A Relatively Peaceful and Quiet Week with Saturn in Aquarius Receiving Some Beneficial Aspects

 

Rarely do I say this, but we actually have a fairly quiet week ahead astrologically.  The month of November started out particularly intense on the heels of a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25 and we had more drama with the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on November 8.  This year's Scorpio season lived up to its hype accompanied by a square from Mars in Gemini to Neptune in Pisces on November 19, but on November 16 Mercury entered Sagittarius, Venus followed suit on November 17 and on November 22, the Sun entered Sagittarius.  And on November 23, we had a New Moon in Sagittarius with Jupiter also stationing direct in Pisces.  We are no longer dealing with a plethora of planets in water signs and the energy from the recent eclipses is finally clearing.  Okay, we still have the South Node of the Moon in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces, but Jupiter is moving forward in Pisces (where it is really happy, by the way), on course to enter the fire sign of Aries on December 20. It's quite a change when the energy shifts from the fixed water sign of Scorpio to the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius.  I loved what astrologer Kathy Rose said about it as going from the darkness to the light.  Just because Jupiter is direct and we have more planets in fire signs doesn't mean that everything is suddenly going to turn out perfect, but we now have hope for the future.

On November 28, Mars in Gemini will be trining Saturn in 19 degrees of Aquarius. This is one instance where Mars and Saturn hanging out is a good thing.  Mars trining Saturn is a time to follow your passions because we have the energy, strength, ambition and perseverance to get things done.  It can be a time of smooth sailing in terms of achieving your goals, so make the most of this day.  Trust me on this one because I have Mars in Aquarius squaring Saturn in Scorpio and this is not the most harmonious combination.

Mercury in Sagittarius will be forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 19 degrees of  Aquarius on November 29.  This aspect favors discipline, organizational skills, a clear mind and good judgment.  We are on a roll.  Just be mindful of the fact that Mercury is also opposing Mars in Gemini on the same day and don't get caught up shooting yourself in the foot with impulsive retorts.

Venus in Sagittarius will be sextiling Saturn in 19 degrees of Aquarius on December 1.  On this day we will feel relationships more seriously and deeply.  But Venus in Sagittarius is also opposing retrograde Mars in 18 degrees of Gemini on the same day and this could well be the most disruptive aspect of the week.  Venus opposing Mars will ramp up the sexual tension and desire nature.  If there are any unresolved issues in relationships, tempers could flare.  This aspect also has the potential to bring financial losses if we have not been prudent with our funds. But this will definitely add some fuel to the love fires.

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, especially now that we are in eclipse season. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were 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 no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But 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 and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

Mars Squares Neptune Take Two and a Shift to More Mutable Energy with the Sun and a New Moon in Sagittarius

 

We are still standing and surviving as we near the end of Scorpio season.  Miraculously, we have survived the latest round of eclipses in Scorpio and Taurus that occurred on October 25 and November 8.  Granted, the dust is still clearing but we are coming out of these powerhouse eclipses stronger and ready for transformation.  The Phoenix is rising from the ashes! On a personal level, I experienced the full spectrum.  The Solar Eclipse on October 25 in 2 degrees of Scorpio conjuncted my natal Neptune in Libra and Mercury in Scorpio in my 1st house and I contracted COVID for the second time.  But by the time the Lunar Eclipse in 16 degrees of Taurus opposing my Sun in Scorpio and squaring my Mars in Aquarius happened on November 8, I was feeling much better so that eclipse literally cleared the decks for me and removed what I no longer needed. I still have a little cough and some fatigue but I am on the road to recovery and rebirth.  COVID, be gone!

On November 19, retrograde Mars in Gemini is squaring Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces for the second time.  The first time was on October 11 when both planets were in 23 degrees of their respective signs.  Mars was direct back then and Neptune was retrograde.  Now both planets are retrograde, but Neptune will be stationing direct on December 3.  This will not be an easy day because there will be plenty of lies, deceit and a foggy vibe.  False information and inaccurate news will run rampant as feelings of confusion, frustration and disillusionment will prevail.  It doesn't help that the Sun is still in Scorpio during this time.  Try to look at it as the last remnants of eclipse season.  If you have any pressing health issues, please attend to them at this time.  We will get another hit of Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces on March 14, 2023 but both planets will be direct then.  And this could be easier because I subscribe to the theory that the third time is the charm with recurring aspects.

I know that I say it every year, but I am thrilled that the Sun is finally going to say sayonara to Scorpio on November 22.  There is just so much intensity that even a heavy-duty Scorpio can endure.  Before the Sun leaves Scorpio, it forms a beautiful and flowing trine to Jupiter in 28 degrees of Pisces on November 20.  This will help us to sense the light that is around and release old attachments and resentments.  Scorpio is a sign renowned for its resentments and grudges, but Jupiter is very comfortable in Pisces and can be quite compassionate and sensitive.  So the Scorpio Sun can go out on a high note.  This will also reactivate the energy we experienced on April 12 when Jupiter and Neptune were conjunct in 23 degrees of Pisces.  So Jupiter in Pisces can really complete its mission of blessing us with a more spiritual understanding of life.

The Sun will move into the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius on November 22.  It will join Venus and Mercury, who entered Sagittarius on the 16th and 17th of November. Passion, an increased sense of optimism, enthusiasm and an empowered state of being will be the new way of life for the next month. Our focus will be more outward directed as we seek more of an awareness of the world around us and attempt to see the big picture.  It's a major shift from the intensely focused and private fixed watery Scorpio energy.  Vive la difference!

We will really hit our stride with the Sagittarius vibe on November 23, 2022 with the New Moon in 1 degree of Sagittarius.  Just take a look at that chart; it's what I call a mutable mash.  The Sun, Mercury and Venus have left Scorpio for Sagittarius, Mars is in Gemini, Neptune, Jupiter and Juno are in Pisces, Ceres is in Virgo and even the Ascendant for the time of the New Moon, 5:57 p.m., is in Gemini.  Okay, we still have Uranus in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius and the Nodes in Taurus and Scorpio, but we finally have some room to breathe and set our intentions for that new reality. New Moons are a perfect time to set our intentions for the future and Sagittarius is a very future-oriented sign. Jupiter is still in Pisces, but it is forming an out-of-sign and element trine to both the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius which can grant us some luck in moving forward.

Jupiter is moving stationary direct in 28 degrees of Pisces on the New Moon, which makes it even more powerful.  It increases our vision for a bigger future.  Freedom and truth will be major themes on the New Moon with Jupiter going direct in Pisces.  Jupiter is finishing up its run in Pisces and will leave for good to cruise through Aries on December 20, 2022.  Just be mindful of the shadow side of Jupiter in Pisces and don't get caught up in a need for escapism or overindulgence.  This should be a pleasant time as the eclipse energy is cleared.

These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much-needed clarity and guidance, especially now that we are in eclipse season.

The Sun and Saturn Have it Out and Mercury and Venus Are on the Move into Sagittarius

 

We are not out of the woods yet after the recent Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on November 8.  On November 11, the Sun in Scorpio and Saturn in 18 degrees of Aquarius are exactly square each other.  Saturn in Aquarius has not exactly been dormant in this eclipse; the Taurus Moon was squaring it on that day.

What can we expect when the Sun squares Saturn?  Be prepared for a day of testing (one of Saturn's favorite things), challenges, lots of responsibilities and a tendency to be depressed or pessimistic.  It really is a test of character, so we are going to need to buckle down and do the hard work that is required.  If we don't, we will live to regret it because Saturn has a way of catching up with us and making us pay the piper.  Just saying...  There is no shortcut.

But Venus and Mercury are in Scorpio for a few more days and they are actually going to have some easier aspects before they depart Scorpio for Sagittarius.  On November 12, Mercury in Scorpio will be trining Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect will stimulate our creativity, imagination, sensitivity and spirituality.  We should find it easier to communicate in a more compassionate manner.  We'll take it! Then on the 13th, Venus in Scorpio will be forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn.  This is big because Pluto rules Scorpio and sextiles represent opportunities.  When Venus sextiles Pluto, we have the opportunity to deepen love to an intense and even more spiritual level.  We are willing and able to discover our true feelings.  Mercury follows suit with its own sextile to Pluto in Capricorn on November 14.  Mercury in Scorpio sextiling Pluto in Capricorn is not afraid to get to the bottom of things and dig deep.  It is definitely up for some research and we will not hesitate to engage in conversations on a more intimate level.

Venus enters Sagittarius on November 15 and stays in the mutable fire sign until December 9.  Romance will flip from intense to buoyant as we seek more adventure in love and are up for trying something new and different.  We don't want to be fenced in and more willing to take risks.  Don't try to force commitments while Venus is in Sagittarius and watch your credit cards because we might be prone to excessive spending.  Otherwise, this is a welcome relief from the intensity of Venus in Scorpio.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 17 and remains there until December 6. Mercury in Sagittarius shifts our mental focus to learning more about a wider range of topics.  The laser-like intensity of Scorpio is gone.  We will be feeling more philosophical and less precise, so details could get ignored.  We are more into the big picture.  Mercury in Sagittarius is more optimistic, humorous and friendly.  But its shadow side can include a tendency to be tactless, so watch out what you say to others.  Mercury in Scorpio can be very calculated with its zingers but Mercury in Sagittarius just doesn't have any filters.  Just be mindful of that and you should enjoy the transit of Mercury in Sagittarius. 

Just remember to breathe and we will all survive.  Relief is on the way with the Sun entering Sagittarius on November 22 and a New Moon in Sagittarius on the 23^rd along with Jupiter stationing direct on the New Moon.  More on that next week…

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, especially now that we are in eclipse season. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

A Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus That Changes Everything

 

The games have begun with this eclipse season.  We had our first one last week, a Solar Eclipse in Scorpio on October 25 when I tweeted:

Today is the big #SolarEclipse in Scorpio that has a strong theme of releasing what is no longer serving our best interests in order to create space for a rebirth. The conjunction to Venus in Scorpio pertains to love and finances. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 25, 2022

As I mentioned previously, I was a bit concerned about this one because it conjuncted my natal Neptune and Mercury.  On October 28 I developed a sore throat and took a COVID test on the 29th.  It was negative, but I started coughing and feeling worse the next day, so I took another COVID test on October 31.  This one was positive and it is was not the kind of news I wanted to hear.  I had COVID back in April 2020 and have been ultra-diligent about wearing a mask when I go out, so I have no idea how I got it.   I was up to date on my vaccinations  and boosters, too. But Mars is retrograde in Gemini and is squaring Neptune, which is currently in my 6th house.  And Saturn in Aquarius has been squaring my Sun in Scorpio, which has literally made me feel like I am being pummeled. I immediately called my doctor's office to see if I could obtain a prescription for Paxlovid.  I started taking it on Monday night in addition to another pill for my cough.  I am hoping it does the trick because I certainly don't fancy the thought of another six-week siege with COVID.

The next eclipse (they come in pairs, you know) occurs on November 8, 2022 in 16 degrees of Taurus.  This one has all of the earmarks to be even more of a game changer than the Solar Eclipse in Scorpio.  It is conjunct Uranus in 16 degrees of Taurus and the North Node in 13 degrees of Taurus.  A Lunar Eclipse conjunct Uranus is bound to bring massive changes and upheavals. It is a North Node Eclipse which has a theme of endings that create space for our future collective destiny.  It is rife with the issues of crisis, potential catharsis and major shifts.  It is a literal breakdown of the old order for permanent changes.

There is a tremendous energy of fixed energy involved in this eclipse to boot. The Sun and Mercury are conjunct in Scorpio and Mercury is opposing Uranus in Taurus, which can deliver shocking news and shine a light on some major secrets.  It's a bit disconcerting that the United States is having its midterm election on this day. Don't forget that Venus is also in Scorpio and opposes Uranus in Taurus on November 5, which can be very tough on relationships, bringing power struggles and this vibe is prime for breakups.  The South Node is in Scorpio, what we need to release, and on November 2, Venus was conjunct the South Node, which could have brought some kind of loss.  On November 5, the Sun in Scorpio will be conjunct the South Node, which could bring news about more people transitioning who have made a major difference in our lives.  And on November 6, Mercury in Scorpio conjuncts the South Node, further reinforcing the theme of change and transformation.  If it sounds like I am beating a dead horse with this release theme, I am just telling it like it is. The planets aren't lying.

Adding to this fixed energy is Saturn in 18 degrees of Aquarius which is still in orb of squaring Uranus in 16 degrees of Taurus.  This can bring earthquakes, but many of us will experience it as frustration and breakdowns.  It is the past versus the future and control versus freedom.  I suppose the most constructive way to interpret it is to view it as the breakdown to breakthrough.  I read somewhere that we should be able to take responsibility for our own freedom and I kind of like that theory.

This has been an emotionally intense week and I suspect it will continue for the rest of Scorpio season.  So don't be surprised if you find yourself crying a lot these days; it's a big part of the emotional release.  The themes of this Lunar Eclipse will involve the  Scorpio Sun's issues of power, debts and secrets and the Taurus Moon's issues of security, safety and money.  All of these things can change in the blink of an eye.  I think that we all need to be ready to accept that whatever happens this month will permanently alter our lives.  Something will end and I would also encourage you to think back to the Solar Eclipse on April 30 in 10 degrees of Taurus.  What was happening in your life back then?  Did you start something new which is either seeing fruition or are you deciding to cut your losses and walk away if it hasn't been working out?

I can't completely ignore the fact that retrograde Mars in 25 degrees of Gemini is squaring Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces, which can create a build-up of energy that isn't going to go anywhere yet.  It is draining our sense of clarity.  This is a mutable mash that can find us being mentally scattered and it too is a player in this Lunar Eclipse.

This Lunar Eclipse in Taurus is opposing my Sun in Scorpio and squaring my Mars in Aquarius.  In terms of endings, I certainly hope that my latest bout with COVID will be a sense of closure as a result of this eclipse.  My COVID isn't as debilitating as the first time, but it has certainly been physically and emotionally draining.

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, especially now that we are in eclipse season. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

I am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, Skype or Zoom.  Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a 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.  As a direct result of the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on March 13, I introduced a new one-question tarot reading. These can be done by phone or video.

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were 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 no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But 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 and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. 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 necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. 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! 

Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology
