Libra season may have just begun, but the month of October
promises a strong infusion of Scorpio energy. On October 3, 2019, Pluto stationed direct in
20 degrees of Capricorn after having been retrograde since April 24, 2019. It is common knowledge that when a planet is
in a stationary position, either getting ready to go retrograde or direct, its
influence is especially powerful. And
let’s face it, Pluto is the planet that pertains to transformation and rules
Scorpio to boot. Pluto is also about
power, and after having spent five months reflecting on our deepest desires and
needs, Pluto stationing direct is a green light from the universe to reclaim
our power in whatever area of life Pluto was retrograde and holding us back. It’s high time for some deep emotional release
as we confront the darkest parts of ourselves and others. On October 3rd, I tweeted:
Mercury also entered Scorpio on October 3, 2019 for an extended stay until December 9, 2019 courtesy of the upcoming Mercury Retrograde which officially starts on Halloween and ends on November 20, 2019. Mercury in Scorpio is one tough cookie. Communications are bound to be more probing and intense because when Mercury in Scorpio the inner detective has free reign in terms of seeking out hidden truths. Profound thoughts will emerge and our thinking will be more focused and downright obsessive. And don’t forget the sharp and stinging language that Mercury in Scorpio is notorious for. Or as I have often described my own Mercury in Scorpio, it’s like a mouth that should be registered as a lethal weapon. I reflected on Mercury’s extended stay in Scorpio in my tweet of October 3, 2019:It’s a big day astrologically with Pluto stationing direct after 5 months retrograde. We can finally feel as if we can start acting on transforming our deepest desires into reality after all this reflection. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 3, 2019
We have a couple of other events occurring before Venus enters Scorpio on October 8, 2019. Mars enters Libra on October 4, 2019 where it stays until November 19, 2019. Mars in Libra is much more subdued and assertiveness is weakened. Mars rules Aries, so it is definitely not in peak form in the sign of Libra. It is literally considered to be in detriment when Mars is in Libra or Taurus because they are challenging signs for the action oriented planet to be transiting. Vacillation is a key theme for Mars in Libra because we are able to see many different sides of an issue, which can lead to bouts of indecision. And then there is the people pleasing side of Libra that hates to offend anyone. Indirectness is a trademark feature of this transit and the shadow side of Mars in Libra is the tendency towards passive-aggressiveness. But the good news is that since it takes Mars two years to complete a cycle, we only have to deal with this every two years.Communications are about to get a lot more probing and intense today as Mercury enters Scorpio until December 9th due to the upcoming #MercuryRetrograde. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 3, 2019
On October 6, 2018, Mercury in Scorpio will be opposing retrograde
Uranus in 5 degrees of Taurus. Our
thinking processes will be speeded up and we may experience some temporary tension
and anxiety. There is the potential for
some flashes of genius to occur, but I wouldn’t recommend making any major
decisions based on them. Computers and
electronics could malfunction as well.
The best way to deal with this energy is to literally go with the flow.
On October 8, 2019, Venus enters Scorpio until November 1,
2019. Venus is in detriment in Scorpio,
so between Mars in Libra and Venus in Scorpio in signs of detriment,
relationships will feel like a roller coaster ride. Venus in Scorpio can bring feelings of
jealousy, obsessiveness and power struggles.
I have a natal Venus in Scorpio and I can attest to the fact that it is
very emotional, intense and passionate.
When Venus is transiting Scorpio, our fears of being vulnerable or
surrendering our power to others are heightened. The bottom line with Venus in Scorpio is that
relationships feel like they are all or nothing. That is the nature of the beast that is
Scorpio, a sign of extremes. With Mercury also in Scorpio and Pluto, the ruler
of Scorpio, now direct and operating at full throttle in Capricorn, we are all
going to be feeling the intensity of this Scorpio energy long before the sun
enters Scorpio on October 23, 2019. Hang
on, it could be a very wild ride…

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.

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.

was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local

my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:
