The Cardinal Signs Are Calling the Shots as Pluto Stations Direct in Capricorn, A Full Moon in Aries and Mercury Re-Enters Libra

 

We have an intense week coming up, folks.  Mercury went direct on October 2, inspiring me to tweet:

The saving grace aspect of today is Mercury FINALLY stationing direct in Virgo! There is a light at the end of the tunnel with communication and transportation snafus. #astrology

Pluto will be turning around in 26 degrees of Capricorn on October 8.  Pluto has been retrograde since April 29, 2022, when it stationed retrograde in 28 degrees of Capricorn.  Pluto turning direct has a strong theme of transformation.  If you have any planets around 26 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, mark my words that you are going to be encountering major issues pertaining to control and transformation. There could very well be  some major power plays enacted on the world stage.  It's literally going to be a breakdown to a breakthrough!  Once again, I am in the thick of things.  I have my natal Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra in my 1st house, so I am not escaping this by any means.  I also have my natal retrograde Uranus in 27 degrees of Cancer in my 10th house taking a hit.  Is it any wonder that I am an astrologer, psychic and healer with this placement?

Just remember that whenever a planet stations it is in a very powerful position and its effect will be intensified.  So the power planet is stationing direct and we need to be careful...

On October 9, we have a Full Moon in 16 degrees of Aries that will definitely ratch up the emotional intensity level with the effects of the Pluto station still present.  Full Moons tend to be a time of closure, completion and big reveals.  Pluto in Capricorn could be revealing some secrets on this Full Moon. Think back to the New Moon in 11 degrees of Aries on April 1, 2022.  Is anything coming to a cycle of completion for you?  This Full Moon in Aries is also conjunct Chiron in 14 degrees of Aries, indicating that themes of illness, health, healing and old wounds could surface.  Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus is also conjunct the North Node in 15 degrees in Taurus, which could see us dealing with financial turbulence for the next couple of months.  We are headed into eclipse season, with a Solar Eclipse in 2 degrees of Scorpio on October 25 and a Lunar Eclipse on November 8 in 16 degrees of Taurus.  The signs of Taurus and Scorpio are money signs and with the South Node in Scorpio, we are being called to release anything that is toxic.  Watch out for some action with investments, loans and mortgages.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it is renowned for being a warrior, as well as being very assertive and resilient.  Keep this in mind as to where it hits your chart.  It can be a time of releasing old fears and embracing our courage to move ahead because Aries is also a cardinal sign and loves to initiate.   The Sun and Venus in Libra are opposing the Full Moon in Aries, which can have the potential for achieving a peace treaty.  I know, it must be my Neptune in Libra speaking, hoping for the best possible outcome.  The Full Moon in Aries is also forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 18 degrees of Aquarius, which has been very close to an exact square with Uranus in Taurus again (the prevailing aspect of 2021), underscoring the theme of preserving the old versus embracing the new.  So perhaps some constructive action will take place.

What else is happening on this Full Moon?  Mars in Gemini is energizing the mind and all of the information that is circulating, but it is squaring Mercury in 27 degrees of Virgo, so there is a lot of analyzing of this information.  But Mercury in Virgo is also opposing Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces, which cans serve to energize the fog. Never fear, though because Mercury in Virgo is trining Pluto in Capricorn, which will provide the urge to dig deep and research the truth.  We will want to get to the bottom of things.  Don't be surprised if you hear more news about inflation on the Full Moon because Mercury in Virgo is still in opposition to Jupiter in 1 degree of Aries.  That also means the Sun and Venus in Libra are opposing Jupiter in Aries, so that contributes to the theme of excess.  Try to be as objective as possible, which probably is easier said than done.

On October 10, Mercury re-enters Libra until October 29.  The recent Mercury retrograde started on September 9 in 8 degrees of Libra, so we could be going over some old ground. It's true that Mercury rules Virgo (in addition to Gemini) and is comfortable there, although it can be very analytical and critical.  When Mercury is in Libra, we are inclined to be more diplomatic, friendly and willing to compromise. Negotiations tend to run smoothly and we are more rational in our approach to relationships.  The shadow side of  Mercury in Libra is a tendency to vacillate in our decision-making process as are able to see both sides of a given situation.

On October 12, Mars in Gemini is exactly squaring Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces.  This is going to be one of those low energy days that can be accompanied by suspicion, lies, paranoia and scandal.  Gossip is also likely.  The best way to deal with this energy is to mind your own business and try not to tackle any new projects or lash out because the truth isn't clear and our energy levels are low.

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
