A Very Busy Week as the Sun and Mercury Enter Libra While Venus Moves into Scorpio

Well, we are in that week between eclipses which can be somewhat uncomfortable. On September 17, we had the first of two eclipses: a Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Pisces.  I posted this on that day:

The #LunarEclipse in Pisces today is also squaring Jupiter in Gemini amplifying our emotions and placing an emphasis on moving towards the future. This eclipse has a strong theme of releasing the past and embracing a new life. #astrology

The Sun and Mercury are getting ready to depart the mutable sign of Virgo for the cardinal air sign of Libra.  But both planets still have a few moves up their sleeves before they leave Virgo.  On September 20, the Sun in Virgo will be opposing Neptune in 28 degrees in Pisces.  This can bring confusion, uncertainty, deception and some second guessing of our plans.  It is not a good day to start new relationships (because nothing or no one is as they appear).  We are also more susceptible to addiction or escapism on this day.  Just giving you a heads up...

On September 21, we have a mixed bag aspect as Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini.  This can be accompanied by optimism, a positive outlook and a view of the big picture. But the devil can be in the details.  There can be a tendency towards cockiness or exaggeration.

The Sun in Virgo will be trining Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 22.  This represents intense and profound experiences but it can also afford us the opportunity to purge what isn't working for us because Pluto also symbolizes elimination and both planets are in the anaretic or critical degrees (29) of their respective signs.

The Sun will enter Libra at 8:44 a.m. on September 22 as our focus shifts to being more sociable, tactful, peacemaking and more cooperative.  We are more amenable to compromise while the Sun is in Libra.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is a tendency to be more passive-aggressive and indecisive, however.

Venus is pretty busy on September 22 too.  Venus in Libra squares Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn at 5:15 pm on that day and that will stir the pot with power and control issues in relationships.  Watch out for manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness to emerge.

Venus moves into Scorpio at 10:36 p.m. on the 22nd until October 17.  When Venus is in Scorpio, love becomes more intense, passionate and magnetic.  It's an all or nothing vibe.  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, so we can expect a certain amount of drama and power struggle.  It's not for the faint of heart...

Mercury in Virgo is trining Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on September 24.  This is a welcome respite from the square on September 7 when Mercury was in Leo.  It opens our minds to new possibilities and the potential for exciting news.  Intuition is strong and apt to be quite correct on this day.  

Mercury in Virgo trines Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 26.  Our words will have strong powers of persuasion on this day and we can be quite influential if we set our minds to it.  It's also favorable for obtaining a psychic reading or starting therapy.

Finally, Mercury enters Libra at 4:09 a.m. on September 26 and remains in Libra until October 13.  Mercury in Libra is characterized by diplomacy, friendliness and a more rational approach to relationships.  Our mental focus is on achieving fairness and balance.

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
