Mars is finally
getting ready to leave the sign of Aquarius after nearly six months. It entered Aquarius on May 16, 2018,
stationed retrograde in 9 degrees of Aquarius on June 26, 2018, slipped back
into Capricorn on August 12, 2018 and stationed direct in 28 degrees of
Capricorn on August 27, 2018. It
re-entered Aquarius on September 10, 2018.
It would be a grave understatement to say that it has been a challenging
transit. I have my natal Mars in
Aquarius, so I was also dealing with a Mars Return and having Mars squaring all
of my Scorpio planets (Mercury, Sun, Saturn, Venus, Ceres, Pallas Athena and
Black Moon Lilith) and then finally opposing my Pluto in Leo.
But before Mars
sails into the calmer water sign of Pisces on November 15, 2018, it will depart
on a high note with two delightful aspects.
The first one occurs on November 9, 2018 when retrograde Venus in 25
degrees of Libra trines Mars in 25 degrees of Aquarius. This is the second time this year we have
experienced this aspect; it also occurred on August 7, 2018 when Venus was in 1
degree of Libra and Mars was retrograde in 1 degree of Aquarius. What can we expect from this aspect? It will serve as a nice balancing act for
relationships because it tends to increase the desire for social contact and
enjoyment of the finer things in life.
It can also be an opportunity for attracting a new, more suitable partner
if you are single and in existing relationships it favors discussing any
tensions that have been brewing for some time.
Venus trining Mars also fosters creativity, redecorating, increases the
likelihood of attending parties or entertaining. This all pretty sweet.
The last aspect
that Mars in Aquarius makes is a supportive sextile to retrograde Uranus in 29
degrees of Aries. Mars sextiling Uranus
increases our desire for fun and triggers our excitement junkie. There is a strong possibility of attracting
people who are different or, conversely, breaking away from relationships that
are confining or restrictive. It
definitely favors implementing changes and there is added emphasis on this
theme with both of these planets being in 29 degrees, the critical degree. The Uranian energy is amplified because
Uranus rules Aquarius and Uranus is very comfortable in the cardinal,
initiating sign of Aries.
Mars will have
a much shorter transit in the sign of Pisces; it will enter its home sign of
Aries on December 31, 2018. When Mars is
in Pisces, we will be more motivated to pursue our spiritual and emotional
drives and we are naturally more averse to conflict. Mars in Pisces has a tendency to put others’
needs before our own and act in more idealistic manner. It also helps us connect with our intuition
and act on it. Mars in Pisces literally
awakes our Divine Will so that we can act without fear and from a place of love
because Pisces is so compassionate. It
is prime time to act on healing our own wounds and that ultimately helps others
too. It’s a pretty sweet way to end the
turbulent year of 2018. But we do need to be mindful of not getting stuck in
the role of victim or martyr, which is Pisces territory.
Personally, I
am over the moon over the upcoming Mars in Pisces transit. After having Mars in Aquarius square all of
my Scorpio planets, I now get to experience Mars trining my Scorpio planets and
my south node, midheaven, Uranus and Jupiter in Cancer. The only real challenge that I will face from
Mars in Pisces is a square to my Gemini moon, which may make me prone to more
childish or impulsive behavior and a few temper tantrums. But I’ll take it because all of the trines
outweigh this one square in my opinion.
And I am feeling more optimistic about the remainder of 2018 and 2019
since Jupiter entered its home sign of Sagittarius on November 8, 2018,
inspiring me to tweet:
Big day today astrologically as Jupiter enters its home sign of Sagittarius for the 1st time in 12 years. Jupiter is totally at home in Sagittarius and brings more optimism while it expands the truth and encourages more honesty. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 8, 2018
If you are
curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please
consider getting an astrological reading. 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

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:
