Relationships Shift as Venus and Mars Change Signs




Relationships are about to experience some major shifts as both Venus and Mars change signs on May 15, 2019.  Venus in Aries is considered to be in detriment and it has been living up to its impulsive and excitable nature quite a bit lately.  On May 7, 2019 Venus in Aries squared Saturn in Capricorn, which is not exactly a warm and fuzzy aspect.  On that day I tweeted:
A couple of days later on May 9, 2019, Venus in Aries squared Pluto in Capricorn because we are heading towards that big Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn in January 2020.  I have a Venus Pluto square natally and I confess that it really triggered me. It inspired me to tweet:
But on May 15, 2019, Venus will enter Taurus, which it rules, so we can expect Venus to be a lot more comfortable here since many of us will still be reeling from the Venus in Aries transit.  Venus will be in Taurus until June 8, 2019, so enjoy it.  Venus in Taurus is all about enjoying inner and outer beauty, love, money and the finer things in life. We will find ourselves paying attention to our material surroundings.  We will also be feeling more sensual and possessive as we seek security and value that lasts.  But the shadow side of Venus in Taurus is that excessive possessiveness.  We should also be feeling more inclined to desire commitment and stability in our relationships.  That is so not Venus in Aries, which tends to live for the moment.

Venus enters Taurus on the morning of May 15th, while Mars enters the sign of Cancer in the evening.  Mars in Gemini was very fast paced and when Mars is in Cancer, it is considered to be in fall because its fire is dampened by Cancer’s self-protective and sensitive water energy.  Mars in Cancer is more moody, passive aggressive and doesn’t act in a direct manner.  Suppression of anger is also common with this transit.  But it is still cardinal energy, so don’t be afraid to initiate by approaching the past in a new way.  The best way to utilize the Mars in Cancer energy is to take action regarding security and nurturing, which are key Cancer themes.  Don’t forget that Cancer is all about emotional security and protection, but Mars in Cancer is slower to act and fights with deep sensitivity for what it holds most dear. It’s also a great time for tackling domestic tasks.  Yet the shadow side of Mars in Cancer is a tendency to be reactive and oversensitive, so be mindful of that until July 1, 2019 when Mars enters the fire sign of Leo.

On May 11, 2019, we actually have a positive aspect involving Saturn in Capricorn. The Sun in 20 degrees of Taurus forms a flowing trine with Saturn in 20 degrees of Capricorn.  This aspect can bring recognition and achievement for earlier efforts.  It adds a note of stability to our lives.  Respect is a key factor with the Sun trining Saturn and it is a wonderful opportunity to set some boundaries in relationships and engage in more self-discipline.

On the following day, May 12, 2019, we celebrate Mother’s Day.  This day features an inspiring and loving Grand Fire Trine as the Leo moon trines Jupiter in Sagittarius and Venus in Aries while also sextiling Mars in Gemini before the moon moves into Virgo on Sunday afternoon.  So Venus and Mars will make some positive aspects before they depart Aries and Gemini.

If you are looking for a unique and inspiring Mother’s Day Gift, please consider giving your mom an astrology reading.  Check out my menu of services at:


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:
