An Unusually Intense New Moon in Libra and Pluto Goes Direct in Aquarius

 

We have a New Moon in 17 degrees of Libra on October 10 that is anything but peaceful.  Many of us have been feeling somewhat stuck lately and this New Moon can be very emotionally triggering and leave us feeling quite vulnerable, especially with Venus retrograde.  Venus in 7 degrees of Scorpio is squaring Mars in 7 degrees of Leo on the New Moon, which can bring discomfort and tension in relationships.  But this can result in clearer boundaries if we can survive any ego wounds that are dredged up, pride and reactive patterns. Venus in Scorpio is also squaring Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius, emphasizing power dynamics and old trauma that resurfaces.

. 

The New Moon in Libra is also opposing Saturn in 10 degrees of Aries with strong themes of  responsibility, hard work and emotional maturity.  We will need to show up when it's uncomfortable and set some boundaries in relationships.

A New Moon in Libra requires that we listen to others so that we can plant new seeds in relationships and reboot them in order to obtain a reset.  Fortunately the saving grace aspect of this New Moon is the supportive sextile between the Moon in Libra and Jupiter in 21 degrees of Leo.  This provides us with wisdom, growth, and heart-centered expansion.  It is very supportive and healing if we are willing to do the work. This New Moon is also conjunct my Ascendant and activating my Grand Air Trine involving Mars in Aquarius and my Moon in Gemini, so I have no doubt that it will be important for me.

On October 15 Pluto will station direct 3 degrees of Aquarius after having been retrograde since May 6, 2026 in 5 degrees of Aquarius. Pluto direct will give us more clarity on decisions that have been percolating since May.  It can represent a point of completion as well as a spiritual turning point and transformation. It is a time to get unstuck regarding the major changes in our lives and who couldn’t use that.

The Sun in Libra is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 21 degrees of Leo on October 15.  This is accompanied by a boost in confidence, optimism, positive thinking and feelings of generosity. We can be feeling lucky because material and spiritual growth are possible.  It is a real feel-good day, so make the most of it.

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:
