Neptune and Jupiter Take Some Hits from the Virgo Posse and Reality Gets Blurred



I know that with the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Venus in the earth sign of Virgo, we should be feeling more grounded, but the first couple of weeks of September have strong themes of misinterpretation, betrayal and deception running rampant. Reality is definitely going to get quite blurred. How could this be?  Chalk it up to the fact that they will all be squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius during this period and opposing Neptune in Pisces.  And we have been under the influence of a Jupiter/Neptune square for most of 2019.  The next exact hit will occur on September 21, 2019 in 17 degrees of their respective signs. By early October we should be free of this disruptive and confusing influence.


Venus in Virgo has already been acting up.  On September 2, 2019, Venus in Virgo squared Jupiter in Sagittarius, inspiring me to tweet:
A couple of days later on September 4, 2019, we experienced Venus in 17 degrees of Virgo opposing Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces and I tweeted:
Mercury in 15 degrees of Virgo is squaring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius on September 6th and it opposes Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces on September 7, 2019. With Mercury squaring Jupiter, we may be talking really big plans that don’t have a firm foundation.  Mercury opposing Neptune on the following day can lead to lies, misunderstandings and general confusion.  It’s really a good idea to hold off on making any major decisions at this time if you can.

On September 8, 2019 we also have the sun in 15 degrees of Virgo squaring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius.  This aspect can play out as things looking better than they are and it will be incredibly easy to slip up.  The truth can be somewhat distorted and we need to make a conscious effort to be clear in our directions and instructions because Neptune is retrograde.

Retrograde Neptune in Pisces takes a hit on September 10, 2019 when it is opposed by the sun in 17 degrees of Virgo.  This aspect can tend to do a number on our self-confidence by erosion or dissolving (a key Neptune word).  I’d also like to mention here that anyone who has a birthday on September 10th (give or take five days) is experiencing Neptune opposing their sun, so don’t be too alarmed if you feel like you are doubting yourself.  This too shall pass.

And now for Mars in Virgo.  Mars in 15 degrees of Virgo will be squaring Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius on September 12, 2019.  This is pretty forceful and high octane energy, but we need to be mindful of the fact that it can make us greedy and lose control.  Mars in 17 degrees of Virgo will be opposing Neptune in 17 degrees of Pisces on September 14, 2019 when we have a full moon in 21 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect can manifest in feelings of discouragement, weakness and inadequacy.  Self-deception can really be out greatest enemy at this time.

The bottom line with this lineup of Virgo planets squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius and opposing Neptune in Pisces is that our plans are getting a major reality check.  We may endure some pain during this process but it is also an opportunity for growth.  But Saturn in Capricorn is actually helping us with this process because it receives beneficial trines from Venus in Virgo on September 1st, Mercury in Virgo on September 5th, the sun in Virgo on September 6th, and Mars in Virgo on September 9th.  Hold onto that thought and acknowledge that Mars trining Saturn can be instrumental in making any project that we undertake a success if we manage to stay centered, calm and persevere amid the chaos of the squares and oppositions to Jupiter and Neptune. 

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:
