Venus is joining the posse of planets in Virgo which
includes the sun, Mars, and Mercury on September 19th. As an added bonus, Mercury is finally out of
its retrograde shadow on that day as well.
But before Venus enters Virgo, Venus in Leo conjuncts the
north node in Leo on September 15, 2017.
This is a truly delightful aspect for creative purposes and working on
improving relationships. A north node in
Leo is helping all of us get more in touch with our creativity and ability to
love, so this is a very sweet combination as it guides us on our collective
destiny.
I sense also that many of us are still reeling from the
effects of last week’s full moon in Pisces and the recent hurricane Irma in
Florida. Somehow I believe that the
combination of the August eclipses and that full moon in Pisces, the sign ruled
by Neptune, are partially responsible for all of this water damage. But Pisces also rules compassion and healing,
and that energy is particularly potent these days with both Chiron and Neptune
in Pisces. The moon moved into its home
sign of Cancer on September 13th and coming on the heels of
Hurricane Irma and the anniversary of 9/11, I have certainly felt that intensely
emotional water energy. On September 14th,
I tweeted:
We have the capacity for compassion, emotional sensitivity & ability to nurture others today with ♋️moon trining Neptune in ♓️. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 14, 2017
Have felt moved to tears past couple of days and reflecting on past a lot. https://t.co/S41Jliy0a0— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 14, 2017
.As an empath and healer, I have been inundated with the depth
of emotions that I am experiencing in response to recent events in the
world. As a healer, I just want to make
things better. It is truly encouraging
to see that others are feeling this compassionate vibe. On September 14th I also retweeted
a tweet that represented the good stories coming as a result of Irma:
Good to hear about the compassion that is spreading as a result of #Irma. https://t.co/P1gQl2HqQz— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 14, 2017
Initially, I believed that my nostalgia and reflective mood
were due to the sun transiting my 12th house, but I think that the
recent full moon in Pisces on September 6th is an even bigger player
and contributing factor in this drama.
Venus in Virgo will be vastly different from Venus in
Leo. Venus in Leo was all about fun,
romance, flirting and generosity to the point of extravagance. Venus in Virgo is considered to be in its
sign of fall because it is exalted in Pisces, but Venus in Virgo has its
merits. Venus in Virgo is in an earth
sign, so love will be expressed through practical means and gestures: handling
detailed work, doing errands and just plain being there. It is not flashy or dramatic. Virgo has a strong theme of service to others
and rendering service to others is one of the ways Venus in Virgo expresses love. The only downside with Venus in Virgo that we
need to be mindful of is a tendency to be too critical of or picky with our
partners. Venus will leave Virgo on
October 14, 2017 and enter Libra then. Venus
rules Libra and Taurus, so it will be a lot more comfortable and social
there. But this year in particular, let’s
use the Venus in Virgo energy to render service to others.
The new moon in 27 degrees of Virgo occurs at 1:30 a. m. on
the east coast of the United States. New moons are a time of new beginnings and
setting new intentions. This new moon
falls in my 12th house, but wherever 27 degrees of Virgo falls in
your chart is the area of life where you will want to set new intentions. This new moon has a lot of positive aspects
surrounding it. We are still in the
throes of a Grand Fire Trine involving the north node in 23 degrees of Leo,
Saturn in 21 degrees of Sagittarius and Uranus in 27 degrees of Aries. Grand trines represent the most positive
qualities of the element involved and a grand trine in fire is forward looking,
inspiring and creative.
There is also a great deal of mutable energy involved in
this new moon. We have the posse of
planets in Virgo, but we also have Neptune and Chiron in Pisces, which are also
activated during this new moon. Mutable
signs are renowned for their flexibility and adaptability, their literal ability
to go with the flow. Neptune in Pisces
will be opposing Mercury in Virgo during this new moon, which will fuel our
creativity and imagination. The new moon in 27 degrees of Virgo will also be in
direct opposition to Chiron in 27 degrees of Pisces, which can help heal old
wounds. The trick with the opposition to
Chiron is to surrender and accept those wounds.
If we do this, we are actually withdrawing the energy required for
maintaining them in our lives and not feeding them. Both personally and professionally the theme
of surrender has emerged for me this past week. My clients are feeling it and
so am I. Sometimes we just need to
surrender the need to control the outcome and let go of the past as much as
possible. The third mutable sign of
Sagittarius features prominently too because Saturn in 21 degrees of
Sagittarius forms a T-square with the moon and Chiron. A new moon in Virgo is also a good time for establishing
a new health regime, especially if it falls in your 6th house. Don’t
be afraid to try natural remedies for healing or complementary methods of
healing, like acupuncture or Reiki.

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:
