A Day to Remember on September 10 with a New Moon in Virgo, Mercury and Venus Changing Signs and Uranus Going Retrograde

 

Save the day of September 10 on your calendar for major astrological happenings.  We are finally through processing the effects of the August eclipses because we have a New Moon in 18 degrees of Virgo on that day.  Mercury is the ruling planet of this New Moon and it is moving into Libra on that day.  It will be on a World Point because it is in 0 degrees of a cardinal sign; the World Axis consists of planets in 0 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. 

Mercury will be in Libra until September 30.  What can we expect when Mercury is in Libra? Well, you might be hearing bad news in a nice way because communication tends to be more diplomatic and balanced to ensure harmonious relationships.  It is a good time to resolve conflict because fair negotiations are possible.  We are seeking fairness and justice.  It can also be a time of reflection with the 25th anniversary of 9/11 coming up on the next day. Just be mindful that the shadow side of Mercury in Libra is a tendency towards indecisiveness and avoidance of conflict.

The themes of this particular New Moon in Virgo entail practical resets in our daily routines, health and work.  Purging, purity and cleansing are associated with Virgo.  Mercury in Libra will be opposing Neptune in Aries on the New Moon, which will increase our psychic sensitivity and creativity.  We also have a beautiful Grand Air Trine involving Uranus in 5 degrees of Gemini, Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius and Mercury in 0 degrees of Libra. This can bring a wonderful healing influence that incorporates technology.  If you have any planets from 3-7 degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius you can expect to feel somewhat restless on this New Moon.

We are still under the influence of the trine between Jupiter in 15 degrees of Leo and Saturn in 13 degrees of Aries.  It was exact on August 31, 2026.  This aspect makes it easier for us to implement long-lasting changes.   The trine will be exact again on April 3, 2027 in 22 degrees and on July 11, 2027 in 27 degrees.  Fire energy likes to take action.  Be sure to look at what houses this falls in your chart.  Jupiter is currently at the end of my 10th house and Saturn is at the end of my 6th house.  They will both have moved to my 11th and 7th houses by the next time they are exact in April 2027.  

Venus enters Scorpio on September 10 and will have an extended run in the fixed water sign because Venus will station retrograde in 8 degrees of Scorpio on October 3, slip back into Libra on October 25, go direct in 22 degrees of Libra on November 13 and re-enter Scorpio on December 4.  Venus will remain in Scorpio through the first week in January 2027.  I have my Venus retrograde in Scorpio, so I can tell you what this involves: it is deep, passionate and transformative in relationships.  There can be harsh communications (watch out for that Scorpio stinger) and a lot of behind-the-scenes action.  Finances, values, digging for the truth and passion will be emphasized.  Scorpio is an all or nothing sign, which means that jealousy, possessiveness and power struggles can emerge. It is a big change from Venus in Libra, although we do get a few weeks of Venus in Libra in late October through early December. Just be prepared for a lot of intensity in relationships and finances.  Venus in Scorpio doesn't do light and frothy.

Uranus is stationing retrograde in 5 degrees of Gemini on the New Moon too.  It remains retrograde until February 8, 2027 when it moves forward in 2 degrees of Gemini.  We will be reevaluating decisions we have made since Uranus went into Gemini in late April 2026.  It is a time of processing recent surprises instead of forcing new breakthroughs.  External chaos can be transmuted into internal reflection.  In other words, try to integrate recent disruptions before initiating any more major changes.  The year 2026 has definitely served up its fair share of upheaval.

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:

Jupiter and Mercury Are Perking Things Up While Venus and Mars Get Frisky

 

We are in a period of astrological limbo this week between eclipses.  The Lunar Eclipse in Pisces occurred on September 7 band now we are waiting for the Solar Eclipse in Virgo on September 21.

There are some delightful sextiles in play this week.  Sextiles occur when two planets are 60 degrees or two signs apart and they create opportunities. But the key thing to remember with opportunities is that you must act on them or you lose out.  On September 12, the Sun in Virgo is exactly Jupiter in 19 degrees of Cancer.  This can bring optimism, good luck and happiness.  It is fortuitous for reaching goals and launching new projects.  When the Sun sextiles Jupiter, it can bring material and spiritual growth.

Mercury in Virgo is also sextiling Jupiter in 19 degrees of Cancer on September 12.  This aspect is favorable for planning our future because we are more able to see the big picture.  We also have great communication skills, find it easier to make friends and can negotiate contracts.  This is a perfect way to start off the weekend.  I am happy about it because my Midheaven is in 19 degrees of Cancer.

On September 13, we get to experience a Mercury Cazimi when Mercury is in the heart of the Sun.  The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 20 degrees of Virgo.  There is a strong emphasis on quick thinking, mental alertness and some of us might be taking short trips.  We might also see an increase in activities in our neighborhood.  This can be a busy time socially as we meet new people and share ideas.

Venus in Leo is sextiling Mars in 25 degrees of Libra on September 15.  This is another aspect that favors socializing and romance.  Rest assured that you can be confident in pursuing your desires, as you can attract what you want.  We are ready to give and receive love.  Mars in conjunct my Neptune in Libra, so I am eagerly anticipating this aspect.

Mercury moves into Libra on September 18 and stays there until October 6, when we have a Full Moon in Aries.  When Mercury is in Libra, we tend to be more diplomatic and friendly.  We can also have a more rational approach to relationships.  It is easier to see both sides of a situation, but the shadow side of this is that it can lead to vacillation and procrastination.  But the plus side of Mercury in Libra is its focus on fairness and harmony.  Just remember that we ease into the next eclipse on September 21.  More on that in next week's post...

A Very Busy Week as the Sun and Mercury Enter Libra While Venus Moves into Scorpio

Well, we are in that week between eclipses which can be somewhat uncomfortable. On September 17, we had the first of two eclipses: a Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Pisces.  I posted this on that day:

The #LunarEclipse in Pisces today is also squaring Jupiter in Gemini amplifying our emotions and placing an emphasis on moving towards the future. This eclipse has a strong theme of releasing the past and embracing a new life. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 17, 2024

The Sun and Mercury are getting ready to depart the mutable sign of Virgo for the cardinal air sign of Libra.  But both planets still have a few moves up their sleeves before they leave Virgo.  On September 20, the Sun in Virgo will be opposing Neptune in 28 degrees in Pisces.  This can bring confusion, uncertainty, deception and some second guessing of our plans.  It is not a good day to start new relationships (because nothing or no one is as they appear).  We are also more susceptible to addiction or escapism on this day.  Just giving you a heads up...

On September 21, we have a mixed bag aspect as Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini.  This can be accompanied by optimism, a positive outlook and a view of the big picture. But the devil can be in the details.  There can be a tendency towards cockiness or exaggeration.

The Sun in Virgo will be trining Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 22.  This represents intense and profound experiences but it can also afford us the opportunity to purge what isn't working for us because Pluto also symbolizes elimination and both planets are in the anaretic or critical degrees (29) of their respective signs.

The Sun will enter Libra at 8:44 a.m. on September 22 as our focus shifts to being more sociable, tactful, peacemaking and more cooperative.  We are more amenable to compromise while the Sun is in Libra.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is a tendency to be more passive-aggressive and indecisive, however.

Venus is pretty busy on September 22 too.  Venus in Libra squares Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn at 5:15 pm on that day and that will stir the pot with power and control issues in relationships.  Watch out for manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness to emerge.

Venus moves into Scorpio at 10:36 p.m. on the 22nd until October 17.  When Venus is in Scorpio, love becomes more intense, passionate and magnetic.  It's an all or nothing vibe.  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, so we can expect a certain amount of drama and power struggle.  It's not for the faint of heart...

Mercury in Virgo is trining Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on September 24.  This is a welcome respite from the square on September 7 when Mercury was in Leo.  It opens our minds to new possibilities and the potential for exciting news.  Intuition is strong and apt to be quite correct on this day.  

Mercury in Virgo trines Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 26.  Our words will have strong powers of persuasion on this day and we can be quite influential if we set our minds to it.  It's also favorable for obtaining a psychic reading or starting therapy.

Finally, Mercury enters Libra at 4:09 a.m. on September 26 and remains in Libra until October 13.  Mercury in Libra is characterized by diplomacy, friendliness and a more rational approach to relationships.  Our mental focus is on achieving fairness and balance.

A Super Full Moon in Aries and Mercury Enters Libra

 

Hang on folks, because we have a Super Full Moon in 6 degrees of Aries on September 29.  This is the 4th Super Moon in row because the Moon is so close to the earth.  While the Full Moon itself isn't making any major aspects to other planets, there is plenty of back story involved with the other planets.

For starters, a Full Moon in Aries is all about determination and wanting to create something new.  It is cardinal fire, don't forget that it craves action and is very dynamic.  It has a strong theme about me (Aries) vs. we (Libra). The Sun in Libra is objective while the Moon in Aries is subjective. The Moon in Aries is speedy, impatient and restless. This Full Moon will test us to find some balance between the self and others.  Full Moons typically represent endings, closure and completion.  This one has that theme emphasized because Mars in 21 degrees of Libra is conjunct the South Node of the Moon in 25 degrees of Libra and the South Node represents our past.  Mars in Libra generally wants to reach compromise, but it could drain the lunar energy of that Aries Moon. Mars conjunct the South Node can bring up power issues too because the Nodes of the Moon in Aries and Libra are squaring Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn. Mars in Libra was opposing Chiron in 18 degrees of Aries on September 24, which opened up old emotional wounds for healing but could have created some angry scenes.  Pluto in Capricorn squaring the Nodes indicates that massive changes are underway, and we have to decide if we want to be a victim or become empowered. I don't usually work with Eris, the goddess of discord, but the North Node in 25 degrees of Aries is conjunct Eris in 24 degrees of Aries, which can only bring anger and contentious vibes to the mix.  It bears repeating that the North Node in Aries wants action.  The Sun in 6 degrees of Libra is conjunct Pallas in 7 degrees of Libra, and this can be quite positive in terms of helping us with strategy and diplomacy.  Pallas is the asteroid associated with the wisdom of the female spirit, and its location in a chart depicts where you can figure things out with logic, reasoning and creative understanding. It also has a warrior like spirit.  

The main aspect in the back story of this Full Moon in Aries is the exact square between Venus in 22 degrees of Leo and Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus.  This is the third time that this square has occurred: the first time was on July 2 in 21 degrees when both Venus and Uranus were direct and the second hit occurred on August 9 when Venus was retrograde and Uranus was direct in 22 degrees of their respective signs.  Now Venus is direct and Uranus is retrograde until January 26, 2024.  The bottom line with this aspect is that we can still be processing changes that have happened over the summer.  It is highly probable that many of us have experienced upheavals in relationships and finances.  I always say that it frequently takes us three times to get it right with an aspect.  Don't be surprised if you wind up needing more space and change in your relationships on this Full Moon. This is a very relationship-oriented Full Moon. Venus in Leo is also conjunct Juno, the asteroid associated with partnership, in 22 degrees of Leo.  I wouldn't be surprised if we heard about more break-ups with all of this emphasis on relationships.  

Mercury in 20 degrees of Virgo is also very active on this Full Moon.  It is opposing Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces and this can manifest as disappointment or disillusionment.  Mercury is also trining Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn, which could serve to activate something that occurred on the New Moon in 21 degrees of Virgo on September 14.  But Mercury in Virgo is also trining Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus and that can bring new ideas to the table.  

The effects of this Full Moon will also be in play on October 1 when Mars in 21 degrees of Libra is inconjunct Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus. This is a very rebellious vibe with an attitude of don't tell me what to do or else.  There is a positive spin to this energy, though, because Mercury in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn are involved in a loose Grand Earth Trine, which can bring us new ideas pertaining to finance and health.  The themes of health and wealth are emphasized.  

If you have any planets in 27-29 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, I guarantee that you will feel the intensity of this Full Moon in Aries because Pluto in Capricorn is squaring the Nodes of the Moon.

I am happy to report that as of September 30, Mercury in Virgo will clear its retrograde shadow.  On October 4, Mercury zips into the cardinal air sign of Libra until October 22.  When Mercury is in Libra, we are more diplomatic, fair, objective and rational.  Our communication is focused on attaining peace and harmony in relationships. It can be a welcome breath of fresh air after the recent Mercury retrograde and Full Moon in Aries. It is a perfect time to heal any rifts that have occurred. Just don't wind up being too nice to others or being indecisive because that is the shadow side of Mercury in Libra. Make the most of this peacekeeping transit.

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:

I also wanted to note that in an ironic twist of fate, the latest variant of COVID is EG.5, with a nickname of Eris.  Sound familiar--the Goddess of Discord?  Apparently, COVID cases and hospitalizations are on the rise...

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. The  newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus twice. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

The Cardinal Signs Are Calling the Shots as Pluto Stations Direct in Capricorn, A Full Moon in Aries and Mercury Re-Enters Libra

 

We have an intense week coming up, folks.  Mercury went direct on October 2, inspiring me to tweet:

The saving grace aspect of today is Mercury FINALLY stationing direct in Virgo! There is a light at the end of the tunnel with communication and transportation snafus. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 2, 2022

Pluto will be turning around in 26 degrees of Capricorn on October 8.  Pluto has been retrograde since April 29, 2022, when it stationed retrograde in 28 degrees of Capricorn.  Pluto turning direct has a strong theme of transformation.  If you have any planets around 26 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, mark my words that you are going to be encountering major issues pertaining to control and transformation. There could very well be  some major power plays enacted on the world stage.  It's literally going to be a breakdown to a breakthrough!  Once again, I am in the thick of things.  I have my natal Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra in my 1st house, so I am not escaping this by any means.  I also have my natal retrograde Uranus in 27 degrees of Cancer in my 10th house taking a hit.  Is it any wonder that I am an astrologer, psychic and healer with this placement?

Just remember that whenever a planet stations it is in a very powerful position and its effect will be intensified.  So the power planet is stationing direct and we need to be careful...

On October 9, we have a Full Moon in 16 degrees of Aries that will definitely ratch up the emotional intensity level with the effects of the Pluto station still present.  Full Moons tend to be a time of closure, completion and big reveals.  Pluto in Capricorn could be revealing some secrets on this Full Moon. Think back to the New Moon in 11 degrees of Aries on April 1, 2022.  Is anything coming to a cycle of completion for you?  This Full Moon in Aries is also conjunct Chiron in 14 degrees of Aries, indicating that themes of illness, health, healing and old wounds could surface.  Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus is also conjunct the North Node in 15 degrees in Taurus, which could see us dealing with financial turbulence for the next couple of months.  We are headed into eclipse season, with a Solar Eclipse in 2 degrees of Scorpio on October 25 and a Lunar Eclipse on November 8 in 16 degrees of Taurus.  The signs of Taurus and Scorpio are money signs and with the South Node in Scorpio, we are being called to release anything that is toxic.  Watch out for some action with investments, loans and mortgages.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it is renowned for being a warrior, as well as being very assertive and resilient.  Keep this in mind as to where it hits your chart.  It can be a time of releasing old fears and embracing our courage to move ahead because Aries is also a cardinal sign and loves to initiate.   The Sun and Venus in Libra are opposing the Full Moon in Aries, which can have the potential for achieving a peace treaty.  I know, it must be my Neptune in Libra speaking, hoping for the best possible outcome.  The Full Moon in Aries is also forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 18 degrees of Aquarius, which has been very close to an exact square with Uranus in Taurus again (the prevailing aspect of 2021), underscoring the theme of preserving the old versus embracing the new.  So perhaps some constructive action will take place.

What else is happening on this Full Moon?  Mars in Gemini is energizing the mind and all of the information that is circulating, but it is squaring Mercury in 27 degrees of Virgo, so there is a lot of analyzing of this information.  But Mercury in Virgo is also opposing Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces, which cans serve to energize the fog. Never fear, though because Mercury in Virgo is trining Pluto in Capricorn, which will provide the urge to dig deep and research the truth.  We will want to get to the bottom of things.  Don't be surprised if you hear more news about inflation on the Full Moon because Mercury in Virgo is still in opposition to Jupiter in 1 degree of Aries.  That also means the Sun and Venus in Libra are opposing Jupiter in Aries, so that contributes to the theme of excess.  Try to be as objective as possible, which probably is easier said than done.

On October 10, Mercury re-enters Libra until October 29.  The recent Mercury retrograde started on September 9 in 8 degrees of Libra, so we could be going over some old ground. It's true that Mercury rules Virgo (in addition to Gemini) and is comfortable there, although it can be very analytical and critical.  When Mercury is in Libra, we are inclined to be more diplomatic, friendly and willing to compromise. Negotiations tend to run smoothly and we are more rational in our approach to relationships.  The shadow side of  Mercury in Libra is a tendency to vacillate in our decision-making process as are able to see both sides of a given situation.

On October 12, Mars in Gemini is exactly squaring Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces.  This is going to be one of those low energy days that can be accompanied by suspicion, lies, paranoia and scandal.  Gossip is also likely.  The best way to deal with this energy is to mind your own business and try not to tackle any new projects or lash out because the truth isn't clear and our energy levels are low.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much-needed clarity and guidance. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

I am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.  Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a combination reading which offers the option 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.  As a direct result of the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on March 13, I introduced a new one-question tarot reading. These can be done by phone or video.
