The Sun Enters Libra for a New Season and Mercury Trines Jupiter

 

The Sun is going to be entering the cardinal air sign of Libra on September 23.  It is the Fall Equinox, marking the start of the Fall season.  The Sun is not the most comfortable in Libra, and is considered to be in fall (no pun intended) because it is exalted in Aries, its opposite sign. The Sun represents our ego and life force, and when the Sun is in Libra, our focus is on finding balance and harmony in relationships.  We are not driven to achieve our own goals so much with the Sun in Libra. On the plus side, we are more tactful, tolerant and sociable.  It is also a good time to appreciate the arts and beauty.  Some of us might be going to museums, the theater and engaging in some shopping too.  We want to work out issues in relationships, but we need to be mindful of the tendency to people please and bend over backwards while ignoring our own needs.  There is a shadow side to the Sun in Libra: we can be more indecisive because we are able to see both sides of situations and we might be inclined towards passive-aggressive behavior, which is another Libra tendency.  

On September 24, the Sun in Libra will be forming an irritating inconjunct with Saturn in 1 degree of Pisces.  This aspect always requires us to make some kind of adjustment because the planets are in signs that are just not on the same page.  The Sun inconjunct Saturn is bound to see us torn between what we want to do and our responsibilities. If we aren't careful, we could be acting out in destructive behaviors and issues with addiction could also surface.  The main issues are a desire for freedom and the restrictions in our lives. Tension will be prevalent and we need to find some compromise. I am sure that I will be feeling this aspect acutely because the Sun will be in my 12th house and Saturn is in my 5th house, which is where we want to have fun and experience joy.

 

On the same day, Mars in Libra is opposing Chiron in 18 degrees of Aries.  This could add to the discomfort level of September 24 because there will be conflict between our assertive needs and healing old emotional wounds. I anticipate that relationships could be a little rocky but the potential exists to clear the air. Sometimes a little discomfort is necessary in order for healing to occur.

On September 25, we have a truly delightful aspect with Mercury in Virgo trining Jupiter in 14 degrees of Taurus.  We can be hearing good news and experiencing more optimism, harmony and serenity.  This is a very future oriented aspect, so feel free to make plans as we will have more insight available to us.  It is also very favorable for travel and legal matters, so make the most of this day.  It is the perfect way to start the week.  Mercury will be in my 11th house and Jupiter in my 7th house, so I am psyched about it.

We do have a Full Moon in Aries coming up on September 29, but stay tuned to next week's post for more details on that event.

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, 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 also wanted to note that in an ironic twist of fate, the latest variant of COVID is EG.5, with a nickname of Eris.  Sound familiar--the Goddess of Discord?  Apparently, COVID cases and hospitalizations are on the rise...

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, 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 twice. 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
