We have been getting a heavy blast of planets in earth
signs lately. Venus, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn and Ceres have all been in
Capricorn and Uranus is in Taurus. On
December 17, 2019 we even had a Grand Trine in Earth involving the moon in
Virgo. On that day I tweeted:
We have a #GrandEarthTrine today involving the moon in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus and Jupiter in Capricorn. This is a great opportunity to adopt new approaches to accomplish goals and resolve old matters in relationships. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 17, 2019
On December 20, 2019, Venus departs Capricorn and enters the
air sign of Aquarius until January 13, 2020.
This will be a marked change from Venus in Capricorn; we will be feeling
much more social (just in time for the holidays) and lighter. Friendship is very important to us when Venus
is in Aquarius, as is the need for freedom and independence, so be sure to give
your partners and friends the space they need.
Hopefully we will all be seeking more equality in our relationships, but
Venus in the sign of Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus, has a somewhat
unconventional and detached approach to relationships. But Venus moving into Aquarius does energize
us because we finally have a planet in an air sign.
On the following day, December 21, 2019, the sun leaves the
fire sign of Sagittarius and joins the Capricorn party of Jupiter, Saturn,
Pluto and Ceres. So the Capricorn
influence is still calling the shots.
December 21, 2019 is also known as the Winter Solstice because it is the
shortest day of the year and marks the official start of winter. When the sun is in Capricorn, we are feeling
more serious, responsible and goal oriented.
We strive for accomplishment and want to see results for the fruits of
our labors.
On December 26, 2019 Eclipse Season kicks off with a solar
eclipse in 4 degrees of Capricorn. This
is not necessarily a bad thing. Granted,
it does have a material world emphasis as turbulent changes are coming, especially
in long standing structures that are on the verge of collapsing. The solar eclipse in Capricorn is also
trining Uranus in Taurus, so we are definitely headed for some big changes
coming down the pike.
The solar eclipse on December 26, 2019 is a south node
eclipse which could highlight abuse of power and responsibility. This is a time to set new intentions in the
area of life that the eclipse occurs in.
Where does 4 degrees of Capricorn fall in your chart? For me, it falls in my third house and is
conjunct my north node in Capricorn, which is a pretty big deal. Or, as one friend suggested to me, it’s time
to write! It is also continuing a theme
with the Cancer/Capricorn eclipses that began in July 2018 when we had a solar
eclipse in 20 degrees of Cancer. And we have a lunar eclipse coming on January
10, 2020 on 20 degrees of Cancer. The major
themes of eclipses in Cancer and Capricorn are emotional and practical
security.
Jupiter in Capricorn is also conjunct this solar eclipse,
which brings faith and optimism to the mix as it also continues to trine Uranus
in Taurus. The trine between Jupiter in
Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus was exact on December 15, 2019, when I tweeted:
We will continue to feel the effects of the Jupiter Uranus trine through the rest of 2019. This is a very future oriented aspect that is quite visionary and can prove to be a time of great awakening. It brings good luck, generosity, happiness and opportunity for personal, professional and spiritual growth. Don’t be afraid to take a risk.The best aspect of today is the trine between Jupiter in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus. It offers the opportunity for luck and success if we have the courage to try something new so don’t waste it. We don’t get another one until 2028. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 15, 2019
Overall, this eclipse seems to have a great deal of
positive energy going for it. There are
however, two aspects that might prove to be a bit challenging. The solar eclipse in 4 degrees of Capricorn
does square Chiron in 1 degree of Aries, which will bring up the need for
emotional healing. And Venus in Aquarius
will be squaring Uranus in Taurus, which could contribute to some restlessness
in relationships and finances and a craving for freedom.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I have recently revised my menu of services
and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer
you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that
occurs on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you. It can be purchased through my site at:
I have also added a new reading to my menu of services, a
Clues to Compatibility reading, which is designed primarily for non-romantic
relationships and utilizes synastry to determine your connections with friends,
family members and business associates. This one can be especially helpful during
the holiday season as we gather with family, friends and business associates
for holiday festivities.
An astrology reading also makes a perfect Christmas
gift. Give the gift of insight and
clarity for the holidays. Please feel
free to email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to purchase
a gift certificate. You can decide how
much you wish to spend and the recipient can choose which type of reading they
want. 2020 promises to be an exciting
year astrologically and a little insight will go a long way to navigating this
year of change.
I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new 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.
Since I love to talk astrology and believe in making it
more available to everyone, I am now offering pay by the minute astrology
readings through Click 4Advisor. Check
it out at:
This might be the perfect way for you to get a taste of
what astrology can do for you in terms of providing insight into your life
during these challenging time. Obviously
the 30 minute readings are the best deal, but you might be surprised by how
much you learn in 10 minutes or less from a brief glance at your chart. If I am
not available you can always request a callback and I will respond quickly.
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:
A
contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part
of my spiritual practice.
Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose coaching
training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach. It was an intense, eye-opening experience
that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life. But I left it with feelings of hope and light
for the future that I want to share with others. To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose
Coaching to my menu of services. You can
read more about it at:
As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation
of the north node by sign. If you are feeling stuck and need some help in
getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive changes in
your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com
to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a
good fit for this program. I look
forward to hearing from you.
I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are
in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in
Newton, MA. 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.
If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a
Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress,
revitalize and remove blockages to healing.
It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off and can also be described
as a spa for the soul to boot! Reiki is
the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on
CALMING your body.

more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on my site:
For
my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule for a treatment or have
difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing distance Reiki sessions
for them. I have a conversation with
them 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 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. I am also
offering Reiki treatments at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday
afternoons. Recently I have added online
booking for my Sunday clients on my site.

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:
Best
wishes to all for a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Kwanzaa on the day of
the solar eclipse, December 26, 2019!
