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. 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. 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

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!
