Capricorn has been ruling the
astrological roost lately, what with the sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Ceres, and the Saturn
Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on January 12, 2020, when I tweeted:
Today is the big #SaturnPluto conjunction in Capricorn which features Mercury in Capricorn conjunct both of them. Expect news to impact long reaching transformation. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 12, 2020
But the energy is starting to
lighten up a bit this week. I was
watching astrologer Penny Thornton’s latest YouTube video about the Saturn
Pluto conjunction and it really resonated for me. She spoke about how Saturn is connected to
the past and when Saturn and Pluto are conjunct in Capricorn she commented on
how fear and paranoia are really triggered. She also said that you don’t have to be a
Capricorn to feel the effects of this aspect; everyone has some placements in
the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn so we will all be
feeling it. I have definitely been seeing this in my work with clients lately. The Saturn Pluto conjunction ensures that
changes are coming and resistance is futile, to say the least. We all need to face what needs to be released
from our lives (that’s Pluto’s job and it’s not the most gentle agent of change
and transformation) but it is easier said than done especially when Saturn is
in Capricorn, a sign that loves tradition.
On January 13, 2020, Venus
left the sign of Aquarius and entered Pisces.
On that day I tweeted:
Relationships take on a more compassionate, sensitive and vulnerable vibe today as Venus enters Pisces the sign of its exaltation. Just be mindful of the rose colored glasses as boundaries could get blurred. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) January 13, 2020
I have to admit that I felt
much lighter myself that day and in a much better mood. Nothing really dramatic happened to me on the
day of the Saturn Pluto conjunction; perhaps it was just serving as a release
valve for the tension that had been building since 2020 started and we were
gearing up for a lunar eclipse in Cancer and the Saturn Pluto on January 10th
and January 12th. What a
double whammy this was!
Capricorn is a very dense and
heavy, sign, so I am really happy that we have two planets this week leaving
the sign of Capricorn. Mercury entered
the sign of Aquarius on January 16, 2020.
Mercury will remain in Aquarius until February 3, 2020. But we have an upcoming Mercury retrograde on
February 16, 2020 when Mercury stations retrograde in 12 degrees of Pisces and
it re-enters Aquarius from March 4, 2020 until March 16, 2020. Mercury will station direct on March 9, 2020
in 28 degrees of Aquarius.
Mercury in Aquarius will put a
more cerebral and intellectual spin on communications. After all of the sturm and drang of Mercury
in Capricorn, it will be a relief to be able to have a more detached
perspective on recent events. Mercury in
Aquarius is very future oriented and progressive, which is a marked contrast
from Mercury in Capricorn which is rooted in the past. Communications should be more spontaneous,
offbeat and downright eccentric when Mercury is transiting the sign of
Aquarius. We are hungry for knowledge
and extremely open to new ideas.
Mercury in Aquarius will also
be squaring Uranus in 2 degrees of Taurus on January 18, 2020, which can bring
some sudden insights in a rather abrupt manner.
I have this aspect natally, and I can attest to its benefits in terms of
the amount of insight it bestows upon me which helps to counteract the
distracting and abrupt nature of this aspect.
I have been known to deliver some shocking zingers to people in my
life. Uranus does love to shock. When
Mercury squares Uranus on January 18, 2020, we could experience excitement,
changes to our daily routines and some nervous tension. There could be some mishaps in
communications, so try to avoid making any major decisions.
On January 20, 2020, the sun
enters Aquarius. When the sun is in
Aquarius, we will feel more social because Aquarius is an air sign and is very
group oriented. We should be feeling
more concerned with humanity in general which dovetails quite nicely with the
compassionate vibe of Venus in Pisces.
It is an excellent opportunity to make new friends and enlarge our
social circle.
The sun in Aquarius will be
squaring Uranus in Taurus on January 23, 2020.
This is very restless energy which will be accompanied by anxious
feelings of impending change. Ego is
very strong with this transit, so watch that temper! Try to be as proactive as
possible about positive change and remain flexible.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I have recently revised my menu of services
and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer
you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that
occurred on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you. It’s not too late to purchase this reading
because its effects will be felt for most of 2020. It can be purchased through
my site at:
I have also added a new reading to my menu of services, a
Clues to Compatibility reading, which is designed primarily for non-romantic
relationships and utilizes synastry to determine your connections with friends,
family members and business associates.
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.
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.

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:
