The Virgo Posse Expands as the Sun and Mercury Enter Virgo, Mars and Venus Hook Up in Virgo and both Mars and Venus Trine Uranus in Taurus




Mars and Venus have already entered the sign of Virgo, on August 18 and 21, 2019, respectively. Those were big days astrologically and my tweets on those days reflected it.


But we are on the brink of a lot more Virgo energy coming down the pike.  The Sun enters Virgo on August 23, 2019.  When the sun is in the mutable earth sign of Virgo, we tend to practical concerns as we get organized and become more detail oriented.  It’s also a fabulous opportunity to focus on our health, jobs and daily routines.  I have always found it fascinating that the sun in Virgo corresponds with the whole back to school time of year.  It’s a period of buckling down after the Leo infused fun filled days of summer.  We are still in the throes of summer, but the season is winding down and our minds are turning to more practical matters.

On the following day, August 24, 2019 Mars and Venus will be conjunct in 3 degrees of Virgo. This aspect will increase the desire for intimate relations as the urge to merge spikes.  Creativity will also soar with this aspect.  It’s great party energy, so if you feel inclined to host a party, feel free to do so. This is a very social aspect and it would be a shame to waste it.

Venus and Mars in Virgo are also making some beneficial trines to Uranus in Taurus.  On August 26, 2019 Venus in 6 degrees of Virgo trines Uranus in 6 degrees of Taurus.  This is one of my personal favorite aspects because I have it natally with my Venus in Scorpio trining Uranus in Cancer.  And both are retrograde to boot!   Venus trining Uranus inspires us to experiment with old and new relationships.  We crave excitement. And with Venus in Virgo, we just might want to try something new in an existing relationship to fix any kinks.  I’m not saying that we should throw out old relationships, but be open to the possibility of change.  Venus trining Uranus is also a favorable influence for socializing, shopping, creativity and gambling if you’re so inclined.  If you were wondering when it might pay off to buy a lottery ticket, this aspect tends to give you an edge…

On August 28, 2019, Mars in 6 degrees of Virgo trines Uranus in 6 degrees of Taurus.  This aspect packs quite a punch in terms of wanting to break free of restrictions and boring routines.  It’s got a strong theme of flying that freak flag that may have been under wraps for a while.  Mars trining Uranus also triggers the need to engage in some risk taking, which we may have to monitor.  But with Mars in Virgo we may have a built in protector; Mars doesn’t act as quickly and impetuously as it does in Leo.  But Uranus in Taurus can be stubborn, so watch that tendency.

Mercury enters Virgo on August 29, 2019 to complete the Virgo posse.  Mercury remains in Virgo until September 14, 2019 and it is a very happy camper in Virgo because it is one of the two signs Mercury rules; Gemini is the other sign. But Mercury is exalted in Virgo and it doesn’t get any better than that.  When Mercury is in Virgo, we can be incredibly productive as we find it easier to get straight to the point.  Communications become more practical with precise thought and speech and we can analyze situations more easily.  This is a perfect comeback to this summer’s Mercury retrograde.  Mercury cleared its retrograde shadow on August 15th and with Mercury direct and speeding through Virgo, the recent Mercury retrograde will be a distant memory.  It’s full steam ahead with communications.

And the month of August ends with more Virgo energy as we experience a new moon in Virgo on August 30th.  I will address that in next week’s post.

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:
