Hang on folks, because the intensity of the past week shows
no signs of abating. A week ago the moon
was in Scorpio and when it moved into Sagittarius on September 25th,
I mistakenly believed the emotional tone would lighten up, but I was sadly
mistaken. On September 26, 2017, I
tweeted:
Sag moon conjunct Saturn today continues the themes of depression & restrictive influences. This hasn’t been the easiest time. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 26, 2017
I quickly realized that I had hit a collective nerve with
that tweet. It may have been a Sagittarius moon but it was far from jolly and
spontaneous. Chalk that up to it
squaring Mars in Virgo and conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius.
On September 28, 2017, we had two more major astrological
events, Pluto stationing direct in 16 degrees of Capricorn and the third and
final Jupiter in Libra/Uranus in Aries opposition in 27 degrees of their respective
signs. On that day I tweeted:
#Pluto stations direct today. Transformation starts to accelerate as more issues come to light. Major changes ahead. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 28, 2017
Jupiter in ♎️ opposes Uranus in ♈️ today for 3rd time as we get chance to follow our authentic path. Surprises & miracles. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 28, 2017
But the fun is starting today when Mercury moves into the
Venus ruled sign of Libra at 8:42 pm and it stays in Libra until October 17,
2017. Mercury in Libra is all about
charm and diplomacy accompanied by bouts of indecisiveness. We are all familiar
with the stereotype of Libra saying “What do you think?” I have a Libra ascendant, and I
confess that that I am prone to asking 10 people what they think before I make
a major decision. The tone of
communications is about to change drastically.
We can find it possible to be more rational (don’t forget that Libra
scales of justice symbol), but we want to please people and compromise may be
much easier in relationships than it has been in recent weeks. And Mercury in Libra will feature prominently
in the upcoming full moon in Aries on October 5, 2017.
But we also have a pretty major aspect occurring on October
1, 2017. Mars in 16 degrees of Virgo
will be forming an exact trine to newly direct Pluto in 16 degrees of Capricorn. This is a good thing to be sure. These two heavy hitters, the co-rulers of the
sign Scorpio, are playing nice together.
The beauty of this aspect is that you can be assertive and direct while
still maintaining harmony. Mars and
Pluto working together can provide a surge of directed energy to achieve
ambitions. It is a win-win situation, so
strike while the iron is hot on this day.
And next week the big news is the full moon in 12 degrees
of Aries on October 5, 2017. This will
be a very powerful full moon, due in no small part to the preponderance of
planets in cardinal signs. Obviously,
the sun and moon are in cardinal signs (Libra and Aries), but we also have
Mercury in Libra, Jupiter in Libra, Uranus in Aries and Pluto in
Capricorn. Cardinal signs are all about
action, setting intention and getting moving things moving. They are the movers and shakers of the
zodiac.
Both the sun and moon will be squaring Pluto in 16 degrees
of Capricorn, so this full moon will carry a strong relationship theme. It will challenge how you handle power—do you
give your power away or do you control others?
Compromise is another theme of this full moon as it literally symbolizes
the Aries moon (me) vs. the Libra sun (we) dichotomy. The fact that Venus and
Mars are conjunct in 19 degrees of Virgo and trining Pluto in 16 degrees of
Capricorn on the day of the full moon adds to the relationship mix. Venus and Mars in Virgo are also squaring
Saturn in 22 degrees of Sagittarius, which adds more stress to the situation
due to negative feelings surfacing. And
Saturn’s presence in this full moon will ensure that we don’t neglect our
responsibilities in relationships.
Full moons are also about revealing secrets and with Pluto
in Capricorn being aspected so heavily I wouldn’t be surprised if some
government secrets were let out of the political bag so to speak. A full moon squaring Pluto can bring out
compulsive and destructive behavior that leads to power struggles.
The plot really thickens with Mercury in Libra during this
full moon. Mercury will be in 9 degrees
of Libra conjunct the sun in 12 degrees of Libra. Naturally this means that the full moon in
Aries is opposing Mercury in Libra and this can result in arguments or misunderstandings
(let’s just be grateful that Mercury is direct) as we seek to communicate our
feelings.
I don’t know about any of you, but I have been immensely
enjoying the last days of Jupiter transiting Libra and the Jupiter/Uranus
opposition. Of course, I have a natal
Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Cancer, so I am attuned to its energy. Jupiter enters Scorpio on October 10,
2017. More on that next week. For the past week, transiting Jupiter has
been conjunct my natal Neptune in Libra in my first house and I have been
experiencing an incredibly expansive spiritual time. My dreams have been intense and vivid,
conjuring up people from my past. I am
hoping that this is for the purpose of healing on a deeper level. It is also fueling my work as a healer and
empowering me with more compassion for others.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary aspects
are affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. The Services Offered page of my site describes
the menu of services that I offer. There is something for everyone.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide

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. 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:
Additionally, I 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:
