Save the
date of August 22 because it will be a momentous day because of two very
special events. The first is a Blue Full
Moon in 29 degrees of Aquarius occurring at 8:02 a.m. It is called a Blue Moon because it is the
second Full Moon in Aquarius this year.
The first one happened on July 23rd in 1 degree of
Aquarius. The second major event that
day is the Sun moving into Virgo at 5:35 p.m.
The Full
Moon falls in the critical or anaretic degree of 29. The themes of an Aquarian Full Moon pertain
to truth, freedom and rebellion. The
Moon also conjuncts retrograde Jupiter in 26 degrees of Aquarius, which
indicates that there is potential for us to be emotionally generous and come
together with like-minded people in a quest for justice. There is no doubt that
there will be big emotional reactions to this Full Moon. Having Jupiter in the mix at this Full Moon
could trigger inflation economically. We
also need to keep in mind that there is a three day window for big emotional
reactions to play out: the day of the Full Moon, as well as the day before and
the day after.
It’s no
secret that we currently have a lot of planets retrograde now: Jupiter, Saturn,
Pluto, Neptune, Chiron and now Uranus in Taurus. Uranus stationed retrograde in 14 degrees of
Taurus on August 18, when I tweeted:
Uranus is a
major player in this Full Moon. For
starters, it is the ruling planet of Aquarius.
But the fact that it stationed retrograde four days before the Full Moon
intensifies its energy. It is no
accident that the news is about an earthquake in Haiti and the upheaval in Afghanistan. Whenever a planet stations retrograde or
direct, its power is magnified for approximately one week before and after the
station. Mars in Virgo also trines Uranus in Taurus on the Full Moon, which
only adds to the volatility. I loved what
astrologer Penny Thornton said about Uranus in her latest video about this Full
Moon: learn to live with uncertainty and manage our circumstances by living in
the moment. We have no other rational choice
these days. Uranus is not very happy in
the sign of Taurus, so I suspect that we will continue to experience extreme
weather like earthquakes, sudden events and structural changes. And we could
see some changes in technology with Uranus as a major factor in this Full
Moon. I hope it doesn’t happen, but I
wouldn’t be surprised if some cyberattacks were launched. Uranus is breaking things down to break
through to a new level of freedom and it is definitely not the most comfortable
or smoothest ride. When Uranus
stationed retrograde, it was exactly squaring my Mars in Aquarius, so I certainly
felt its impact.
The Full
Moon conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius also contains a positive theme of human
rights and justice. It is also forcing
us to reflect on the New Moon in 23 degrees of Aquarius that occurred on
February 11, 2021. Don’t be surprised if
events from back then need to be addressed in your personal life. Mercury in 18 degrees of Virgo is opposing
Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces on the Full Moon, so there could be some more
news about COVID emerging. Don’t forget
that Full Moons shed light on matters as well as providing culmination. In the United States they have already
announced that a third booster shot is recommended for the COVID vaccine. COVID
was raging back in February and this Delta variant has sent us in a downward
spiral in terms of controlling the virus.
But another favorable aspect that we have on the Full Moon is Venus in 7
degrees of Libra trining Saturn in 8 degrees of Aquarius. This is a very positive influence for
relationships. Venus entered its happy
place on August 16 and on that day I tweeted:
The Moon
moves into Pisces at 8:43 a.m. on August 22 and then the Sun moves into Virgo
at 5:35 p.m. When the Sun is in Virgo,
we will shift our focus to taking care of practical concerns and details. It’s time to get organized and also to tend
to health matters. I have always thought
it was very appropriate and fitting that Virgo is the sign associated with back
to school season. The emphasis will shift from air and fire to water and
earth. We are going to be feeling and
doing things with this planetary energy. Virgo loves to accomplish and is very
task-oriented. Just be mindful that the
shadow side of Virgo is a tendency to be judgmental or critical as it strives
for perfectionism and we should thrive with this transit of the Sun.

curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you
personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very

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. At some point,
probably in 2022, I will find a new space to practice. In the meantime, 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. This new 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!
