Mercury, Mars and Jupiter Stir the Pot in the Week Between Eclipses

 





Well, we are in that awkward week between eclipses.  We had a Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 12 and the next one will be a Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on August 28. In the meantime, Mercury in Leo, Mars in Cancer and Jupiter are playing.  Mercury recently entered Leo on August 9 and Mars entered Cancer on August 11.

On August 15, Mercury and Jupiter are conjunct in 10 degrees of Leo.  This is a real feel-good aspect that can bring good news, optimism, generosity and expansive thinking.  We are definitely seeing the big picture.  Communication could have a dramatic flair and be somewhat exaggerated.  Just be mindful not to promise more than you can deliver and it should be a highly enjoyable day.

Mars in Cancer starts acting up on August 16 when it is inconjunct Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius.  This can make us act compulsively as our need for power and control has the potential to undermine .us.  It also has a strong theme of power struggles.  Mars and Pluto are heavy hitters and they are definitely not comfortable when they are 150 degrees apart.  Try not to manipulate people on this day.  Hidden feelings are getting churned up, and it might be best to reflect on them before acting as inconjuncts tend to require some adjustments.  Don't ignore emotional upsets though because you could experience headaches, muscle tightness or digestive issues.  Another possible manifestation is the tendency to drift away from social connections that don't feel right.

We have a mixed bag astrologically speaking on August 17. Mars in Cancer is squaring Neptune in 4 degrees of Aries.  This creates tension between drive to act and a fog of illusion by playing out in confusion, deception, lies and lack of faith.  Our energy levels could be lowered too.  It's much easier to feel overwhelmed by stress with Mars squaring Neptune.  And try not to make any major decisions now because our judgment is somewhat foggy now. There is also a tendency to play the martyr or savior role.  But Mars squaring Neptune can spur our creativity, so run with it if you feel so inspired.

Venus in Libra is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 10 degrees of Leo on the 17th.  It's always fun when the two benefic planets get together.  This highlights themes of growth, good fortune, and socializing.  If you are single, get out there and mingle because you could meet someone new when the planets associated with love and luck hang out.  Travel (associated with Jupiter) is also possible, so don't rule out a short trip. It could be quite enjoyable and a welcome break. Charm and social ease are flowing freely on this day.  Just be mindful not to overindulge because there literally can be too much of a good thing.  Sextiles are considered to be positive aspects because they bring opportunities but you need to act on them to reap the benefits they present. Otherwise, if you snooze, you lose with sextiles.

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:

October Kicks Off on an Edgy Note with a Full Moon in Aries and Mercury Entering Scorpio


 

The quiet period is over, folks.  We had a somewhat peaceful week astrologically after the last eclipse on September 21, but the month of October is off to a bit of a rocky start.  This could be the most turbulent week of the month, so hang in there.  I promise you it won't be as raucous as September.

On October 6, we have a Super Full Moon in 14 degrees of Aries.  Aries is the sign associated with the phrase I AM.  Aries loves to live in the moment and likes to be its own inner authority.  Aries is not known for its patience, either.  It wants everything now.  One of the main themes these days that I have been hearing from friends and clients is that people are impatient.  From an astrological perspective, we need to accept that there are a lot of planets retrograde these days: Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn.  This has been an unusually active, back and forth type of year because Saturn has already moved from Aries back into Pisces, Neptune is still in Aries but is moving back into Pisces on October 22 and while Uranus is in Gemini, it is moving back into Taurus on November 7.  We have had a taste of what the future holds, but the real changes won't manifest until 2026.  Saturn and Neptune have been moving together, but they won't be conjunct until February 20, 2026, so all I can say is that be patient about making those dreams a reality until then.  Neptune will be back in Aries on January 26, 2026 and Saturn will re-enter Aries on February 13, 2026. I know it is easier said than done...

What other aspects are in play on the Full Moon?  Mars in 9 degrees of Scorpio is forming a rather challenging aspect called a quindecile (165 degrees apart) with Chiron in 25 of Aries.  This can make us rather passionate and angry about our wounds.  It is an aspect associated with compulsion and obsession, as well as hidden psychological drives.  The Sun in Libra is also forming a quindecile with Neptune in 0 degrees of Aries, which can cause us to want to withdraw, step back and detach.  The saving grace aspect of this Full Moon is Jupiter in 23 degrees of Cancer trining Saturn in 27 degrees of Pisces. This can encourage cautious building for the future, as well as the themes of self-care and nurturing others.

Mercury is entering Scorpio on October 6 until October 29.  But we have an upcoming Mercury retrograde that will start in Sagittarius on November 9 and re-enter Scorpio on November 18 through December 11.  But Mercury in Scorpio will be squaring Pluto in Aquarius on the Full Moon and on October 7, so we can expect some secrets to be revealed.

When Mercury is in Scorpio, decisions are going to be deeply researched. Words can be dark, spiteful and manipulative.  It is a very tenacious and stubborn vibe; what else can you expect from a fixed water sign?  I say this with all honesty because I have my natal Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio.  The plus side of Mercury in Scorpio is its resourcefulness and adeptness at solving problems.  It is indeed a time to face uncomfortable truths.

We get a break on October 8 when Venus in Virgo is forming an exact supportive sextile to Jupiter in 23 degrees of Cancer.  This will create an atmosphere that is pleasant, loving, creative and fortunate.  It is a very social vibe.  It's entirely possible to meet new lovers or friends.  Just watch out for a tendency towards excess with food and drink.

A Much Quieter Week Astrologically with Venus in Aries and Mercury in Gemini Taking the Stage




 

Now that we are in the process of adjusting to the shift of Saturn being in Aries, which it entered on May 24, we can do little coasting until Venus, Mercury and Jupiter change signs before the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11.  We also had a rather delightful New Moon in Gemini on May 26 which featured a conjunction involving the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Gemini and supportive sextiles to Neptune and Saturn in Aries.  Mercury moved into Gemini on May 25. Basically, most of the action in the coming week involves Venus and Mercury.

The month of June commences on the 1st with a conjunction between Venus and Chiron in 25 degrees of Aries.  This is probably the most challenging aspect that we will face this week.  Venus conjunct Chiron urges us to find the courage to confront our wounds and face our hurt feelings.  We might find ourselves dealing with some changes in relationships.  Try to have some empathy for those who have hurt you, which may be easier said than done. Just remember that the only way out is through while trying to choose love over fear. Of course this aspect will have a stronger impact on those who have planets or points in the late degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.  Once again, I am right in the line of fire.  This conjunction falls in my 7th house and opposes my Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra in my 1st house while squaring my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house as well as my Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house. It could very well prove to be an interesting day for me...

Venus in Aries is really kicking up its heels on June 4 when it forms a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 28 degrees of Gemini.  Venus and Jupiter are known as benefic planets and a sextile aspect can bring opportunities for good luck and growth. This is really nice energy for partying, relaxing, socializing and making money.  It's also a perfect dating vibe, so if you are single and looking for a partner, by all means get out there and mingle. Just be mindful not to overindulge or overspend because Jupiter does have a tendency to expand whatever it touches and go overboard.  Jupiter's philosophy is that you can never have too much of a good thing.

On the following day, June 5, Mercury in Gemini will be sextiling Mars in 23 degrees of Leo.  This will speed up our minds and reflexes.  Mercury is right at home in Gemini, one of the two signs it rules (the other is Virgo) and it is quite literally fueling Mars in Leo so that we can achieve a great deal on this day.  Mercury sextiling Mars provides courage, ambition while emphasizing directness and honesty.  We can absorb new information faster than usual and our words have more power.  It can also facilitate setting boundaries in relationships.  It is really a win-win day, so make the most of it.

Mars Enters Pisces, Eclipse Season Kicks off with a Lunar Eclipse in Libra and Venus Makes Some Moves


 

We have an action packed, highly emotional week coming up.  On March 22, Mars leaves the fixed air sign of Aquarius to swim into the mutable water sign of Pisces until April 30.  Mars in Pisces is motivated by spiritual and emotional drives.  It's a very different vibe from Mars in Aquarius, which is motivated by humanitarian goals and principles.  Mars in Pisces is a time to be a spiritual warrior when compassion rules.  It is still Mars, so there is a dynamic component and it can also inspire bouts of creativity.  Mars is joining Saturn, Neptune and Venus in Pisces.  Venus has been quite busy lately and it shows no sign of stopping.

On March 24, Venus in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Taurus.  This is a real feel-good vibe which holds the promise of good luck, generosity and is quite favorable for love relationships.  After all, Venus and Jupiter are known as benefics, so when the two of them meet up, a good time can be had by all.  We could be receiving gifts or money.  It's also a time to up your self-care game.  The only potential drawback with this aspect is a tendency towards excess, as in too much of a good thing.  

The first eclipse of 2024 is here on March 25 with a penumbral or partial Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees of Libra.  Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons on steroids and their effects can be felt about six weeks before and after they occur.  This is a South Node eclipse because the South Node of the Moon is in 15 degrees of Libra and it represents an ending or culmination period. It forces us to ask what we need to leave behind.  Something might have started with the Solar Eclipse in 20 degrees of Libra on October 14, 2023 that is being resolved or released now.

A Lunar Eclipse in Libra has a strong theme of relationship patterns.  We could be ready to release some people-pleasing, codependent and enabling habits that are no longer serving us or those we love.  If you have any planets or points (like an Ascendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) within 3 degrees of the Lunar Eclipse in 5 degrees in Libra or in the remaining cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer or Capricorn, you will definitely be feeling the effects of this eclipse.  This eclipse is squaring my North Node in Capricorn and my South Node in Cancer, so I sense that I am quite literally at a crossroad between my past and present. This eclipse is also trining Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius, so there is no escaping a deep dive into relationship dynamics for the purpose of transformation.

Another theme with this eclipse is that of adjustments.  The Moon in Libra will be forming an irritating inconjunct to Saturn in Pisces. Nobody likes inconjuncts, especially when Saturn is involved.  Saturn is associated with restrictions, a certain amount of reserve and withholding, as well as requiring some hard work.  But it can also reward us for a lesson well-learned if we are willing to make the effort.

Venus in Pisces has another game in motion for us on March 28 when it forms a supportive sextile to Uranus in 20 degrees of Taurus.  We could be in the mood for fun and excitement in our social life and in our love relationships.  Freedom and independence become more important to us.  It is an ideal time to make new friends and possibly meet a new lover if we are unattached.  Just don't expect much stability in any relationship that starts under a Venus-Uranus aspect.  But don't be afraid to embrace something different and unusual. Venus sextiling Uranus can also bring unexpected opportunities for money too.  Venus is also associated with money and we could have some delightful surprises in store for us.

Venus is Calling the Shots as it Gets Busy with Pluto and Moves into Aquarius


 

Venus is really calling the shots in terms of launching the year 2023.  Right out of the gate on January 1 (Happy New Year) Venus and Pluto hook up in 27 degrees of Capricorn.  When Venus and Pluto meet up in this fashion, we can definitely expect more emotional intensity as our needs for love and affection become stronger.  We are craving more depth in our relationships.  This aspect also gives us more power to attract partners. For me, this conjunction falls in my 4th house conjuncting my natal Chiron in Capricorn and opposes my Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Cancer in my 10th house while squaring my natal Neptune in Libra in my 1st house.  I suppose I should be grateful that it also forms supportive sextiles to my Venus and Ceres in Scorpio.  This should be interesting...

On January 2, Venus moves into the fixed air sign of Aquarius, where it resides until January 26.  Venus in Aquarius.  Venus in Aquarius is attracted to more freedom, independence and unconventionality in relationships.  It is a very different animal than Venus in Capricorn.  We tend to approach relationships and our values in a more detached perspective.  It is also a time when we can meet new lovers through friends or friends can become lovers.  On the same day, the Sun in Capricorn is exactly squaring Chiron in 11 degrees of Aries.  This can uncover fears and wounds regarding our ego and life path.  Insecurities are bound to crop up and we might find ourselves attracting teachers who can help us uncover our power and heal those wounds. So don't fret over the challenge that this aspect poses because it can lead us to a really positive and healthy place.

Venus in Aquarius is forming a supportive sextile with that other benefic planet Jupiter in 1 degree of Aries on January 4, 2023.  This is a real party time vibe, which inspires feelings of good luck, generosity and a desire to schmooze and socialize.  It has a very relaxing feeling and it is a perfect time to take a vacation if you can manage it.

The Sun in Capricorn is exactly trining Uranus in 15 degrees of Taurus on January 5, which reinforces the theme of anything can happen out of the blue, but the trine aspect makes it more likely that it will be pleasant surprises in store for us.  On January 6, we have the first Full Moon of 2023 in Cancer, which I will cover in next week's post.

I want to wish all of you a Very Happy New Year.  New Year's Eve could start off on a little tense note with the Aries Moon squaring Mercury (retrograde to boot), Venus and Pluto in Capricorn but the Moon does enter Taurus at 12:08 p.m., so it should be flowing more smoothly if you have any social plans.  Taurus is ruled by Venus, don't forget.

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful holiday gift. 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!

Mars and Pluto Face Off with a Square and the Sun Enters Scorpio



Scorpio season is about to commence on October 23, but we get a little preview of that Scorpio energy on October 22 when the ruling planets of Scorpio, Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn, form an exact square in 24 degrees of their respective signs. 

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.
