A Much Quieter Week in Store with the Main Attraction Being Mercury Squaring Jupiter


The month of September is finally winding down after two pivotal eclipses, the first one a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on September 7 and the most recent one the Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo on September 21.  And we had Mars in Scorpio squaring Pluto in Aquarius on September 24.  But this week we are getting a bit of an astrological breather as September concludes before the Full Moon in Aries on October 6.

The Moon enters Sagittarius on September 26 and stays there until September 29. This should lighten the vibe for the weekend, unlike last weekend when we had that Solar Eclipse in Virgo.  I don't know about you, but I am still reeling from it.  My husband has Neptune in 29 degrees of Virgo in his 6th house, so the eclipse was conjunct it and he was rushed to the hospital on that evening.  I knew that there was a strong likelihood of a health crisis for him, but I didn't know how it would manifest.  It turned out to be colitis.  

Okay, the Moon in Sagittarius will oppose Uranus in Gemini during the evening of the 26th,  but it will also form a supportive sextile to Pluto in Aquarius a few minutes later, so let's just hope that whatever emotional changes and disruptions occur, they are going to empower us.  For the rest of September, it is just the Moon in Sagittarius and Capricorn making aspects. There aren't any major planets interacting with Uranus, Pluto or Saturn, which we can be grateful for.

On October 1, Mercury in Libra will be exactly squaring Jupiter in 22 degrees of Cancer.  Even this square isn't that bad because squares to Jupiter tend to be easier to deal with.  I actually have this square natally.  Mercury squaring Jupiter can make us overly optimistic with a broad outlook but not too focused on the details.  We run the risk of becoming overly cocky and arrogant.  And be mindful of the tendency to promise more than you can deliver.  Exaggeration is likely, as is overestimating our abilities.  Our minds could be racing with ideas but it can be challenging to implement them.  Our judgment could be askew too on this day.  Anyone who has planets or points in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn around 22 degrees will the impact of this aspect more acutely.  Just remember that a major theme of this aspect is big talking and promising more than we can deliver because Jupiter does love to expand whatever it touches.

Mercury in Libra will be conjunct my Juno and Neptune in my 1st house and Jupiter in Cancer will be conjunct my retrograde Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house.  So I can't exactly hide from this aspect as it is occurring in two angular houses.

I realize that this week's post is very short, but I hope that everyone can enjoy a bit of peace in the coming week.  I was watching a video with astrologer Steve Judd on the Solar Eclipse and he said that this would be the last really difficult time in 2025.  I hope that this is true, as do so many other people, I am sure.

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.

An Active Week as Venus Enters Virgo, a Solar Eclipse in Virgo, Mars Enters Scorpio and the Sun Moves into Libra

 




Hang on for a wild ride during the coming week.  As astrologer David Zunker posted on Blue Sky Social, "Here in Eclipse Alley, everything is intensified."  This really sums up the feeling of the entire month.

Let's break it down. On September 19, Venus departs dramatic Leo for the mutable earth sign of Virgo, where it resides until October 13.  Love is going to take on a whole different flavor than when it was in Leo.  We tend to express our affection through service to others with Venus now. Venus in Virgo can also feature more attention to detail in creative work and/or financial planning. Don't forget that Venus is also associated with money.  When Venus is in Virgo, we tend to be more reserved and discriminating in relationships.  Try to engage in some self-care too, because Venus is in a sensual earth sign.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Virgo is a tendency towards being critical and perfectionist.

On September 21, we have the second New Moon in Virgo in 2025.  The first one occurred on August 23 in 0 degrees of Virgo, but this one is a partial Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo.  That's right, the critical or anaretic degree.  There is a major theme of release with this eclipse because it is near the South Node of the Moon in 18 degrees of Virgo.  It is more karmic and there is a feeling that we are reaping what we have sown.  There could be some major news about health crises during this eclipse. 

This Solar Eclipse is also making major aspects to the outer planets.  For starters, it is opposing Saturn in 28 degrees of Pisces.  This entails the themes of structure and surrender.  Saturn is not especially comfortable in Pisces and it is retrograde to boot.  But the Sun and Moon in the last degree of Virgo are calling for some kind of ending to a crisis, perhaps a health issue.  Just be careful not to get caught up in self-deception or escapism during this eclipse.  

The Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo is also forming an opposition to Neptune in 0 degrees of Aries, which heightens the potential for tempting illusions.   And it squares Uranus in 1 degree of Gemini, which only further fuels the wild card vibe with the potential for disruptions in information or communication.

We also have a couple of irritating inconjuncts with this Solar Eclipse.  It inconjuncts Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius, which can require adjustments in power systems.  The Solar Eclipse in 20 degrees of Virgo also inconjuncts Chiron in 26 degrees of Aries.  This is bound to be emotionally uncomfortable as we experience increased sensitivity to old hurts and wounds.  We will need to confront those wounds to adjust and heal them.

There are some positive aspects present during this Solar Eclipse.  Pluto in Aquarius is trining Uranus in Gemini, which is a favorable influence for making the radical changes that are necessary. The Moon in Virgo is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 21 degrees of Cancer (where it is exalted), which in my mind is the saving grace aspect of this eclipse because it brings optimism, good fortune and faith in the future.

We all know that eclipses come in pairs and the last one occurred on September 7 in 15 degrees of Pisces.  This was a North Node eclipse and we might find that the Solar Eclipse in Virgo can activate some new developments that could have started two weeks ago. Anyone with planets or points in the middle degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius would have felt the effects of this eclipse more acutely.

Eclipses don't just happen on that one day.  The effects can be felt for a good five months.  Many people were saddened this week to hear about the death of Robert Redford on September 16.  I couldn't resist looking at his chart.  The Lunar Eclipse on September 7 in 15 degrees of Pisces was opposing his natal Neptune in 15 degrees of Virgo in his 6th house of health. It also squared his Jupiter in 14 degrees of Sagittarius in his 9th house. When he died, Saturn in 28 degrees of Pisces was conjunct his Ascendant.  And the upcoming Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo squares his Midheaven in 29 degrees of Sagittarius, ensuring that his passing would generate big news. As astrologers say, you can't make this stuff up.  Eclipses tell a story and sometimes that story has an ending.

On September 22, Mars, the planet representing drive, action, motivation and desire, enters Scorpio until November 4.  Mars is very strong in Scorpio because it was considered the ruler  of Scorpio until Pluto was discovered in 1930.  It is right at home in this fixed water sign.  When Mars is in Scorpio, we have the tenacity to persevere through difficult challenges and get to the bottom of things.  We have the power to unleash our drive and ambition.  There is no shortage of willpower.  Be prepared for some heavy-duty psychological self-examination.  But be aware that the shadow of Mars in Scorpio is that we can be inclined to seek out revenge, engage in power struggles or find it difficult to forgive. Mars in Scorpio will be squaring Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius on September 24. This will highlight issues of anger, passion and power struggles.  It can also instigate changes in leadership.  Adding to the mix on that day is the fact the Moon enters Scorpio, which will intensify the emotional vibration.

The Sun moves into Libra on September 22.  Our focus shifts to finding balance and harmony in relationships. Reconciliations are possible now because we really don't want to go it alone now. We tend to feel more sociable and since Libra is the cardinal air sign, we could be initiating contact with others.  We also appreciate beauty and the finer things in life, so shopping trips could be on the agenda for some of us.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is that we can be indecisive because we see both sides of situations and we can also be passive-aggressive.

Jupiter and Mercury Are Perking Things Up While Venus and Mars Get Frisky

 




We are in a period of astrological limbo this week between eclipses.  The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces occurred on September 7 band now we are waiting for the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21.

There are some delightful sextiles in play this week.  Sextiles occur when two planets are 60 degrees or two signs apart and they create opportunities. But the key thing to remember with opportunities is that you must act on them or you lose out.  On September 12, the Sun in Virgo is exactly Jupiter in 19 degrees of Cancer.  This can bring optimism, good luck and happiness.  It is fortuitous for reaching goals and launching new projects.  When the Sun sextiles Jupiter, it can bring material and spiritual growth.

Mercury in Virgo is also sextiling Jupiter in 19 degrees of Cancer on September 12.  This aspect is favorable for planning our future because we are more able to see the big picture.  We also have great communication skills, find it easier to make friends and can negotiate contracts.  This is a perfect way to start off the weekend.  I am happy about it because my Midheaven is in 19 degrees of Cancer.

On September 13, we get to experience a Mercury Cazimi when Mercury is in the heart of the Sun.  The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 20 degrees of Virgo.  There is a strong emphasis on quick thinking, mental alertness and some of us might be taking short trips.  We might also see an increase in activities in our neighborhood.  This can be a busy time socially as we meet new people and share ideas.

Venus in Leo is sextiling Mars in 25 degrees of Libra on September 15.  This is another aspect that favors socializing and romance.  Rest assured that you can be confident in pursuing your desires, as you can attract what you want.  We are ready to give and receive love.  Mars in conjunct my Neptune in Libra, so I am eagerly anticipating this aspect.

Mercury moves into Libra on September 18 and stays there until October 6, when we have a Full Moon in Aries.  When Mercury is in Libra, we tend to be more diplomatic and friendly.  We can also have a more rational approach to relationships.  It is easier to see both sides of a situation, but the shadow side of this is that it can lead to vacillation and procrastination.  But the plus side of Mercury in Libra is its focus on fairness and harmony.  Just remember that we ease into the next eclipse on September 21.  More on that in next week's post...

Uranus Retrograde and Eclipse Season Commences with a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces

 



September is here and we are in for one wild ride this month.  It began with Saturn moving back into Pisces on September 1 until mid-February 2026.  Saturn in Pisces is all about spiritual surrender and dissolving the structures that no longer are viable in our lives.  And our first eclipse this month on September 7 is in 15 degrees of Pisces.  This eclipse will be a repeat of the Lunar Eclipse we had on September 7, 2006. The world is a very different place from 2006, but if you are old enough to remember it, you might be facing some similar issues.

Right before that total Lunar Eclipse, Uranus stations retrograde in 1 degree of Gemini on September 6.  Uranus will stay in Gemini until November 7 when it moves back into Taurus to handle its unfinished business.  Then it re-enters Gemini on April 25, 2026 until 2033.  We are going to be experiencing strong Uranian energy for at least the first ten days of September.  This means we could see earthquakes, cyberattacks, aviation disasters and shocking awakenings.  The news will not be dull now.

This year is an incredibly intense portal between the past and the future.  It is quite rare to have Saturn, Uranus and then later Neptune dipping from Aries and Gemini back into Pisces and Taurus.  So I am not kidding when I say there is unfinished business to deal with.

The total Lunar Eclipse on September 7 is in 15 degrees of Pisces.  If you have any personal planets or points (like your Nodes of the Moon, Midheaven, Descendant or Ascendant) in the mid degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you cannot escape the intensity of this eclipse.  I have my Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini in my 8th house, so I am once again in the line of fire. This is a North Node eclipse, so we are obtaining some closure towards the future.  There will be endings and new beginnings.  Hopefully, with a Lunar Eclipse in the sensitive water sign of Pisces, we can see it as the end of victimhood.  The endings can be purposeful, but we need to be mindful of the inclination towards self-pitying and a feeling of martyrdom.  Pisces has an affiliation with its victimhood role, so try to step away from the concept that it's happening to me and perceive it as something happening for me. The Sun in Virgo is conjunct the South Node of the Moon in Virgo, which is motivated to be perfect and get things right.  

A Lunar Eclipse in Pisces has strong themes of surrender and release.  There is no doubt that we all are going to need to give up something to get to the future. We need to release what is no longer working for us, no matter how painful that is.  The bottom line is that we are all on a collective level grieving what is the past and we need to move forward despite the fact that we are still unsure how to do that. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac; it is extremely emotional and sentimental.  We have already had a taste of Saturn and Neptune in Aries (the first cardinal fire sign of the zodiac) and Neptune will move back into Pisces on October 22 until January 26, 2026.  My sense is that the decade of the 2020's will officially launch in 2026 because we are still in the processing of releasing the past.  Yes, we are all dealing with themes of loss and grieving a way of life that is no longer viable. On an astrological level, this started in January 2020 with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn that launched the pandemic.  I am sure that many people will agree that life has not been the same since COVID.

We do have some bright spots on the day of the eclipse.  Mars in Libra is squaring Jupiter in 19 degrees of Cancer, which can see many of us fighting for justice.  Jupiter is on my Midheaven then, which is leading to my Jupiter Return.  But this eclipse is also trining Jupiter in Cancer, which gives us hope and faith that something good will come of this...  Do not count out Jupiter's role in this eclipse.  After all, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, and I am eternally grateful for having this natal placement.

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:
