Mercury in Libra is Still Busy and the Sun Enters Libra

 



As I mentioned last week, Mercury entered Libra on September 10 with the New Moon in Virgo and has wasted no time making its presence known.  It continues to express itself this week.  On September 18, it is opposing Saturn in 12 degrees of Aries.  This is not the friendliest or most joyful aspect.  It calls upon us to find a balance between harmony and maintaining boundaries in relationships.  Patience is required, which is not exactly fun and it doesn't come easily for me.  We might have to curb our people-pleasing tendencies but perhaps we can reframe it to think of it as a reset in relationships.  Saturn's presence implies that serious conversations are possible and responsibility will be a key theme in relationships.

On September 21, Mercury in Libra is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 17 degrees of Leo.  This is a much more favorable aspect bringing clear thinking, positive communication and ease in problem-solving.  Good news is likely and we are definitely open to the big picture.  This one is all about making plans for the future.  Make an effort and you will be rewarded.  Sextiles bring opportunities our way, but we have to grasp the bull by the horn, so to speak.  It's a real snooze you lose vibe.  Enough said...

Libra season and fall officially launch on September 22 when the Sun enters Libra.  The focus shifts to feeling more social and in search of fairness.  Libra is the cardinal air sign and it likes to lead through ideas and spoken or written words.  The cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are leaders.  It is a perfect opportunity to mend broken relationships and avoid conflict.  We can also find ourselves appreciating beauty and the arts more when the Sun is in Libra.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is that decision-making can be more challenging and we could be prone to passive-aggressive behavior.  However, we do need to appreciate the fact that when the Sun enters Libra it will be forming a Grand Air Trine with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini.  This is extremely helpful in terms of implementing change and transformation.  As someone who has a natal Grand Air Trine involving my Libra Ascendant, Moon in Gemini and Mars in Aquarius, I am delighted with this configuration.  Communication should be flowing freely.

Enjoy the relatively peaceful break before next week's Full Moon in Aries, Mars entering Leo and Mercury entering Scorpio for an extended stay due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde...

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.

An Active Week as Venus Enters Virgo, a Solar Eclipse in Virgo, Mars Enters Scorpio and the Sun Moves into Libra

 




Hang on for a wild ride during the coming week.  As astrologer David Zunker posted on Blue Sky Social, "Here in Eclipse Alley, everything is intensified."  This really sums up the feeling of the entire month.

Let's break it down. On September 19, Venus departs dramatic Leo for the mutable earth sign of Virgo, where it resides until October 13.  Love is going to take on a whole different flavor than when it was in Leo.  We tend to express our affection through service to others with Venus now. Venus in Virgo can also feature more attention to detail in creative work and/or financial planning. Don't forget that Venus is also associated with money.  When Venus is in Virgo, we tend to be more reserved and discriminating in relationships.  Try to engage in some self-care too, because Venus is in a sensual earth sign.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Virgo is a tendency towards being critical and perfectionist.

On September 21, we have the second New Moon in Virgo in 2025.  The first one occurred on August 23 in 0 degrees of Virgo, but this one is a partial Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo.  That's right, the critical or anaretic degree.  There is a major theme of release with this eclipse because it is near the South Node of the Moon in 18 degrees of Virgo.  It is more karmic and there is a feeling that we are reaping what we have sown.  There could be some major news about health crises during this eclipse. 

This Solar Eclipse is also making major aspects to the outer planets.  For starters, it is opposing Saturn in 28 degrees of Pisces.  This entails the themes of structure and surrender.  Saturn is not especially comfortable in Pisces and it is retrograde to boot.  But the Sun and Moon in the last degree of Virgo are calling for some kind of ending to a crisis, perhaps a health issue.  Just be careful not to get caught up in self-deception or escapism during this eclipse.  

The Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo is also forming an opposition to Neptune in 0 degrees of Aries, which heightens the potential for tempting illusions.   And it squares Uranus in 1 degree of Gemini, which only further fuels the wild card vibe with the potential for disruptions in information or communication.

We also have a couple of irritating inconjuncts with this Solar Eclipse.  It inconjuncts Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius, which can require adjustments in power systems.  The Solar Eclipse in 20 degrees of Virgo also inconjuncts Chiron in 26 degrees of Aries.  This is bound to be emotionally uncomfortable as we experience increased sensitivity to old hurts and wounds.  We will need to confront those wounds to adjust and heal them.

There are some positive aspects present during this Solar Eclipse.  Pluto in Aquarius is trining Uranus in Gemini, which is a favorable influence for making the radical changes that are necessary. The Moon in Virgo is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 21 degrees of Cancer (where it is exalted), which in my mind is the saving grace aspect of this eclipse because it brings optimism, good fortune and faith in the future.

We all know that eclipses come in pairs and the last one occurred on September 7 in 15 degrees of Pisces.  This was a North Node eclipse and we might find that the Solar Eclipse in Virgo can activate some new developments that could have started two weeks ago. Anyone with planets or points in the middle degrees of the mutable signs of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius would have felt the effects of this eclipse more acutely.

Eclipses don't just happen on that one day.  The effects can be felt for a good five months.  Many people were saddened this week to hear about the death of Robert Redford on September 16.  I couldn't resist looking at his chart.  The Lunar Eclipse on September 7 in 15 degrees of Pisces was opposing his natal Neptune in 15 degrees of Virgo in his 6th house of health. It also squared his Jupiter in 14 degrees of Sagittarius in his 9th house. When he died, Saturn in 28 degrees of Pisces was conjunct his Ascendant.  And the upcoming Solar Eclipse in 29 degrees of Virgo squares his Midheaven in 29 degrees of Sagittarius, ensuring that his passing would generate big news. As astrologers say, you can't make this stuff up.  Eclipses tell a story and sometimes that story has an ending.

On September 22, Mars, the planet representing drive, action, motivation and desire, enters Scorpio until November 4.  Mars is very strong in Scorpio because it was considered the ruler  of Scorpio until Pluto was discovered in 1930.  It is right at home in this fixed water sign.  When Mars is in Scorpio, we have the tenacity to persevere through difficult challenges and get to the bottom of things.  We have the power to unleash our drive and ambition.  There is no shortage of willpower.  Be prepared for some heavy-duty psychological self-examination.  But be aware that the shadow of Mars in Scorpio is that we can be inclined to seek out revenge, engage in power struggles or find it difficult to forgive. Mars in Scorpio will be squaring Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius on September 24. This will highlight issues of anger, passion and power struggles.  It can also instigate changes in leadership.  Adding to the mix on that day is the fact the Moon enters Scorpio, which will intensify the emotional vibration.

The Sun moves into Libra on September 22.  Our focus shifts to finding balance and harmony in relationships. Reconciliations are possible now because we really don't want to go it alone now. We tend to feel more sociable and since Libra is the cardinal air sign, we could be initiating contact with others.  We also appreciate beauty and the finer things in life, so shopping trips could be on the agenda for some of us.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is that we can be indecisive because we see both sides of situations and we can also be passive-aggressive.

A Very Busy Week as the Sun and Mercury Enter Libra While Venus Moves into Scorpio






Well, we are in that week between eclipses which can be somewhat uncomfortable. On September 17, we had the first of two eclipses: a Lunar Eclipse in 25 degrees of Pisces.  I posted this on that day:

The Sun and Mercury are getting ready to depart the mutable sign of Virgo for the cardinal air sign of Libra.  But both planets still have a few moves up their sleeves before they leave Virgo.  On September 20, the Sun in Virgo will be opposing Neptune in 28 degrees in Pisces.  This can bring confusion, uncertainty, deception and some second guessing of our plans.  It is not a good day to start new relationships (because nothing or no one is as they appear).  We are also more susceptible to addiction or escapism on this day.  Just giving you a heads up...

On September 21, we have a mixed bag aspect as Mercury in Virgo squares Jupiter in 20 degrees of Gemini.  This can be accompanied by optimism, a positive outlook and a view of the big picture. But the devil can be in the details.  There can be a tendency towards cockiness or exaggeration.

The Sun in Virgo will be trining Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 22.  This represents intense and profound experiences but it can also afford us the opportunity to purge what isn't working for us because Pluto also symbolizes elimination and both planets are in the anaretic or critical degrees (29) of their respective signs.

The Sun will enter Libra at 8:44 a.m. on September 22 as our focus shifts to being more sociable, tactful, peacemaking and more cooperative.  We are more amenable to compromise while the Sun is in Libra.  The shadow side of the Sun in Libra is a tendency to be more passive-aggressive and indecisive, however.

Venus is pretty busy on September 22 too.  Venus in Libra squares Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn at 5:15 pm on that day and that will stir the pot with power and control issues in relationships.  Watch out for manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness to emerge.

Venus moves into Scorpio at 10:36 p.m. on the 22nd until October 17.  When Venus is in Scorpio, love becomes more intense, passionate and magnetic.  It's an all or nothing vibe.  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, so we can expect a certain amount of drama and power struggle.  It's not for the faint of heart...

Mercury in Virgo is trining Uranus in 27 degrees of Taurus on September 24.  This is a welcome respite from the square on September 7 when Mercury was in Leo.  It opens our minds to new possibilities and the potential for exciting news.  Intuition is strong and apt to be quite correct on this day.  

Mercury in Virgo trines Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn on September 26.  Our words will have strong powers of persuasion on this day and we can be quite influential if we set our minds to it.  It's also favorable for obtaining a psychic reading or starting therapy.

Finally, Mercury enters Libra at 4:09 a.m. on September 26 and remains in Libra until October 13.  Mercury in Libra is characterized by diplomacy, friendliness and a more rational approach to relationships.  Our mental focus is on achieving fairness and balance.

The Sun Enters Libra for a New Season and Mercury Trines Jupiter


 

The Sun is going to be entering the cardinal air sign of Libra on September 23.  It is the Fall Equinox, marking the start of the Fall season.  The Sun is not the most comfortable in Libra, and is considered to be in fall (no pun intended) because it is exalted in Aries, its opposite sign. The Sun represents our ego and life force, and when the Sun is in Libra, our focus is on finding balance and harmony in relationships.  We are not driven to achieve our own goals so much with the Sun in Libra. On the plus side, we are more tactful, tolerant and sociable.  It is also a good time to appreciate the arts and beauty.  Some of us might be going to museums, the theater and engaging in some shopping too.  We want to work out issues in relationships, but we need to be mindful of the tendency to people please and bend over backwards while ignoring our own needs.  There is a shadow side to the Sun in Libra: we can be more indecisive because we are able to see both sides of situations and we might be inclined towards passive-aggressive behavior, which is another Libra tendency.  

On September 24, the Sun in Libra will be forming an irritating inconjunct with Saturn in 1 degree of Pisces.  This aspect always requires us to make some kind of adjustment because the planets are in signs that are just not on the same page.  The Sun inconjunct Saturn is bound to see us torn between what we want to do and our responsibilities. If we aren't careful, we could be acting out in destructive behaviors and issues with addiction could also surface.  The main issues are a desire for freedom and the restrictions in our lives. Tension will be prevalent and we need to find some compromise. I am sure that I will be feeling this aspect acutely because the Sun will be in my 12th house and Saturn is in my 5th house, which is where we want to have fun and experience joy.
 
On the same day, Mars in Libra is opposing Chiron in 18 degrees of Aries.  This could add to the discomfort level of September 24 because there will be conflict between our assertive needs and healing old emotional wounds. I anticipate that relationships could be a little rocky but the potential exists to clear the air. Sometimes a little discomfort is necessary in order for healing to occur.

On September 25, we have a truly delightful aspect with Mercury in Virgo trining Jupiter in 14 degrees of Taurus.  We can be hearing good news and experiencing more optimism, harmony and serenity.  This is a very future oriented aspect, so feel free to make plans as we will have more insight available to us.  It is also very favorable for travel and legal matters, so make the most of this day.  It is the perfect way to start the week.  Mercury will be in my 11th house and Jupiter in my 7th house, so I am psyched about it.

We do have a Full Moon in Aries coming up on September 29, but stay tuned to next week's post for more details on that event.

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...

Relationships Take the Stage with Venus Squaring Mars and Trining Uranus and the Sun Entering Libra


 


Relationships are taking center stage with a great deal of Venus action and the Sun moving into Libra on September 22.  We start off on September 16 with Venus in Virgo forming an exact square to Mars in 14 degrees of Gemini.  This aspect can increase our sex drive, but if we have experiencing any tensions in our relationships, it can create more difficulties as it tends to exacerbate anger, impulsiveness and a lack of self-control. It can have a rather grumpy vibe.  I know that I will be feeling this aspect because Mars is exactly conjunct my Moon in Gemini in the 8th house.

The Sun in Virgo is also in an exact opposition to Neptune in 24 degrees of Pisces on September 16.  This aspect can manifest in low energy and feelings of vulnerability, insecurity and general discouragement.  We are very susceptible to con artists on this day, so if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So there is no doubt that this will impact relationships.  It will be very easy to get seduced on this day and have nothing to show for it.  The plus side of this aspect is that can bring bursts of creativity and inspiration.  Once again, I am in the line of fire with this action because the Virgo Sun is forming a supportive sextile to my Venus in Scorpio while Neptune is trining it.  But I think I will still need to be careful with finances.  

In case you have been living under a rock, Mercury stationed retrograde on September 9th.  It started out in Libra, which is bound to affect communication in relationships but it enters Virgo on September 23 and stations direct in 24 degrees of Virgo on October 2.   On September 18, retrograde Mercury in Libra will be exactly opposing Jupiter in 4 degrees of Aries.  If this sounds familiar, that is because we previously experienced this aspect on September 2nd.  The characteristics of this aspect are grandiose plans, lack of clarity and a tendency to gloss over details.  This is take two of this aspect and we get to experience it again on October 12 when Mercury is direct and Jupiter is still retrograde in Aries.

On September 20, Venus in Virgo is exactly trining Uranus in 18 degrees of Taurus.  I have a natal Venus/Uranus trine involving Venus in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer, so I am very familiar with this energy.  We are going to be craving excitement and something new in our lives on this day.  It tends to stimulate our craving for variety and something different.  However, bear in mind that if you do meet someone new at this time, it might not last due to the nature of Uranus being sudden and brief.

The Fall Equinox occurs on September 22 when the Sun enters Libra.  When the Sun is in the cardinal air sign of Libra, our focus is geared towards relationships as we are more open to compromise and negotiation.  We also tend to be more social and tactful, which is always appreciated.  But there is a shadow side to the Sun in Libra: decision-making is more challenging as Libra is the sign that loves to weigh all of the options and that can take forever.  We can also be more superficial and engage in passive-aggressive behavior.  Don't forget that the Sun is considered to be in Fall in Libra because it has a hard time asserting itself due to its need to define itself through relationships.  The Sun is considered to be exalted in Aries because Aries generally has no problems with self-assertion.

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?

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.

An Emotionally Charged Full Moon in Pisces and the Sun Enters Libra

 



We are about to experience one of the most emotionally intense Full Moons of the year on September 20 in 28 degrees of Pisces. All Full Moons tend to ramp up the magnitude of feelings, but when you have a Full Moon in the super sensitive water sign of Pisces, it goes deeper than other Full Moons.  Pisces is emotional, sensitive, complex, empathetic and brimming with wisdom and experience.  But there is a shadow side of Pisces that entails deception, betrayal and confusion because Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune and Neptune is currently in 21 degrees of Pisces and will be conjunct this Full Moon. A Full Moon conjunct Neptune can be highly creative and spiritual, but it can also bring confusion, chaos and a sense of being emotionally overwhelmed.

Think back to the New Moon in 23 degrees of Pisces on March 13, 2021.  Is there anything that you began back then?  If so, you could be seeing some sense of completion now if you initiated a new project.  Since the Sun is in Virgo now, there is also a strong healing theme with this Full Moon.  Health and healing are on the front burner with this Full Moon.  The Sun in Virgo forms an out-of-sign conjunction with Mars in 3 degrees of Libra, which can inspire us to fight for fairness and commit to helping others.  Mars entered Libra on September 14, when I tweeted:

As for the rest of the Full Moon activity, there is a lot going on.  Venus in Scorpio was forming an exact square to Saturn in Aquarius on September 17 and we will still be feeling the influence of this aspect on the Full Moon.  Venus squaring Saturn can truly test a relationship and can make us feel frustrated and restricted.  Venus in 11 degrees of Scorpio will be opposing Uranus in 14 degrees of Taurus on the Full Moon and this can lead to a relationship breakup if you are feeling unsatisfied.  Conversely, this aspect can cause a new relationship to suddenly start.  The bottom line with these aspects is if you have any planets between 6 and 14 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, you are going to feel the effects of this Full Moon intensely.  It certainly looks like my Saturn in Scorpio and Mars in Aquarius are in the line of fire but the Full Moon does fall in my 6th house, so I am banking on the healing theme.

We do have a couple of positive aspects on the Full Moon which will help us navigate these emotionally troubled waters.  Jupiter in Aquarius is exactly trining Mercury in 23 degrees of Libra, which is extremely beneficial in terms of perceiving the big picture and planning for the future.  And we are still reaping the benefits of the Sun in Virgo trining Pluto in Capricorn which was exact on September 16.  When the Sun is trining Pluto, we feel more comfortable in stepping into our power.

On September 22, the Sun enters Libra for the Fall Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. Mercury in Libra is exactly square Pluto in 24 degrees of Capricorn on that day, which could result in judgments by the court and some news about major transformation.  The Sun will also be conjunct Mars in 4 degrees of Libra accompanied by the themes of sex and money.  When the Sun is in Libra, our main focus is on finding harmony and balance through relationships with others.  Libra is the sign associated with tact, diplomacy, style, tolerance and sociability.  It also loves to play peacemaker.  But the shadow side of the Sun in Libra include indecisiveness, passive-aggressive behavior and superficiality.  The Sun is considered to be in fall in Libra because it is not comfortable expressing the ego and core self due to its focus on relationships and pleasing others.  It is constantly seeking balance. 

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?
