Neptune Wakes Up and a Lunar Eclipse in Gemini

 



The month of November began with a bang as Mercury stationed direct on the 3rd and is ending on a high octane note as well.  On November 28 Neptune stations direct after being dormant since June 22, 2020 when it stationed retrograde in 20 degrees of Pisces. It literally wakes up in 18 degrees of Pisces on the 28th.  We all know that the power of a planet is amplified when it is stationary, whether it is retrograde or direct.  Neptune can be kind of hard to pin down.  On a lower level, it is associated with fog, chaos and lack of clarity.  But when Neptune is functioning on its highest octave, we can experience deep levels of compassion, unconditional love and healing.

Neptune direct will unfold a new level of reality for us as it brings more mental and emotional clarity.  It is great for dream work and creative endeavors, but it can also make us more inclined towards escapism.  Many of us have been doing our due diligence in the past five months in terms of soul searching and this could result in feeling like a fog has lifted.  The water signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio will undoubtedly feel even more sensitive and attuned with Neptune going direct.  It truly is time to listen to our intuition.  Neptune will be trining my Sun in Scorpio and my Cancer Midheaven when it stations direct so I know that I will feel its effects strongly.

Eclipses are famous for being known as game changers and on November 30 we have a Lunar Eclipse in 8 degrees of Gemini.  It isn’t a total eclipse, but this penumbral or partial eclipse is nothing to sneeze at.  Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, which is all about information and communication.  Feelings are bound to come to a head about information.  Truth and disclosure will prevail.  Once again, I am right in the line of fire with this planetary configuration because this eclipse is conjunct my Moon in my 8th house.

Lunar eclipses tend to shine a light on matters that were previously hidden and can bring some closure or completion to anything that we began on the New Moon in the same sign.  We had a New Moon in Gemini on May 22, so think back to what was going on in your life back then.  It is also possible that something or someone can exit your life right now.  I know that many of us had to deal with our entire way of life being altered during the past year due to the pandemic, but right now we need to trust in a sense of Divine Purpose.  That’s not to say it won’t be accompanied by a sense of sadness at whatever loss that entails, but be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to grieve if you need to.

Uranus in Taurus is heavily influencing this eclipse so expect a fair amount of nervous tension and anxiety.  On November 27, Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus in Taurus, which inspired me to tweet:


And on the 29th, the Sun in 7 degrees of Sagittarius forms an irritating inconjunct to Uranus in 7 degrees of Taurus.  This aspect adds another layer of tension as we are seeking freedom and creative self-expression.  It is eruptive energy that has a scattered quality.  It’s definitely an unsettling vibe. Uranus is the Great Awakener, but in such a challenging aspect to the Sun, it also tends to generate anger and confusion.

But this eclipse doesn’t have to be a total washout.  We have a couple of very promising aspects on this eclipse.  The Moon in Gemini is forming a supportive sextile to Mars in Aries, so don’t be afraid to act on implementing change in your life.  And Mercury in Scorpio is also forming a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn which can help us set some emotional boundaries in relationships.

The mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will bear the brunt of this eclipse.  Gemini and Sagittarius will be seeking some type of change or realignment in relationships while Virgo and Pisces will see the changes manifest in their home life or material world.

Recently, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website.  I think that November will be a pivotal month for 2020 and I wanted to share my insights with as many people as possible.  December horoscopes are up now and I now have a link to my monthly forecasts at Horoscope Junkie.  Check it out at:

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.  Check out my menu of services at:

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.

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. If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.


I am also available for tarot readings by telephone.  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. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50 which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are 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 recently learned that I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. When it becomes clearer that the virus no longer poses a threat, I will find a new space to practice. In the meantime, 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 for payment.  I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when going outside your home and staying home if you are sick.  I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
