The last full week of October is going out with a bang, pretty much the way it started with that Full Moon in Aries. On October 20, Mercury and Mars will be conjunct in 20 degrees of Scorpio. This can quite literally indicate a breaking point, both mentally and emotionally. We can feel driven to dig deep and investigate with both of these planets in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. A crisis can occur and we could see aggression on a verbal or emotional level. Powerful communication is likely and I wouldn't be surprised if words were used as weapons. I have my natal Mercury in Scorpio and I have frequently quipped that my mouth could be registered as a lethal weapon. Subconscious truths can be revealed. This aspect will be quite personal for me because it is conjunct my natal Sun in Scorpio in my 2nd house.
We have a New Moon in 28 degrees of Libra on October 21 that promises to pack quite a punch. The theme of a New Moon in Libra is to set intentions to create more harmony, but the Sun and Moon in Libra are forming an out of sign square to Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius, which could indicate some power struggles. Of course, the most positive use of this energy is power to the people, but it seems that like is a work in progress.
There is actually a Cardinal Grand Cross on the New Moon because it squares Jupiter in 24 degrees of Cancer and opposes Chiron in 24 degrees of Aries. Aries is very rebellious energy while Jupiter in Cancer is all about self-care and nurturing others. This Cardinal Grand Cross has strong themes of motivation to make changes, but there can be unbalanced power and lack of equality. Chiron in Aries opposing the New Moon can trigger old emotional wounds for healing so that we can move forward. And the New Moon squaring Jupiter in Cancer can bring on a tendency towards self-indulgence.
What else is going on astrologically with the New Moon in Libra? We also have a Grand Water Trine involving Mars and Mercury in Scorpio trining Jupiter in 24 degrees of Cancer and Saturn in 26 degrees of Pisces. A Grand Water Trine emphasizes emotions, so expect to have a big case of the feels on this day.. There is the potential for angry words, but try to remember that we are building for the future and use that emotional energy to stay focused.
This New Moon in Libra will be very personal for me as it conjuncts my Neptune in Libra and Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house. The Grand Water Trine also trines my Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer.
The action continues on October 22 with two planets moving into water signs. Neptune moves from Aries, where it has been since March 30, back into Pisces at 5:48 a.m. Neptune will remain in the anaretic or critical degree of 29 in Pisces until January 26, 2026 when it moves back into Aries until May 2038. Clearly we have some unfinished business to attend to and this transit will be felt the strongest by anyone having planets or points in the late degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius. This last pass of Neptune in Aries will be a crucial turning point regarding the areas of spirituality, confusion and escapism. We might be dissolving illusions and obtaining a deeper understanding of the truth as we let go of the past to heal and prepare for a new beginning that Neptune in Aries symbolizes. On a more mundane level, this last hit of Neptune in Pisces could bring more floods and storms.
The Sun enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio at 11:51 p.m. on October 22. The focus is now on transformation and getting to the bottom of things. There is nothing superficial or light-hearted about the Sun transiting Scorpio because it literally is an all-or-nothing sign with no halfway measures. It is a seismic change from the Sun in Libra. Determination, perseverance and loyalty are earmarks of Scorpio, as is emotional depth and intensity. Just be mindful that the shadow side of Scorpio is about jealousy and vindictiveness. I am a Scorpio, so trust me, I know that all of these things are true. A Scorpio can be your most loyal friend, but it you cross them, they can be your worst enemy. This is the kind of energy we will be dealing with for the next few weeks...

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:
