The season of
Capricorn is in full bloom these days.
On January 9, 2018 the powerhouse combo of the Sun, Venus and Pluto in
Capricorn inspired me to tweet:
The energy today is absolutely oozing with potential for transformation in both personal & business relationships due to conjunctions of Sun, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn. Work it! #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 9, 2018
After an
extended stay in the sign of Sagittarius (courtesy of Mercury retrograde),
Mercury entered the sign of Capricorn on January 11th, inspiring me
to tweet:
Mercury enters into practical earth sign of Capricorn today as communication becomes more serious and focused through the rest of January. A very fast Mercury transit. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 11, 2018
Mercury will
literally be zipping through the sign of Capricorn and will enter the sign of
Aquarius on January 31, 2018, the same day as the lunar eclipse in Leo which
kicks off eclipse season for 2018. What
can we expect when Mercury is transiting the sign of Capricorn? Well, communications will become more
serious, thinking is more practical and logical and our focus takes on a more
sober approach. Logic, order and
organization will be the new reality.
Indeed, realism will be a strong theme during this brief transit. If you
have set any New Year’s Resolutions, this is a perfect time to work on them
because the energy of Mercury in Capricorn is very conducive to setting goals.
And we have the added bonus of all the planets being in direct motion, so there
is a super cosmic green light for moving forward. Full steam ahead!
On January 16,
2018, we have the first new moon of 2018 in 27 degrees of Capricorn. There are six planets in Capricorn on this
date: the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus,
Saturn and Pluto. Capricorn is a
cardinal sign and is very action oriented and new moons are all about setting
new intentions. Motivation is a key
factor in this new moon. Capricorn is
the sign that pertains to governments, corporations, law and order and
power. This is a heady mix.
The most
challenging piece of this new moon is its square to Uranus in 24 degrees of
Aries. Aries is another cardinal sign
and it too loves action and change. The
new moon in Capricorn squaring Uranus in Aries can definitely bring unexpected
change and uncertainty. Uranus wants
freedom, but there is also the potential for spiritual awakening. The key to handling this aspect is to
surrender our need to control the outcome, which I realize is much easier said
than done. Before the new moon is exact, the Capricorn moon also conjuncts
Pluto in 19 degrees of Capricorn, so we could literally be waking up with
feeling a need to control. But there is a plethora of positive aspects that
accompanies this new moon which may help offset any disturbances instigated by
the Uranus square.
The new moon in
27 degrees of Capricorn forms an exact conjunction to Venus in 27 degrees of
Capricorn. This aspect augurs well for
love, finances, beauty and values. This
is a very sweet aspect. Some of us may
even be able to negotiate some profitable business deals under this influence
or smooth out some rough patches in relationships.
Mars in 24
degrees of Scorpio is also forming a conjunction to Jupiter in 19 degrees in
Scorpio and this aspect is providing energy, initiative, courage and
self-confidence. And Mars in Scorpio is
forming a supportive sextile to that new moon in 27 degrees of Capricorn. What an adrenaline boost to pursue our
goals! Jupiter in 19 degrees of Scorpio
is forming yet another supportive sextile to Pluto in 19 degrees of Capricorn. This aspect is indicates that our material
goals need to be fueled by our passions, which should be running quite high
during this new moon energy.
All of the
cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) will be feeling the effects
of this new moon very strongly. So if you have any planets in the late degrees
of a cardinal sign that means you. This
new moon is not just affecting sun signs.
For me personally, it is falling in my 4th house conjunct my
natal Chiron in Capricorn and opposing my Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Cancer
in my 10th house. It is
literally in direct opposition to my retrograde Uranus in Cancer. I am trying not to get too freaked out by how
this will play out, because I fully realize that Uranus is literally the wild
card in this new moon and my natal Uranus is being strongly activated by
it. More will be revealed…
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.

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:
In
the spirit of the New Year, I have revised my package deals and I am now
offering two options for package deals: Silver and a Tarot special for my tarot
clients. Please check it out at:
