A Relationship Oriented Full Moon in Libra

Everyone knows that Libra is the astrological sign most associated with relationships, so be prepared for some major relationship shakeups to occur on the full blue moon in 10 degrees of Libra on March 31, 2018.  This is the second full moon in March (the first occurred on March 1, 2018 in 11 degrees of Virgo) giving it the distinction of a blue moon.

It would be a grave understatement to say that a lot can happen with this full moon in Libra.  A full moon in Libra can make or break relationships and reveal some long hidden secrets.  It can also be a time of release in that if a relationship is not working for you, it may be time to let go.  And since Libra is so disposed to considering the other person, it might be a time to reclaim your power in a relationship and release behavior that is not getting your needs met.  The positive side of Libra is that it involves issues of equality, fairness and justice too.  So it can be a time to set the record straight.

A key piece of this full moon is that there are eight planets in cardinal signs and cardinal signs love action, no question about it.  The Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Eris are in Aries, the moon is in Libra and Saturn, Pluto and Mars are in Capricorn.  Venus moves into Taurus, where it is eminently more comfortable on March 31^st, but Venus in Aries delivered its own share of drama, especially on March 28^th when it conjuncted Uranus in Aries.  On that day I tweeted:

We could be facing some surprises in love and money today as Venus and Uranus conjunct in Aries. #astrology

Mercury in Aries is retrograde and features prominently in this full moon as well.  It is opposing the full moon and so we may experience difficulty in understanding our feelings and communicating them.  It is also forming a square to Mars in 7 degrees of Capricorn, which can lead to short tempers, disagreements, and feelings of hostility.  Additionally, it squares Saturn in 8 degrees of Capricorn, which has a way of creating distance and separation in relationships.

Mars and Saturn are moving to an exact conjunction in 8 degrees of Capricorn on April 2, 2018 so they are very active players with their squares to this full moon in 10 degrees of Libra.  Squares are renowned for creating tension.  Think about where this full moon in Libra is falling in your chart and where the Mars/Saturn conjunction in Capricorn happens.  The full moon will be in my 12^th house widely conjunct my Libra ascendant and the Mars/Saturn conjunction will be conjunct my north node in the third house.  I doubt that it will be a quiet time for me.  I can guarantee anyone with cardinal planets (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) in these degrees will experience major changes.

Mars in Capricorn is more assertive, focused, impulsive and impetuous during this full moon.  Its square to the sun in Aries and moon in Libra will contain a theme of what about my needs. The Libra full moon squaring Mars in Capricorn will allow anger to come to the surface, especially in relationships with women. The full moon squaring Saturn in Capricorn will remind us of past relationships failures and losses.  It could also trigger emotional coldness, nagging and bullying. Negative thinking, feelings of loneliness, worry and fears are also part of this package.   But it can also be a time to take responsibility (a major Saturn theme) for our actions by releasing those fears and transforming our lives.  Issues of power are bound to come up for review in relationships during this full moon and if we have been too accommodating to others by giving our power away, this is time to transform that inequality and restore the balance to relationships.

When Mars conjuncts Saturn on April 2, 2018, it can trigger our darkest desires and make us feel anger, resentment and a strong desire for revenge.  Mars Saturn aspects are very difficult and challenging because while Mars is all about action, Saturn tends to put the brakes on the action.  And this full moon is rife with a plethora of planets in cardinal signs, which crave action.  I come by this knowledge through a natal Mars Saturn square in my own chart.  All I can tell you about this Mars Saturn conjunction is to be mindful of destructive actions on your part or from others. 

But before I leave everyone in abject terror of this full moon, I do want to share a glimmer of hope with one beautiful, positive aspect occurring on that day.  Jupiter in 22 degrees of Scorpio is forming a supportive sextile with Pluto in 21 degrees of Capricorn.  This aspect holds the promise of success through positive change and potential for spiritual growth.  Use this aspect wisely to transform the more negative aspects of this full moon into positive outcomes.

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.

Mercury Retrograde in Aries

Mercury entered the sign of Aries on March 6, 2018 and isn’t leaving until May 13, 2018 because it stationed retrograde on March 22, 2018, inspiring me to tweet:

#MercuryRetrograde starts tonight in 16 degrees of Aries. Prepare for communication snafus and delays in transportation through April 15th. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 22, 2018

This is a ten week transit of Mercury in Aries and when Mercury is retrograde in a fire sign it can be even more challenging because fire signs are known to be more blunt and impulsive in their communications.  And we have quite a posse of planets in Aries these days: Uranus is winding down its transit in Aries before it enters Taurus on May 15, 2018, Venus has been in Aries since March 6, 2018 and the Sun entered Aries on March 20^th, when I tweeted:

Sun enters Aries today marking the #SpringEquinox. It’s the beginning of the astrological new year and a new growth cycle. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 20, 2018

What can we expect when Mercury is retrograde in Aries?  In addition to the usual cautions about signing contracts or buying a house or electronic goods, Mercury retrograde in Aries carries the added potential for getting into an argument from receiving the wrong information.  Mercury in Aries is fast talking and impulsive and speech tends to lose its filters when Mercury is in Aries because it wants instant gratification. And there is also the danger of making rash decisions that we might later regret.

The Aries energy is particularly volatile during the first weekend of Mercury retrograde.  On March 23, 2018, Venus in 16 degrees of Aries is forming a very challenging square with Pluto in 21 degrees of Capricorn which can definitely wreak havoc on relationships.  Venus in Aries is very me oriented, passionate and wants what it wants NOW.  Pluto in Capricorn is very much into power and this aspect (which I have natally, so I am all too familiar with its pitfalls), so when these two planets in cardinal signs square off, the themes of passion, obsession and power struggles run rampant.  Relationships might very well be put through the ringer under the influence of this aspect.

The volatility ramps up a notch on March 24, 2018 when the sun in Aries forms an exact square with Mars in Capricorn in 3 degrees of their respective signs.  This will certainly stimulate passion but the sun square Mars (another aspect that I have natally) is tense energy that requires constant action or can become easily frustrated.  A creative or physical outlet is key to resolving the fiery willpower and competitive spirit that accompany this aspect. Sun square Mars has a high energy, “me first” vibe about it. The fact that it is occurring with the sun in Aries is exacerbating the volatility of the aspect.  Sun squaring Mars in cardinal signs is frequently accompanied by impulsiveness and short tempers.  So the Mercury in Aries retrograde energy of impulsive energy is being fueled by both Venus in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn and the Sun in Aries squaring Mars in Capricorn.

Despite the fact that the sun is no longer in Pisces, Neptune is still in Pisces and Chiron is concluding its transit of Pisces, set to enter the sign of Aries on April 17, 2018.  Chiron in the last two degrees of Pisces is forcing a lot of people to deal with their existential pain and grief these days and one way of dealing with the retrograde Mercury in Aries is to try to be a little more sensitive and compassionate towards others.  Please try to think before speaking and empathize with the collective pain that seems to be so pervasive these days.

Otherwise, just remember the re in retrograde and use this time period to review, renegotiate and research any matters in your life that require major decisions before implementing any major changes.  That is truly the best way of surviving the transit of Mercury Retrograde.

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.

A Healing New Moon in Pisces and Mars Enters Capricorn

Save the date of March 17, 2018 as a key player in the astrological scene of 2018. Yes, it is St. Patrick’s Day, but it also features a powerfully healing new moon in Pisces and a change of signs for Mars.

The new moon in 26 degrees of Pisces on March 17, 2018 marks the end of the astrological year and holds enormous healing potential.  Pisces is a water sign and this new moon will be very emotional, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.  When the moon entered Pisces on March 15, 2018, I tweeted:

The moon is swimming into Pisces this morning as the emotional vibe becomes more sensitive, inspired, empathetic and dreamy. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 15, 2018

This new moon in Pisces is conjunct Chiron in 28 degrees of Pisces and that in itself is the key to the tremendous healing power of this new moon. The themes of this new moon include acceptance, forgiveness, surrender, release, compassion, humility and letting go of the ego’s need to be right as we plant the seeds for the future. 

Jupiter in 23 degrees of Scorpio is forming a favorable trine to this new moon and Chiron in Pisces This is facilitating that healing energy by providing us the opportunity to dig deep to expose our wounds so that they can heal.

But this new moon is also on the receiving end of an angry square from Mars in 29 degrees of Sagittarius.  How is this going to play out?  We may have to deal with some arguments or fights and conflicts may expose old wounds that need to be healed.  There could be an uncomfortable decision or action that needs to be taken.  Mars in Sagittarius may very well bring back the pain of that Chiron wound but Mars is also trining Uranus in 26 degrees of Aries and that beneficial aspect can deliver some unexpected opportunities and new tools for dealing with those wounds.

But the angry square from Mars to the new moon and Chiron is short-lived because four hours after the new moon Mars enters the sign of its exaltation in Capricorn, where it resides until May 16, 2018.  Mars is exalted in Capricorn because it is disciplined, focused, deliberate and persistent energy that helps us contemplate the future and its consequences before it takes action.  Its energy is reliable and steady, like the goat symbol of Capricorn.

‘When Mars is in Capricorn we will be a lot slower to anger than Mars in Sagittarius, but we may find ourselves becoming very cold or rigid if we are frustrated.  Mars in Capricorn will also be conjunct Saturn in 8 degrees of Capricorn on April 2, 2018, which will be a marvelous opportunity to act on creating some new structures in our lives.  It will actually be conjunct my north node in my 3^rd house on that day, which should prove to be quite interesting.  And on April 26, 2018, Mars will be conjunct Pluto in 21 degrees of Capricorn, which is another harbinger for major change and transformation.  This conjunction occurs in my natal 4^th house and I have certainly felt the effects of Pluto ever since it entered my 4^th house in January 2018.

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.

Fire Energy Rules with Mars in SagittariusTrining Uranus and Mercury and Venus in Aries

The month of March 2018 may be starting out in the sun sign of Pisces, but it certainly has very fire like vibe with all of the planets in Aries and Mars in Sagittarius.  On March 6^th, both Mercury and Venus entered the sign of Aries, inspiring me to tweet:

Communications become more direct and forceful today as Mercury enters Aries. Venus enters Aries too which brings a more impulsive, pushy vibe to love, finances and values. Venus goes from exaltation in Pisces to fall in Aries. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 6, 2018

Mercury entered Aries first, beating Venus out by about 16 hours.  And Mercury is going to spend a long time in Aries, because we have a Mercury retrograde coming on March 22, 2018.  It will station retrograde in 16 degrees of Aries on that day, station direct in 4 degrees of Aries on April 15, 2018 and finally leave Aries on May 4, 2018.  And don’t forget that Mercury is entering its retrograde shadow on March 9, 2018 and won’t clear it until May 3, 2018.  So if you’re feeling those Mercury retrograde vibes, you’re not imagining them.

But how is communication going to change with Mercury in Aries?  Mercury in Aries is nothing if not direct and it will definitely be a time of saying what you mean in a totally honest manner.  And that manner could be blunt, not all vague and sugar-coated like Mercury in Pisces.  Our decisions could be made rather impulsively during this extended transit of Mercury in Pisces. Action is a key word with Mercury in Aries.

Venus will be in Aries from March 6 through March 30, 2018.  Venus has departed its sign of exaltation in Pisces for one of its signs of detriment.  Venus is considered to be in detriment in Aries and Scorpio and in fall in Virgo. When Venus is transiting the sign of Aries, relationships can happen fast because instant gratification is a strong theme.  Aries is a cardinal fire sign and is all about initiating what I want and I want it now!  Aries is not known for its patience either. Venus also rules money, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself tempted to indulge in some impulse purchases during its transit.  Venus in Aries will form a challenging square to Saturn in Capricorn on March 13, 2018, so don’t be surprised if relationships or finances face some bumps on that day.

But on March 11, 2018, when Daylight Savings Time begins, we also have a powerful aspect with Mars in Sagittarius trining Uranus in Aries. They are exact in 26 degrees of their respective signs.  Mars in Sagittarius loves action while Uranus in Aries loves change.  This is a powerhouse combo of action and desire supporting change.  I am sure that we will all have a strong desire for independence on that day and an inclination to fight for what we believe in.  We won’t be afraid to take risks that day either.  It will be a perfect day to be open to new and unusual opportunities and break out of your comfort zone.  Just be mindful that Mercury in Aries will be squaring Saturn in Capricorn that day, so there could be a real sense of being tested in terms of getting new ventures launched.

As for me personally, this has been an incredibly testing time because I have lost power twice during the past week due to storms.  I am also experiencing the joys of Pluto transiting my 4^th house.  Pluto entered my 4^th house in late January and it is really shaking things up.  I’m hoping for calmer weather soon.

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.

A Dreamy Sun Neptune Conjunction and Jupiter Retrograde

The first week of March 2018 features a dreamy Sun/Neptune conjunction in 13 degrees of Pisces on March 4, 2018 and Jupiter stationing retrograde in 23 degrees of Scorpio on March 8, 2018.  That’s a lot of water energy floating around, no pun intended.

What can we expect from the Sun/Neptune conjunction?  The sun conjunct Neptune in its home sign of Pisces increases our sensitivity, intuition and empathy. It helps us get in touch with our soul’s purpose and assists us in resetting our priorities.  It can be a positive or negative influence in your life.  Just remember that if you are surrounded by negative people, you may find yourself feeling depressed, drained of energy or just plain scared. Try to set some boundaries in your relationships at this time.  If nothing else, this is a marvelous time to go to the movies or indulge in some escapist literature.  On a personal level, this conjunction is squaring my Gemini moon in the 8^th house, which is triggering a lot of issues about death, transformation and joint finances.

Jupiter is stationing retrograde in 23 degrees of Scorpio on March 8, 2018 and will station direct in 13 degrees of Scorpio on July 10, 2018. Jupiter retrograde is a time of spiritual introspection, and this is especially true with Jupiter in Scorpio because Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Jupiter in Scorpio has a natural 12^th house feel.  Jupiter retrograde is an optimal time to purify body and soul and a great time to detox.  It is also a great time to reassess in love and finances. Jupiter in Scorpio is all about surrendering and having faith in the universe. It can be a time of deep healing and facing our deepest fears.

Jupiter retrograde is also bound to affect our travel plans in terms of cancellations or delays.  It is also not the best time to take risks or gamble.

When Jupiter entered Scorpio back on October 10, 2017, I was initially excited and enthusiastic because I am a Scorpio.  But in the back of my mind, I was also remembering the last time Jupiter was in Scorpio in 2006 and 2007 and that was not such a good time for me.  In February 2006 Jupiter in Scorpio was conjunct my sun in my second house with a one degree orb and my husband nearly died of a pulmonary embolism after a hip replacement surgery.  In August 2006 Jupiter in Scorpio was conjunct my natal Saturn in my 1^st house and my mother and brother died within eight days of each other.  In September 2006 my dog, a rescue Greyhound, suddenly became ill and had to be euthanized.  Transiting Jupiter in Scorpio was forming a three degree conjunction to my natal Saturn and a four degree conjunction to my sun.

In 2018, transiting Jupiter in Scorpio formed a conjunction to my Scorpio sun on January 29^th when my husband was hospitalized for a subdural hematoma.  On February 10, 2018, another dog, also a rescue, started bleeding out from a mast cell tumor that had been operated on a few months earlier and had to be euthanized.  Transiting Jupiter was in 22 degrees of Scorpio conjunct both my sun and Venus in Scorpio in my second house.  I am wondering how all of this will play out with Jupiter retrograde because Jupiter will be on my sun again in April and May of 2018 and it will be on my Saturn in late June and July of 2018.  When Jupiter stations direct in 13 degrees of Scorpio, it will be one degree away from my natal Saturn.

In spite of the death and rebirth themes associated with the Jupiter in Scorpio transit for me, I am trying to look at the positive influence of Jupiter in Scorpio.  One of the perks this time around with Jupiter in Scorpio is that it trines Neptune in Pisces on three dates.  It trined Neptune in 11 degrees of Pisces on December 3, 2017 and will again on May 25, 2018 in 16 degrees of Pisces and its third hit will occur on August 19, 2018 in 15 degrees of Pisces.  All of these Jupiter Neptune trines favorably aspect my Scorpio sun and Saturn, so I am holding out faith that the universe will somehow provide for me.

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.

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 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 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:
