A Super-Charged New Moon in Sagittarius, More Squares Between Sagittarius and Pisces Planets, and the Sun and Venus Enter Capricorn


 


We are by no means done with the squares between the planets in Sagittarius and Pisces.  Last week's square on December 14 between Mars in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces was downright lethal.  The themes of aggression, addiction and victimization prevailed as we heard news about the shootings at Brown University, Bondhi Beach and the tragic murders of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner.

On December 13, Mars in Sagittarius was inconjunct Uranus in 28 degrees of Taurus. Mars and Uranus contacts are frequently associated with violence.  On that day I posted on Blue Sky Social:

Mars in Sagittarius is forming an irritating inconjunct with Uranus in Taurus today which can cause havoc and require that we make adjustments on the fly. Be prepared for unexpected events to occur… #astrology

I hate to say it, but having Neptune in 29 degrees of Pisces until January 26, 2026 is only going to trigger more of these themes.  Hopefully we can avoid more bloodshed, but Neptune in Pisces has a very dark side that just might rear its ugly head in the next few weeks.  But let us hope that it can also bring us a spiritual awakening by encouraging more compassion and dissolution of old illusions for a collective rebirth.

On December 19, we have the last New Moon of 2025: a New Moon in 28 degrees of Sagittarius. We are not escaping the tension of the squares with this New Moon: it squares both Saturn and Neptune in Pisces.  This can trigger old emotional insecurities, doubts and emphasizes boundary issue as well as providing a cold reality check.  The New Moon in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces can also bring more confusion. There is also the factor that the New Moon is inconjunct Uranus in 28 degrees of Taurus, adding to the unpredictability factor.

Relationships will be a big area of focus on this New Moon because it is also conjunct Venus in 23 degrees of Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius is in mutual reception with Jupiter in 22 degrees of Cancer because both planets are in each other's signs, so this can function like a conjunction, which is a good thing.

This New Moon in Sagittarius has themes of restlessness, as well as a craving for adventure and joy.  It is time to break free of old patterns that have been holding us back since 2020.  It is very future oriented, so set those new intentions.  We might already be feeling the energy of 2026, which is bound to be a game changing year.

On December 20, the Sun in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces.  This can weaken our vitality and our energy levels could be low on this day.  It can also lend a note of deception to personal relationships.  

Venus in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn in 25 degrees of Pisces on December 21.  This can bring stress to love and finances, as well as temporary feelings of loneliness and depression.  The Sun moves into Capricorn at 10:03 a.m. on the 21st, which shifts the focus to responsibility, ambition, realism and practicality.  It is time to buckle down to business and work hard.  It is also the first day of winter.

On December 24, Christmas Eve, Venus in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in Pisces.  This aspect can be associated with poor self-image and we might be inclined to think we need to spend more money on gifts in order to be loved.  Self-discipline is definitely missing in action with this aspect in play.  It can be easier to be ripped off and addiction can surface too with Venus squaring Neptune.

Venus enters Capricorn at 11:26 a.m. on December 24 and remains there until January 17, 2026.  When Venus is in Capricorn, we tend to approach relationships and finances in a more practical and mature fashion.  We are taking relationships more seriously during this time.

On Christmas Day, December 25, the Moon is in Pisces, forming supportive sextiles to both the Sun and Mars in Capricorn.  Here's hoping that just maybe we can act in a more compassionate manner for the holiday.  I wish everyone a very peaceful and Merry Christmas.

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:

The Month of December Kicks off with an Invigorating New Moon in Sagittarius

 


On December 1, we have a New Moon in 9 degrees of Sagittarius.  New Moons are all about fresh starts and the themes associated with a New Moon in Sagittarius include inspiration, learning, adventure and seeking truth.  We literally have the opportunity to stretch out of our comfort zone and expand our horizons.

The New Moon in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn in 12 degrees of Pisces.  This will provide the opportunity to ground our dreams into reality and blend our spiritual insight with practical action.  We will also get a jolt of creativity, confidence and energy when the New Moon in 9 degrees of Sagittarius trines Mars in 5 degrees of Leo.  Mars is slowing down for its retrograde transit that begins on December 6.  

The Moon also conjuncts newly retrograde Mercury in 20 degrees of Sagittarius, which can emphasize sensitive and changeable emotions, especially since it occurs in a mutable fire sign.  So be on the lookout for mood swings and high intuition.  The New Moon in Sagittarius will also be opposing Jupiter in 17 degrees of Gemini, which is also opposing Mercury in 20 degrees of Sagittarius and squaring Saturn in 12 degrees of Pisces. This can contribute to a feeling of stop and start, because Jupiter, which loves to expand and grow is at odds with Saturn, which is more constrictive by nature. So we can expect a massive overload of opinions and ideas to be circulating on this day.  The square between Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces has been a presence in the astrological weather since August 19 when it was exact in 17 degrees and it will be exact again on December 24 in 14 degrees.  The third and final exact square will occur on June 15, 2025 when Jupiter is in 1 degree of Cancer and Saturn is in 1 degree of Aries. The bottom line with this aspect is that it causes frustration and we need to slow down because progress is just not happening as fast as we would like it to.

Venus in Capricorn will be trining Uranus in 24 degrees of Taurus on December 2 and this will bring the urge to try something new in our lives, either in love or finances.  It can be very beneficial for socializing and creative endeavors.  The main thing to remember is to expect the unexpected.  Venus trining Uranus can also be the impetus for scoring some good deals in shopping.  I have a natal Venus-Uranus trine in water signs (Scorpio and Cancer), so I can attest that it is a pretty sweet aspect.

On December 4, the Sun in Sagittarius will be squaring Saturn in 13 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect is not so much fun, as it will bring tests, challenges as well as a tendency towards pessimism and depression.  It truly is a test of character and we need to be patient, determined and hunker down to work hard.

The Sun and Mercury will be conjunct in Sagittarius on December 5.  This will highlight communication and short distance travel despite being in the crosshairs of Mercury retrograde.  We can still feel free to share ideas and meet new people, but realize that those ideas could be up for review when Mercury goes direct on December 15.

I would also like to announce that I am no longer posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), but I am posting daily on Blue Sky Social as danceofphoenix@danceofphoenix.bsky.social.

New Moon in Sagittarius and Mercury Retrograde


 

We are headed into the last New Moon of 2023 and the last Mercury retrograde of 2023.  There is a strong vibe of Sagittarius present these days.  The New Moon occurs on December 12, 2023 in 20 degrees of Sagittarius.  Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign and is renowned for its restlessness, impulsivity and impatience.  We want action and we want it now; we are not averse to taking risks.

The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 12 features a mutable mash of planets: the Sun, Moon and Mars in Sagittarius, and Saturn and Neptune in Pisces.  Mutable planets are more malleable and adaptable. Some of the themes of this New Moon include seeking freedom, personal growth, expansion, justice, optimism for the future and being more open to change.  Mars is in 13 degrees of Sagittarius on the New Moon and is really fueling and energizing us.  But the New Moon in Sagittarius is also squaring Neptune in 24 degrees of Pisces, which just stationed direct on December 6.  On that day I posted:
It is common knowledge that when a planet stations, either retrograde or direct, it is more powerful.  And we can feel the effects of that station for several day.  In the case of Neptune in Pisces, we can experience confusion but we are also open to the potential for miracles.  It can give us a spiritual vision of the future and more inspiration. Don't forget that Neptune loves to dissolve too. With Neptune direct, we could start to see veils being lifted. And with the New Moon aspecting Neptune, it is a perfect time to implement a new spiritual practice.  Meditation, anyone?  Please be sure to set your intentions and plant the seeds for a course of action on this New Moon. The New Moon in 20 degrees of Sagittarius is also trining the North Node in 21 degrees, which is very auspicious for embarking on an adventure that helps us to fulfill our soul's path.

A major component of a New Moon in Sagittarius is the ability to look at how others think and feel.  Sagittarius does have a tendency to think it is right and be somewhat judgmental, preachy and opinionated, so we need to cultivate the ability to tolerate the opinions of others. Be mindful of that on the New Moon.  Mercury in 8 degrees of Capricorn is trining Jupiter in 6 degrees of Taurus on the New Moon, strengthening our future visions.

Venus in Scorpio will be opposing Jupiter in 6 degrees of Taurus on December 9 and we will still be feeling the effects of this aspect on the New Moon. Venus opposing Jupiter brings more passion and intensity to love and money.  We might be making a big ticket purchase around this time.  It also encourages us to have some respect for others' opinions.

This can be a very future-oriented and hopeful New Moon. There can be a healing theme to this New Moon as well because Mars in 13 degrees of Sagittarius is trining Chiron in 15 degrees of Aries.  If you have any planets in 19-22 degrees of the mutable planets of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo or Sagittarius, you will really feel the urge to strike out on a new path.

Mercury stations retrograde in 8 degrees of Capricorn on December 13, 2023.  This Mercury retrograde is a bit different because it occurs in two signs.  Mercury slips back into Sagittarius on December 23, 2023.  When Mercury is in Sagittarius, it can have a major impact on travel.  And since Mercury retrograde will be in Sagittarius on Christmas Day, try to keep the political discussions to a minimum to avoid major conflict and upsets.  A retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius is best utilized by reexamining our flexibility, adjusting our opinions and engaging in some humor.  Humor is one of the best traits of Sagittarius.  

The year 2023 actually began with a Mercury retrograde and stationed direct in 8 degrees of Capricorn on January 18, 2023.  Mercury in Capricorn will be favorably trining Jupiter in 5 degrees of Taurus on December 18.  This is a real feel-good transit which augurs well for making plans and experiencing more joy.  On December 21, Mercury in Capricorn will be forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 2 degrees of Pisces.  This can actually have us questioning our commitments and responsibilities.  Perhaps we decide that we have overextended ourselves and we need to scale back for our higher good.

The really good news is that Mercury stations direct in 22 degrees of Sagittarius on January 1, 2024.  What a great way to start the New Year of 2024.  Mercury in Sagittarius is very future-oriented and gives us a real boost in terms of a fresh start for implementing plans for the upcoming year.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading with me. And don't forget that an astrological reading makes a very thoughtful holiday gift.

Mars Squares Neptune Take Two and a Shift to More Mutable Energy with the Sun and a New Moon in Sagittarius







 

We are still standing and surviving as we near the end of Scorpio season.  Miraculously, we have survived the latest round of eclipses in Scorpio and Taurus that occurred on October 25 and November 8.  Granted, the dust is still clearing but we are coming out of these powerhouse eclipses stronger and ready for transformation.  The Phoenix is rising from the ashes! On a personal level, I experienced the full spectrum.  The Solar Eclipse on October 25 in 2 degrees of Scorpio conjuncted my natal Neptune in Libra and Mercury in Scorpio in my 1st house and I contracted COVID for the second time.  But by the time the Lunar Eclipse in 16 degrees of Taurus opposing my Sun in Scorpio and squaring my Mars in Aquarius happened on November 8, I was feeling much better so that eclipse literally cleared the decks for me and removed what I no longer needed. I still have a little cough and some fatigue but I am on the road to recovery and rebirth.  COVID, be gone!

On November 19, retrograde Mars in Gemini is squaring Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces for the second time.  The first time was on October 11 when both planets were in 23 degrees of their respective signs.  Mars was direct back then and Neptune was retrograde.  Now both planets are retrograde, but Neptune will be stationing direct on December 3.  This will not be an easy day because there will be plenty of lies, deceit and a foggy vibe.  False information and inaccurate news will run rampant as feelings of confusion, frustration and disillusionment will prevail.  It doesn't help that the Sun is still in Scorpio during this time.  Try to look at it as the last remnants of eclipse season.  If you have any pressing health issues, please attend to them at this time.  We will get another hit of Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces on March 14, 2023 but both planets will be direct then.  And this could be easier because I subscribe to the theory that the third time is the charm with recurring aspects.

I know that I say it every year, but I am thrilled that the Sun is finally going to say sayonara to Scorpio on November 22.  There is just so much intensity that even a heavy-duty Scorpio can endure.  Before the Sun leaves Scorpio, it forms a beautiful and flowing trine to Jupiter in 28 degrees of Pisces on November 20.  This will help us to sense the light that is around and release old attachments and resentments.  Scorpio is a sign renowned for its resentments and grudges, but Jupiter is very comfortable in Pisces and can be quite compassionate and sensitive.  So the Scorpio Sun can go out on a high note.  This will also reactivate the energy we experienced on April 12 when Jupiter and Neptune were conjunct in 23 degrees of Pisces.  So Jupiter in Pisces can really complete its mission of blessing us with a more spiritual understanding of life.

The Sun will move into the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius on November 22.  It will join Venus and Mercury, who entered Sagittarius on the 16th and 17th of November. Passion, an increased sense of optimism, enthusiasm and an empowered state of being will be the new way of life for the next month. Our focus will be more outward directed as we seek more of an awareness of the world around us and attempt to see the big picture.  It's a major shift from the intensely focused and private fixed watery Scorpio energy.  Vive la difference!

We will really hit our stride with the Sagittarius vibe on November 23, 2022 with the New Moon in 1 degree of Sagittarius.  Just take a look at that chart; it's what I call a mutable mash.  The Sun, Mercury and Venus have left Scorpio for Sagittarius, Mars is in Gemini, Neptune, Jupiter and Juno are in Pisces, Ceres is in Virgo and even the Ascendant for the time of the New Moon, 5:57 p.m., is in Gemini.  Okay, we still have Uranus in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius and the Nodes in Taurus and Scorpio, but we finally have some room to breathe and set our intentions for that new reality. New Moons are a perfect time to set our intentions for the future and Sagittarius is a very future-oriented sign. Jupiter is still in Pisces, but it is forming an out-of-sign and element trine to both the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius which can grant us some luck in moving forward.

Jupiter is moving stationary direct in 28 degrees of Pisces on the New Moon, which makes it even more powerful.  It increases our vision for a bigger future.  Freedom and truth will be major themes on the New Moon with Jupiter going direct in Pisces.  Jupiter is finishing up its run in Pisces and will leave for good to cruise through Aries on December 20, 2022.  Just be mindful of the shadow side of Jupiter in Pisces and don't get caught up in a need for escapism or overindulgence.  This should be a pleasant time as the eclipse energy is cleared.

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, especially now that we are in eclipse season. 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?

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 in order to practice social distancing. I no longer have my Brookline office, 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:

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 necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. 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!

Sagittarius Season Kicks off as We Experience a New Moon in Sagittarius, Venus Enters Capricorn and Neptune Stations Direct




The sun is moving into Sagittarius on November 22, 2019 and the astrological vibe is about to completely shift after a month of Scorpio intensity.  But Mars just entered Scorpio on November 19, 2019, when I tweeted:
And Mercury is still in Scorpio but it stationed direct on November 20, 2019 when I tweeted:
We are getting a bit of a break from the Scorpio laser-like focus and intensity however when the sun enters Sagittarius.  Prepare to feel more joyful, feel more comfortable expressing faith and have a more optimistic view of the world as we are more able to look at the big picture.  And don’t forget about laughing, either, because Sagittarius is renowned for its sense of humor.

On November 24, 2019 Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in 28 degrees of Sagittarius.  This is very positive energy for attracting money, success and recognition.  It can also bring good luck and happiness because these two planets are known as the Benefics.  This conjunction could also bring new romantic partners. This is the last day of Venus in Sagittarius, so make the most of it.  
We also have Mars in 3 degrees of Scorpio opposing Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus on November 24, 2019 and this is definitely a wild card aspect.  Mars opposing Uranus is impatient and has an accident prone quality. Uranus in Taurus has an increased likelihood of earthquakes and volcanoes.  But the silver lining of this aspect is the potential for sudden opportunities and new ways to do old things. 

Venus enters Capricorn on November 25, 2019 where it stays until December 20, 2019.  Venus in Capricorn is much more serious than Venus in Sagittarius.  It has a heavier vibe as we assume a more responsible attitude towards relationships, finances, value and creativity.  It could also be an opportunity for getting boundaries under control in our relationships since Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.

On November 26, 2019 we have a new moon in 4 degrees of Sagittarius.  New moons always represent an opportunity to set new intentions.  A new moon in Sagittarius is an optimistic time to plant the seeds for new beginnings and lift our visions.  This new moon falls in my second house and I am definitely up for setting some new intentions regarding my values and finances.

Uranus in Taurus is heavily aspected on this new moon. This continues a theme that began with last month’s new moon in Scorpio opposing Uranus in Taurus. Both the sun and moon in Sagittarius are inconjunct Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus and this has a major theme of breaking free.  There will be an air of excitement and awakening as we seek to get rid of stale routines in our lives and feel compelled to take more risks.  Try looking at this Uranus energy as an opportunity to face our fears, learn something new and break through to another level.  We could literally feel like we are being pushed out of our comfort zone, which is not a bad thing. I like to think of it as an exercise in developing your north node, which has always felt to me like pushing out of your comfort zone. For many years I was totally uncomfortable with having a north node in Capricorn, but I have slowly learned to embrace it and stretch out of my comfort zone. Be open to new ideas and don’t be afraid to make those ideas an adventure in expanding your consciousness and living a bigger life. Venus may have moved into Capricorn by the new moon but it is still conjunct Jupiter at the end of Sagittarius, and they are both trining Uranus in Taurus.  This can be a beneficial influence for financial improvement and romantic opportunities.  I have my natal Venus trining Uranus, so I am quite familiar with its ability to attract good fortune out of the blue.

Neptune stations direct in 15 degrees of Pisces on November 27, 2019 after having been retrograde since June 21, 2019.  Isn’t it ironic that summer started with Neptune retrograde?  Now that Neptune is awakening from it slumber and coming out of its fog, let’s use its direct motion to work on those insights that were revealed during its retrograde period.  And don’t forget that when a planet is stationary, its energy is intensified, so don’t be surprised if your dreams are particularly intense at this time.  I’d also like to echo what astrologer Pam Gregory said about using Neptune being direct to choose a more perfect reality.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I am now offering short telephone astrology consultations for 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a new 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.

Since I love to talk astrology and believe in making it more available to everyone, I am now offering pay by the minute astrology readings through Click 4Advisor.  Check it out at:




This might be the perfect way for you to get a taste of what astrology can do for you in terms of providing insight into your life during these challenging time.  Obviously the 30 minute readings are the best deal, but you might be surprised by how much you learn in 10 minutes or less from a brief glance at your chart. If I am not available you can always request a callback and I will respond quickly.

My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter at:


A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice.

Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose coaching training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach.  It was an intense, eye-opening experience that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life.  But I left it with feelings of hope and light for the future that I want to share with others.  To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose Coaching to my menu of services.  You can read more about it at:


As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation of the north node by sign. If you are feeling stuck and need some help in getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive changes in your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a good fit for this program.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in Newton, MA.  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.
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.

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.  I am also offering Reiki treatments at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday afternoons.  Recently I have added online booking for my Sunday clients on my site.  Check it out at:

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:
