde
shadow.
The themes of a new moon in Aquarius include
finding your truth and uniqueness with a dose of altruism to help the
collective. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus
(that is where the uniqueness bit comes in) and it also all about the
collective. This new moon has a very utopian theme as well in terms of
searching for truth in the world and connecting with people of like-minded
values. The Aquarian energy delivers an
infusion of independent views and new perspectives while simultaneously seeking
to break free of the old ways and find liberating change. It also holds the potential for inspiring a
spiritual shift. The new moon in Aquarius is a pretty heady mix that is bound
to inspire us to take action in whatever area of life it falls in your chart. If you are wondering where this new moon is
hitting your chart, please consider getting an astrological reading with me.
This new moon in Aquarius falls in my 4th
house of home, family and beginnings and endings in life and conjuncts my Mars
in Aquarius. I have been making a
conscious effort to expand my home based business and find another office to
practice Reiki in because not everyone can make it into Boston on Friday nights
and my home is not centrally located for folks who use public transportation. I have secured a sublet in a professional building
in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline, Massachusetts for Sunday
afternoons and will be signing the paperwork on January 27th. I’ll keep you posted as to when I will start practicing
in Brookline.
Even though this new moon is in Aquarius,
Pisces is still a prevailing factor in this new moon. We still have Mars and Venus in their last
days of Pisces, and Neptune and Chiron are firmly entrenched in Pisces as
well. Chiron is at 22 degrees of Pisces,
and in many ways this marks the end of an era.
The last time Chiron was in this decanate of Pisces was 1966, and it was
a year of massive world changes. The Pisces gang lends notes of sensitivity and
creativity to this new moon, making it a highly emotional time. Pisces energy also ensures that protecting
the earth will become very important in 2017, which is already starting off to
be a year of significant change in the world. Chiron and Venus are definitely
heavy hitters in this new moon and set the stage for it earlier in the week.
Chiron and Venus formed a conjunction in 21
degrees of Pisces on January 25, 2017, inspiring me to tweet:
Emotions and finances can be wounding today as Venus conjuncts Chiron in Pisces. Feelings may be raw and sensitive. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 25, 2017
But the dominant factor in the new moon on
January 27, 2017 is Venus in Pisces squaring Saturn in Sagittarius in 24 degrees
of the respective signs. Venus and
Saturn squaring off with each other is bound to make us aware of our
limitations as we strive for some kind of breakthrough yet feel stymied as we
get close but still feel like we can’t quite touch it. Love and finances will feel the pinch on this
day and there may also be some ethical issues emerging. Patience will be required to get us through
this potentially rough patch. I hope this isn’t too depressing, but I just
wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Mars will be in 29 degrees of Pisces on the new
moon. I know that I have mentioned it
before, but it bears repeating: when a planet is in 29 degrees of a sign, it is
frequently referred to as the critical or anaretic degree because it embodies
the essence of a sign. Mars in Pisces
represents sensitivity and vulnerability.
On January 28, 2017, Mars will enter its home sign of Aries, kicking off
a period of new starts and taking action.
But Mars in Aries is also very impulsive, restless and craves action. It is very different from Mars in Pisces. Mars in Aries lacks patience and lacks
self-control as well. And Venus will enter Aries on February 3, 2017. It too will be quite a game changer. While Mars is right at home in Aries, Venus
is going from its sign of exaltation in Pisces to one of its signs of detriment
(the other one is Scorpio) in Aries. The
impulsiveness of Venus in Aries is not always a good thing.
On January 28, 2017 the Chinese Lunar New Year
of the Rooster arrives. It is a Fire
Rooster Year, and we haven’t had one since 1957. The last year of the Rooster
was in 2005 and was a Wood Rooster. The
bottom line is that the Rooster represents diligence and hard work. Fire Roosters in particular are reputed to be
trustworthy, punctual and responsible. That is something we can all embrace in
the coming year. Happy Lunar New Year!
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 New
Year, especially a Universal Year 1, is a marvelous time to navigate a new
direction in your life that will fulfill you and your soul’s purpose. 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 a basic astrological reading that will offer insight into your
astrological DNA and the major themes in your life and delving into any
pressing issues, 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. If you purchase a three or six month
transit reading, I will .even take a peek at the eclipses of February 2017. They
are almost here! 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

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.

I have recently joined the
International Center for Reiki Training Membership Association.

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. Soon I
will be seeing clients in Brookline, Massachusetts on Sunday afternoons as
well. More to come…
I have also launched a new endeavor that will deliver my services
to you at an affordable cost in the form of package deals. I am offering four options: Silver, Gold, Platinum
and a Tarot special for my tarot clients. Please check it out at:
