A Powerful Full Moon in Aries Sets off a Cardinal T-square as Relationships Undergo Major Transformation


The Scorpio energy continues despite the fact that the sun is still in Libra.  Mercury entered Scorpio on October 3, 2019 for an extended stay due to the upcoming Mercury Retrograde and Venus followed suit on October 9, 2019.  On that day I tweeted: 
Venus in Scorpio is also going to be affecting the full moon in 20 degrees of Aries on October 13, 2019.  On October 12, 2019 Venus in Scorpio will be opposing retrograde Uranus in 5 degrees of Taurus.  There will be strong themes of desiring emotional freedom and independence with this aspect.  It could also lead to exciting new encounters.  It’s definitely wild card energy.  Uranus is currently transiting my 7th house, so I have no doubt that it will affect my relationships.

But this full moon in Aries is triggering a cardinal T-square that involves the sun in Libra, the moon in Aries and Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. With the sun and moon squaring Saturn in Capricorn, people could be displaying a take charge attitude and resentment could build against anyone who opposes our actions. We have quite the plethora of planets in cardinal signs during this full moon: the sun in Libra, Mars in Libra, the moon in Aries, Chiron in Aries, and Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.  Cardinal signs are the movers and shakers of the astrological universe, so we will probably feel quite inspired to initiate some action with this full moon.

The sun in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn has a very manipulative vibe which could feature power struggles getting quite ugly.  I have a natal Sun in Scorpio square to Pluto in Leo natally, and I am all too familiar with this energy. This aspect can make one terrified of loss and be accompanied by an intense need for privacy. The sun squaring Pluto can also indicate a need to be in control of situations, but the upside of it is that letting go can lead to a rebirth, which is Pluto’s theme song. And the moon in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn has a very transformational vibe that holds the potential for ending one phase of our development in order to be reborn, but we need to be mindful of controlling behavior and manipulation.

All of this Pluto energy (and don’t forget that Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio) can manifest in the need to control which can invariably lead to ego conflicts with authority figures.  The emphasis on Pluto also gives us more focus and willpower so that we can change destructive behaviors. There is a message here with this full moon aspecting Pluto to let go and come out of the shadows. Issues of trust, betrayal, and jealousy may have some light shed on them during this full moon in Aries because a full moon has a tendency to shed light on previously hidden matters.  Angry feelings could surface during this full moon; let’s face it, Aries is ruled by Mars, the sign of the warrior.  But if we channel this energy productively by becoming more of a spiritual warrior we have a chance at some new beginnings.  Mars in Libra is not in its strongest place, but for some people, it may be a time to learn how to say no and set some boundaries.

We also have a beautiful, flowing trine between Mercury in 19 degrees of Scorpio and Neptune in 16 degrees of Pisces on the full moon.  This aspect is pretty sweet in that it provides heightened imagination, creativity, compassion and sensitivity.  And the frosting on the cake with this aspect is that it actually forms a Grand Water Trine with the north node in 12 degrees of Cancer.  So we definitely have a shot at generating some positive emotions during this full moon in Aries.

Jupiter in Sagittarius is also on the receiving end of some positive aspects during the full moon in Aries.  The Libra sun forms a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 20 degrees of Sagittarius and this aspect will bring feelings of optimism and happiness while attracting good luck.  Spiritual as well as material growth are possible with this aspect in play.  And the full moon in Aries is trining Jupiter in Sagittarius, which further emphasizes the feeling of enthusiasm and imbues us with a desire to share our emotions with others because it inspires generosity.  So it’s a very beneficial influence to have both the sun and moon in positive aspects to Jupiter during a full moon.  We literally get the best of both worlds.

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:
