A Strong Theme of Relationships Prevails with a Solar Eclipse in Libra

We are edging into the last eclipse of this season and I know that many of you are feeling it already.  We already had the Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Virgo on September 17 and we are facing a Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Libra on October 2.

Before we experience the Solar Eclipse, we actually have a couple of delightful aspects coming our way.  On September 30, Mars in Cancer is trining Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces.  It is such a relief to see these two planets getting along. I have a natal Mars-Saturn square, and I know firsthand how contentious and frustrating it can be.  It can feel like you just can't make any progress when Mars and Saturn are in challenging aspects, like a square, opposition or inconjunct. This aspect will give us strength, ambition and perseverance to tackle those difficult tasks we are facing and succeed. This is truly a day when patience and self-discipline will pay off.  

The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 7 degrees of Libra on September 30 too.  This aspect blesses us with mental alertness, quick thinking and adaptability.  We are in the mood to share ideas, meet new people and schedule appointments.  It's definitely a good idea to put your thinking cap on and expect positive results.

The Sun and Moon are conjunct in 10 degrees of Libra at 2:49 p.m. on October 2 for the Solar Eclipse.  It is a South Node eclipse, which means that we are moving away from the past.  For some people, relationships could be ending or we could find ourselves needing to release a situation so that we can enter a new phase in our lives.  This Solar Eclipse in Libra will focus on big changes in relationships and developing more of a sense of balance in existing relationships.  The sign of Libra is also associated with the law (the scales of balance), so it's possible that important legal cases could be in the news.  While we had a Solar Eclipse in Libra last year in 21 degrees on October 14, we actually had one in exactly 10 degrees of Libra on October 3, 2005.  I encourage anyone old enough to remember whatever issues you were facing back then and see if any of them come up again this time.

The planet Venus rules Libra and Venus in 11 degrees of Scorpio will be forming a grand water trine with Mars in 15 degrees of Cancer and Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces.  This only reinforces the importance of relationships during this eclipse.  Venus and Mars are associated with love and desire, while Saturn pertains to structures and boundaries.  So there is no way that relationships are not going to be affected by this eclipse. A grand water trine can be very beneficial, but prepare yourself for a big day of the feels as emotions are heightened.

I can tell you that anyone who has planets or points (like Ascendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) between 5-15 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will definitely be feeling the effects of this Solar Eclipse on their relationships.  This Solar Eclipse falls in my 12th house but has a wide conjunction to my Libra Ascendant and squares my North Node in Capricorn and South Node in Cancer.  So I know that this eclipse will have a profound effect on my future as it guides me to release the past and move forward on my soul's destiny, which is what the North Node represents.  It probably won't be easy, but that is the nature of life.

What else is happening astrologically on the day of the Solar Eclipse?  The Solar Eclipse will be inconjunct Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces, which will require some adjustments in relationships.  It can also make us feel a little more reserved and aware if our needs are not being met.  Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces is forming a semi-square to Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn, which will provide a major reality check. This is actually the first major aspect between Saturn and Pluto since that conjunction in January 2020 that kicked off the pandemic.  I wouldn't be surprised if some restrictions were announced.  This aspect will remain in effect until January 2025.

Mars in 15 degrees of Cancer will be forming a quindecile (165 degrees apart) aspect with Pluto in 29 degrees on October 2.  Yes, Pluto in Capricorn is definitely getting some hits on this eclipse.  With Mars aspecting Pluto on an eclipse, there will be determination galore, but there can also be an obsessive and compulsive quality to the mix.

Mercury in 11 degrees of Libra is also forming a quindecile to Uranus in 26 degrees of Taurus. which could generate some new and unconventional ideas.  Don't rule out some mental breakthroughs involving technology on this Solar Eclipse.

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 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. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. 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
