The sun may be winding down its transit in Scorpio, but there is still plenty of Scorpio energy influencing us. We had a major belt of it earlier this week with the Sun Mercury conjunction in Scorpio on November 11, 2019 and the Full Moon in Taurus on November 12, 2019. These aspects inspired me to tweet:
We have a rare Mercury transit today with a sun Mercury conjunction in Scorpio. Mercury is actually visible for 5 hours as a black dot across the sun. But Mercury retrograde could bring more misunderstandings and crises. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 11, 2019
We have an extremely powerful #FullMoon in Taurus today that opposes retrograde Mercury in Scorpio increasing the likelihood of deep secrets being revealed. But the moon trining both Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn help us transform. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 12, 2019
But the strongest Scorpio energy is yet to come. On November 19, 2019 Mars enters the sign of
Scorpio until January 3, 2020. Mars is
very strong and potent in the sign of Scorpio and in the sign of Aries, the two
signs it rules. Until Pluto was
discovered, Mars was deemed to be the ruler of Scorpio. When Mars is transiting Scorpio, we have the
ability to act on our deepest desires.
We are more driven and focused on getting what we want. It bears repeating that Scorpio is fixed
water, so we have more tenacity and perseverance when Mars is in Scorpio. In fact, we may be attracted to crisis because
we perceive it as transformative and emotionally exciting as we find it easier
to work through difficult challenges.
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself craving extreme emotions during
this transit.
When Mars is in Scorpio we have no fear of confronting the
darker side of life and it’s a perfect time for psychological
self-examination. A strong sense of
purpose prevails while Mars is in Scorpio.
Mars transiting Scorpio also holds the potential for helping us to
develop our personal power if we can avoid the pitfalls of power struggles,
revenge, resentment and an inability to forgive. These pitfalls represent the
shadow side of Scorpio, so we will need to be mindful or we could wind up
expressing unrelenting aggressiveness and anger. While Mars in Scorpio is definitely more
direct and assertive than Mars in Libra (where it has been since October 4,
2019), there is also a tendency to be manipulative and act in a
passive-aggressive manner with Mars in Scorpio.
I’m just warning you about yet another potential pitfall that could
exist with Mars in Scorpio.
Mars will be in Scorpio throughout the holidays and during
the last eclipse of 2019 on December 26, 2019 in 4 degrees of Capricorn. The year 2020 will start with Mars in 28
degrees of Scorpio and that will be hitting my chart in terms of conjuncting my
Venus in Scorpio, trining my Uranus and Jupiter in Cancer and squaring my Pluto
in Leo. I sense that there will be
plenty of action for me to start the year 2020.
On the following day, November 20, 2019 Mercury stations
direct in 11 degrees of Scorpio, which should bring a collective sigh of relief
around the world. Communications should start
returning to normal but please be mindful of the fact that Mercury doesn’t
officially clear its retrograde shadow until December 7, 2019 in 27 degrees of
Scorpio. This means that Mercury will
not be operating at full speed until December but we should all notice some
improvement when it stations direct.
When a planet stations retrograde or direct, its influence
is stronger than normal. On November 20,
2019 the moon in Virgo is favorably sextiling Mercury in Scorpio, which
encourages us to talk about family and relationship problems. I don’t know about you, but I have found that
this Mercury retrograde was particularly frustrating. It conjuncted most of my Scorpio planets,
squared my Mars in Aquarius and opposed my Pluto in Leo. I will definitely be
relieved to see Mercury moving forward.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I am now offering short telephone astrology
consultations for 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services
Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35.
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:
