We may need to be mindful of a tendency to be overly optimistic or gloss over important details today with Mercury in Libra squaring Jupiter in Capricorn. Don’t get carried away. #astrology

But we are not getting off quite so easy with the next
square from Mercury in Libra to a Capricorn planet. On September 21st, Mercury in
Libra will be in an exact square to Pluto in 22 degrees of Capricorn. This aspect can lead to compulsive thinking
and a tendency to be obsessed with one idea to the point that we analyze every
little detail. It can be a mentally
stressful time and we may experience difficulty implementing our ideas. Mercury squaring Pluto can be accompanied by
deep thinking and intense interactions with others which can lead to a crisis
or darker experience. We will be feeling
combative and defensive, but we need to guard against arguing for the sake of
arguing. Obsession with negative
thoughts may lead to paranoia and an inability to trust others. It will be hard to separate truth from our
fears due to our compulsive thinking.
And we may find ourselves engaging in power struggles with others
because Pluto loves control.
The sun enters Libra on September 22, 2020 and fall is officially here. The sun in Libra is a time to seek balance and fairness in relationships. We are more inclined to meet others halfway to keep the peace. When the sun is in Libra, we are feeling very social and diplomatic. We are also drawn to the arts and beauty, lest we forget that Libra is ruled by Venus. So we may wind up spending more money when the sun is in Libra. The shadow side of the sun in Libra is a tendency to be indecisive (as in “what do you think I should do?”), to be too nice in order to avoid conflict and not speaking up for ourselves. If you are the least bit codependent, be mindful of the sun in Libra transit.
On the following day, September 23rd, Mercury in Libra squares off with Saturn in 25 degrees of Capricorn. This aspect emphasizes hard mental work that will probably need to be done alone. It is also accompanied by negative thinking and misunderstandings. It is compounded by the fact that Mercury is entering its retrograde shadow on the 23rd, although Mercury retrograde doesn’t officially start until October 13th. We really need to pay attention to details on this day.
Mercury squaring Saturn can also add an edgy vibe, creating a sense of distance in close relationships as people may be feeling sadder or depressed. We may be too critical of others as well because this is Saturn we are dealing with and Saturn can be judgmental. The bottom line is that making any kind of progress under the auspices of this aspect is going to be very challenging. Just remember that this is temporary.
Anyone who has planets in 17-29 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel the effects of these Mercury squares. It’s not just Libra and Capricorn who are taking the hit. I have a cardinal T-square in my chart involving my Neptune and Juno in Libra, Chiron in Capricorn and midheaven, Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer so I am right in the line of fire.
If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much needed clarity and guidance. Check out my menu of services at:

I am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, Skype or Zoom. 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:
https://phoenixscorpio.blogspot.com/p/services-offered.html
A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice.
I am also available for tarot readings by telephone. 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. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50
which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me
to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are
concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my
in-person Reiki sessions until further notice in order to practice social
distancing. When I return to my Brookline office I will be practicing Reiki
with a mask, gloves, and medical exam sheets for your protection. I will also have hand sanitizer and
disinfectant wipes available. In the meantime, a distant Reiki session is the
perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have
contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your
home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client 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 do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom
consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. 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. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a
sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo for payment. I have also written an article about distance
Reiki, which is available 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:

I
urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the
protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social
distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when
going outside your home and staying home if you are sick. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I
speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have
survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
