Mercury is now
officially direct (YEAH) in Scorpio as of December 6, 2018, although we still
have to wait until Christmas Eve before it clears its shadow. But this is good news for the holiday season
as we can feel the energy moving forward.
On December 7,
2018 we have a glorious new moon in 15 degrees of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a mutable fire sign that is
all about enthusiasm, optimism, exuberance, expansion and a desire to obtain
more meaning in life in its quest for the truth. It is perfect energy for holiday parties. On December 6, 2018 the Sagittarius moon was
exactly conjunct Jupiter in 6 degrees of Sagittarius and although the new moon
is 9 degrees away from Jupiter, we will still be feeling its influence,
inspiring me to tweet:
We have a super enthusiastic #NewMooninSagittarius today that forms a wide conjunction to Jupiter in Sagittarius. Strong themes of optimism and a desire for expansion and growth that began yesterday with moon exactly conjunct Jupiter. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 7, 2018
For the most
part, this new moon will be very inspiring.
Some of us may experience a desire to travel and if we can’t do it
physically, we may channel that travel urge by learning more about different
cultures and exploring new ideas. There
is also a great deal of compassionate energy present with this new moon, which
is perfect for kicking off the holiday season. Jupiter in Sagittarius is
starting to form a square to Neptune in 13 degrees of Pisces, which can
manifest in idealism and a desire for perfection but it does lack
discrimination. Jupiter and Neptune are
definitely heavy hitters in this new moon.
The only
potential fly in the ointment so to speak with this new moon is the fact that
Mars and Neptune are conjunct in 13 degrees of Pisces. This is definitely a higher vibration that is
very conducive for creative and spiritual work.
However, we need to be mindful that the downside of this aspect is a
tendency to over idealize people and situations, as well as a desire for
escapism. Addictions are more likely to
be a problem with this aspect. The fact
that this aspect occurs in Pisces also can play out as acting in a passive
aggressive manner. Mars and Neptune are also squaring the new moon in
Sagittarius which ups the ante for deception and confusion to occur. The best use of this energy is exercise some
compassion, which is a strong Pisces trait.
This new moon
falls at the beginning of my 3rd house opposing my Gemini moon in my
8th house. I am certainly
hoping that this new moon ushers in new means of communication and positive
financial benefits. But I know that I
have to set some new intentions and make an effort.
We can take one
more planet off the retrograde list on December 9, 2018 when Chiron stations
direct in 27 degrees of Pisces. Chiron
has been retrograde since July 5, 2018 when it stationed retrograde in 2
degrees of Aries. I think it would be
fair to say that Chiron retrograde was a time of intense healing of old wounds,
especially wounds regarding feelings of victimization for most people. Healers, myself included, experienced a
cathartic healing that can only occur when Chiron is retrograde. Once Chiron is back in Aries on February 18,
2019 for the next seven years, the focus will be on healing identity
issues.
On December 9th,
Mercury in Scorpio will also be trining Chiron in Pisces, which can bring about
some deep, transformative communications that contribute to healing. I find it
kind of ironic that both of these planets have recently stationed direct in
water signs after starting their retrograde transits in fire signs. The healing
pace can be accelerated on December 10, 2018 when the moon in Capricorn forms a
supportive sextile to Chiron in Pisces.
So all of that internal healing should start manifesting on an external
level on these two days as Chiron prepares to leave Pisces. When Chiron enters Aries, a new generation that
was born between 1968 and 1976 will begin experiencing their Chiron Return.
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.

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:
