Relationships Take the Stage with Venus Squaring Mars and Trining Uranus and the Sun Entering Libra

 

Relationships are taking center stage with a great deal of Venus action and the Sun moving into Libra on September 22.  We start off on September 16 with Venus in Virgo forming an exact square to Mars in 14 degrees of Gemini.  This aspect can increase our sex drive, but if we have experiencing any tensions in our relationships, it can create more difficulties as it tends to exacerbate anger, impulsiveness and a lack of self-control. It can have a rather grumpy vibe.  I know that I will be feeling this aspect because Mars is exactly conjunct my Moon in Gemini in the 8th house.

The Sun in Virgo is also in an exact opposition to Neptune in 24 degrees of Pisces on September 16.  This aspect can manifest in low energy and feelings of vulnerability, insecurity and general discouragement.  We are very susceptible to con artists on this day, so if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So there is no doubt that this will impact relationships.  It will be very easy to get seduced on this day and have nothing to show for it.  The plus side of this aspect is that can bring bursts of creativity and inspiration.  Once again, I am in the line of fire with this action because the Virgo Sun is forming a supportive sextile to my Venus in Scorpio while Neptune is trining it.  But I think I will still need to be careful with finances.  

In case you have been living under a rock, Mercury stationed retrograde on September 9th.  It started out in Libra, which is bound to affect communication in relationships but it enters Virgo on September 23 and stations direct in 24 degrees of Virgo on October 2.   On September 18, retrograde Mercury in Libra will be exactly opposing Jupiter in 4 degrees of Aries.  If this sounds familiar, that is because we previously experienced this aspect on September 2nd.  The characteristics of this aspect are grandiose plans, lack of clarity and a tendency to gloss over details.  This is take two of this aspect and we get to experience it again on October 12 when Mercury is direct and Jupiter is still retrograde in Aries.

On September 20, Venus in Virgo is exactly trining Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus.  I have a natal Venus/Uranus trine involving Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer, so I am very familiar with this energy.  We are going to be craving excitement and something new in our lives on this day.  It tends to stimulate our craving for variety and something different.  However, bear in mind that if you do meet someone new at this time, it might not last due to the nature of Uranus being sudden and brief.

The Fall Equinox occurs on September 22 when the Sun enters Libra.  When the Sun is in the cardinal air sign of Libra, our focus is geared towards relationships as we are more open to compromise and negotiation.  We also tend to be more social and tactful, which is always appreciated.  But there is a shadow side to the Sun in Libra: decision-making is more challenging as Libra is the sign that loves to weigh all of the options and that can take forever.  We can also be more superficial and engage in passive-aggressive behavior.  Don't forget that the Sun is considered to be in Fall in Libra because it has a hard time asserting itself due to its need to define itself through relationships.  The Sun is considered to be exalted in Aries because Aries generally has no problems with self-assertion.

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! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology
