We are now
officially in the window between the first round of the 2019 eclipses. The next eclipse is a lunar eclipse on
January 21, 2019 in 0 degrees of Leo. We experienced the first solar eclipse on
January 5, 2019 when I tweeted:
The first eclipse of 2019 occurs today featuring a solar eclipse in Capricorn conjunct Saturn. We will need to reflect on what part of our past is holding us back before we move forward. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 5, 2019
This is definitely
pretty heavy energy and Capricorn is living up to its reputation as the harsh
taskmaster. It’s certainly not the
lightest of times. I had a good laugh on
Monday when I read astrologer Penny Thornton’s comments on her website www.astrolutely.com. She said:
“I don’t know what each and everyone of you are experiencing as we
enter the second week of January, but you’ll be an exception to the rule if you’re
having a whale of a time. With the Sun
hooked up to Pluto and Saturn to Mercury this is a tough astro-scape by anyone’s
standards.”
Penny Thornton
updates her site on Monday and if you don’t already read it, I highly recommend
it. Her comments for this week not only gave me a good laugh but helped to put
things in perspective for me. And I didn’t
feel quite so overwhelmed with the sense of responsibility and emotional angst
that this eclipse triggered.
But getting
back to the matters at hand, which is what all of this Capricorn energy is
about—taking care of business. On January
11, 2019, the Sun and Pluto have their annual hookup or conjunction in 20
degrees of Capricorn. The Sun represents
our ego, identity and individuality while Pluto represents transformation
through destruction and reconstruction.
Obviously we are going to have some breakthroughs about the deeper
truths of our existence. When the Sun
and Pluto are conjunct more can be revealed about what has been hidden in terms
of the unconscious sources of our disempowerment. Hopefully this awareness of our patterns will
provide us with the determination we need to purge what is no longer serving
our highest good and transform our lives.
So don’t be afraid to delve deeply into your unconscious on January 11th. And it wouldn’t hurt to look at where 20
degrees of Capricorn falls in your chart.
It’s happening in my 4th house of home, family and beginnings
and endings in life.
On the
following day, January 12th, Mercury and Saturn are conjunct in 12
degrees of Capricorn. The fun never
ends, does it? Okay, it has that somber
Capricorn vibe, but there is a positive side to this conjunction. Mercury conjunct Saturn in Capricorn can be a
good time to focus on what we need to be doing and accomplishing our
goals. There is a great deal of strength
in this aspect that we need to tap into.
It may be the weekend, but try to get rid of any distractions.
Jupiter in
Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces for the first of three exact squares
in 2019 on January 13, 2019 in 14 degrees of their respective signs. Jupiter will amplify the spiritual energy of
Neptune. But we may experience some
misplaced optimism and struggle with our expectations and dreams as our faith
is tested. This test of faith could
manifest in an embarrassing loss or disappointment. I would also caution everyone
to be very careful in love, gambling, drugs and get rich quick schemes as
illusions are going to be stripped away.
There could be a tendency to act arrogantly and feel overconfident as if
you could get away with anything and not get caught. But, trust me, you will get caught. This aspect
could place a strain on relationships, especially if you have been over
idealizing your partner. And if you have
any personal planets like your sun, moon, or ascendant around 14 degrees in the
mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius, you will feel this
aspect big-time. My moon is in 14
degrees of Gemini, so it looks like I am definitely in the line of fire.
This first of
the Jupiter Neptune squares may present us with a problem that challenges our
beliefs. The second of the Jupiter
Neptune squares occurs on June 16, 2019 in 18 degrees of Sagittarius and
Pisces. Jupiter will be retrograde then
and Neptune will be direct. But the
second square may actually provide us with an alternative solution to the
problem. By the time the third and final
square rolls around on September 21, 2019, Jupiter will be direct and Neptune
will be retrograde in 17 degrees of their signs. If the third time is the charm, we will be
experiencing a profound change and be able to integrate a new approach to what
Jupiter and Neptune mean to us. Here’s
hoping that we get this right.
If you are
curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please
consider getting an astrological reading. I am now offering short telephone astrology
consultations for 15 minutes or 30 minutes which are available for purchase on
the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the
cost of $25 or $35. In the spirit of
utilizing the energy of the January 5th solar eclipse in my 3rd
house, I am starting to use FaceTime for my readings and have installed the
Google Duo app on my phone for the benefit of my Android clients. So if you
want to see me in addition to talking to me, I am giving you the choice to do
so. I even offer the option of tarot readings. There is something for everyone
and my menu of services can accommodate any budget.
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
