A Super Full Moon in Virgo and Mercury Stations Direct



Save the date of March 9, 2020.  It’s a very big day astrologically.  For starters, we have a super full moon in 19 degrees of Virgo.  It’s called a super full moon because it is so close to the earth that it is extremely bright and visible as it rises above the horizon.  The moon will be at perigee, meaning that it appears brighter and about 7% larger than a typical full moon.  But the piece de resistance is the second major astrological event of the day: Mercury stationing direct in 28 degrees of Aquarius at 11:49 p.m.  Time for a drum roll and a collective sigh of relief!

This is an extremely complicated full moon.  It is opposing Neptune in 18 degrees of Pisces, which also means that Neptune is conjunct the sun in Pisces. The sun in Pisces conjuncts its ruling planet Neptune emits a dreamy, intuitive, and visionary vibe.  But there is also the potential for deception and things that are hard to pin down because of its elusive quality.  The fact that the full moon is in the sign of Virgo emphasizes the theme of health concerns and right now the coronavirus is definitely playing into that theme.  In medical astrology, Neptune is related to the immune system and the coronavirus outbreak is a perfect example of that. Neptune has a strong association with viruses.

A full moon in Virgo is also about service to others, since Virgo rules the 6th house.  The full moon opposing Neptune in Pisces cautions us to beware of self-deception.  Virgo is renowned for seeking perfection, worrying and being very efficient.  This full moon may feel very empowering for Virgos, but the rest of us may find ourselves needing to let go of unrealistic standards of perfection and dreams that are not practical.  I confess that this is not one of my favorite full moons: it falls in my 12th house and squares my natal moon in Gemini in my 8th house. The full moon in Virgo tends to make me feel out of control and powerless, especially with it transiting my 12th house.  I acknowledge that it can be a very spiritual time, but it requires having faith in the unknown which isn’t always easy. There is a reason that the 12th house is associated with surrender to a higher power.

This full moon does have some positive aspects going for it though. It trines Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn.  These trines provide us with the energy to declutter our thinking and work towards making our dreams a reality.  It’s really potent energy for manifestation, so don’t waste it. Emotional transformation is possible if we are open to going with the flow of the changing times.

Mercury stationing direct on the day of a full moon gives us an additional edge.  Whenever a planet is stationary, either direct or retrograde, its power and energy are intensified.  Mercury stationary direct on the day of a full moon can make us feel as if we are telepathic in terms of connecting with others. Mercury stationing direct may also lead to greater visionary insights.  Dreams could be especially vivid around the time of this full moon and they may offer us a more detached perspective on whatever issues are troubling us.

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. Additionally, I have also decided to offer private astrology lessons in person or by telephone.  Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.

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.  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:
