Venus in Libra is on the Move and Neptune in Pisces Takes Some Hits

 

Venus has been in the balance-seeking air sign of Libra since September 29 and it has already been quite busy.  On October 9 we had a Full Moon in Aries that opposed Venus in Libra and on that day I tweeted:

Today’s #FullMoon in Aries is opposing Venus in Libra and conjunct Chiron in Aries which can actually help us release old emotional wounds if we have the courage to face them. #astrology

Venus in Libra is trining Saturn in 18 degrees of Aquarius on October 14.  This is actually quite a positive aspect because it lends a steady and sensible approach to relationships.  It affords us the opportunity to share our thoughts and feelings with those we care about. Another perk is that we will probably find it easier to be vulnerable.  I think that is carrying forward the energy of the Full Moon that was conjunct Chiron in Aries and allowed us to feel vulnerable enough to access those wounds.

Venus in Libra makes three more pivotal aspects during the coming week, but before it does, the Sun in Libra is inconjunct Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces on October 15.  This aspect is not nearly as comfortable; we are bound to feel somewhat overwhelmed and sense that we are unable to meet the demands of life.  Low energy is also possible on this day.  Situations can appear hazy and it could be a wake-up call to take off the rose-colored glasses and make some adjustments to accept reality.  

Neptune in Pisces gets another wake-up call on October 17 from Venus in 23 degrees of Libra.  This one is going to require some very difficult emotional adjustments, as we could be experiencing some confusion in love or finances.  There is strong potential for deception in relationships and financial transactions.  Don't forget that Venus is not just about love, beauty and the arts--it has to do with our money.

We get a brief respite on October 18 when Venus in Libra is forming an exact trine to Mars in 23 degrees of Gemini.  This aspect can accelerate our desire for social contact and enjoyment of life.  It also stimulates our creativity and increases our chances of finding the perfect partner.  So hold that date if you are looking for love...

On October 20, Venus in Libra will be forming an exact square with Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn.  This is a tough one, I kid you not.  I have a natal Venus-Pluto square in the signs of Scorpio and Leo, so I have lived with this intensity all of my life.  Power and control issues will surface in relationships, mark my words. Watch out for manipulative behaviors; jealousy, obsession and possessiveness can rear their ugly heads.  Threats and ultimatums are also likely with this aspect, but that doesn't mean that they are the solutions to whatever problems emerge. It's also possible that you could meet someone new that you feel a powerful instant attraction towards, but I wouldn't take it to the bank in terms of the potential for this becoming a healthy, long-lasting relationship.

If you have been feeling like life is a roller coaster, and you don't know what to expect next, the explanation is that we are entering eclipse season.  I will cover the first of the upcoming two eclipses next week, but we are already in the thick of it.  Most of us felt it kick in during the Full Moon in Aries on October 9, but just know that a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25 and a Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on November 8 are going to rock your world and deliver massive changes.  I loved what Anne Ortelee advised in her Weekly Weather on YouTube: either go with the flow or hang on for dear life. She said that either option works.  Personally, I am experiencing an astrological deja vu of the notorious Uranus-Pluto squares that occurred between June 2012 and March 2015.  I think that I did a little bit of both during those Uranus-Pluto squares to come out to the other side. This was a time of serious transformative upheaval that hadn't happened since the Uranus-Pluto squares of 1932-1934.  Obviously I wasn't around back when Uranus was in Aries and Pluto was in Cancer in the 1930's but I know enough history to realize that the world was dealing with the Great Depression, the invention of the atomic bomb and the rise of Adolph Hitler. And I sense that the upcoming eclipses will deliver more upheaval and transformation.  Stay tuned...

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
