It’s official,
folks -- 2018 is here and it definitely
came in with a bang. We had a super full
moon in Cancer on January 1, 2018 aspecting Saturn, Venus and Neptune,
inspiring me to tweet:
Moon enters its home sign of Cancer today for a super #FullMoon that is extremely emotional and places strong emphasis on relationships due to opposition to Saturn & Venus in ♑️. Are needs being met? #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 1, 2018
On the
following day, Uranus stationed direct in 24 degrees of Aries. But on January 6, 2018, we have another major
aspect occurring. Mars in Scorpio will
conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio in 17 degrees of Scorpio. I know that it dates me,
but I can’t help but think of the lyrics in that old song from the musical Hair
in the 1960’s:
“When the moon is in the 7th
house and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love
will steer the stars.”
I know that
everyone is trying to be optimistic about 2018 and hoping for peace, especially
when the United States has a president who seems to be bringing us closer to
war with every tweet. So I am making a conscious
decision to have more faith in 2018. It
doesn’t hurt that this aspect conjuncts my Scorpio sun in the 2nd
house beneficially affecting my values and hopefully my finances.
Jupiter
conjunct Mars in Scorpio fosters energy, initiative, courage, and increased optimism. With this aspect we are much more willing to
take a chance on pursuing our goals. It
will be a great day to make changes. And
since Scorpio is the sign associated with sex, it could be a very sexy time or
more sexual scandals could be revealed.
Jupiter conjunct Mars has enormous potential to set us free with the
truth. Mars is very comfortable and is a
co-ruler, along with Pluto, of Scorpio.
Mercury in 23
degrees of Sagittarius is also forming a trine to newly direct Uranus in 24
degrees of Aries on the same day. This
aspect can certainly help us blast through whatever roadblocks that have been
holding us back and move forward on our path to enlightenment. Uranus craves
change and Mercury is more than willing to give us more insight on how to
implement that change.
On January 8,
2018, Mars in Scorpio is also forming a very favorable sextile to Pluto in 18
degrees of Capricorn. This is an
incredibly empowering aspect. Scorpio’s
ruling planets are working together to support and coax the energy of these two
planets. We literally have a green light
to act on transforming our lives. So
bring on whatever changes you are seeking to make. We also have Venus in 17 degrees of Capricorn
sextiling Jupiter in 18 degrees of Scorpio on January 8, 2018.which is yet
another source of support for making our dreams come true and achieving real
progress if we are willing to make some effort.
It gets even
better on January 9, 2018 when the sun in 18 degrees of Capricorn conjuncts
Venus in 18 degrees of Capricorn and they both conjunct Pluto in 19 degrees of
Capricorn. What a powerhouse
lineup! This aspect can have an intense
and transformative effect on personal and business relationships by urging us
to transform the negative into positive through love.
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

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:
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:
