The games are definitely NOT over. The full
moon in Scorpio packed a punch on May 10th, but we still have plenty of
planetary action to contend with in the coming week. We had a full moon in 20 degrees of Scorpio
on May 10th in addition to the north node moving into Leo. On that day I tweeted:
Today is the powerful intense #fullmoon in Scorpio. Themes of transformation & releasing emotions that no longer serve us. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 10, 2017
A new path emerges today as north node enters Leo. Prepare to be more heart centered, joyful & self-expressive. Time to lead. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 10, 2017
But Neptune in Pisces kicked up the level of
surrealism another notch on May 11th when it was squared by Mars in
Gemini. On that day I tweeted:
Mars in ♊️ squaring Neptune in ♓️ could make us angry about hidden agendas today. But potential exists to bring them to light.#astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 11, 2017
It’s no big secret that we are living in an age
of fake news and a political reality that many Americans find hard to
stomach. Personally, I found it quite
ironic that President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey as the north node
was entering Leo and conjuncting his ascendant.
Many would question if that action was an example of sound
leadership. But the deal with Neptune is
that while in its highest state it can indeed bring spiritual awareness and
redemption, it is also renowned for bringing confusion, deception, Illusion and
idealization. Visualize smoke and
mirrors, fog and a predisposition towards addiction and I think you get the
picture. We are literally in a Neptunian
haze these days. Don’t forget the
accompanying theme of victim/victimizer to get the complete Neptune experience.
Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces is
triggering collective feelings of anger and fear about the hidden agendas that
exist in our world. But I have some hope
that the truth can and will come out.
This Mars/Neptune aspect occurred right after the full moon in Scorpio,
and we all know that Scorpios are great detectives, determined to leave no
stone unturned. And full moons are a
time of revelation. I am a Scorpio, and
while that does make me Plutonic with Pluto as the ruler of Scorpio, I also
relate strongly to being a Neptunian because Neptune is conjunct my Libra
ascendant. I feel everything that is
going on around me; no escape for me!
Just this week I read a very enlightening article about Neptune conjunct
the ascendant natally and by transit. It
was written by astrologer Jamie King and I highly recommend it. You can find it at:
On May 17, 2017 Jupiter in Libra will be
inconjuncting Neptune in Pisces in 14 degrees of their respective signs. Inconjuncts are challenging, uncomfortable
aspects that require adjustment between the two planets to achieve some level
of functioning and peaceful coexistence.
This aspect will further challenge reality (Jupiter) vs. fantasy
(Neptune). Our Jupiterian enthusiasm in
the fairness seeking sign of Libra may be clouded, confused and
disillusioned. Our ideals need to be
adjusted more realistically. Compassion,
as represented by Neptune in Pisces, is a good thing, but be careful not to let
guilt get involved in the mix. We may
find it hard to discern if other people really need our help. Under the auspices of this aspect, it may be
all too easy to overextend ourselves into the area of codependent
behavior. This aspect will serve as a trial
and error exercise that hones our imaginative and humanitarian skills. On a personal level, I know that I will
really need to be mindful because Jupiter is currently in my 12th
house conjunct my ascendant and Neptune is in my 6th house. I need to remember that I can’t rescue the
world, just give whatever healing people allow me to extend.
On May 16, 2017 Mercury re-enters the sign of
Taurus. Mercury was in Taurus in April and stationed retrograde in 4 degrees of
Taurus on April 20, 2017. This is good
news because it means Mercury will be clearing its retrograde shadow when it
reaches 4 degrees of Taurus on May 21st. Mercury will remain in the sign of Taurus
until June 6, 2017.
What can we expect with Mercury in Taurus? After Mercury’s extended stay in freewheeling
Aries, we will be communicating more deliberately and our thinking will be more
grounded and down to earth. Our
preference will be on the tried and true as opposed to the new and
innovative. This will be a marked change
from Mercury in Aries. Simple practical
steps will bring us the best results during this transit. The only potential downside to this transit
is a tendency towards rigidity and stubbornness. But it can also be viewed as a do-over for
any unresolved issues from early April.
If you are curious as to how these astrological
changes are impacting you or 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 next set of eclipses
in 2017. The August eclipses promise to be heavy hitters. And they will occur
in the signs of nodes, 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.
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

As an astrologer, I have decided to include an
interpretation of the north node by sign. Especially with 2017 being a
Universal Year 1, this 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 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 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:
