Venus and Mercury Move into Libra


 

Venus and Mercury will be entering the sign of Libra on October 27, 2020 within eight minutes of each other. Mercury is first and since it is currently retrograde (how could we forget?) it will be moving from Scorpio into Libra.  Venus is direct and will be moving from Virgo into Libra, where it is in its happy place, since Libra is one of the two signs (Taurus being the other) that Venus rules.

But before either of these personal planets left their respective signs they managed to deliver some potent aspects.  On October 19, 2020, Mercury in 10 degrees of Scorpio opposed Uranus in 10 degrees of Taurus.  It was definitely my bad that I neglected to mention this on Twitter. I experienced the full force of this aspect on the 19th when a client emailed me that she couldn’t order a reading from my site.  I tried too and wound up unable to get through to PayPal and Blogger.com has not responded to my inquiries.  So I have revised my Services Offered to reflect this problem and request that clients send their payment to my email via PayPal.  My PayPal account is working just fine.  I also tweeted on that day:

Perhaps I just need to enter new Buy Now buttons, but I think I will just wait until Mercury is direct before I attempt that.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com.  It looks like I am living proof of Mercury Retrograde opposing Uranus and the technological havoc it can wreak.

 Mercury will not remain in Libra for very long; it will re-enter the sign of Scorpio on November 10, 2020 and stay in Scorpio until December 1, 2020.  Mercury was previously in the sign of Libra from September 5, 2020 through September 27, 2020.  When Mercury is in the sign of Libra, people tend to be more diplomatic and friendly and we have a more rational approach to relationships.  It’s a time when we find it easier to consider other points of view as we seek justice and fairness.  We should probably reflect on what was going on in our lives during that last week of September before Mercury stations direct in 25 degrees of Libra on November 3, 2020.  This could be a time when we are able to balance the scales of justice and fairness.

Before Venus departs the sign of Virgo for greener pastures in Libra, it trines Saturn in 25 degrees of Capricorn on October 24, 2020.  This will be a stabilizing influence and is extremely favorable for commitments and long-term investments. 

Venus will be in Libra until November 21, 2020.  When Venus is transiting the sign of Libra, we are more likely to be charming and kind as opposed to being aggressive.  We also tend to be more idealistic about love as we seek balance in our relationships.  Venus in Libra is a very favorable influence for personal and balance partnerships, art, beauty and justice.  As a matter of fact, beauty and comfort are paramount to us during this transit and the arts can provide a soothing balm for us. But the flip side is that we could also wind up spending too much money on luxury items, which we will crave more than usual. 

Venus in Libra has a shadow side that we need to be mindful of.  We may become inclined to dependency (to the point of codependency in our quest to please others) and we are also inclined to be inconsistent, indecisive and superficial. But Venus in Libra has a softer and gentler side that we need to appreciate. 

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:

A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice. If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.

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. I recently learned that I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. When it becomes clearer that the virus no longer poses a threat, I will find a new space to practice. 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!
