The Pace Picks Up with a Full Moon in Aries, Mars Enters Leo and Mercury Moves into Scorpio

 

The month of September is ending on a highly charged vibration during its last week.  We have a Full Moon in 3 degrees of Aries on September 26.  A Full Moon in Aries has themes of personal courage, independence and initiative.  It also involves the whole we vs. me narrative in relationships as we examine where we over- compromise in relationships and find a balance in terms of asserting our needs.

This particular Full Moon in Aries is more complicated because it is conjunct Neptune in 3 degrees of Aries.  It can play out as spiritual reflections or a real smoke and mirror act complete with illusions and rose-colored glasses. The bottom line with this Full Moon conjunct Neptune is that we need to trust our intuition and the unknown.  More could be revealed as this Full Moon in Aries meeting up with Neptune shines a light on matters previously hidden.  There is a great deal of fire energy present: the Moon, Neptune in Aries, Saturn in Aries and Chiron back in Aries until April 2027.  This can definitely provide us with more self-understanding and insight.  But there could also be tests in partnerships and connections as well as differences of opinion during this Full Moon.

Mars is in 29 degrees of Cancer on this Full Moon and this is considered to be the critical or anaretic degree.  It is the ruling planet of this Full Moon.  Mars in Cancer is very protective energy. Emotions have been stirred up to a fever pitch and there could be some tension released as it squares Chiron in 29 degrees of Aries. Chiron in Aries is putting the final touches on unfinished business that started in 2018.  It is also asking us what progress have we made to heal the past.  Mars in Cancer is also squaring Mercury in 24 degrees of Libra which could bring us a new level of awareness of healing.  There is a strong theme of completion associated with this Full Moon and time for a new story to begin.  We could also be feeling like something has to give.  Mars in the last degree of Cancer can also result in flooding and the New England area is predicted to have record rain downfalls this weekend.

There are some positive astrological aspects to be considered with this Full Moon.  It sextiles Uranus in 5 degrees of Gemini and Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius.  We can be seeing people in a new way, which can leave us feeling empowered to make changes so that we can move forward.  We also have a Grand Air Trine involving the Sun in Libra, Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini.  This can manifest as disruptions and collective shifts but major transformation is facilitated.

On the following day, September 27, Mars enters Leo until November 25.  This is a massive change from Mars in Cancer: we are going to feel bolder and freer as we are motivated to be ourselves. There is no more passive-aggressive energy at play now.   Mars in Leo fuels our courage, passion, creativity and confidence.  We feel driven to take action now as we are not afraid to be seen and move forward. We are feeling some pressure to move forward as Mars in Leo creates a fixed T-square with Pluto in Aquarius and Venus in Scorpio until mid-October.  T-squares are nothing if not energizing.

The month of September closes out with Mercury entering Scorpio on September 30.  And it will be a long transit until December 6 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde on October 24.  When Mercury is in Scorpio, communication will get more intense, probing and potentially sarcastic.  I have a natal Mercury in Scorpio and I have often mused that Mercury in Scorpio is definitely a verbal lethal weapon.

What else can we expect with Mercury in Scorpio?  Our decision-making process can be compulsive, obsessive and stubborn as it is a fixed water sign but we are more adept at research now.  Deeper insights are possible as is the potential for mental stress.  The shadow side of Mercury in Scorpio is a tendency towards seeking revenge, so be mindful of that during this long transit.

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.

Pluto Goes Direct in Capricorn, Mercury in Scorpio, Sun Square Mars, A Super-Charged Full Moon in Aries and Venus in Sagittarius

 

We have an extraordinarily active week ahead of us astrologically.  It starts on October 11 when Pluto moves into direct motion in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  Pluto has been retrograde since May 2, when it stationed retrograde in 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto is entering its last phase of its journey through Capricorn as it prepares for its entrance into Aquarius on November 19 until 2043.  Now that Pluto is moving ahead in the anaretic or critical degree of Capricorn, we can feel freer to reshape the structures in our lives.  It is important for us to remember not to fear the important changes in our lives.  Changes are coming whether we like it or not. But the shadow side of Pluto at the end of Capricorn is that we might be dealing with last ditch attempts at power grabs to hold on to some old and outworn structures. Politically, this could get quite ugly in the coming weeks, especially with the elections in the United States.

Mercury is entering the fixed water sign of Scorpio on October 13 until November 2.  Mercury in Scorpio is an excellent placement for engaging in research because it is so probing and intense.  There is a strong desire to uncover hidden truths and our conversations will be deep.  There is also the potential for seething, anger and spite to emerge over past grievances.  Scorpio is a sign renowned for its ability to hold a grudge and never forget a past wrong.  I have my natal Mercury in Scorpio in addition to my Sun, Saturn and Venus, so I am very familiar with this vibe.

The Sun in Libra will be exactly squaring Mars in 21 degrees of Cancer on October 14. The heads up on this aspect is that we can expect a certain amount of irritability, impatience, recklessness and impulsiveness. Don't be surprised if challenging events and people force you to defend your goals or desires.  Watch out for a build-up of anger, resentment and possible sexual frustration.  Despite the fact that this aspect falls in cardinal signs, which love to initiate action, the best way to cope with this energy is to be defensive, not offensive.  Of course, this aspect is a big lead-up to the Full Moon in Aries on October 17 because Mars rules the sign of Aries.

There is a Super Full Moon in 24 degrees of Aries on October 17.  It is extremely close to the earth and also figures into a Cardinal Grand Cross involving the Sun in Libra, the Moon and Chiron in Aries, Mars in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn.  We will all experience emotional intensity and power issues galore.  But anyone with planets or points (and this means Ascendant, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) in 24-29 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will feel the brunt of this Full Moon.

How is this going to play out?  For starters, the Full Moon in Aries will be conjunct Chiron in 21 degrees of Aries.  This is bound to be emotionally wounding.  And the Moon in 24 degrees of Aries is squaring Mars in 22 degrees of Cancer, so the levels of anger can be palpable.  The Full Moon in Aries is also squaring Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn, which can set the stage for compulsive and destructive behavior.  Emotional power struggles are highly likely.  But the Moon squaring Pluto can ultimately lead to transformation of emotional behavior in relationships if we remain open to it.  The saving grace aspect of this Full Moon in Aries is the supportive sextile that it forms to Jupiter (newly retrograde since October 9) in 21 degrees of Gemini. This can bring us more optimism, generosity and idealism.  We'll take it...

Venus leaves Scorpio at 3:28 p.m. on October 17 and enters Sagittarius, where it resides until November 11.  Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign and Venus will be more direct, light-hearted and adventurous than it was in Scorpio. We might feel like taking a chance on romance while Venus is in Sagittarius.

A Super Full Moon in Aries and Mercury Enters Libra

 

Hang on folks, because we have a Super Full Moon in 6 degrees of Aries on September 29.  This is the 4th Super Moon in row because the Moon is so close to the earth.  While the Full Moon itself isn't making any major aspects to other planets, there is plenty of back story involved with the other planets.

For starters, a Full Moon in Aries is all about determination and wanting to create something new.  It is cardinal fire, don't forget that it craves action and is very dynamic.  It has a strong theme about me (Aries) vs. we (Libra). The Sun in Libra is objective while the Moon in Aries is subjective. The Moon in Aries is speedy, impatient and restless. This Full Moon will test us to find some balance between the self and others.  Full Moons typically represent endings, closure and completion.  This one has that theme emphasized because Mars in 21 degrees of Libra is conjunct the South Node of the Moon in 25 degrees of Libra and the South Node represents our past.  Mars in Libra generally wants to reach compromise, but it could drain the lunar energy of that Aries Moon. Mars conjunct the South Node can bring up power issues too because the Nodes of the Moon in Aries and Libra are squaring Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn. Mars in Libra was opposing Chiron in 18 degrees of Aries on September 24, which opened up old emotional wounds for healing but could have created some angry scenes.  Pluto in Capricorn squaring the Nodes indicates that massive changes are underway, and we have to decide if we want to be a victim or become empowered. I don't usually work with Eris, the goddess of discord, but the North Node in 25 degrees of Aries is conjunct Eris in 24 degrees of Aries, which can only bring anger and contentious vibes to the mix.  It bears repeating that the North Node in Aries wants action.  The Sun in 6 degrees of Libra is conjunct Pallas in 7 degrees of Libra, and this can be quite positive in terms of helping us with strategy and diplomacy.  Pallas is the asteroid associated with the wisdom of the female spirit, and its location in a chart depicts where you can figure things out with logic, reasoning and creative understanding. It also has a warrior like spirit.  

The main aspect in the back story of this Full Moon in Aries is the exact square between Venus in 22 degrees of Leo and Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus.  This is the third time that this square has occurred: the first time was on July 2 in 21 degrees when both Venus and Uranus were direct and the second hit occurred on August 9 when Venus was retrograde and Uranus was direct in 22 degrees of their respective signs.  Now Venus is direct and Uranus is retrograde until January 26, 2024.  The bottom line with this aspect is that we can still be processing changes that have happened over the summer.  It is highly probable that many of us have experienced upheavals in relationships and finances.  I always say that it frequently takes us three times to get it right with an aspect.  Don't be surprised if you wind up needing more space and change in your relationships on this Full Moon. This is a very relationship-oriented Full Moon. Venus in Leo is also conjunct Juno, the asteroid associated with partnership, in 22 degrees of Leo.  I wouldn't be surprised if we heard about more break-ups with all of this emphasis on relationships.  

Mercury in 20 degrees of Virgo is also very active on this Full Moon.  It is opposing Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces and this can manifest as disappointment or disillusionment.  Mercury is also trining Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn, which could serve to activate something that occurred on the New Moon in 21 degrees of Virgo on September 14.  But Mercury in Virgo is also trining Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus and that can bring new ideas to the table.  

The effects of this Full Moon will also be in play on October 1 when Mars in 21 degrees of Libra is inconjunct Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus. This is a very rebellious vibe with an attitude of don't tell me what to do or else.  There is a positive spin to this energy, though, because Mercury in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn are involved in a loose Grand Earth Trine, which can bring us new ideas pertaining to finance and health.  The themes of health and wealth are emphasized.  

If you have any planets in 27-29 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, I guarantee that you will feel the intensity of this Full Moon in Aries because Pluto in Capricorn is squaring the Nodes of the Moon.

I am happy to report that as of September 30, Mercury in Virgo will clear its retrograde shadow.  On October 4, Mercury zips into the cardinal air sign of Libra until October 22.  When Mercury is in Libra, we are more diplomatic, fair, objective and rational.  Our communication is focused on attaining peace and harmony in relationships. It can be a welcome breath of fresh air after the recent Mercury retrograde and Full Moon in Aries. It is a perfect time to heal any rifts that have occurred. Just don't wind up being too nice to others or being indecisive because that is the shadow side of Mercury in Libra. Make the most of this peacekeeping transit.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading with me.

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:

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 Cardinal Signs Are Calling the Shots as Pluto Stations Direct in Capricorn, A Full Moon in Aries and Mercury Re-Enters Libra

 

We have an intense week coming up, folks.  Mercury went direct on October 2, inspiring me to tweet:

The saving grace aspect of today is Mercury FINALLY stationing direct in Virgo! There is a light at the end of the tunnel with communication and transportation snafus. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 2, 2022

Pluto will be turning around in 26 degrees of Capricorn on October 8.  Pluto has been retrograde since April 29, 2022, when it stationed retrograde in 28 degrees of Capricorn.  Pluto turning direct has a strong theme of transformation.  If you have any planets around 26 degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, mark my words that you are going to be encountering major issues pertaining to control and transformation. There could very well be  some major power plays enacted on the world stage.  It's literally going to be a breakdown to a breakthrough!  Once again, I am in the thick of things.  I have my natal Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra in my 1st house, so I am not escaping this by any means.  I also have my natal retrograde Uranus in 27 degrees of Cancer in my 10th house taking a hit.  Is it any wonder that I am an astrologer, psychic and healer with this placement?

Just remember that whenever a planet stations it is in a very powerful position and its effect will be intensified.  So the power planet is stationing direct and we need to be careful...

On October 9, we have a Full Moon in 16 degrees of Aries that will definitely ratch up the emotional intensity level with the effects of the Pluto station still present.  Full Moons tend to be a time of closure, completion and big reveals.  Pluto in Capricorn could be revealing some secrets on this Full Moon. Think back to the New Moon in 11 degrees of Aries on April 1, 2022.  Is anything coming to a cycle of completion for you?  This Full Moon in Aries is also conjunct Chiron in 14 degrees of Aries, indicating that themes of illness, health, healing and old wounds could surface.  Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus is also conjunct the North Node in 15 degrees in Taurus, which could see us dealing with financial turbulence for the next couple of months.  We are headed into eclipse season, with a Solar Eclipse in 2 degrees of Scorpio on October 25 and a Lunar Eclipse on November 8 in 16 degrees of Taurus.  The signs of Taurus and Scorpio are money signs and with the South Node in Scorpio, we are being called to release anything that is toxic.  Watch out for some action with investments, loans and mortgages.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and it is renowned for being a warrior, as well as being very assertive and resilient.  Keep this in mind as to where it hits your chart.  It can be a time of releasing old fears and embracing our courage to move ahead because Aries is also a cardinal sign and loves to initiate.   The Sun and Venus in Libra are opposing the Full Moon in Aries, which can have the potential for achieving a peace treaty.  I know, it must be my Neptune in Libra speaking, hoping for the best possible outcome.  The Full Moon in Aries is also forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 18 degrees of Aquarius, which has been very close to an exact square with Uranus in Taurus again (the prevailing aspect of 2021), underscoring the theme of preserving the old versus embracing the new.  So perhaps some constructive action will take place.

What else is happening on this Full Moon?  Mars in Gemini is energizing the mind and all of the information that is circulating, but it is squaring Mercury in 27 degrees of Virgo, so there is a lot of analyzing of this information.  But Mercury in Virgo is also opposing Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces, which cans serve to energize the fog. Never fear, though because Mercury in Virgo is trining Pluto in Capricorn, which will provide the urge to dig deep and research the truth.  We will want to get to the bottom of things.  Don't be surprised if you hear more news about inflation on the Full Moon because Mercury in Virgo is still in opposition to Jupiter in 1 degree of Aries.  That also means the Sun and Venus in Libra are opposing Jupiter in Aries, so that contributes to the theme of excess.  Try to be as objective as possible, which probably is easier said than done.

On October 10, Mercury re-enters Libra until October 29.  The recent Mercury retrograde started on September 9 in 8 degrees of Libra, so we could be going over some old ground. It's true that Mercury rules Virgo (in addition to Gemini) and is comfortable there, although it can be very analytical and critical.  When Mercury is in Libra, we are inclined to be more diplomatic, friendly and willing to compromise. Negotiations tend to run smoothly and we are more rational in our approach to relationships.  The shadow side of  Mercury in Libra is a tendency to vacillate in our decision-making process as are able to see both sides of a given situation.

On October 12, Mars in Gemini is exactly squaring Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces.  This is going to be one of those low energy days that can be accompanied by suspicion, lies, paranoia and scandal.  Gossip is also likely.  The best way to deal with this energy is to mind your own business and try not to tackle any new projects or lash out because the truth isn't clear and our energy levels are low.

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.

Check out my new offering of a one-question telephone reading on: https://t.co/CvAZB7Fyvr. This is my reaction to the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces. #tarot pic.twitter.com/KaYuFYKM7K
