Neptune is
stationing direct in 13 degrees of Pisces on November 24, 2018 after having
been retrograde since June 18, 2018 but Neptune direct is not quite the
blessing of having Mercury direct. When
Neptune is retrograde, we find it harder to escape reality as many things
become painfully clear to us. Of course,
a planet’s strength is always enhanced when it makes a station, either direct
or retrograde.
Neptune direct
is rife with themes of deception and denial because it has a way of encouraging
us to live in denial as we choose fantasy over reality. Don’t forget that Neptune is the planet
associated with imagination, dreams and delusions. When Neptune is direct, it
can enable us to go too far and delude ourselves into doing the wrong things,
such as staying in relationships or jobs that are toxic for us.
But while Neptune
is associated with deception and denial, it is also associated with idealism,
compassion, imagination and spirituality.
Every cloud has a silver lining, so to speak and Neptune is indeed a
cloudy planet. The best use of Neptune
being direct is to take the necessary steps to make our dreams a reality.
I have to
confess that I am heavily impacted by this Neptune station. Neptune is squaring my Gemini moon in my 8th
house and trining my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st house. It could definitely be an emotionally
challenging time with that square to my moon and even though Neptune is trining
my Saturn, I’m still not totally sold on its benefits. These two planets are not actually the most
compatible playmates. I have Neptune in Libra in my 1st house as
well as Saturn in Scorpio at the end of my 1st house. I have always felt like this placement has
existed as a system of checks and balances for me. Saturn in the 1st house has always
given me a sense of responsibility and a reserved manner which probably offsets
that 1st house Neptune conjunct my ascendant that makes me so
sensitive to others and contributing to my empathic nature.
There is a
party going on with Jupiter, Mercury and the sun all in Sagittarius. On November 19, 2018, Mars in 2 degrees of
Pisces squared Jupiter in Sagittarius, inspiring me to tweet:
Mars in Pisces squaring Jupiter in Sagittarius today has a tendency to make us try to do much or overestimate our abilities. But with both planets in mutable signs we can easily adapt and course correct. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 19, 2018
But the Sagittarian
love fest really begins on November 26, 2018 when the Sun, Jupiter and Mercury
start the hugs and kisses. On November
26, 2018 the sun and Jupiter are conjunct in 3 degrees of Sagittarius. This aspect will promote a sense of
happiness, optimism, well-being and expansion.
The only potential drawback to that day is the fact that Mercury in 6
degrees of Sagittarius will be forming a challenging square to Mars in 6
degrees of Pisces, which can result in sharp tongues wagging.
All is good on
the next day, November 27th, however when Mercury in 4 degrees of
Sagittarius conjuncts Jupiter in 4 degrees of Sagittarius. This aspect can make it very easy to make up
for any transgressions that occurred on the previous day when Mercury was
squaring Mars in Pisces. Adding to the
mix is the fact that the Sun and Mercury are conjunct in 4 degrees of
Sagittarius. This should really rejuvenate
our communications. It’s really nice to
see these three planets playing so nicely in the astrological sandbox and will hopefully
bring more light and hope after a difficult few months.
If you are
curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please
consider getting an astrological reading. I am also offering short telephone astrology
consultations for 15 minutes or 30 minutes which are available for purchase on
the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the
cost of $25 or $35 and would make a great holiday gift. I even offer the option
of tarot readings. There is something for everyone.
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

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.
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.
For 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 in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday
afternoons.
But the big news is that I have created and
launched a new website devoted exclusively to my Reiki practice. Please feel
free to check it out at:
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:
I have also revised my package deals and I am now
offering two options for package deals: Silver and a Tarot special for my tarot
clients. Please check it out at:
