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?

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
