Mars Stations Direct and a Transformative New Moon in Scorpio

 



Happy Friday the 13th! We are actually getting a lucky break on this particular Friday the 13th because Mars is stationing direct in 15 degrees of Aries after it went retrograde on September 9, 2020 in 28 degrees of Aries. The past two months has afforded us the opportunity to realign our energies and get in touch with our desires.  Now that Mars is moving forward in its own sign of Aries where it is strong, we have a green light to move forward and experience some progress in our lives.  

The transit of Mars in Aries has been further complicated by the fact that it was squaring that triumvirate of planets in Capricorn: Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter.  This has contributed to massive frustration with rules, regulations, government and laws that COVID-19 has created.  And now with Mars stationing direct in 15 degrees of Aries, anyone with planets in 15-16 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will slowly start to experience some relief on the frustration front.  I have my Libra ascendant in 16 degrees, so I am all too familiar with the feeling of being stuck and am eagerly anticipating moving full steam ahead.  Just don’t be surprised if feelings of anger, aggression and impulsive urges run rampant when Mars wakes up from its two month nap.  Mars will remain in Aries until January 6, 2021, so make the most of this energy.

We are in the midst of a full-blown Scorpio season.  Not only is the Sun in Scorpio, but a newly direct Mercury re-entered Scorpio on November 10 for the rest of the month.  On that day I tweeted:

The pace is about to get even more intense on November 15 when we have the third Super New Moon in a row in 23 degrees of Scorpio.  A Super Moon occurs when the Moon is very close to the earth.  Scorpio is the most emotionally intense of all the Moon signs, so be prepared for a wild ride.  There is an all or nothing quality about Scorpio, and it is a sign that can be very good or very bad with no in-between territory. A New Moon in Scorpio is bound to reveal some pretty deep secrets that have the power to change our lives.  But we do have the choice to either act like a lower level Scorpio and wreak revenge and chaos, or embrace the Phoenix, the more evolved form of Scorpio that rises above the ashes and transforms itself into a higher being. It’s your call, but I for one am planning on taking the high road.

A New Moon in Scorpio offers us the chance to literally transform whatever area of life it touches in your chart.  I am excited about this New Moon because it falls in my second house of money and values while conjuncting my natal Venus in Scorpio. Hopefully it will bring some clarity about my goals. 

What is the astrological landscape for that day? This New Moon also trines Neptune in 18 degrees of Pisces which should provide us with more compassion and trust in a Higher Power during this chaotic time.  It also forms a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 23 degrees of Capricorn, Pluto in 22 degrees of Capricorn and Saturn in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  These are all very positive influences, which will have a beneficial impact on travel, freedom, structure and empowerment.  The fly in the ointment astrologically is that Venus in Libra is squaring Pluto in Capricorn on that day, which can lead to power struggles, obsession and compulsive behavior playing out in relationships.  Mercury in Scorpio will be opposing Uranus in Taurus on the New Moon, which can lead to some secrets being revealed.  Never forget that Scorpio is the natural detective of the zodiac and it loves to dig deep to reveal the truth.  Mars in Aries and Venus in Libra also in opposition during the New Moon, so there will be a prevailing theme of needing to find a sense of balance.  Don’t be surprised if the Scorpionic intensity of this New Moon feels like a Full Moon.

The political scene in the United States has been quite tumultuous lately and when I was looking at President-Elect Biden’s chart, I noticed that the New Moon in 23 degrees of Scorpio was conjunct his natal Mercury in 21 degrees of Scorpio in his 12th house. I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he had some news to reveal on that day.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com. Just let me know which type of reading you want with your birth date info.  Or you can send a payment to my Venmo account at Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7. 

Recently, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website.  I think that November will be a pivotal month for 2020 and I wanted to share my insights with as many people as possible. 

I have also recently joined Facebook.  I don’t post as frequently as on Twitter, but I am on Facebook now at https://www.facebook.com/linda.simons.75098 

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, 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 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!
