The planets are playing musical chairs again. Two days ago Mars in Aries stationed
retrograde, inspiring me to tweet:
On September 12, 2020, Jupiter will resume direct motion in
17 degrees of Capricorn after a four month retrograde that began on May 14th
in 27 degrees of Capricorn. Jupiter retrograde is not as dramatic as Mercury or
Mars retrograde because it is more philosophical, but it does pose its own
unique set of challenges. When Jupiter
is retrograde, it has a way of forcing us to reassess our views of the world
and what we consider to be lucky. Opportunities and good fortune may seem to be
in short supply when Jupiter is retrograde.
Don’t be surprised if what you considered to be a great opportunity or
lucky break in the recent past has changed in the last four months. We have all been swept up in COVID-19 this
year; I was still sick myself from it when Jupiter stationed retrograde back in
May. I consider myself lucky to be alive right now. But Jupiter was forming a conjunction to my
Chiron in the 4th house when it stationed retrograde in May and in
direct opposition to my natal Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house. When
Jupiter is direct, we have the opportunity to realize what wisdom we have
accumulated during the retrograde period and we will also be infused with a
sense of future vision and creativity. We have a window of opportunity to
believe that our dreams can come true. The themes of luck and expansiveness
that Jupiter is associated with can manifest in success for anyone with planets
around 17 degrees of the earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo.
On September 17, 2020 the earth energy is more potent when
we have a Super New Moon in 25 degrees of Virgo. It’s called a super new moon because the moon
is at its closest point to the earth and its emotional power is
heightened. New moons are always a time
of setting new intentions and this new moon in the sign of Virgo contains
strong themes of service to others and healing.
It can be a time of new beginnings that will take approximately six
months to reveal itself. There will be a full moon in Virgo on February 27,
2021 that will demonstrate what we have reaped from the seeds that we sow on
this new moon. Hopefully we will have a vaccine for the Coronavirus by then or
at least have it more under control.
What other aspects are in play on this new moon in
Virgo? Mercury in Libra is squaring the
newly direct Jupiter in Capricorn, which can lead to big and expansive
thinking. There may be a lot of talk about a vaccine or new treatment for the
Coronavirus. Mercury in Libra is also inconjunct Neptune in Pisces, which could
play out in secrets being revealed or divine inspiration coming through. You never quite know what will happen with
Neptune, but the fact that it is in an inconjunct aspect with Mercury indicates
that some type of adjustment will be required.
Venus in Leo is also squaring Uranus in Taurus, which could manifest in
unexpected developments in love and finances.
Conflicts might emerge in relationships regarding emotional security and
the need for space.
The new moon in Virgo is also trining Saturn in
Capricorn. Trines are usually considered
to be favorable aspects, but when Saturn is involved, nothing is easy. The moon
and Saturn are not exactly happy campers together. It indicates that we need to work hard and
there may be difficult emotional stuff to process. As the old saying goes, no
pain, no gain. The sun and moon in Virgo are trining both Saturn and Pluto in
Capricorn which can help us manifest our long-term plans but we need to do the
work to get the results.
The mutable signs or anyone with planets in the mutable
signs of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius will feel the effects of this
new moon the most. Obviously, Virgo will
strive for healing, service to others and being the best it can be. Pisces may
find themselves entering a new stage in relationships by rebooting and letting
go of the past. Gemini may experience a
new start on the home front, either through a physical move or a fresh start in
relationships with family members. And Sagittarius
will have a strong 10th house influence to usher in a new period in
their career or public standing. If
career is not a pressing issue right now, it could mean a fresh start in
revamping life goals that will see a payoff in February 2021.
If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. These
are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide
some much needed clarity and guidance.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I

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.

A
contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part

I am also available for tarot readings by telephone. I use the Celestial Tarot Deck, which I love
because it contains so many astrological symbols. A tarot reading is another great option for
obtaining insight and clarity. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50
which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me
to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are
concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my
in-person Reiki sessions until further notice in order to practice social
distancing. When I return to my Brookline office I will be practicing Reiki
with a mask, gloves, and medical exam sheets for your protection. I will also have hand sanitizer and
disinfectant wipes available. In the meantime, 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 for payment.
I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:

I
urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the
protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social
distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when
going outside your home and staying home if you are sick. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I
speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have
survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
