The game of
musical planetary chairs continues at breakneck speed in the coming week to
make the month of November a highly active astrological month. On November 16, 2018, Venus stations direct
in 25 degrees of Libra at 5:51 a.m. on the east coast of the United
States. At 8:33 p.m. Mercury stations
retrograde in 13 degrees of Sagittarius until December 6, 2018 when it stations
direct in 27 degrees of Scorpio. That’s
right, folks, if you feel like you didn’t have the full Mercury in Scorpio
experience in October, you get one last shot at it because Mercury slips back
into Scorpio on December 2, 2018.
With Mercury
retrograde in Sagittarius for most of its transit, honesty and the truth will
be essential themes. And Mercury in
Sagittarius is renowned for having no filters when it comes to speaking its
truth. It goes without saying that all
Mercury retrogrades are a time to reflect and review all of the choices and
decisions that we have made recently and perhaps revise them. And the main thing to remember is that
Mercury Retrograde is not a good time to sign contracts, buy a new car, computer,
cell phone or accept a new job. Communications could be confusing, especially
with Mercury in a mutable sign and expect transportation delays.
On the plus
side, we do have Venus direct now and it is in its happy place in the sign of
Libra. Of course Venus moves back into
Scorpio on December 2, 2018, so make the most of Venus in Libra for the next
couple of weeks. We should have more
clarity and insight on our relationships and financial picture. Venus direct also gives us more freedom to
make more commitments in these areas of our life and we have a total green
light by December 18, 2018 when Venus clears its retrograde shadow.
Mars recently
moved into the sign of Pisces on November 15, 2018, inspiring me to tweet:
Of course it took me several hours to realize that I had meant to say inclined in that post, which felt like Mercury Retrograde was starting early for me. So I owned that mistake and tweeted:Mars moves into Pisces today as our actions and desires will be included to be more compassionate, creative and spiritually oriented. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 15, 2018
Mars in Pisces is forming a very important aspect with Jupiter in Sagittarius which will be exact on November 19, 2018 in 2 degrees of their respective signs as they square each other. This aspect can make us very idealistic and contribute to a tendency to bite off more than we can chew. We may very well be overly enthusiastic and exuberant as we overestimate our abilities. Since both of these planets are in mutable signs, there will be a lot of flexibility involved but things can change in the blink of an eye. The bottom line with this aspect is to look before you leap, especially with Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius at the same time.I think #MercuryRetrograde started early for me - I meant to say inclined not included in my tweet about Mars in Pisces. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 16, 2018
The sun moves
into Sagittarius on November 22, 2018, which is Thanksgiving Day in the United
States. The sun in Sagittarius has a much lighter vibe than the sun in Scorpio,
when the focus was primarily on the need for an intimate connection with
another or ourselves. The energy will
shift to reaching out to the world and expanding our horizons. The sun in Sagittarius is also a time of more
confidence and enthusiasm as we are more inclined to focus on the big
picture. Faith and hope are strong but
there may be a tendency to have pie in the sky expectations, especially this
year with Jupiter in Sagittarius.
We also have a
full moon in 0 degrees of Gemini on November 22nd. This is actually the beginning of a cycle of
5 full moons in 0 degrees and the next full moon in April 2019 will be in 29
degrees of Libra. This tends to
reinforce the belief that humanity is headed for new beginnings, as 0 and 29
are considered critical degrees. A full
moon in Gemini will have strong themes of communication and self-talk.
It’s also
important to note that there are 7 planets in mutable signs on the day of this
full moon. The sun, Mercury and Jupiter
are in Sagittarius, the moon is in Gemini, and Chiron, Mars and Neptune are in
Pisces. This probably won’t be the most
focused full moon with all of this mutable, chameleon like energy because it is
very reactive and impulsive. It does
promote creativity and if there is any drama at the Thanksgiving table, it
should blow over fairly quickly. At
least Mars is out of fixed sign Aquarius, so the stubborn quality that Mars
focused on for the past few months is missing.
The sun is conjunct Jupiter in 3 degrees of Sagittarius on this full
moon, which means that Jupiter is also opposing the full moon in Gemini. The only inherent danger with Jupiter
opposing the moon is tendency to be dogmatic and judgmental.
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
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.
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:
Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter for my daily
astrological insights.
Happy Thanksgiving to my readers in the United
States!
