Mars in Leo Trines Saturn in Aries and Venus in Scorpio Mixes it Up with Uranus, Pluto and Neptune

 

We have a high energy day on tap for October 16 when Mars in Leo is exactly trining Saturn in 10 degrees of Aries.  Strength, ambition, discipline and perseverance are on hand in a big way to take on the hardest tasks so that we can accomplish great feats.  It's perfect for managing finances and making commitments in relationships.  This is the day to handle any responsibilities we have been shirking and get organized.  As someone who has the more challenging natal square aspect between Mars in Aquarius and Saturn in Scorpio, I can really appreciate the value and enormous potential of this aspect.  Quite frankly, I wish I had a trine between Mars and Saturn but I am dealing with the square.  At least it makes me tough and persistent in the fixed signs.

On the same day, retrograde Venus in Scorpio is inconjunct retrograde Uranus in 5 degrees of Gemini.  Our need for change and excitement in love is accelerated.  This can usher in a period of instability in relationships.  If you are single, you could be attracted to someone who is completely from your usual type and it could turn into a brief encounter.  There is bound to be some tension between our need for relational harmony and our craving for freedom, so try to deal with it constructively by making minor adjustments.  

Venus in Scorpio will be squaring Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius on October 20, 2026.  We have had quite a few Venus Pluto squares in 2026: Venus in Taurus squared Pluto in Aquarius on April 3, Venus in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius on September 15 and after October 20, Venus in Scorpio will square Pluto in Aquarius on December 9 when both of these planets are direct. The themes of this transit are control, manipulation and hidden power struggles within relationships and financial/shared resources.  There will be high emotional intensity, jealousy, possessiveness and potentially obsessive behavior.  It can be very uncomfortable but ultimately it forces us to purge toxic habits and reclaim our personal power.  Pluto is after all the astrological version of Roto-Rooter.  Be mindful of a tendency towards compulsive spending too. We can expect some drama to occur on this day because feelings are much deeper than usual.  Intensity is the name of the game here.  I have this aspect natally with my retrograde Venus in Scorpio squaring my Pluto in Leo.

On October 21, Venus in Scorpio is inconjunct retrograde Neptune in 2 degrees of Aries. This is characterized by imagination, optimism and idealism accompanied by insecurity, uncertainty, guilt and self-doubt.  There is a strong mismatch between our desire and actual reality, manifesting in confusion.  Try not to make any major financial decisions, especially on things that seem too good to be true and don't make promises you can't keep.  You can be more creative or just use the energy to see some art or a movie.  This aspect can foster creativity.  Just be aware that surrealism and confusion can be present on this day.

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:
