The first of two new moons in Leo this year
occurs on July 23, 2017 in 0 degrees of Leo.
That’s right – I said two new moons in Leo. The second one is the much ballyhooed solar eclipse
(aka new moon on steroids) on August 21, 2017 in 28 degrees of Leo.
This new moon promises to be very potent
because it involves so many planets in Leo and fire signs. Mars entered Leo on July 20th, the
sun enters Leo on July 22nd and Mercury, as well as the north node
are also in Leo. Saturn remains in
Sagittarius and Uranus and Eris are in Aries.
Saturn, Mercury and Uranus are forming a grand fire trine. The themes of a Leo new moon include heart-centered
energy, creativity, romance and playfulness.
Everyone knows that a new moon is a perfect time to set new intentions
and with the sun and moon conjunct Mars in Leo to boot, it’s a perfect time to
channel all of that energy and initiative in a constructive way to set some new
intentions for a fresh start in whatever area of life this new moon falls
in. For me, it is in my 10th house
of career.
Mars in Leo is a key player in this new moon because
we are still under the influence of the recent Mars/Uranus square which
occurred on July 17, 2017 and inspired me to tweet:
Today could be accident prone or downright disruptive emotionally as Mars in ♋️ squares Uranus in ♈️. Restless vibe. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 17, 2017
The results of the recent Mars/Uranus square include
impatience, a tendency towards being accident prone, an urge to break free from
restrictive influences and rebel against authority. The sun, moon and Mars are squaring Uranus on
this Leo new moon, which will encourage us to be bold, courageous, take risks
and step out of our comfort zone. The
north node of the moon in Leo amplifies the theme of stepping out of our
comfort zone because that is what the north node likes to do. Mars in Leo can also make us prone to temper
tantrums, as we can literally roar like a lion if we’re not happy. But Mars in Leo is very direct and assertive,
so I think that many of us are grateful to bid adieu to the somewhat passive
aggressive energy of Mars in Cancer.
All of these planets in fire are ramping up the
intensity of this restless vibe. This is
a very complicated new moon, but it does have some very positive influences
going for it. The sun, moon and Mars are
forming a trine to Chiron in 28 degrees of Pisces and this offers tremendous
potential for emotional healing. Jupiter
in Libra is squaring off with Pluto in Capricorn during the new moon, which
will undoubtedly trigger issues of fairness in the areas of finances and
government. I wouldn’t rule out hearing some angry words expressed towards
foreign countries.
But we are still dealing with some powerful
water energy. Chiron and Neptune are
retrograde in Pisces, which can generate healing and compassion, but can also
thrust us into the victim role if we are not mindful. Don’t let yourself be a
victim of anyone else’s strong actions.
The energy is so strong with this new moon that some of us may find
ourselves on the receiving end of another’s impulsive actions. We don’t have to
fall into victim autopilot mode; step back, breathe and set your own new
intentions.
The bottom line is that change is coming,
especially with those two eclipses in August.
Don’t fight the need for change and this ride will be a whole lot easier
and more enjoyable for all of us. In the meantime, enjoy the passion of all
this Leo energy!
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 by 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 August 2017
eclipses. The August eclipses promise to be heavy hitters because they will
occur in the signs of nodes, Leo and Aquarius.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide

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 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. I am also offering Reiki treatments in the Coolidge
Corner section of Brookline on Sunday afternoons.
But the big news is that I have created and launched a new
website devoted exclusively to my Reiki practice. Please feel free to check it
out at:
I was also featured in the July 3rd edition of
Boston Voyager, an online publication that runs a section called Inspiring
Stories about local entrepreneurs on its home page. The Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun
and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so my story certainly debuted under fitting
aspects. Please feel free to check it
out:
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:
The August eclipses are coming and I am offering an Eclipse
Special reading to give you a personalized interpretation of how both the lunar
and solar eclipse will affect you. You
