Mercury in Libra is Still Busy and the Sun Enters Libra

 

As I mentioned last week, Mercury entered Libra on September 10 with the New Moon in Virgo and has wasted no time making its presence known.  It continues to express itself this week.  On September 18, it is opposing Saturn in 12 degrees of Aries.  This is not the friendliest or most joyful aspect.  It calls upon us to find a balance between harmony and maintaining boundaries in relationships.  Patience is required, which is not exactly fun and it doesn't come easily for me.  We might have to curb our people-pleasing tendencies but perhaps we can reframe it to think of it as a reset in relationships.  Saturn's presence implies that serious conversations are possible and responsibility will be a key theme in relationships.

On September 21, Mercury in Libra is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 17 degrees of Leo.  This is a much more favorable aspect bringing clear thinking, positive communication and ease in problem-solving.  Good news is likely and we are definitely open to the big picture.  This one is all about making plans for the future.  Make an effort and you will be rewarded.  Sextiles bring opportunities our way, but we have to grasp the bull by the horn, so to speak.  It's a real snooze you lose vibe.  Enough said...

Libra season and fall officially launch on September 22 when the Sun enters Libra.  The focus shifts to feeling more social and in search of fairness.  Libra is the cardinal air sign and it likes to lead through ideas and spoken or written words.  The cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are leaders.  It is a perfect opportunity to mend broken relationships and avoid conflict.  We can also find ourselves appreciating beauty and the arts more when the Sun is in Libra.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is that decision-making can be more challenging and we could be prone to passive-aggressive behavior.  However, we do need to appreciate the fact that when the Sun enters Libra it will be forming a Grand Air Trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini.  This is extremely helpful in terms of implementing change and transformation.  As someone who has a natal Grand Air Trine involving my Libra Ascendant, Moon in Gemini and Mars in Aquarius, I am delighted with this configuration.  Communication should be flowing freely.

Enjoy the relatively peaceful break before next week's Full Moon in Aries, Mars entering Leo and Mercury entering Scorpio for an extended stay due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde...

I am no longer posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), but I am posting daily on Blue Sky Social as danceofphoenix@danceofphoenix.bsky.social. There is an astrological community on there called AstroSphere. The link is:

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a combination reading which offers the option of a 30-minute astrology consultation with a one-question tarot reading for only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget. I also have a one-question tarot reading for only $15.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com.

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:
