The
transformation train shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Pluto in Capricorn has been taking some heavy
hits lately, especially with its recent square from the sun in Libra on October
12, 2018 and the Capricorn moon conjuncting it and squaring the Libra sun on October 16, 2018. That kind of energy screams transformation
and evokes the intensity of Scorpio. On
October 12, 2018, I tweeted:
The drama returns today when Libra sun squares Pluto in Capricorn which could trigger some power struggles. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 12, 2018
And on October
16, 2018, I tweeted:
But on October 23, 2018 the sun enters Scorpio, joining Mercury, retrograde Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio. Mercury and Venus leave Scorpio on October 31, 2018 and Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8, 2018. Venus will return to Scorpio on December 2, 2018.We’re still dealing with some heavy emotional intensity today as Capricorn moon conjuncts Pluto and squares Libra sun. Try to be open to transformation. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 16, 2018
As a Scorpio, I
tend to love the transit of the sun in Scorpio because it is my birthday season
and birthdays always tend to infuse us with a boost of energy. Scorpio is not a
sign for lightweights, though. When the sun is in Scorpio, we tend to
experience depth, intimacy and extremes of feeling. We desire (a key word for Scorpio) getting to
the bottom of matters and crave anything that is hidden, taboo or secret. The vibe is passionate and intense. Scorpio energy is strong-willed because it is
fixed water but it can be incredibly healing and transformative. But watch out for a tendency to be jealous,
obsessive, vindictive and manipulative when the sun is in Scorpio (until November
22, 2018, which is Thanksgiving in the United States). That is the dark, shadow side of Scorpio.
On the
following day, October 24, 2018, we have a powerhouse full moon in 1 degree of
Taurus. This full moon is bound to affect
relationships because it is ruled by Venus and the sun conjuncts retrograde
Venus in Scorpio while the moon opposes it.
The real heavy hitter in this full moon is retrograde Uranus in 0
degrees of Taurus. The full moon is
conjunct Uranus while the sun and Venus in Scorpio oppose it. This could also play out in feelings of isolation
and detachment in our relationships. A
full moon conjunct Uranus tends to manifest in feelings of rebelliousness and very
disruptive energy. Surprises and changes could definitely be coming in relationships,
finances and values. Impulsive reactions
and sudden events are key themes with this full moon.
There is a
tremendous amount of fixed energy present with this full moon in Taurus. We have seven planets in fixed signs: the
sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio, Mars in Aquarius and the moon and
Uranus in Taurus. This creates a planetary configuration called a Fixed Grand
Cross with all of these oppositions and squares. Stubbornness is a given but
the fixed energy does give us the determination and tenacity to achieve our
goals. It reinforces the T-square of Uranus in Taurus to the north node in Leo
and the south node in Aquarius. The full
moon squares the south node in Aquarius, forcing us to move on from detachment
and rebellion to the future of the north node in Leo, which entails finding what
makes you proud. And the nodes will be
changing signs on November 7, 2018 into Cancer and Capricorn. So this really is
our last shot at letting go of what no longer serves us before the first week
in November when retrograde Uranus re-enters Aries, Jupiter enters Sagittarius
and the north node enters Cancer while the south node enters Capricorn.
Retrograde
Venus in Scorpio opposing retrograde Uranus in Taurus will trigger issues of
control versus independence in relationships.
It could get messy and complicated.
Uranus in Taurus is known for its association with extreme weather and
earth events. When Uranus entered Taurus in mid-May, a volcano erupted in
Hawaii. I hope that we don’t have any
more catastrophes during this full moon, but it wouldn’t surprise me if
something happened. Uranus does
re-enter Aries on November 6, 2018 (Election Day in the United States) until March
6, 2019, when it resumes its transit in Taurus until 2026.
I know that
this full moon sounds like it is a tale of gloom and doom, but we do have some
positive aspects going for us once we get past the Uranus factor. I am definitely in the crossfire with my
Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio taking a major hit. But I have been undergoing the transit of
Uranus opposing my natal Mercury for some time now.
The good news
with this full moon is that Saturn in 4 degrees of Capricorn is forming a
flowing, beneficial trine to the Taurus moon can help turn those unexpected
changes that Uranus brings into unexpected opportunities and guide us into
reassurance with all of this relationship uncertainty. It is a mitigating factor for the upheaval
that Uranus in Taurus delivers. And it can give us the patience and emotional
strength to handle difficulties in our relationships. For once, Saturn is not playing the bad guy
by lending a note of stability to all of this upheaval.
Venus in
Scorpio is forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in Capricorn, which gives
Saturn more help in mitigating any damage caused by the impulsive and Uranus in
Taurus. That is nothing to laugh at
either. We also have Mercury and Jupiter
conjunct in Scorpio which favors thinking big and fosters the ability to see
the big picture and brighter horizons.
If you are
curious as to how all of the planetary changes, including this summer’s eclipses,
Jupiter in Scorpio, Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus will be affecting you
in 2018, please consider getting an astrological reading. You have to be aware and strike while the
iron is hot and we only have another couple of weeks of Jupiter in Scorpio. 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.
And don’t
forget about my Venus Retrograde Special.
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:#VenusRetrograde is back and so is my Venus Retrograde Special for $25!

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:
