The month of September has been quite the
roller coaster, starting off with a new moon solar eclipse on September 1st
and a lunar eclipse in Pisces on September 16th. Both eclipses were
hosted by Mercury retrograde, which although technically in the shadow until
October 6th, stationed direct on September 22nd,
affording us some relief. We were also
under the nebulous influence of the infamous Saturn/Neptune square, which was
exact again on September 10th.
But one bright spot during this whirlwind of planetary activity was
Jupiter moving into Libra on September 9, 2016.
The piece de resistance of September, the jewel
in the crown to speak, is the second new moon of the month on September 30,
2016 in 8 degrees of Libra. New moons
are all about fresh starts and new beginnings, so we are blessed to get a
second chance for new beginnings this month that can spill into the month of
October. It is a very well aspected new moon in the sign of Libra. Typical Libra themes are equality, harmony,
balance, beauty and unconditional love and idealism in relationships. The sun and moon in Libra form a close (4
degrees) conjunction to Jupiter in Libra, which is pretty sweet. This conjunction
fuels our enthusiasm and hope for the future; we can somehow feel the potential
for our dreams to come true and our beliefs are strengthened. Our dreams for love and money can be brought
to fruition under this highly optimistic new moon, which is a welcome breath of
fresh air after the two September eclipses. Relief is in sight! The last
eclipse on September 16, 2016, was a south node lunar eclipse, which is all
about leaving the past behind and surrender.
Surrender is a common theme with Pisces eclipses. This new moon in Libra also features
transiting Neptune in Pisces conjunct the south node, reinforcing the theme of leaving
the past behind. In other words, it’s
time to release the things that no longer serve our best interests.
The new moon in Libra also includes some
positive aspects involving Saturn and Neptune, which can help us to emerge from
the shadow of fear and anxiety that was prevalent during the third and final Saturn/Neptune
square earlier this month. We have
literally been feeling the influences of this aspect since November 26, 2015
and it is finally moving into a waning phase. The Libra sun sextiles Saturn in Sagittarius,
providing enhanced stability, patience, perseverance and a strong work
ethic. Jupiter in Libra also sextiles
Saturn in Sagittarius, and this signifies a time of cautious expansion. During this new moon in Libra, Neptune in
Pisces is trined by Venus in Scorpio, creating an atmosphere in which spiritual
principles can prevail in love and creative endeavors are favored as we engage
in more compassionate behavior and living from the heart.
The only inherent danger with this new moon in
Libra is that we can literally get swept away in a Neptunian fog of over-idealism
and pie in the sky schemes. This is
evidenced by the Libra sun inconjunct Neptune in Pisces, indicating that we may
very well require some fine tuning and adjustments between our ego and our
goals. But overall, this new moon in
Libra is a fine time to shoot for the moon in terms of attaining those lofty
goals. Whatever you do, don’t forget that
Saturn is a key player in this new moon.
Remember to be patience, persevere, be diligent and try not to bite off
more than you can chew. Easier said than
done, I know. We are literally trying to
achieve a fine balance between pie in the sky idealism and negative realism, no
small feat.
On a personal level, this new moon falls in my
12th house and squares my south node in Cancer and north node in
Capricorn. I am definitely feeling the
pressure of this challenging aspect to leave my karmic baggage behind and move
forward on my soul’s path. I am grateful
for Jupiter’s presence in my 12th house, but am eagerly anticipating
when it enters my 1st house on November 30, 2016 so I can
get the full experience of expansion and growth.
If you are curious as to how Jupiter in Libra will
impact you in the coming year, why not consider getting an astrological
reading? This is a time of great change
and a little astrological insight can give you some much needed tools to make
the most of the opportunities which will be available to you during Jupiter’s
transit of Libra. While Saturn is never
subtle about the lessons you need to learn and its impact is always felt during
a transit, Jupiter has the kind of feel good energy that can be easily ignored
and its blessings blown if you aren’t mindful of its potential for growth. I always say that with Jupiter, if you
snooze, you lose. Food for thought…
The north node in Virgo has an underlying theme
of service to others. In that spirit of
pursuing my path as a healer, I am still channeling that Virgo north node
energy by offering my Reiki services. If
you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at
Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove
blockages to healing. It’s a perfect way
to start your weekend off and can also be described as a spa for the soul to
boot! Reiki is the most profound
treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

my site:
For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule
for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing
distance Reiki sessions for them. I have
a conversation with them 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 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. Additionally, I see clients
at my home in Newton, Massachusetts and am generally available on weekends and
evenings for your convenience.

If you are seeking more spiritual insight into your life, please
consider getting an astrological reading. An astrological reading can provide
valuable insight and tools. If you are
not quite ready for a full blown natal interpretation or a solar return
forecast, I also offer one question astrological readings and composite couple
readings that offer insight into the purpose of a relationship. And I offer
shorter transit readings for three and six months which might help you navigate
the rest of 2016 a little easier. If you purchase a three or six month transit
reading, I will even look at how September’s eclipses affected you! You can
