We are officially deep in the midst of Scorpio season as of
October 23, 2019, when the Sun entered Scorpio.
On that day I tweeted:
The sun moves into Scorpio today as we prepare for a month of intensity, passion, deep inner work and transformation. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 23, 2019
But on October 27, 2019 we have a New Moon occurring in 4
degrees of Scorpio. This new moon will
pack quite a wallop because it joins Mercury and Venus in Scorpio and opposes Uranus
in 4 degrees of Taurus. New moons are
traditionally considered an opportunity to set new intentions and this one is
no exception to that rule. Look to the house where the new moon falls to
determine where you should be setting new intentions. Those intentions could
manifest in a big way in about six months when we have a full moon in Scorpio. It falls in my first house of self and is
conjunct my Mercury in Scorpio and widely conjunct my Saturn in Scorpio. A new
moon in Scorpio generates intensity, deep feelings, tenacity, and extremely focused
energy. It can also be a time of releasing repressed feelings so that we can
experience new emotional beginnings and enter into a period of empowerment that
leads to major transformation in our lives.
The opposition to Uranus in Taurus is particularly
challenging because it may bring new awareness of behavior patterns that are no
longer serving our best interests. And
in typical Uranus fashion, that awareness can be delivered in a somewhat abrupt
and sudden manner. Uranus has a strong connection
to the superconscious, and it can literally be like a lightning bolt of insight
when it hits. Uranus opposing the sun
and moon will shake up routines that are stale and too predictable in our
lives. We could feel an immense revolutionary
urge. Secrets could be revealed that have a huge impact on the world. Uncomfortable truths could be revealed, power
struggles could emerge and some of us may be dealing with fears of loss and
abandonment. Unresolved trauma from the past involving trust issues could very
well be triggered under this new moon. Scorpio is an all or nothing sign, and
this new moon could manifest in unexpected extremes in relationships and
intensified emotions. Weather patterns
could get even more intense and the political drama could be ramped up a notch
as more secrets are revealed.
Mars in Libra is doing its fair share to make this a
frustrating and challenging new moon as well.
It is squaring Saturn in 15 degrees of Capricorn, which is definitely
not fun or an easy aspect to deal with.
I have this aspect natally in my chart, so I am all too familiar with
it. It screams frustration as we feel
blocked in our efforts to move forward.
Mars is assertive energy that wants to act and Saturn is all about
structures, testing and limitations. The
best way to cope with this energy is to pull back on our assertive impulses and
instincts while focusing on setting goals.
Just don’t expect to be able to act on them right now. Mars in Libra is also forming an irritating
inconjunct with Neptune in 16 degrees of Pisces. Quite literally, we could experience some
upsets at sea under the auspices of this aspect. Or it might just manifest in aggressive
behavior and general chaos. It requires some
level of adjustment or compromise in order for these two planets to coexist.
Mercury in Scorpio is slowing down as it prepares to
station retrograde in 27 degrees of Scorpio on October 31, 2019. Will Halloween be trick or treat with Mercury
stationing retrograde? Mercury will be
in Scorpio until December 10, 2019 due to the retrograde, so be prepared for
some intense communications.
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

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
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:
