Venus Enters Capricorn and the Sun in Sagittarius Meets up with Saturn and Neptune

 

Love and finances are about to take on a more sober vibe when Venus moves into Capricorn on December 9.  It stays in Capricorn until January 2, 2023.  The freewheeling days of spontaneity and idealism that prevailed while Venus was in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius are in the rear-view mirror now.  Mercury entered Capricorn on December 6, inspiring me to tweet:

Mercury enters Capricorn tonight for an extended stay due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde. Communication becomes more practical, rational and grounded. #astrology

Venus will be in the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn and relationships are going to be taken very seriously now.  There is a strong theme of commitment and we are much more willing to put in the effort to make things work in our relationships. We want relationships that can go the distance, not just a fun fling.  That's not to say that we can't have some fun, but we are able to acknowledge that some work is required and we are not averse to it. Cardinal signs like to take action. We can also use this time to connect with our own inner authority.  It's also an opportunity to get serious about our finances because let's not forget that Venus is about love and money.  On a personal level, Venus will be conjuncting my North Node in Capricorn in my 3rd house in mid-December and my Chiron in my 4th house at the end of December.  This should be interesting...

On December 12, the Sun in Sagittarius will be forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 20 degrees of Aquarius.  This adds another layer to the Capricorn energy.  When the Sun is sextile Saturn, we have more patience, perseverance and the ability to work hard.  We also have more self-discipline so that we can achieve more.  Bring on those accomplishments!  The Sun will be in my third house and Saturn will be in my fifth house, so I am hoping for a creative breakthrough.

The challenges start to appear on December 14 when the Sun in Sagittarius is squaring Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces.  I won't kid you about this aspect: it has themes of dishonesty, deception, lowered vitality, possible hypochondria and difficulty in diagnosing medical conditions.  We are also more sensitive to drugs and alcohol, so be aware of that.  The perk of this aspect is that it can do wonders for creativity.  Neptune is currently transiting my 6th house, so I know that I will need to be careful on day.

Mercury in Capricorn will be forming an irritating inconjunct with retrograde Mars in 13 degrees of Gemini on December 15.  This aspect can see tempers flaring and will probably require some adjustments to keep the peace.  Mars will be on my Moon in Gemini on that day, so I am hoping that no one tries to get on my bad side as I will probably be trigger happy and needing to take my own advice.

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:

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 twice. 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
