A Super New Moon in Virgo Rocks New Beginnings with a Grand Trine in Earth


Hang on everyone, because we are now experiencing the closest super new moon of the year.  The moon is closer to the earth than it will be all year and it increases its potency and power for new beginnings.  It happens on August 23, 2019 at 6: 37 a.m. on the east coast of the United States in 6 degrees of Virgo. Whatever house it falls in your chart is where you should be setting intentions and planting seeds to reap the manifestations in about six months.  For me personally, it falls in my 11th house of friendships, group associations and goals.  That is a very fertile sweet spot in my chart to be focusing my energy.

A new moon in Virgo has strong themes of grounding, healing, helping and fixing.  Virgo is also inclined to cleaning and sorting out.  It is perfect energy for streamlining our lives, and that includes exercising, diet and acting with precision.  This new moon in Virgo is also accompanying the Sun, Mars, Venus and Mercury in Virgo, which further emphasizes the themes of detail planning and editing. Virgo loves to narrow the mind down to specifics and with Mercury just entered Virgo on August 29th, our mental powers of clarity are that much stronger.  The shadow side of all that Virgo energy is a tendency to get caught up in perfectionism and be hyper critical, so be mindful of that.

There is an incredibly positive Grand Earth Trine in play on August 30, 2019 that involves the sun and moon in 6 degrees of Virgo trining retrograde Uranus in 6 degrees of Virgo and widely trining retrograde Saturn in 14 degrees of Capricorn.  This is a lot of practical energy and Saturn’s presence helps us build for the future.  For once, we can honestly say that Saturn is a good guy.  And with the sun and moon trining Uranus in Taurus, we can expect positive change, an abundance of energy and exciting opportunities to emerge.  We might feel more self-confidence and freedom to express the more eccentric side of our personality.  Uranus in Taurus has been a key player recently in terms of spurring our desire for change.  On August 28, 2019, Mars in Virgo was exactly trine Uranus in Taurus and I tweeted:
This new moon in Virgo represents a fabulous opportunity to stretch out of our comfort zone and follow our intuition. We also have the new moon in 6 degrees of Virgo conjunct Mars in 7 degrees of Virgo which reinforces the theme of an abundance of energy and initiative.  Venus and Mercury in Virgo will bring love, patience and the ability to think before we act.  There is no doubt that Uranus in Taurus is a key player in this new moon and with all of these Virgo planets trining Uranus, our creativity is enhanced and information will flow.  And with Mercury direct in one of its home signs, technology should be very helpful to us.

Virgo is a mutable sign that adapts very well to change and we have two other planets in mutable signs that are contributing to the theme of change.  We are still experiencing the ongoing Jupiter in Sagittarius square to Neptune in Pisces which will be exact again on September 21, 2019 in 17 degrees of their respective signs. These two planets are helping us to have faith that we can implement the changes in our lives that we desire. So I urge everyone to meditate, get clear on your intentions and do whatever rituals you feel comfortable with to initiate some major changes in your lives.  Don’t waste this powerful and positive new moon energy.

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:


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:
