The month of October is starting off with a bang. On October 1st, we had the first of two full moons in Aries. That’s right folks, October started with a full moon in Aries and it ends on October 31st, Halloween with a full moon in Taurus. Talk about trick or treat.
On October 2, 2020, Venus departs the fixed fire sign of
Leo for the mutable earth sign of Virgo where it stays until October 27, 2020. Venus
is said to be in fall in Virgo, but it can be a relief from the drama that
Venus in Leo tends to bring. Venus in Leo was all about grand gestures and we tended
to show our affection by bestowing our loved ones with expensive gifts. When
Venus is in Virgo, we tend to be more practical, picky and perfectionist. We demonstrate our love by doing things for
others because Virgo is a service oriented sign. Venus in Virgo wants to fix
things and make everything better, so this can be a good time to work on
relationships because we tend to be more focused on our partner’s needs. Just don’t fall into the shadow side of Venus
in Virgo by being too critical or expecting too much perfection from others. It’s
also a great opportunity to get real about our finances because Venus also
rules money. Maybe we will wind up
trying to set up a budget, which can be a scary proposition in these scary
economic times.
The pace continues on October 4th when Pluto stations direct in 22 degrees of Capricorn after being retrograde since April 25th. It joins Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn, who stationed direct on September 12th and September 29th. On September 29th, I tweeted:
Saturn in Capricorn is calling the shots today as it stations direct after a 4 month retrograde. But its square to Mars in Aries still has us experiencing delays, frustrations and obstacles. Try to keep calm as this will pass. #astrology

So now the triumvirate of heavy hitters in Capricorn are at
least all direct. Saturn and Jupiter
will be leaving Capricorn in December for Aquarius but Pluto will remain in
Capricorn until 2023.
What can we expect when Pluto in Capricorn is direct? Now we will have the opportunity to act on what we have learned about power struggles in the last five months. Our deepest desires and secrets emerge now and the time has come to confront the darkest parts of ourselves in order to transform our lives. It won’t be easy, however, especially on October 9th, when Pluto in Capricorn takes a hit via an exact square from retrograde Mars in 22 degrees of Aries. Confrontations and power struggles could definitely be on the agenda, so be careful on that day. Things might get ugly fast.
On October 7, 2020, Mercury in 9 degrees of Scorpio forms an exact opposition with Uranus in Taurus. This aspect is bound to increase the levels of anxiety and nervous tension. There will be a hectic pace that can leave us feeling tense and scattered; it’s really not great energy for any tasks that require concentration. It’s important to listen carefully and keep an open mind on this day, but try not to make any long-term decisions. Abrupt changes are likely to occur and plans could change on a dime. This aspect has a very restless vibe and we are bound to be feeling more anxiety prone.
I confess that I am a little concerned about this aspect because Mercury conjuncts my Saturn in Scorpio in the 1st house but I am trying to look at the positive side because at least Mercury will forming a supportive sextile to my north node in Capricorn in my 3rd house while Uranus in Taurus is trining it. But having Uranus transiting my 7th house is a whole different ball game which is going to continue until May 2022. And be aware that computers and electronics could malfunction big time on this day because we are already in the Mercury retrograde shadow. Speaking of Mercury retrograde, which officially starts on October 13th, we will get to experience this aspect two more times: on October 19th and on November 17th, when Mercury is direct. Uranus will be retrograde until January 14, 2021.
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

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!
