The year 2018
starts off on a highly charged emotional note with a super full moon in 11
degrees of Cancer on January 1, 2018.
This is the first of two full moons in January, the second one (aka a
blue moon) ushering in the first eclipse of 2018 in the form of a lunar eclipse
in 11 degrees of Leo.
The full moon
on January 1, 2018 is a big deal for a multitude of reasons. First of all, the moon will be in its home
sign of Cancer, so expect it to be highly emotional. It’s also a super full moon because it is so
close to the earth and will be strikingly visible. Super full moons have a much stronger pull on
our psyche and a full moon in Cancer is incredibly emotional. This full moon is also involved in a grand
water trine with Neptune in 11 degrees of Pisces and Mars in 14 degrees of
Scorpio. It will be a profoundly
sensitive, psychic and creative time. And
with Jupiter in Scorpio, I wouldn’t be surprised if more deep secrets regarding
sex and abuses of power are revealed.
We also have
the sun, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn adding to the heady mix of this full
moon. Naturally the sun would be in
Capricorn during a Cancer full moon, but having two heavy hitters like Saturn
and Pluto (who are headed for their own rendezvous courtesy of a conjunction in
22 degrees of Capricorn on January 2020) increases the emphasis on emotional
and practical security. Issues of social
control are bound to come up and we may be hearing more news about resistance
to governmental control. The north node
in 15 degrees of Leo will also be conjunct Ceres in 17 degrees of Leo during
this full moon, triggering a sense of courage and bravery to protect the earth
at this time. And with the extremes of
weather we have been facing recently, this can’t come soon enough.
Full moons can
also be a time of closure and endings.
On a personal level, it is conjunct my south node in Cancer in my 9th
house. I guess it will definitely be
time for me to release some old karmic baggage and emotional dependency
issues. This is a pretty loaded transit.
But releasing outworn behavior patterns is a good thing and a fine way to ring
in the new year of 2018.
On January 2,
2018, Uranus in 24 degrees of Aries will station direct after being retrograde
since August 3, 2017. Uranus stationed
retrograde in 28 degrees of Aries in August just prior to the August eclipse
season. All of that internal rebellion
that has been simmering since then is ready to explode so that the rebellion
can be more externalized. The inner
rebel is about to go very public and gets a gigantic cosmic boost with all of
the planets being direct.
Mars in Scorpio
will also be squaring the nodes of the moon in 15 degrees of Leo and Aquarius
on January 2, 2018, which could definitely trigger some issues from that first
lunar eclipse in 15 degrees of Aquarius on August 7, 2017. Hopefully it can
manifest in some cooperative work efforts to start off 2018 in a more constructive
fashion.
If you are
curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including eclipses, Saturn in
Capricorn and Jupiter in Scorpio will be affecting you in 2018, 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.
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 an
astrological or tarot reading as a special gift for your loved ones. I am also offering
four options for package deals: Silver, Gold, Platinum and a Tarot special for
my tarot clients. Please check it out at:

Happy
New Year to everyone and may the recent trine of Mars in Scorpio to Neptune in
Pisces be the ticket for you to make your dreams come true in 2018.

Make the most of this delightful energy and act on making dreams come true. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 28, 2017
