The planetary ambience is taking on a whole new
dimension these days as the element of earth joins the fire and water
party. We still have the sun, Mercury,
Chiron and Neptune in Pisces, but the sun and Mercury will be leaving Pisces
soon. Saturn is still in Sagittarius and Uranus remains in Aries, but Mars has
officially left the sign of Aries. It
entered the earth sign of Taurus on March 9th, inspiring me to
tweet:
Mars enters Taurus today where it is definitely not comfortable. Mars is slow to act in ♉️& is a source of frustration & anger. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 9, 2017
Mars is not comfortable in Taurus because the
slow, plodding, stubborn traits that describe Taurus are not a good fit for the
action oriented planet of Mars. Mars is
much more comfortable in Aries and Scorpio, but perhaps on some level we should
be grateful that Mars has left the impetuous, impulsive sign of Aries because
it certainly stirred up a great deal of restless cardinal energy since it
entered Aries on January 28th.
Mars in Taurus is much more cautious and measured. It is literally in the game for the long haul
but its slow and steady approach can still generate much anger and frustration
nonetheless because it values the end result more than the process. But what else can you expect from Taurus, which
is ruled by Venus? This also means that
while Mars is transiting the sign of Taurus until April 20, 2017 that we may
find ourselves more attracted to material goods and the finer things in
life.
On March 12, 2017 we have an extremely intense full
moon in 22 degrees of Virgo. This
particular full moon involves two signs, the sun in Pisces and moon in Virgo, hat
contain themes of service to others. Our
dreams and sense of spirituality (Pisces) are colliding with the practicality
of the Virgo moon. If we are to make optimal use of this full moon energy, we
need to work that Pisces sun to reflect on our dreams while paying attention to
the details that Virgo is so renowned for.
A major theme of this full moon in Virgo is to achieve a sense of
balance and get it right so that we can indeed manifest our dreams.
Ironically, Mars in Taurus will be helping us
during this full moon because it will be trining the north node in Virgo and
sextiling the south node in Pisces. It
is a stabilizing force with that Virgo moon and its easy, flowing aspects to
the nodes of the moon supports us on our spiritual path to move forward and
release what is no longer serving us. It is a boost of energy that kicks that
karmic baggage to the curb.
There is more earth energy involved in this
Virgo full moon. It also forms a
beautiful trine aspect to Pluto in Capricorn.
The trine to Pluto in Capricorn facilitates deep transformation by
granting us access to deep reserves of power and strength that we may not have
known we possessed.
We also have some cardinal energy adding to the
mix during the full moon. The ongoing
opposition between Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries increases our desire
for excitement and personal freedom. So
this will not be a dull full moon!
The Pisces planets also feature prominently in
this full moon. Besides the sun, Chiron
and Mercury in Pisces get in on the act.
Chiron in 24 degrees of Pisces conjuncts the sun and opposes the moon in
Virgo, reminding us not to let our emotions and old wounds get the best of
us. But Mercury in Pisces squaring off
with Saturn in Sagittarius is also a key player in this full moon. This aspect will definitely pose major
challenges to communications and provide a big time reality check. It can be a somewhat frustrating time,
especially if we feel like we are running into brick walls, but the key to
surviving and prospering as a result of this aspect is to give up our resistance. Don’t ever forget that Pisces is all about
surrender. We may not be able to control what is happening in the world these
days, but we can adopt a policy of surrendering to it and trusting that we do
have a choice and free will in terms of how we respond to certain
situations. Do we act out of fear and
anxiety or do we respond with the courage to move forward?
This full moon in Virgo is falling in my 12th
house and I am certainly hoping that I can have the courage to embrace the high
spiritual road. The moon will be
sextiling my sun and retrograde Venus in Scorpio while the Pisces sun trines
them. But Mercury and Chiron in Pisces are
also trining not only my sun and Venus in Scorpio, but also my Cancer midheaven
and retrograde Uranus in Cancer. A highly emotional grand water trine. It is still up for grabs as to how this will
play out for me. I have been known to
have meltdowns on previous Virgo full moons, so I am trying to be mindful of
the potential havoc it can wreak. The 12th
house can be an astrological wild card, so to speak.
The full moon in 22 degrees of Virgo will be
forming an exact T- square to President Donald Trump’s sun in 22 degrees of
Gemini. With both the moon and sun
squaring his natal sun, this could manifest in even more outrageous behavior
and adopting the victim/martyr role on an even more elevated level. The blame game could rise to unprecedented
heights this coming weekend.
Mercury leaves the sign of Pisces and enters
Aries on March 13, 2017. The gloves will
be off and communication takes on a more urgent, immediate gratification
vibe. No more sugar coating like with
Mercury in Pisces. Communication will be
swift and direct. And the next Mercury
retrograde will feature Mercury in Aries for a portion of its duration. Mercury will enter Taurus on April 1st,
but will station retrograde in 4 degrees of Taurus on April 9th and
re-enter Aries on April 29th during the Mercury retrograde
transit. Mercury will station direct in
24 degrees of Aries on May 3, 3017 and re-enter Taurus on May 16, 2017
If you are wondering how this full moon or the
Venus Retrograde transit will be affecting you, please consider getting an
astrological reading with me. I am
currently offering a Venus Retrograde special for only $25. Just email me at lindasim54@gmail.com and request the Venus Retrograde special.
Don’t forget to turn the clocks ahead this
weekend as Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 12, 2017!
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 2017. We
recently experienced the February eclipses, but the August eclipses promise to
be heavy hitters. 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 more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on
my site:
I have recently joined the
International Center for Reiki Training Membership Association.
Please feel free to learn more

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.
I also began seeing clients on Sunday afternoons in Coolidge
Corner, Brookline for Reiki treatments on February 5, 2017. I actually signed the paperwork on the office
sublet on January 27th, the day of the new moon in Aquarius, and
when I opened for business on February 5th, Venus was in Aries in my
6th house. Talk about working
that entrepreneurial spirit! You can learn more about my expanded practice,
including the hours and address at:
I have also launched an 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:
