Scorpio Season Heats Up as Mars Enters Scorpio and a New Moon in Scorpio

 

Scorpio season is here and about to become even more intense.  The Sun entered Scorpio on October 23 inspiring me to tweet:

Prepare for a month of emotional intensity as the Sun enters Scorpio today and we find the courage to deal with our deepest fears, reveal our secrets and transform our lives. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 23, 2021

But on October 30, the energy really ramps ups due to the Sun in Scorpio forming an exact square to Saturn in 7 degrees of Aquarius and Mars entering Scorpio until December 13, 2021. The square aspect occurs at 5:53 a.m., so most of us will be asleep when it is exact.  But the effects could spill into our morning.  Don’t be surprised if you wake up feeling pessimistic, depressed or just plain isolated.  It can also make us feel tired and overcome with responsibilities.  When Saturn connects with the Sun it has a way of draining our energy.  Try to realize that this aspect is a major test of character and that the best way to survive it is to exercise patience and determination, despite the fact that our goals might seem insurmountable.  Do what you can to take care of business, but if you need extra rest, by all means give yourself permission to do so.  Our self-confidence will return when we have made some effort. 

Mars is the planet associated with anger, aggression and passion.  It enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio at 10:21 a.m. on October 30.  Mars is a very happy camper in Scorpio because Mars rules Aries and Scorpio.  Mars was considered to be the sole ruler of Scorpio until Pluto was discovered in 1930.  Mars in Scorpio is very competitive and focused like a laser.  Scorpio also pertains to debts, other people’s money, sexuality, private matters and secrets that you could be ashamed of.  When Mars is in Scorpio it can trigger self-loathing and shame over finances or relationships, but it can also give you the strength to fight for yourself.  Mars is the planet that motivates us and fuels our desires, and when it is in the sign of Scorpio, it’s a perfect time to reclaim our power.  If you have been feeling at all victimized lately, Mars in Scorpio will help you to express your needs and shed that martyr persona.  It’s an energizing jolt of energy that we all need right now.  Mars was not very comfortable in the sign of Libra, and it formed some very challenging aspects, especially with Pluto in Capricorn.  It’s time to bid farewell to that passive-aggressive vibe that Mars in Libra is renowned for.  The shadow side of Mars in Scorpio is that it can be vengeful in its actions if you cross it.  Just be mindful of that fact and this can be a very productive and powerful transit.

On November 4, we have a New Moon in 12 degrees of Scorpio.  The themes that will be prevalent on this New Moon in Scorpio include intensity, passion, vengeance, and an extreme all or nothing vibe.  Angry words are possible on this New Moon because Mercury in late Libra and Mars in 4 degrees of Scorpio are squaring Saturn in 7 degrees of Aquarius.  It will be time to deal with some harsh realities and upsets are bound to happen.   The New Moon is also in direct opposition to Uranus in 12 degrees of Taurus, which can bring shocks, upsets, unexpected events and revelations.  We could also experience technology going haywire again with the opposition to Uranus in Taurus, as well as some weather-related shocks and economic upheavals. The past three New Moons (August, September and October in the signs of Leo, Virgo and Libra) have all aspected Uranus in Taurus, which only serves to underscore the prevailing aspect of 2021: Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus.  We had the first Saturn-Uranus square on February 17^th in 7 degrees, the second one occurred on June 14 in 13 degrees and the final one happens on December 24, 2021 in 11 degrees.

As a Scorpio, I have a vested interest in this New Moon because if I play my cards right and set some intentions for a brand new lifestyle, I can reap the benefits of some major changes.  Of course, there are other factors affecting me profoundly.  For starters, this New Moon is conjunct my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1^st house of self.  I guess I just can’t escape the effects of the Saturn-Uranus square!  The New Moon in Scorpio is also forming a supportive sextile to my North Node in Capricorn in my 3^rd house, so it’s time for me to move forward on my soul’s path.  But the New Moon is also squaring my natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4^th house, so I suspect that there will be some frustration and possible blockages in terms of moving forward.  I just want to close with urging all of you to set some new intentions on this New Moon because it is powerful and can pack quite a punch in terms of achieving a sense of personal power because Mars in Scorpio is widely conjunct the New Moon.  Don’t discount the power of Mars; it’s definitely going to have a profound impact.

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?

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were 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. But 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

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. If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. The 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!  

Mars and Pluto Face Off with a Square and the Sun Enters Scorpio

Scorpio season is about to commence on October 23, but we get a little preview of that Scorpio energy on October 22 when the ruling planets of Scorpio, Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn, form an exact square in 24 degrees of their respective signs. 

What does Mars squaring Pluto feel like?  It is very powerful and aggressive energy that can bring out our anger and desire to gain control over others or situations.  It’s got a very motivational vibe.  Disagreements are bound to crop up, but it does represent an opportunity to release tension and make changes.  It can also manifest as our enemies appearing to be stronger.  The trick to surviving and thriving with this aspect is to NOT try too hard to be in control because that can definitely backfire on us.  We need to be mindful of the fact that change is inevitable but we don’t have to alienate everyone in the process. I know, it’s easier said than done…

On October 23, the Sun enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio.  Whoever coined the phrase “Still waters run deep” must have either been a Scorpio or known one.  I confess that I love this time of year because I am a November Scorpio.  When the Sun is in Scorpio, nothing is superficial or light.  I recently had a personal astrology consultation and my astrologer told me flat out that Scorpios don’t do fluff!  Truer words were never spoken!

The Sun transiting the sign of Scorpio denotes a time to dig up what is buried and bring it to the surface for transformation, which is Scorpio’s credo for living. It’s time to face our fears and demons but we will have the emotional courage and tenacity to do it.  Depth, intimacy and extremes of feeling run rampant while the Sun is in Scorpio. We are headed for a time when we will be feeling provocative, passionate, and strong-willed with a heaping dose of major intensity.  There is definitely a shadow side to Scorpio and it entails jealousy, resentment, vindictiveness and manipulation.  Believe me, you don’t want to get on the bad side of a Scorpio, because those stingers can hurt.  Scorpio is an incredibly loyal friend, but it is also the most dangerous enemy in the world because a Scorpio doesn’t forget or forgive easily.

If this energy sounds too heavy for you to bear, rejoice in the knowledge that the two Greater Benefic Planets (Venus and Jupiter) are joining in a supportive sextile on October 28.  Relief is in sight! Venus in 22 degrees of Sagittarius is forming an exact sextile to Jupiter in 22 degrees of Aquarius; this aspect will ease the tensions that have been building recently and create a party vibe that inspires us to feel happier and share our good feelings with others.  Sagittarius and Aquarius are very social, extroverted signs, so make the most of this feel-good transit.  Don’t be afraid to reach out and get in touch with people.

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.

Mercury and Jupiter Station Direct and an Action-Packed Full Moon in Aries

 

Save the day of October 18 because two more planets will be leaving the retrograde posse that has been our way of life since late April.  Pluto stationed direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn on October 6 and Saturn stationed direct in 6 degrees of Aquarius on October 10.  On that day I tweeted:

Saturn stations direct in Aquarius today after over 4 months retrograde. We can start applying the lessons we learned in that time to move forward with our plans for the future. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 10, 2021

I think that it is a pretty safe bet to say that most people will be absolutely ecstatic when Mercury stations direct in 10 degrees of Libra on October 18.  Mercury has been officially retrograde since September 26, but many of us felt its influence since it entered its retrograde shadow period on the 7^th of September.  I can personally attest to the fact that it has been a grueling Mercury retrograde, where everything that could go wrong did. Retrograde Mercury in Libra did no favors to relationships. Communication, transportation and our electronic devices should start to see major improvements now.  Mercury leaves its retrograde shadow on November 2, but at least now there is light at the end of the tunnel. And there is hope that we will be better equipped to get on the same page on the many issues that are dividing us.

Speaking of hope, we also have Jupiter stationing direct in 22 degrees of Aquarius on October 18.  Jupiter has been retrograde since June 20, when it stationed retrograde in 2 degrees of Pisces.  If you are missing that Jupiter in Pisces vibe, don’t fret because Jupiter will re-enter Pisces on December 28, 2021.  With Jupiter being direct, we can look forward to growth, expansion and more freedom.  This will be a very happy day, made even more so by the fact that Mars in Libra will also be trining Jupiter in Aquarius.  Feel free to act on your intentions to make your dreams come true on this day.

On October 20, we have a Full Moon in 27 degrees of Aries.  The Full Moon in Aries is frequently referred to as the Harvest Moon and this one will be ending a cycle that began on the New Moon in Aries of April 11 in 22 degrees of Aries.  Try to remember if you started anything new back in April and if so, you should be ready to complete that endeavor now and reap your own personal harvest.  The Full Moon in Aries is squaring Pluto in Capricorn, which can contribute to a sense of rebirth as we feel that things are coming together. The Moon is also opposing Mars in Libra, so it ups the energy level but can make us prone to heightened emotions and outbursts.  There is a great deal of cardinal energy involved with this Full Moon, as the Sun, Mars, Mercury and Mars are in Libra, the Moon is in Aries and Pluto is in Capricorn.  This all adds up to action and let’s face it, cardinal signs love to initiate action.  The Sun in Libra is also trining Jupiter in Aquarius, which adds to the theme of expanding your visions for the future.  The Moon in Aries is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter, which is extremely beneficial. I wouldn’t be the least surprised if there were some serious economic implications globally as a result of this Full Moon.  I was watching Pam Gregory earlier this week and I loved what she had to say about putting your energy into what you want to create for the future, and not wasting it by pouring your energy into life support of the old system.

There will definitely be combative energy with this Full Moon because Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars is in opposition to the Moon.  Don’t count Pluto in Capricorn out of the Full Moon equation either because it is squaring the Full Moon, so we could see some elimination of old structures accompanied by intense protests, upsets and extreme emotions. Obviously, anyone with planets in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel this Full Moon more intensely.  There goes my cardinal T-Square involving my Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra, Uranus in 27 degrees of Cancer, Jupiter in 29 degrees of Cancer and Chiron in 24 degrees of Capricorn.  The only cardinal energy I don’t have in my chart is Aries, and this Full Moon in Aries will be very busy triggering my cardinal placements.  I might be in line for some kind of epiphany, especially with its opposition to my natal Neptune in Libra.

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.

Mars and Mercury Heat Up in Libra and Saturn Stations Direct in Aquarius

 

As promised, the month of October is bringing a great deal of planetary action to the table.  Pluto stationed direct on October 6 with the New Moon in Libra and the New Moon conjuncted Mars in Libra as well.  On that day I tweeted:

We have an extremely powerful #NewMoon in Libra today that conjuncts Mars adding an adrenaline boost of energy to launch some action plans and plant the seeds for a fresh start. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 6, 2021

But Mars in Libra is by no means done being proactive.  On October 8, the Sun and Mars are exactly conjunct in 15 degrees of Libra.  How does this play out?  This is a very energizing vibe but it is also impulsive and headstrong.  It favors taking action and doing things.  So if you didn’t plant some seeds on the New Moon of October 6, you still have a chance to do so now.  This aspect is one degree away from my Libra Ascendant, so I am sure I will be pretty active.4

On the following day, October 9, the Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 16 degrees of Libra.  Look for a strong urge to get your message across to others.  It is also common with this aspect for people to think their opinions are right, but it can be challenging energy.  It’s definitely forward motion, but it can feel pretty intense.  Just giving you a heads up…

Saturn finally stations direct in 6 degrees of Aquarius on October 10.  Saturn has been retrograde since May 23, when it stationed retrograde in 13 degrees of Aquarius.  Back then it was one degree away from my natal Mars in Aquarius in my 4^th house.  When Saturn was retrograde, it brought even more limitations, restrictions, anxiety and fear.  Saturn is also about responsibility, so we probably had plenty of time to get in touch with those areas of life where we need to act responsibly.  Saturn moving in direct motion supports the process of shedding things that are no longer working for us in the real world.  It serves as a reality check and asks us how willing we are to work for our goals.  The time has come to build a solid foundation in whatever area of life Saturn is transiting.  Saturn has a bad rep as the harsh taskmaster, but it also teaches us and rewards us for our hard work.  We just have to accept the fact that as a teacher, tests are going to be part of the deal. As I have mentioned previously, whenever a planet stations retrograde or direct, its power is magnified for about five days before and after the date of the actual station.  So many of you probably felts its influence on the New Moon in Libra on the 6^th and will continue to feel it through the 15^th of October.  Saturn will be in 11 degrees of Aquarius by the end of 2021 and will be back in 13 degrees of Aquarius in mid-January 2022, so expect some of the issues you were dealing with in May to resurface.

We have one more aspect of importance on October 10.  Venus in Sagittarius is exactly conjunct the South Node in 2 degrees of Sagittarius.  Venus moved into Sagittarius on October 7.  Since the South Node pertains to the past, this aspect has a strong theme of release.  If you have been putting up with something that no longer serves your highest good this is a good day to ask someone for what you need.  Venus in Sagittarius makes it more probable that someone will be more willing to accommodate your request because Venus in Sagittarius is in mutable fire and less controlling than the fixed water sign of Venus in Scorpio.  I can say this in all fairness and honesty because I have Venus in Scorpio. And whenever the South Node is involved, there can be health issues cropping up, so be sure to get any symptoms checked out pronto.  I will never forget that in July 2011 there was a Solar Eclipse in Cancer that was conjunct my South Node and I was worried.  Sure enough, three months later I hurt my back and suffered a painful case of sciatica with a bulging disc.  I am sure it was karmic and I couldn’t have prevented it, but I did take immediate action to relieve my pain and it led me to acupuncture.

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?

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. If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. The 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!  

A Powerful New Moon in Libra Features Pluto Stationing Direct and Venus Enters Sagittarius

 

The month of October is starting off with quite the bang.  We will be experiencing the second of three exact squares between Mercury in Libra and Pluto in 24 degrees of Capricorn.  The first one occurred on September 22, when I tweeted:

Communication could get turbulent today with Mercury in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn and the Aries Moon opposing Mercury. Power struggles and sharp words are likely manifestations of this energy. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 22, 2021

Mercury and Pluto are both retrograde on October 1 and this aspect will happen again on November 2 when both planets are direct.

The big news of the coming week is the powerful New Moon in 13 degrees of Libra on October 6.  Pluto is also stationing direct in 24 degrees of Capricorn after having been retrograde since April 27.  Pluto direct will bring about changes and transformation in government, power, and justice that have felt like they were on pause since last spring.  We are definitely purging the past. In terms of the past, I was particularly moved by astrologer Pam Gregory’s comment in her latest video on the New Moon in Libra that we should not be investing any life support energy to the structures of the past. I confess that I have been gripped with bouts of nostalgia for the “good old days” pre-COVID but they are not returning.   It’s time to accept that and move on.

The New Moon in Libra is also conjunct Mars in 13 degrees of Libra.  This adds to the energy levels and is a strong motivating factor for us to seek out justice.  But I would not recommend taking any major risks on this New Moon with Mars involved because Uranus in 13 degrees of Taurus is inconjunct the Sun, Moon and Mars in Libra which can spell accidents if we are not careful.  Uranus has a way of bringing radical and unexpected changes.  Surprises can abound and it is highly likely that truths will be revealed that are quite shocking. Mercury in Libra is also inconjunct Neptune in Pisces, so the media could be having a field day with juicy stories.

New Moons are a time to set new intentions and with this one being in Libra, we should be focusing on relationships, harmony and justice.  Chiron in 10 degrees of Aries also features prominently in this New Moon because it opposes the Sun, Moon and Mars in Libra.  Chiron in Aries wants to take action to fix things because it is a cardinal fire sign and that is what it likes to do.  Cardinal signs love to initiate action.  But Chiron involves healing old wounds, which isn’t always easy.  Chiron could heal others but he had to learn how to live with his limitations.  I suspect that it something we have all had to deal with on some level during this pandemic.  I have my natal Chiron in 24 degrees of Capricorn in my 4^th house so the ongoing Mercury-Pluto square has had a major impact on me.  I also watch Penny Thornton’s astrology videos and was quite inspired by what she had to say about converting our pain into power and becoming more empowered by difficult circumstances.  This is particularly appropriate with Pluto stationing direct on the New Moon.

Venus moves into the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius on October 7, where it stays until November 5.  Venus in Scorpio was quite intense but it did give us the cosmic gift of trining Neptune in Pisces on September 29, inspiring me to tweet:

Venus in Scorpio trining Neptune in Pisces today is a favorable influence for creativity,empathy and compassion. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 29, 2021

Venus transiting the sign of Sagittarius is a whole different ball game.  The intensity level in love will go down a bit, but we will feel more buoyant and optimistic as we seek out truth and higher meaning.  Honesty is very important when Venus is in Sagittarius, so feel free to lay out all of your cards on the table.  We will also be feeling more spontaneous, wanting to live life to the fullest and try out new experiences as it is easier for us to be more sociable and outgoing.  Venus in Sagittarius can also be blunt with its fiery enthusiasm.  But it’s not as calculated or malicious as Venus in Scorpio can be, so enjoy the blast of fire energy.
