Mercury, which is FINALLY
DIRECT (drumroll, please) is moving back into the sign of Virgo on
September 9, 2017 and it stays in Virgo until September 29, 2017. And on September 19, 2017, when it hits 11
degrees of Virgo, the degree of Mercury’s retrograde station on August 12th,
we finally clear the Mercury Retrograde shadow.
But I think that many of us are feeling relief already.
Mercury is joining the sun and Mars in Virgo, which entered
Virgo on September 5, 2017, inspiring me to tweet:
Mars moves into Virgo today as energy shifts from acting on having fun to getting back to work. Appropriate September vibe. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 5, 2017
Venus will join them on September 19th, which is
ironically the day Mercury clears its retrograde shadow.
Think back to what was going on in your life in late July
and early August when Mercury was last in Virgo. Anything that was unresolved can now be worked
through as we all have the opportunity for a do-over. Mercury is very comfortable in its home sign
of Virgo (its other home sign is Gemini) and it can feel free to do its thing,
which includes analyzing, problem solving, focusing on the details and being
precise in speech, thought and process. Our minds are sharper and we are able
to communicate with others more effectively. Mercury in Virgo is also very
practical, due in no small part to its earth sign placement. It may not be as
much fun as Mercury in Leo, but at least it is productive. And it’s lacking the drama of Mercury in Leo.
It’s not a bad time to be of service to
others, which is also Virgo’s domain.
Don’t be afraid to speak out or send out an email or even write a letter
about a cause that is dear to your heart.
But with Mercury in Virgo we do need to be mindful of the
tendency to be too critical of others or become too picky. The other potential downfall with Mercury in
Virgo is the tendency to block off our creativity because we are so focused and
precise. The most productive way to channel that Mercury in Virgo energy is to
learn something new by taking a class or reading a book or seeing a movie that
sparks your creativity.
Pluto in Capricorn is finishing up its retrograde stint
that began on April 20, 2017. It will
station direct on September 29, 2017 in 16 degrees of Capricorn, but it is
still pretty busy these days. On
September 8, 2017, Mars in 1 degree of Virgo forms a challenging aspect called
a semi-square with Pluto in 16 degrees of Capricorn. Most of us are very familiar with the blocked
energy associated with a square aspect, which occurs when two planets are 90
degrees apart. Well, a semi-square is
exactly what it sounds like: two planets 45 degrees apart. It also represents deeply blocked energy, but
while the square aspect tends to occur on an internal level, a semi-square can
manifest as external events. When Mars
and Pluto collide in this kind of aspect, some ugly confrontations are
possible.
Mark your calendars for September 9, 2017 because Pluto is
the recipient of two other major aspects.
Venus in 16 degrees of Leo forms a challenging, irritating, annoying
inconjunct with Pluto in 16 degrees of Capricorn. The theme with this aspect is that
adjustments are necessary on both sides, especially if there is a great deal of
mistrust in order to reach common goals.
Sounds a lot like the current American political climate, n’est
pas? But the most optimistic aspect that
occurs on September 9th occurs when the sun in 16 degrees of Virgo
trines Pluto in 16 degrees of Capricorn.
This is a very supportive aspect that can strengthen our sense of
purpose and help us accomplish our goals.
So work it for all its worth.
Saturn in Sagittarius gets busy on September 12th
and 13th. On September 12th
Venus in 20 degrees of Leo trines Saturn in 21 degrees of Sagittarius and this
is a very favorable aspect for making a dramatic commitment. On September 13th, the sun in 20
degrees of Virgo squares off with Saturn in 21 degrees of Sagittarius and this
is one is not so much fun. It can feel
frustrating and present obstacles but it does help ground us. And at least Saturn is direct these days, so
its challenging aspects move on more quickly.

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:
