Mars in Cancer Sees Some Action and Jupiter Goes Retrograde



Well, we all have hopefully survived eclipse season. Technically, we enter the shadow of the Solar Eclipse in Libra of October 2 on October 5 so that it is safer to act on implementing change.  On October 2, I posted:

The Solar Eclipse in 10 degrees of Libra was widely squaring Mars in 15 degrees of Cancer.  But we are by no means done with the hits to Mars in Cancer.  On October 6, Mercury in Libra will be squaring Mars in 17 degrees of Cancer.  This day has strong themes of frustration, short-temperedness and aggression.  It can also be accompanied by rushed thinking and disagreements.  I would strongly encourage everyone NOT to make any major decisions on this day if you can help it.

The Sun in Libra will also be inconjunct Saturn in 14 degrees of Pisces on October 6. When the Sun is inconjunct Saturn, we are dealing with a major imbalance between what we want to do and what must be done.  It represents a conflict between freedom and responsibility.  Our sense of freedom is hampered and we have to remain flexible so that we can be prepared to  make adjustments.  Adjustments is always the key word when an inconjunct is present.

But Venus in Scorpio is trining Mars in 18 degrees of Cancer on October 8.  This is a very nice aspect that increases our desire for social contact and love.  It also stimulates our creativity.  After the last few weeks, we'll take it...

We have another delightful aspect occurring on October 8.  Mercury in Libra is trining Jupiter in 21 degrees of Gemini.  Optimism and good news are hallmarks of this happy occurrence.  It's a perfect time to make plans because it is a very future-oriented vibe. It facilitates meeting new people too that can become friends and is also very auspicious for travel.

On October 9 Jupiter stations retrograde in 21 degrees of Gemini until February 4, 2025, when it moves forward in 11 degrees of Gemini.  Jupiter retrograde happens every year and is not nearly as traumatic as Mercury retrograde, so there is no need to fear it.  It is a time of introspection and spiritual growth on an inner rather than an external level as we reexamine our deep beliefs and ethics.  It also represents an opportunity to face out past mistakes so that we can right our wrongs.  We will probably develop an awareness that our truths can be very different from the truths of those around us.  Since Jupiter also represents luck, we just might find that we need to make our own luck because when Jupiter is retrograde it is definitely an inside job.  Our growth and expansion are on a more spiritual level.  The shadow side of Jupiter retrograde is that we can be prone to greediness and self-indulgence.

If you have planets between 21 and 11 degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you will have a deeper and more profound experience with this Jupiter retrograde.  I have my natal Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini in my 8th house and while I did experience the conjunction in August, I know that I really didn't take full advantage of that opportunity, so I am looking forward to having it occur again in mid to late December 2024.  The important thing to remember with Jupiter transits is that you must utilize them and take advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves to you.  It's not like Uranus, Pluto or Saturn transits that tend to hit you pretty hard and are impossible to ignore.  It's literally a case of if you snooze, you lose with Jupiter transits.  The best part for me is I will get yet another opportunity for Jupiter to conjunct my Moon in March 2025 when Jupiter in Gemini is direct.  And that is food for thought...

The bottom line is that this coming week will open a small window of opportunity to act and implement new ideas before we have Pluto turning direct in Capricorn on October 11 for its final journey before entering Aquarius on November 19, the Sun in Libra squaring Mars in Cancer on October 14 and a Full Moon in Aries on October 17. And how could we forget that the Sun will enter Scorpio on November 22 ramping up the intensity level even more.

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
