Mercury Enters Libra for an Extended Stay

 


Mercury is about to leave its home sign of Virgo on August 30.  Mercury is usually very happy in Virgo, but it has really been stirring the pot lately.  On the 24th, Mercury was in direct opposition to Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces.  On that day I tweeted:

Mercury will enter the cardinal air sign of Libra on August 30 and it will remain in Libra until November 5.  What is the reason for this extended stay?  We are headed for another Mercury Retrograde on September 27.  Mercury will station retrograde in 25 degrees of Libra on that day and will station direct on October 18 in 10 degrees of Libra.  If you have any planets between 10-25 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn you will bear the brunt of this retrograde. As usual, I am right in the line of fire.  Mercury stations retrograde one degree away from my natal Neptune in the 1st house, two degrees away from my Juno in Libra, and my natal Jupiter, Uranus and Midheaven will be squared by this Mercury Retrograde transit, as will my north node in Capricorn and south node in Cancer.  But you can find some comfort in the knowledge that Pluto still station direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn on October 6, Saturn will station direct in 6 degrees of Aquarius on October 10 and Jupiter in 22 degrees of Aquarius on October 17.  So all is not lost just because Mercury is retrograde. Forward movement is possible with these major players going direct before Mercury does.  We’ll just have to wait a little longer for Neptune and Uranus to get on the train of direct planets.

What can we expect communication to be like when Mercury is in the sign of Libra?  Mercury in Libra is diplomatic and friendly with a more rational approach to relationships.  It literally can be more objective as it weighs the pros and cons of everything.  Remember that image of Libra with the scales.  Mercury in Libra has an innate talent for considering other points of view and is a real smooth talker.  And since Mercury will be in Libra for over two months, it is a perfect opportunity to heal wounds caused by arguments or misunderstandings.  We might find it easier to use tact in reaching a consensus and rebuilding connections with others.

The shadow side of Mercury in Libra is a tendency towards vacillating and people pleasing.  Just don’t waste too much time asking everyone you know what to do or being TOO NICE to people.  Indecisiveness is not appealing and ignoring your own needs to appease others is not productive.  If we are mindful of these potential pitfalls, we should be just fine.

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. I have recently added a new offering to my astrological services menu.  As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days? Check out my latest offering of a Health and Wellbeing Report on my Services Offered page.

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 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:

If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.  Or you can send a contribution using Zelle and my phone number 617-304-2205.


Additionally, I am 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.

Dance of the Phoenix is now on Patreon.  If you have been inspired or informed by my work which is a labor of love, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider contributing any amount that you can afford to support my endeavors.  No amount is too small.  Thank you all for reading my insights, musings and content.

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 no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. At some point, probably in 2022, 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 and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number 617-304-2205. 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 necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. This new Delta strain of the virus is very serious and we need to remain vigilant with our masks, even if we are fully vaccinated.  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!
