A Relatively Quiet Week as Mercury Spars with Jupiter and Venus Enters Virgo

 Mercury Opposite Jupiter Natal and Transit: Great Perspectives

Venus in Virgo – Karma-Free Astrology

Surprise, surprise, the first week of September is relatively quiet astrologically.  It began on an extremely positive note on September 1 when Mars in Gemini formed a supportive sextile to Jupiter in Aries imbuing us with a boatload of energy and a sense of luck.

On September 2 Mercury in Libra is in an exact opposition to Jupiter in 6 degrees of Aries.  We all know that Jupiter loves to do things in an expansive way.  This aspect is bound to bring big ideas and grandiose plans with a sense of optimism for the future.  Sounds pretty good, right?  Just be mindful of the fact that we could have a tendency to gloss over the details.  And by all means, be careful what you say.  Mercury in Libra (which is slowing down for its retrograde station on September 9) loves to talk but Jupiter in Aries has no boundaries, and therein lies the rub.  It will be incredibly easy to shoot off our mouths and come across as opinionated and overbearing.  This could make it difficult to find solutions that work for all parties as we are challenged to be realistic in terms of what we are promising others.  There is definitely a sky is the limit vibe with this aspect.  Mercury is stationing retrograde in Libra on the 9th (more on this in next week's post) but it will be re-entering Virgo on the 23rd and we could be facing some heavy analysis of whatever promises we made during the Mercury-Jupiter opposition.  And don't forget that Jupiter is retrograde until November 23, 2022.  Not to mention that Jupiter makes one last trip into Pisces on October 28 until it moves back into Aries on December 20, 2022.

Venus is departing the dramatic, fun-loving and flamboyant fire sign of Leo on September 5 to move into the mutable earth sign of Virgo until September 29.  Venus is actually considered to be in fall in Virgo because it is exalted in Pisces and is a very happy camper in Taurus and Libra, which it rules. When Venus is in Virgo, there is a more serious vibe to relationships. Venus in Virgo is not a time for casual flings, unlike when Venus was in Leo. Venus in Virgo is far more practical and grounded.  This can be a good influence for our finances, though as Venus also pertains to money. Virgo is a sign associated with healing and service to others, so we tend to demonstrate our love by doing things for others and taking care of them.  Virgo also has to do with over-analysis and perfectionism.  The shadow side of Venus in Virgo is a tendency to be overly critical of our partners or to be picky and demanding. Just remember that if you don't particularly enjoy the more practical side of Venus in Virgo, it will be ending the month in Libra, where it is positively ecstatic.

I will cover the Mercury retrograde in greater detail in next week's post, but keep in mind that Mercury is slowing down and actually entered its retrograde shadow on August 20 when Mars entered Gemini.  I don't know about you, but I am already experiencing the Mercury retrograde effects with scheduling snafus and electronic breakdowns.  

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. 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 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 As a direct result of the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on March 13, I introduced a new one-question tarot reading. These can be done by phone or video.

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

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. 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!
