Prepare to get
unstuck in the month of September. I
know that many people, myself included, have felt the palpable frustration of
feeling stuck this summer. A huge reason
for this malaise was the retrograde party that was in effect during the summer. Mars retrograde certainly didn’t help
matters, either. But Mars stationed
direct on August 27, 2018, inspiring me to tweet:
August has been a really difficult month with Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Chiron retrograde, a powerful solar eclipse in Leo on August 11th and an emotionally charged full moon in Pisces on August 26th. And then were the deaths of Aretha Franklin, John McCain and Neil Simon. It has been a real clearing process. August is always a difficult month for me personally because it marks the deaths of my mother and brother, but this year death seemed to be a major theme. But I keep reminding myself that rebirth follows death and I think that is something we all need to remember. Personally, I will be thrilled when the month of August is over. Enough already, I say.A very happy day today as Mars stations direct after 2 month of retrograde. Time to stop feeling stuck and get our engines fired up with more energy available to launch plans. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) August 27, 2018
Mars stationed
direct in 28 degrees of Capricorn on August 27, 2018. It will remain in the sign of Capricorn until
September 10, 2018 when it re-enters Aquarius.
While Mars is still in Capricorn, I urge everyone to take responsibility
for launching your goals. Mars in
Capricorn imbues us with a sense of needing to take things seriously and
Capricorn is definitely renowned for its responsible nature.
Communications
start to improve on September 5, 2018 when Mercury enters its home sign of
Virgo where it remains until September 21, 2018. Mercury rules both Virgo and Gemini, so it is
very comfortable there. The transit of Mercury
in Virgo will add a precision to our speech, thought and process. Our minds will be as sharp as a tack as we
find ourselves to communicate more efficiently, focus on details more easily
and make practical decisions. This can
be a very productive time so make the most of it. The only downside of Mercury in Virgo is a
tendency to be too critical. If we are
mindful of that, we will reap the benefits of the Mercury in Virgo transit.
On the
following day, September 6, 2018, Saturn will station direct in 2 degrees of
Capricorn. Saturn has been retrograde
since April 17, 2018, so this will definitely be a welcome change. Saturn
inherently likes to test our patience and discipline, but when it is
retrograde, that energy is internalized and the testing process feels even more
frustrating. And having Saturn and Mars
retrograde was truly a karmic testing period when progress seemed totally elusive
and frustration and delays were a way of life.
Saturn in
direct motion will provide us with the energy to move forward in a more
organized and focused manner. We can start to take actions that will affect our
destiny. It is literally like a karmic
weight has been lifted and we feel free to get on with making the changes that
will positively impact our future. If we
have done the work of reviewing our goals and doing our due diligence, we face
a time of reaping the rewards that we have so justly earned during this trying
summer of retrogrades. And on September
30, 2018, Pluto will station direct in 18 degrees of Capricorn.
So the good
news about September 2018 is that we get a chance to make some headway and
progress in our lives after months of feeling tied down. As a tarot reader, I feel that the past few
months have been symbolized by the Eight of Swords tarot card.
I am choosing
to believe that September 2018 will usher in a period of mastery and change,
which I think is best represented by the Magician card.
Here’s to
putting the wisdom that we have attained in the past few months to constructive
use as we cross the threshold of change.
If you are
curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including this summer’s eclipses,
Pluto in Capricorn retrograde, Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron in Aries and Uranus
in Taurus 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. I even offer the option of tarot readings. 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
at:
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 3, 2017 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:
I have also 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:
Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter for my daily
astrological insights.
Happy Labor Day weekend to all in the United
States!
