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. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number 617-304-2205.

Virgo Season is Upon Us as the Sun Enters Virgo and the First of Two New Moons in Virgo

 

We are up for some big changes in the upcoming week.  The Sun moves into the mutable earth sign of Virgo on August 22 and we have the first of two New Moons in Virgo on August 23.  The second one will occur on September 21 in the form of a Solar Eclipse.  And Venus will enter Leo on August 25.

When the Sun enters Virgo, we tend to be more grounded, practical and responsible.  It's much easier to focus on details and find solutions to problems.  Virgo is also associated with health, so it's a perfect time to start a healthier diet or fitness regime.  We can get organized and improve communication on the job.  We are literally aiming for perfection when the Sun is in Virgo, but the shadow side of the Sun in Virgo is being too critical or judgmental.

Venus in Cancer is squaring Chiron in 26 degrees of Aries on August 22 as well.  This can trigger past relationship wounds.  We might be feeling insecure or unappreciated in relationships.  Try to accept your vulnerability (I know, that's a tough one and I am the first one to admit that I don't do vulnerable well) and practice some self-compassion in order to heal those wounds.  This can be a stressful day.

On August 23, we have the first of two New Moons in Virgo.  This one is in 0 degrees of Virgo.  I know that we always hear about 29 degrees being a critical degree (which the second New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, will be in on September 21), but 0 is also a critical degree because it represents the purest energy of whatever sign it falls in.  A New Moon in Virgo has strong themes pertaining to daily routines, health and service to others.

This New Moon is extremely complicated and has the potential to be quite volatile.  It squares Uranus in 1 degree of Gemini, which can bring sudden disruptions, power outages, the potential for cyberattacks, seismic activity and shocking truths revealed around health issues.  And this New Moon is involved in a Yod with Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius.  The Sun and Moon are inconjunct Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Pluto in Aquarius while squaring Uranus in Gemini.  Inconjuncts are all about adjustments being required, and this one has a theme of karmic adjustments.  A Yod is also called the Finger of God and can feel very fated.  Both Saturn in 0 degrees of Aries and Neptune in 1 degree of Aries are sextiling Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius while being inconjunct the Sun and Moon in 0 degrees of Virgo.  Yods are powerful influences that can bring unexpected events that ultimately bring about restructuring.  This is especially true with Saturn being a part of that Yod.  We will need to remember to let go of old illusions (this is where Neptune comes in) to initiate a major refresh.  And we will get a chance to reexamine whatever seeds we plant or decisions we make on September 21 when we have that second New Moon in 29 degrees of Virgo, a Solar Eclipse to boot.

If you are old enough to remember 2006, we also had a New Moon in 0 degrees of Virgo on August 23.  The North Node was also in Pisces back then.  I remember that day all too well because my brother died on that day, only eight days after my mother died.  I am hoping for less loss this year but am trying to prepare myself for the likelihood of a disruptive time.

Venus leaves Cancer on August 25 and moves into Leo until September 19.  This can serve as a breather after the intensity of the New Moon in Virgo.  It is a real feel-good transit that has us feeling more creative, warm-hearted, dramatic, and glamorous.  It's time to let our inner child out to play.  We want to shine and enjoy the finer things in life.  It can be a delightful time, but just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Leo is a tendency to be self-centered, spend too much money or throw temper tantrums.

Uranus and Pluto are Moving Backwards and A New Moon in Virgo

 

The month of September will start off with the proverbial bang as it thrusts us deeper into retrograde season.  Uranus stations retrograde in 27 degrees of Taurus on September 1 and doesn't go direct until January 30, 2025 in 23 degrees of Taurus.  Uranus is the planet that represents sudden change and rebellion.  When Uranus is retrograde, we can be facing more internal than external changes in our lives.  We can still be wanting to break free of restraints but it will be on a psychological level.  I have Uranus retrograde natally, so it is energy that I am familiar with.  Uranus retrograde is a time to contemplate what types of changes we want to make and open our minds up to new possibilities.  Uranus retrograde will be nowhere near as disruptive as the recent Mercury retrograde and we can all be grateful for that.

I can tell you that anyone who has planets in 26-28 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will feel the need more intensely to bust out of confining situations.  When Uranus stations retrograde, it will be exactly opposing my natal Ceres in 27 degrees of Scorpio, squaring my natal Pluto in Leo in October and opposing my natal retrograde Venus in Scorpio from late November through mid-December.  So once again, I will be having the full experience of what happens when a planet is retrograde.

Pluto has been retrograde since May 2 when it stationed in 2 degrees of Aquarius, but on September 1 it will move back into 29 degrees of Capricorn where it stays until November 19.  Pluto will move into direct motion on October 11, but it will still be at 29 degrees of Capricorn.  This is the last pass of Pluto in Capricorn for nearly 230 years and I can only surmise that there will be intense pressure to transform our structures and power imbalances.  There could also be some last gasp attempts to cling to the old power systems.  The Presidential election in the United States could get really ugly but I am sure that does not come as a big surprise. to anyone. Corruption could be revealed during this period.  And the fact that Pluto remains in 29 degrees, the anaretic degree, of Capricorn only serves to underscore the fact that we are winding up a cycle that began in 2008 before Pluto re-enters Aquarius on November 19 for another 20 years.  Hopefully that can indeed usher in a period of power to the people.  But just remember that anyone with planets in the late degrees of the cardinal signs of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer and Libra as well as anyone with planets in 0-2 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will be feeling this influence intensely.  And I am also in the line of fire for this one with my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer and Neptune in Libra, plus my Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio.

We do have a delightful New Moon in 11 degrees of Virgo on September 2.  New Moons are traditionally associated with planting the seeds for our intentions and Virgo is the sign ruled by Mercury, so it possible to have a fresh start in issues pertaining to communication, transportation, health, work and daily routines. Virgo is also mutable earth, which can be more practical and adapts well to getting organized, purifying and detoxing.  The New Moon in Virgo will be opposing Saturn in 16 degrees of Pisces, which can bring in some rules around health and the virus.  No one likes to hear it, but COVID has been surging lately and there is a new vaccine available.  Mercury in Leo will be exactly trining Chiron in 22 degrees of Aries on the New Moon, which should make it easier to communicate with others and express our vulnerability.  So feel free to set those intentions on this last New Moon before eclipse season kicks off in October.

On September 3, we have a somewhat problematic square between Mars in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces.  Both planets are in 29 degrees of their respective signs, so here we go again with that anaretic degree theme.  Anger can be an issue on this day, as can confusion,, deception, lies and guilt.  Suspicion, jealousy and hypochondria are other potential manifestations of this aspect.  Just be mindful that if something sounds too good to be true on this day, it's probably best not to act on it.

The Sun and Jupiter Do a Happy Dance and a New Moon in Virgo

 

I realize that we are still thick in the heart of retrograde season with Mercury, Saturn, Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Chiron and recently Jupiter stationing retrograde in 15 degrees of Taurus  on September 4, 2023.  On that day I posted:

Jupiter stations retrograde in Taurus today until 12/30/23. The station amplifies the power of Jupiter but it signifies that luck and faith will be more internalized for the rest of the year. Create your own opportunities. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 4, 2023

But Venus did finally move direct on September 3, 2023, when I posted:

Venus stations direct in Leo tonight which can be a boon for self-esteem, love and finances. It has been retrograde since July 22 and has made many feel like we were living Groundhog Day in relationships. We can anticipate some movement at last. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 3, 2023

So, after the tumultuous times of August, and in spite of retrograde season, I am looking for something to be grateful for these days.  On September 8, we have one of those days.  The Sun in Virgo is exactly trining Jupiter in 15 degrees of Taurus.  This is a delightful aspect that brings optimism, good cheer and a real feel-good, harmonious vibe.  It can expand and improve our spiritual perspective as well as boosting our finances.  It really can be a blessing for career matters. We literally could be feeling lucky on this day.  I realize that Jupiter is retrograde, but I would encourage all of you to take a deep dive into reexamining the wisdom of our decisions.  Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches, but it is also about truth and knowledge.  The Sun is currently at the end of my 11th house and Jupiter is in my 8th house for another week, which will definitely give me food for thought in terms of my goals and areas that I would like to transform.

On September 14, we have a New Moon in 21 degrees of Virgo. The major theme of a New Moon is to set new intentions.  A New Moon in the sign of Virgo pertains to decluttering, streamlining, clarifying and simplifying.  It's also an ideal time to focus on improving our health and job performance or ways of serving others.

Mercury is prominently featured in this New Moon.  It is also in Virgo and is stationary because it will go direct in 8 degrees of Virgo on September 15.  Whenever a planet is stationing, its power is magnified and intensified.  But Mercury in Virgo is also in a wide opposition to Saturn in 2 degrees of Pisces, which could pose some restrictions in the flow of information.  If you have any health issues that are troubling you, I urge you to get them checked out now because a New Moon in Virgo can get you on the right path to better health.

Neptune in 26 degrees of Pisces is also opposing the Sun and Moon in Virgo on the New Moon, which will add some fog and illusion to the mix.  It also emphasizes health and could pertain to mental health issues.  But it also has the potential to enhance our intuition, so pay attention to your gut instincts and dreams on this New Moon.

Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus is also trining the Sun and Moon in 21 degrees of Virgo, which can bring a new perspective to health matters.  Uranus lives for the moment, as it loves to expose truth, be totally individual and sometimes iconoclastic as it seeks to awaken us.  We actually have a very wide Grand Earth Trine in place on September 14 involving the Sun and Moon in 21 degrees of Virgo, Uranus in 22 degrees of Taurus and Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn.  This holds the potential and promise of building new systems that are very future-oriented, so be sure to meditate and do some kind of ritual on the New Moon to set those intentions for a brighter future.

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.  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! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology

An Invigorating New Moon in Virgo that Takes its Lead from Mars in Gemini

The major event of this week is the New Moon in 4 degrees of Virgo on August 27.  Traditionally, New Moons are all about setting new intentions and one in Virgo ramps ups our ability to be more precise in analyzing what we want.  It also helps us to rid ourselves of negative habits and be of service to others because that is Virgo's trademark. 

The New Moon in Virgo is also getting quite a boost from Mars in Gemini.  Mars entered Gemini on August 20 for an extended stay and on that day, I tweeted:

The major astrological event of today is Mars entering Gemini until March 2023. Prepare to be motivated and impassioned by brilliant ideas and confronted with multiple options. We might be having some do-overs. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) August 20, 2022

Both the Sun and Moon in Virgo are in an exact square to Mars in 4 degrees of Gemini on August 27, so this New Moon should have a rather competitive edge which can trigger some frustration, anger and irritability.  Conflict is highly likely. We might need to guard against acting too impulsively, which is always easier said than done.  But Mars in Gemini is also trining Mercury in Libra on the New Moon, so I anticipate high levels of mental activity and lots of information coming forth.  It should be quite energizing.

Venus in 19 degrees of Leo is also squaring Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus on the New Moon.  Uranus just stationed retrograde on August 24 until January 22, 2023.  This is bound to create some tension in relationships and finances as we are inclined to seek freedom from restrictions. And we can't forget Saturn in 20 degrees of Aquarius, which is putting its own stamp on the theme of  limitations and restrictions as the square between Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius moves closer to being exact again in early October.  The Saturn-Uranus square predominated the year 2021, just like the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn ruled 2020.

Venus in Leo is exactly opposing Saturn in 20 degrees of Aquarius on August 28.  It will be difficult to feel any warmth towards others on this day, as we are more likely to feel underappreciated.  Mark my words, it will be a major reality check in love and finances.

On August 30, the Sun in Virgo will be forming an inconjunct or quincunx to Jupiter in 7 degrees of Aries.  We might be feeling overconfident or foolishly optimistic under the auspices of this aspect.  Just be mindful of the fact that the inconjunct always required some kind of adjustment so that the two planets can coexist and don't go off half-cocked or you will undoubtedly live to regret it.  We need to remember that there a lot of planets retrograde now: Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Chiron and Mars, so essentially, we are in a period of reassessing.  And I hate to be a spoilsport, but Mercury  already entered its retrograde shadow period on August 20.  Mercury officially stations retrograde on September 9 the day before the Full Moon in Pisces, but its effects are being felt already.  I know that I have been experiencing it this week with missed messages, technical glitches and general communication snafus.

But the retrograde party starts breaking up in October when two of the heaviest hitters, Pluto and Saturn, station direct respectively on October 8 and October 22.  And the upcoming Mercury retrograde will end on October 2.  So the month of October should feel a lot freer and less restrictive in terms of being able to move forward.  Stay tuned...

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.

A Complicated New Moon in Virgo

September is here and we are definitely feeling the energy of Virgo.  The Sun and Mars are in Virgo and we have a New Moon in 14 degrees of Virgo on September 6.  There has been a great deal of planetary energy setting up this New Moon.  On September 2, Mars in Virgo was exactly opposing Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces, inspiring me to tweet:

The major aspect of today is Mars in Virgo opposing Neptune in Pisces. It can make us take action to make our dreams a reality but is also accompanied by some illusions and the sense of loss is palpable. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 2, 2021

The Moon has also been extremely active since September started, setting the stage for a complicated and intense New Moon in Virgo.  On September 1 the Moon was in its home sign of Cancer, but it gave a helping hand to the Sun in Virgo with its sextile aspect:

The saving grace aspect of today is the Cancer Moon forming a supportive sextile to the Sun in Virgo. We can make things better if we try. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) September 1, 2021

This is going to be an extremely emotional New Moon and one more major aspect occurs on the 5^th which will really set it off.  Venus in Libra will exactly square Pluto in 24 degrees of Capricorn.  I have a Venus-Pluto square natally, and I can tell you that it will ignite extremes of anger, obsession, compulsiveness and self-destructive behavior.  It could also reveal some issues that have been buried for quite some time.  But New Moons are renowned for revealing and illuminating.  This New Moon is also exactly squaring my natal Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini in my 8^th house, so I am feeling this one intently.  And that Mars-Neptune opposition has been manifesting in crises for many people, as evidenced by what my clients are telling me.

Generally speaking, the New Moon is a perfect time to set new intentions.  A New Moon in Virgo is all about practical manifestation and is very detailed in its specifications for what it wants.  It can literally be a time of creating order from chaos.  Decluttering is also a major theme of this New Moon in Virgo. Since Virgo is ruled by Mercury, it can involve disseminating information.  And a New Moon in Virgo is a perfect time to reboot our health routines and get in better shape.  Perhaps we want to adopt a new diet and exercise plan?

Mars in Virgo is trining Pluto in Capricorn on this New Moon, so we will definitely have the energy to move forward and transform our lives.  Uranus in Taurus is also trining the Moon, so there can be sudden opportunities and new technology presenting themselves to us as we seek to accomplish our desire for change.  This is a Grand Earth Trine, which we shouldn’t waste to get moving.  And we also have a Grand Air Trine with Mercury in Libra, Saturn in Aquarius and Ceres in Gemini on the New Moon, so information should be flowing freely that could very well involve issues pertaining to our food supply.  This New Moon is also forming a wide opposition to Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces, which will hopefully manifest in more compassion and selfless service to others.

Venus in Libra is exactly trining Jupiter in 25 degrees of Aquarius on the New Moon, which will relieve some of the stress that the Venus squaring Pluto purge caused on the previous day.  This is a very optimistic vibe that can bring good luck and a new vision for the future.  I also have a natal Venus-Jupiter trine and believe me, it is very helpful to have, especially in challenging times.  So I hope that all of you out there set some powerful new intentions on this New Moon in Virgo.

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?
