I know that we are just coming out from the influence of a
powerful full moon in Aquarius on August 15, 2019, when I tweeted:
But retrograde Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) is still calling the shots on August 16, 2019 when Mercury in 6 degrees of Leo is forming a challenging square to Uranus in 6 degrees of Taurus. This aspect tends to manifest in lots of nervous tension and occasionally upsetting news. Our tolerance levels may be low as well with this aspect. I have a natal Mercury Uranus square, so I am all too familiar with what it represents. Some astrologers have referred to this aspect as the “frustrated genius” and I concur. An individual with Mercury squaring Uranus is bright, but easily bored and craves constant stimulation. The mind and the desire for change are quite literally duking it out. They may feel isolated in their outlook and tend to hate school because they don’t like being told what to think. But Mercury squaring Uranus is also capable of generating some deeply inspired insights. The most constructive use of this energy is to find a healthy balance between common logic and wild inspiration. Meditation and self-reflections are useful tools to engage in at this time to help us achieve that level of balance.Today’s #FullMoon in Aquarius has a particularly dramatic influence on relationships with its added oppositions to both Mars and Venus in Leo. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) August 15, 2019
Relationships will take on a complete different vibe in the
coming week as both Mars and Venus depart the demonstrative and fun-loving
party sign of Leo and enter the sign of Virgo.
Mars enters Virgo on August 18, 2019 until October 4, 2019. Mars is much less aggressive in Virgo than it
was in Leo and is more service-oriented, meaning that we may act on our
feelings by doing things for those we care about. Mars in Virgo is slow to act and is obsessed
with flawless attention to detail. It is
workhorse energy that is geared towards striving towards achieving long-term
goals because it possesses courage and willpower. This is the kind of energy
that makes you want to declutter and start writing those to-do lists. Mars in Virgo can also help you improve your
daily routine and focus more on health and fitness. A major theme of Mars in Virgo is a focus on
performance, but it has a shadow side of being critical of its partner and its
anger can be triggered if situations or people don’t meet the high standards of
perfection that Virgo is associated with.
But don’t forget that we can use this energy to improve relationships
during this transit because Virgo likes to work and be of service. Food for thought…
Venus enters Virgo on August 21, 2019 and stays in Virgo
until September 14, 2019. Venus in Virgo is considered to be in the sign of its
fall because it is literally in the sign opposite of its exaltation,
Pisces. Venus in Virgo has a tendency to
subconsciously sabotage relationships by being overly critical and pessimistic. Venus in Virgo has a shadow side of analyzing
(another strong Virgo trait) relationships with obsessive detail. So Venus isn’t
exactly the happiest camper in the sign of Virgo.
But all is not gloom and doom with Venus in the sign of Virgo. Venus in Virgo demonstrates its love through
practical means such as rendering services for those we love and simply being
there for them. It’s a lot less flashy
than Venus in Leo, which is prone to romantic gestures and giving extravagant
gifts. Venus in Virgo is more reserved
and discriminating. When Venus is in
Virgo, we are more motivated to improve relationships and that is not a bad
thing. If you think of Venus in Leo as
representing the courtship period of a relationship, then Venus in Virgo is the
natural aftermath of settling down to the daily routines in a
relationship. It is quite literally
coming down to earth after the initial infatuation period wears off. And Venus in Virgo will be followed by Venus
in Libra in September, a sign that Venus rules and is eminently comfortable in.
So if we do the necessary work on our relationships, we get to reap the benefits
when Venus is transiting Libra. Hold
that thought…
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 and
a telephone astrology consultation can be a perfect way to find out how the
July 2019 eclipses affected your chart and impacted your life.
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:

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.

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:
