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.

November is a Very Busy Month as Venus Squares Jupiter before It Goes into Scorpio, Mars Enters Sagittarius and a Full Moon in Taurus

 

November promises to be quite an active month astrologically from the get go.  On November 2, Venus in Libra squares Jupiter in 25 degrees of Cancer.  There can be a tendency to make big promises that we can't keep or to splurge on items we can't afford.  We might also be inclined to jump into new relationships without any sense of discrimination.  It is a great day for socializing but not so much for doing hard work.  Fortunately it does fall on a weekend day.  Diets can be abandoned on this day as temptation could be the ruling theme.

Mars leaves Scorpio on November 4 and moves into Sagittarius until December 5.  When Mars is in Sagittarius, we are motivated or driven to get more and we can see possibilities that we previously didn't as we approach obstacles with optimism.  We are also in the mood to take risks easily and act more impulsively.  But we can go too far.  Don't forget that Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, which loves to expand whatever it touches. It has a lighter feel than Mars in Scorpio, but it can be pretty sharp and blunt.  Mars in Sagittarius will be opposing Uranus in Gemini on that day, which can spark sudden outbursts of anger and resentment.

The Full Moon in 13 degrees of Taurus happens on November 5. A Full Moon in Taurus has themes of practicality, stability, perseverance and grounding.  But there is a need to release our need for control, which the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius don't exactly have an affinity for.  So, I am issuing a spoiler alert that anyone who has planets in 10-15 degrees of these fixed signs will feel the impact of this Full Moon.  Once again, I am in the line of fire with my Saturn in 12 degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house.

What else is going on during this Full Moon?  Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius are opposing Uranus in 0 degrees of Gemini, which can bring shocking announcements, as well as impulsive speech and action.  But there is some positive energy with this Full Moon in Taurus.  We have a Grand Water Trine involving the Sun in Scorpio, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and Jupiter in Cancer.  This influence can bring healing to relationships and foster creativity.  The Moon in Taurus is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in Cancer, which can heighten our optimism, generosity and sense of idealism. This can bring a sense of harmony to relationships.

Venus leaves one of its favorite signs of Libra (Taurus being its other favorite) on November 6 to dive into one of its least favorite signs, Scorpio, until November 30.  I can say this with all honesty because I have a natal Venus in Scorpio.  When Venus is in Scorpio, passion rules as we crave more meaningful experiences that are full of depth and intimacy.  Love can become quite obsessive when Venus is in Scorpio.  We are determined to leave no stone unturned as we shine a light on the shadows of our relationships. A reality check is coming, like it or not.  Power struggles and money issues in partnerships can surface now.  Relationships can literally be transformed at this time because emotions will be intense.  The shadow side of Venus in Scorpio involves an inability to forgive, jealousy, possessiveness, fear of betrayal and vindictiveness.  But Venus in Scorpio also has the ability to demonstrate great loyalty and devotion to its loved ones, which is no small feat.

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.

Mercury and Venus Change Signs While Neptune Goes Direct

 

We are coming off an intense Full Moon in Gemini that occurred on November 27, when I posted:

The #FullMoon in Gemini is today and it can reveal some big secrets and denote major endings. Emotions are running high so try to breathe first before saying something you might regret. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 27, 2023

I hope you all survived it because Mercury in Sagittarius was also squaring Neptune in Pisces on that day.  The big news now is that Mercury moves into Capricorn on December 1 and stays there until December 23.  But we do have a Mercury retrograde that starts on December 12 in 8 degrees of Capricorn.  Mercury is stationing retrograde right on my North Node in Capricorn in my 3rd house, so this one should be interesting, to say the least...Mercury moves back into Sagittarius on December 23 and stations direct in 22 degrees of Sagittarius on January 1, 2024.  Happy New Year! Mercury moves back into Capricorn on January 13, 2024 and stays there until February 5, 2024.

What can we expect when Mercury is transiting the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn? Our ideas are more realistic, practical and down-to-earth when Mercury is in Capricorn.  Thinking and communication can be more methodical and rational.  We will definitely be more direct in our style of communication, but not in the blunt style of Mercury in Sagittarius. However, Mercury in Sagittarius will return in time for the holidays.  But the shadow side of Mercury in Capricorn is a tendency towards rigid thinking, pessimism and an authoritarian style of getting our point across.

Venus, the other planet that travels so closely to the Sun, is getting ready to change signs too.  It makes one last major aspect when Venus in Libra squares Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn on December 3.  Venus rules Libra and is very comfortable there, but there is no doubt that Venus squaring Pluto is a challenging aspect. Venus squaring Pluto can see us questioning our worth in relationships while it is accompanied by struggle, conflict and control issues.  I can personally attest to the fact that is a tough aspect because I have it natally with my Venus in Scorpio squaring Pluto in Leo.  Venus has a bit of an edge and more power when it is in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn, so don't be surprised if there is a rebalancing of power in relationships on this day.

On December 4, Venus moves into Scorpio and stays there until December 29, 2023.  Venus is considered to be in detriment in Scorpio because Venus rules Taurus and Libra.  It will be a big change from Venus in Libra.  Venus in Scorpio is not into lightweight dating and craves deep, passionate and intense relationships.  Profound intimacy is the end game with Venus in Scorpio.  Be prepared for a roller coaster ride in your love life while Venus is cruising through Scorpio. The perk of Venus in Scorpio is that it can be good for finances, as Scorpio is associated with other people's money and the 8th house. 

Neptune stationed retrograde in 27 degrees of Pisces on June 30, 2023 and it will finally go direct in 24 degrees of Pisces on December 6, 2023.  It you have any planets from 24-27 degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, you probably felt this transit the most intensely.  I also think that if you have planets in these degrees of Cancer or Scorpio, you received a trine aspect from this transit and also felt it to some degree.  Personally, my Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer (both of which are retrograde to boot) got this transit.

When Neptune was retrograde it was a period of confusion, introspection and spiritual exploration.  It could have been a time of engaging in massive self-care.  Neptune being direct can give us more clarity after five months of digging deep.  We should have more empathy and compassion available to extend to others.  It can also be a time to manifest our dreams.

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.

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 Sun and Venus are Cazimi in Libra Before Entering Scorpio, Saturn Stations Direct and a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio

 

Scorpio season is upon us and the eclipses are coming!  Hang on for a bumpy ride but don't forget the paradox of this upcoming set of eclipses: LET GO.  Be open to the massive changes that this eclipse will bring. This is especially true because the first eclipse occurs in the sign of Scorpio and it is a South Node Eclipse, which is all about releasing the past and what no longer serves our best interests.  As a Scorpio, I can tell you first hand that fixed signs (Scorpio, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius) are extremely resistant to change unless they are the ones initiating it.

Before the actual Solar Eclipse happens on October 25, 2022 in 2 degrees of Scorpio, we have a lot of other planetary action taking place.  On October 22, the Sun and Venus are conjunct in 29 degrees of Libra.  It is being called a Cazimi and is a really big deal because these two planets are so close that they are in the heart of the Sun.  It is literally like a kiss.  Venus will not be losing its power in this Cazimi due to the fact that Venus rules Libra.  It will be setting up a new eight-year emotional cycle which has a theme of harmony and partnership.  This is very different from a Cazimi in the sign of Scorpio, which has more of a focus on the self.  I am mentioning this because even though I am a Scorpio, I have a Libra Ascendant and Venus is the ruler of my chart.  And this conjunction just happens to hit my Neptune in Libra.

Save the day of October 23 with all of the planetary action that will be going down.  The day starts off with Saturn stationing direct in 18 degrees of Aquarius.  Saturn has been retrograde since June 4th, so we can expect to see big changes in the structures of our lives.  I am sure that most of us have felt held back and that things are taking longer than they should to happen.  When a planet is stationing, either direct or retrograde, its energy is intensified for about five days before and after the date of the station.  So we can anticipate that the structures in our lives are primed to experience the changes we have been needing.  

On October 23, we are also officially launching the season of Scorpio.  Venus enters Scorpio at 3:52 a.m., where it stays until November 16.  And the Sun enters Scorpio at 6:36 a.m.  Venus is not especially comfortable in Scorpio, like it was in Libra.  Venus in Scorpio is extremely passionate and intense.  It's bound to be emotional, as it is an all or nothing sign.  The Sun in Scorpio represents a time when we focus on getting to the bottom of matters and transforming our lives.  Nothing is superficial now and secrets will be revealed.

The Solar Eclipse in 2 degrees of Scorpio occurs at 6:49 a.m.  This is showtime, folks, and we need to let go and accept the changes that are coming down the pike.  As I mentioned earlier, it is a South Node Eclipse because the South Node of the Moon is in 13 degrees of Scorpio, and this represents our collective past and what needs to be released in terms of toxicity.  Other themes that will arise with a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio are trust, betrayal issues and big money. Don't forget that Scorpio is the sign of other people's money.  Full disclosure and secrets will come to light as a result of this eclipse.  I am a bit apprehensive about this eclipse because the South Node in Scorpio is conjunct my natal Saturn in Scorpio and the eclipse is conjunct my Mercury in Scorpio.

Uranus in 17 degrees of Taurus is also conjunct the North Node in Taurus, so we are probably going to be feeling a push towards a new financial system.  The Moon in Scorpio is inconjunct Jupiter in 0 degrees of Aries, indicating that we will probably need to make some adjustments in our expectations for the future.  The eclipse is also conjunct Venus in 2 degrees of Scorpio, further emphasizing the potential for changes in love and finances.  Mercury in Libra is also inconjunct Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces on the Solar Eclipse, underscoring the potential for revealing hidden secrets.  And let's not forget the ruler of Scorpio, the planet Pluto, which is now direct.  Pluto is in 26 degrees of Capricorn, and is still within the orb of a square with this eclipse.  This continues the theme of secrets, espionage and big reveals.  

I would also like to bring up that the last time we had a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio was on October 23, 2014.  It was in 0 degrees of Scorpio and many of us could find ourselves revisiting themes or paths that we began back then.  Ukraine had a revolution in 2014 that culminated in the ousting of the pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych.  I don't think that is a coincidence that Ukraine is involved in another war with Russia in 2022.  

The Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25 represents a fresh start but that involves releasing part of the past and a big purge.  I cannot emphasize this enough.  We all want change, but letting go of the security of the past can be downright scary.  We need to be strong, though and move forward. Our desires will be strong and I suspect that money and values will factor heavily in this astrological climate.  

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.

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.
