Jupiter Square Neptune Take Three and the Sun Enters Libra





Now that we have all survived the recent Pisces full moon on September 14, 2019, we can focus on even more Neptunian energy with the third and final Jupiter in Sagittarius square to Neptune in Pisces of 2019 on September 21, 2019.  The first square occurred on January 13, 2019 when both planets were direct in 14 degrees of their respective signs.  The last square occurred on June 16, 2019 when both planets were in 18 degrees of their respective signs, but Jupiter was retrograde.  The final square of 2019 occurs in 17 degrees on September 21, 2019 featuring Neptune retrograde.

The Jupiter Neptune square has been a prevailing influence throughout 2019.  It has a strong theme of dissolving limitations and boundaries.  Jupiter focuses on expansion (key word for Jupiter) of the self through a pursuit of meaning while Neptune inspires us to break free of the boundaries of the limitations of the material world and the self.  This is a pretty potent aspect to be influencing the year 2019 because both planets are in the signs they rule: Jupiter in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces.  It’s a great influence for creative types and exploring spirituality, but not so much for being grounded and making practical decisions.

Jupiter has a tendency to promise more than it can deliver while Neptune is illusory, evasive, escapist and addictive.  But Neptune does have the power to illuminate, so don’t count it out. Jupiter squaring Neptune can dissolve the truth; Jupiter represents our search for the truth and Neptune is all about dissolving.  With this final square occurring in 17 degrees of Sagittarius and Pisces, Sagittarians born between December 8th-10th will feel its impact the most and Pisces born between March 5th – 8th will also be feeling the greatest impact. But we will all be feeling its influence to some effect, especially if you have any mutable planets (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) around 17 degrees.

How will this aspect play out in the world?  Situations could escalate out of control as beliefs take over.  One glance at the political scene these days in the United States and Great Britain is proof of that.  We do have an advantage of Jupiter in Sagittarius bringing some humor in the face of this madness.  Look for the Sagittarian traits of wit, irony and sarcasm as coping tools for any despondency you may experience.  The best possible outcome of this aspect is to attain a collective lowering of aspirations to make them more reasonable and manageable. 

Another astrological factor in our favor is that Saturn stationed direct on September 18, 2019, which is very helpful for helping us to create some new structures and boundaries in our lives.  On that day I tweeted:
On September 23, 2019 the sun enters the air sign of Libra and the fall season officially begins.  When the sun is in Libra, there is more of a focus on finding balance and harmony in relationships.  Libra is associated with tact, diplomacy, sociability, tolerance and an interest in style, which may lead us to some spending sprees. But we need to be aware that the shadow side of Libra involves a tendency to be self-serving, indecisive, passive aggressive and superficial. It will definitely be more challenging to make decisions because Libra is renowned for weighing (sometimes endlessly) both sides of a situation. And we could wind up giving too much in relationships because Libra is a well-known people pleaser.  So the Libra sun transit is definitely all about finding a measure of balance in relationships.

Neptune in Pisces will take another hit on September 24, 2019 when it receives an irritating inconjunct from Mercury in Libra.  Miscommunications could run rampant and we need to be mindful not to deliver more than we can deliver with this aspect.  Inconjuncts always require some kind of adjustment and this one involves being honest with ourselves in order to translate the truth.

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:
