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:

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 4th 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 6th and will continue to feel it through the 15th 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?

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:

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.

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!
