What a week we have coming astrologically! And it all starts on October 23 at 5:38 a.m. when the Sun enters Scorpio for its annual visit. Prepare for a period of intensity and uncovering the truth as we are digging deeply beneath the surface. It can be a very healing and transformative time because it represents an opportunity to shed toxic patterns and emotional baggage. This is the start of my new year because I am a Scorpio with my Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Pallas, Lilith and Ceres in the fixed water sign.
Also on October 23, we have a Venus/Sun Cazimi in 0 degrees of Scorpio at 11:44 p.m. Cazimi simply means that a planet is considered to be in the heart of the Sun. Venus is at the midpoint of its retrograde transit that began on October 3 when it stationed in 8 degrees of Scorpio and it is now urging us to look beneath the surface of our true values, emotional attachments, power dynamics and financial or romantic partnerships. Venus will now become a morning star, so if you have heard the phrase Venus Star Point, it is referring to the fact that we are concluding a nearly 100-year cycle that began in 1930. Venus retrograde in Scorpio will not meet up with the Sun in Scorpio again until 2181. This is truly the end of an era. It is a cosmic wake-up call and a chance for some clarity. This Cazimi is exactly conjunct my natal Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio, so I have no doubt that it will have a profound effect on my life.
Mercury stations retrograde in 20 degrees of Scorpio on October 24 and remains retrograde until November 13, which is the same day Venus turns direct. Mercury retrograde is associated with technological glitches, misunderstandings in communication and travel delays. In the fixed water sign of Scorpio, Mercury retrograde can play out as finding ourselves dredging up unanswered questions and returning to unfinished conversations. It can highlight joint finances, obsession and power struggles. Research is another theme associated with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. Mercury is stationing retrograde on my Sun in the 2nd house, so this should be interesting...We also need to be mindful of the tendency towards passive-aggressive behavior. Enough said...
Venus retrograde slips into Libra on October 25 and remains in Libra until December 3. Venus rules Libra, so it is much more comfortable in this this sign. We should experience a bit of a break in the Venus retrograde because let's face it, Venus is not a happy camper in Scorpio. It's possible to achieve more fairness and equality in relationships. Relationships could be feeling lighter now and I think that we can all use that now.
The piece de resistance is the Full Moon in 3 degrees of Taurus on October 26. Mark my words, this will be another pressure cooker Full Moon. The good news about this Full Moon is that it occurs in the exaltation degree of the Moon. But this Full Moon is also squaring Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius, which has themes of rebirth, release of compulsive habits, and control issues. We are being asked to let go of what is no longer serving our best interests. This Full Moon in Taurus highlights where we have invested too much in maintaining stability in our lives to the point that it is stifling us. Don't resist change, which is heavily emphasized because the Moon in the fixed sign of Taurus is opposing the Sun in the fixed water sign of Scorpio. I know it's easier said than done, but find the courage to let go of whatever your security blanket is.
What else is going on astrologically on this Full Moon? Plenty. Retrograde Chiron in 28 degrees of Aries is conjunct the Full Moon in 3 degrees of Taurus, so don't be surprised if old wounds are triggered. Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio is squaring Mars and Jupiter in Leo as well as the North Node in Aquarius and South Node in Leo. Mercury squaring Mars and Jupiter in Leo can cause us to reflect on our need to be validated and seen. Mercury squaring the Nodes of the Moon can bring information that will change our lives. Remember that the South Node represents our past and the
path of least resistance while the North Node is where our soul is headed that requires
us to stretch out of our comfort one.
The bottom line with this Full Moon in Taurus is that it can definitely be overwhelming with all of this planetary activity. We can be feeling vulnerable, so be sure to speak out and engage in some heavy self-care. Venus is the ruler of this Full Moon, and it is in Libra, the other sign that Venus rules. Take good care, everyone.

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:
