A Transformational Full Moon in Scorpio



The second half of May is promising to be a game changer for relationships.  On May 15, 2019 both Venus and Mars changed signs.  Venus entered one of the signs it rules, Taurus and Mars entered Cancer, which is considered to be in its sign of fall.  On that day I tweeted:
So we have Venus in its happy place and Mars in its place of fall.  This will definitely put a different spin on relationships and on May 18, 2019 we have a potentially transformational full moon in 27 degrees of Scorpio.  We all know that water signs are the most emotionally sensitive, but a full moon in Scorpio is the most intense, psychic and penetrating water sign so this really ups the emotional ante.

A full moon is a time of culmination, closure, endings and an opportunity for secrets to be revealed.  When that full moon is in the sign of Scorpio, there can be a release of repressed emotions as we seek to transform old emotional patterns.  The full moon energy is also amplified by the presence of four planets in Taurus for the second half of May: the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Uranus.  On the day of the full moon, Venus is conjunct Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus.  Venus in Taurus may crave security, but Uranus craves freedom and space, so this aspect could cause some disruption in whatever house it hits in your chart.

Mercury in 23 degrees of Taurus is trining Pluto in 23 degrees of Capricorn on the full moon and that can quite literally be a good thing for the most part. Mercury is in opposition to the full moon in Scorpio and it can increase our psychic sensitivity, but there is a shadow side of this aspect that can contribute to some paranoia.   Mercury trining Pluto does provide the energy we need to transform those negative emotions into something positive. If we have been locked into negative emotional patterns from our past, we have the opportunity with this aspect to release them so that we can attract more positive vibrations and situations into our lives. Deep fundamental changes are bound to occur in your chart wherever 3 degrees of Taurus and 23 degrees of Capricorn fall. For me personally, I will be feeling it in my 7th and 4th houses respectively.  And this full moon is conjuncting my natal Venus in the 2nd house and squaring my Pluto in the 11th house. Yes, this full moon is activating that Venus Pluto square.  I am trying to have faith that this full moon in 27 degrees of Scorpio trining my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer in the 10th house is the saving grace aspect for me.

Don’t forget that both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn are retrograde during this full moon and they are heavy hitters as well in this astrological landscape.  With both of these planets in Capricorn, security and stability are key themes but that Venus Uranus conjunction in Taurus will be challenging because it craves freedom and space.  Saturn has to do with what you have earned, so this will be an area of life where you may face some rewards or some setbacks and delays.  And Pluto pertains to power and control, and a full moon in Scorpio, the sign that Pluto rules, is bound to trigger these issues and perhaps initiate a few power struggles in relationships. But the full moon in Scorpio is also sextiling Pluto in Capricorn on the full moon, so that is a supportive aspect that lends a deeper intensity and meaning to the transformative quality of this Scorpio full moon.

There are some other aspects on the full moon that contain themes of healing due to some painful challenges.  Mars in Cancer is squaring Chiron in Aries, which can reinforce the theme of vulnerability but also stimulate the urge to protect ourselves and those we perceive as vulnerable.  Chiron is the Wounded Healer, so it plays a pivotal role in the healing quality of this full moon. The Scorpio moon is also trining Neptune in Pisces, adding tones of compassion and empathy on our transformation journey.  Neptune in Pisces is still involved in an ongoing square with Jupiter in Sagittarius until October 2019 and this aspect, while a bit challenging, can inspire us to move towards a better reality.

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 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35.  I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option of a 30 minute astrology consultation with a one question tarot reading for only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget.

Since I love to talk astrology and believe in making it more available to everyone, I am now offering pay by the minute astrology readings through Click 4Advisor.  Check it out at:


This might be the perfect way for you to get a taste of what astrology can do for you in terms of providing insight into your life during these challenging time.  Obviously the 30 minute readings are the best deal, but you might be surprised by how much you learn in 10 minutes or less from a brief glance at your chart. If I am not available you can always request a callback and I will respond quickly.

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.

I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in Newton, MA.  I use the Celestial Tarot Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols.  A tarot reading is another great option for obtaining insight and clarity.

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 at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday afternoons.  Recently I have added online booking for my Sunday clients on my site.  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:
