Life is about
to get a lot more interesting and passionate as Mars prepares to leave the sign
of Libra, where it is distinctly uncomfortable, and enter its home signs of
Scorpio. Mars is right at home in Aries
and Scorpio, the two signs that it rules. But before Mars leaves Libra on
December 9, 2017, it managed to knock a home run out of the park when Mars in
28 degrees of Libra sextiled both Mercury and Saturn in Sagittarius, inspiring
me to tweet:
Mars represents our desire nature and when it is in the sign of Scorpio (until January 26, 2018) our desires can be channeled through that renowned Scorpio willpower and focused intention. Mars is very strong in the sign of Scorpio but it also has a tendency to move in secret and in the shadows. Mars in Scorpio will help us develop a laser sharp focus with our intentions. Not only are our desires stronger when Mars is in Scorpio, our determination to get what we want is even stronger.Mars in ♎️ sextiling both Mercury and Saturn in ♐️ today gives us courage to state our truth with authority regarding relationships and justice. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 6, 2017
Sexuality will
be heightened and for those of us with a heavy emphasis on Scorpio or the 8th
house in our charts (mea culpa), we may find ourselves becoming downright
obsessive in our relationships. Feelings
of aggression, anger and fear of losing control that remained dormant during
the transit of Mars in Libra may surface.
We may also find ourselves attracted to crisis, as it is emotionally
exciting and can be ultimately transformative, Scorpio is all about
transformation and it is an extremist sign, finding it difficult to maintain a
middle ground. Scorpio is an all or
nothing sign, no doubt about it.
But Mars in
Scorpio does give us the courage to confront our inner and outer demons. The downside of Mars in Scorpio is that it
has an excellent memory and forgiveness does not come easily with this
astrological influence. Mars in Scorpio
does not suffer fools gladly.
Obviously, Mars
in Scorpio is going to be hitting my chart pretty heavily, with my Mercury,
Saturn, Sun, Ceres, Black Moon Lilith and Venus in Scorpio. I will probably be a force to be reckoned
with on December 9th when its conjuncts my Mercury, but my main concern
is how I will fare when it conjuncts my Saturn from December 28, 2017 through
the end of 2017. I am well aware of the
potential pitfalls of this transit. It could ignite my darkest desires or
provide me with the stamina and patience to complete difficult tasks. It is common knowledge that feelings of anger
or resentment could be roaring out of the starting gate with this transit, but
I hope that I will have the presence of mind to channel and transmute these
feelings productively into positive achievements instead of getting mired in
the destructive Scorpionic cycle of revenge.
But Mars in
Scorpio will be making a marvelously beneficial conjunction to Jupiter in 17
degrees of Scorpio on January 6, 2018. Mars will get a real lift from hooking
up with Jupiter in Scorpio and Jupiter will have more depth with the winning
combination of desires (Mars) and faith (Jupiter). I am sure everyone has noticed how many
sexual secrets have been coming out since Jupiter entered the highly charged
sex sign of Scorpio. Mars joining
Jupiter will amplify the emphasis on private matters that were unethical, abusive,
illegal and unacceptable.
Mars conjunct
Jupiter in Scorpio will be an opportune time to start anything that requires
initiative, energy and courage. Physical
energy is augmented as is self-confidence. There is also strong potential for
new relationships to occur because many will feel the need to literally get
physical. This aspect is two degrees away from my sun and I am looking forward
to this conjunction.
I would be
remiss if I didn’t warn you about one thorny aspect that occurs on December 10,
2017. Venus in 11 degrees of Sagittarius
forms a challenging square with Neptune in 11 degrees of Pisces. This can be pretty tough on love and finances
because Neptune is notorious for bringing an unrealistic perspective. But it does have an upside because it fuels
imagination and bouts of heightened creativity.
If you are
curious as to how Mars in Scorpio, Mercury retrograde and the season of
Sagittarius will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological
reading. A transit reading might be just
what you need right now to make the most of Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter transits are all about taking
advantage of opportunities and if you snooze you lose with Jupiter. You have to be aware and strike while the
iron is hot. 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 a donation in the amount of your choice to
demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter

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 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:
With
the holiday season in full swing, you might want to consider purchasing a
package deal as a special gift for your loved ones. I am offering four options:
Silver, Gold, Platinum and a Tarot special for my tarot clients. Please check
