What does
Mars squaring Pluto feel like? It is
very powerful and aggressive energy that can bring out our anger and desire to
gain control over others or situations. It’s got a very motivational vibe. Disagreements are bound to crop up, but it
does represent an opportunity to release tension and make changes. It can also manifest as our enemies appearing
to be stronger. The trick to surviving
and thriving with this aspect is to NOT try too hard to be in control because that
can definitely backfire on us. We need
to be mindful of the fact that change is inevitable but we don’t have to
alienate everyone in the process. I know, it’s easier said than done…
On October
23, the Sun enters the fixed water sign of Scorpio. Whoever coined the phrase “Still
waters run deep” must have either been a Scorpio or known one. I confess that I love this time of year
because I am a November Scorpio. When the
Sun is in Scorpio, nothing is superficial or light. I recently had a personal astrology
consultation and my astrologer told me flat out that Scorpios don’t do
fluff! Truer words were never spoken!
The Sun
transiting the sign of Scorpio denotes a time to dig up what is buried and
bring it to the surface for transformation, which is Scorpio’s credo for
living. It’s time to face our fears and demons but we will have the emotional courage
and tenacity to do it. Depth, intimacy
and extremes of feeling run rampant while the Sun is in Scorpio. We are headed
for a time when we will be feeling provocative, passionate, and strong-willed
with a heaping dose of major intensity. There
is definitely a shadow side to Scorpio and it entails jealousy, resentment,
vindictiveness and manipulation. Believe
me, you don’t want to get on the bad side of a Scorpio, because those stingers can
hurt. Scorpio is an incredibly loyal
friend, but it is also the most dangerous enemy in the world because a Scorpio doesn’t
forget or forgive easily.
If this
energy sounds too heavy for you to bear, rejoice in the knowledge that the two
Greater Benefic Planets (Venus and Jupiter) are joining in a supportive sextile
on October 28. Relief is in sight! Venus
in 22 degrees of Sagittarius is forming an exact sextile to Jupiter in 22
degrees of Aquarius; this aspect will ease the tensions that have been building
recently and create a party vibe that inspires us to feel happier and share our
good feelings with others. Sagittarius
and Aquarius are very social, extroverted signs, so make the most of this
feel-good transit. Don’t be afraid to
reach out and get in touch with people.
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. I have recently
added a new offering to my astrological services menu. 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?
Check out
my menu of services at:

I am also
offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime,
Skype or Zoom. Please feel free to

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.
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:

for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7. Or you can send a contribution using Zelle

Additionally,
I am 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. 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. The Delta strain of the virus is very serious and we need
to remain vigilant with our masks, even if we are fully vaccinated. 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!
