Mars Enters Sagittarius, Saturn in Pisces Calls the Shots and a Full Moon in Gemini

 

The Sun might be in Sagittarius as of November 22, 2023 and Mars will enter Sagittarius on November 24 until January 4, 2024, but that doesn't mean the intensity of November is over.  Far from it.

Mars in Sagittarius is a whole different animal from Mars in Scorpio, which it has been in since October 12, 2023.  Mars is a co-ruler of Scorpio, so it is intense and strong in the fixed water sign of Scorpio.  Mars in Sagittarius is motivated by higher ideals, as well as a search for truth and justice. We could also be driven to learn and travel.  When Mars is in Sagittarius, it is very easy to act judgmental and preachy.  It is also in a mutable fire sign, so it is extremely easy to lose one's temper.  The perk of having Mars in a fire sign is that it blows over quickly.  You certainly can't say that about Mars in Scorpio, which can hold a grudge for eternity.  

But Mars in Sagittarius runs into some trouble when it squares Saturn in 0 degrees of Pisces on November 25. This aspect represents conflict and a need to integrate the energies of the two planets involved so that they can co-exist.  I know this all too well because I have a natal Mars-Saturn square involving Mars in Aquarius and Saturn in Scorpio. It can literally feel like you have one foot on the gas and the other foot on the brake, which gets you nowhere fast. Frustration is the name of the game, for sure. Patience is not one of my strong points, so it is an ongoing battle for me. And while pivotal role in my life. When Mars in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces on the 25th, we are going to be dealing with a major theme of delayed gratification and a need for patience.  Sagittarius is a very impatient and impulsive sign and is not exactly compatible with Pisces. But they are mutable signs, so there is hope for finding a way to integrate these energies.  We are not going to be able to get what we desire (Mars) as quickly as we want because Saturn is making us work for it to achieve our goals.  Saturn loves to test us and that is one of the way it teaches us.  

The Sun entered Sagittarius on November 22 and on the following day, November 23, it too squared Saturn in Pisces.  This wasn't the most jolly and expansive energy for a Thanksgiving holiday, but I hope that my American readers managed to find some joy and a reward for whatever efforts we had to expend on this day.

We do have one other astrological event happening on November 25.  Mercury enters its retrograde shadow in 22 degrees of Sagittarius. Mercury officially goes retrograde on December 13 in 8 degrees of Capricorn until January 1, 2024 when it stations direct in 22 degrees of Sagittarius.  Mercury will clear its retrograde shadow on January 21, 2024.  The bottom line with this Mercury retrograde shadow period, as well as the full-fledged Mercury retrograde, is to avoid purchasing any electronic devices if you can help it.  Enough said...

On November 27, we have a Full Moon in 4 degrees of Gemini.  This is going to be a juicy Full Moon that can reveal secrets and can indicate the ending of the old order. It can be volatile and intense, as Full Moons are wont to do, so try to breathe before saying anything you might regret.  There is a preponderance of mutable planets involved in this Full Moon: the Sun, Mars, Mercury, and Ceres in Sagittarius, the Moon in Gemini and Neptune and Saturn in Pisces.  So, emotionally, we can be all over the place. The heavy emphasis in Sagittarius planets has us seeking freedom, truth, optimism and feeling quite restless.  We can also be very opinionated and judgmental. We will not escape the influence of Saturn with this Full Moon, as we are still feeling Saturn in Pisces squaring the Sun in Sagittarius, which can manifest in limitations, fears and control issues.  It is a good time to be totally honest about your fears. It is also squaring the Moon in Gemini, which can lead to a feeling of being controlled by our emotions.  It represents an opportunity to set some boundaries in relationships. And the Moon in Gemini is opposing Mars in Sagittarius, which only adds fuel to the emotional fire. Neptune in Pisces is squaring Mercury in Sagittarius, which can add a dose of creativity or confusion.  The Moon in Gemini will offer choices, but it can make us somewhat indecisive. We can feel like we are confronted with a smorgasbord.  I guarantee you that it won't be boring.  I have a natal Moon in Gemini myself, and I can tell you that mental stimulation, learning and talking about your feelings is a viable option.

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, 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

The Sun, Mars and Pluto in Action Mode and the Sun Enters Sagittarius

 

Well, we are coming off one of the most intense New Moons of the year that occurred on November 13 in 20 degrees of Scorpio.  On that day I posted:

The #NewMoon in Scorpio is today and it can feel like an eclipse with both the Sun and Moon in Scorpio opposing Uranus in Taurus. We can expect some upheavals so hang in there… #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) November 13, 2023

Uranus in Taurus certainly had its shot at wreaking havoc on that day, but on November 18, the Sun and Mars will be conjunct in 25 degrees of Scorpio.  This is bound to be a day of increased energy, motivation and assertiveness.  On the plus side, this will give us more inner strength, passion and fearlessness as well as enhancing our creativity.  But it can also make us more impatient and prone to temper tantrums.  Anger can easily get the best of us if we are not careful. This is not a day for sissies, to be sure. It is definitely a volatile vibe and can cause damage if we are not mindful.  It can also be a very accident-prone aspect, so watch where you are going, especially when driving.  If you have any planets in the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio between 20-25 degrees I guarantee that you will feel this energy.  It can be a wild ride on this day. This aspect is conjunct my Venus in 24 degrees of Scorpio in my 2nd house, so I am trying to be prepared for whatever might come...

The Sun in Scorpio is forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn on November 20.  It is a big deal because Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio, amplifying its intensity. This aspect will increase our need to succeed as we are more determined than ever to achieve our goals.  Power is a major theme of this aspect.  Obsession and compulsion can actually be used constructively to increase our influence and attractiveness.  With this aspect in play, the stakes are high and so are the chances of success.  The shadow side of this aspect is utilizing this aspect to control others, but let's not go there, okay?

The Sun has interacted with Mars and Pluto already, so by November 21, Mars in Scorpio has its own duet with Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn via a supportive sextile.  Remember that sextiles create opportunities.  Mars sextiling Pluto will bring boatloads of energy to achieve those lofty goals of ours and oodles of passionate desire.  We will have plenty of endurance and physical stamina.  This is yet another day to take the lead and run with it.  And it goes without saying not to attempt to run roughshod over others on this day.

We get a cosmic break on November 22 when the Sun departs the fixed water sign of Scorpio and enters the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius.  I am a true-blue Scorpio, but even I say this every year, all of the intensity that Scorpio entails can be too much to sustain for very long.  When the Sun is in Sagittarius, we want to have fun and adventure.  It is time to push beyond  our boundaries.  Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so expansion is possible, as is luck and more optimism.  It's time to think big and learn something new.  Traveling is another theme associated with Sagittarius.  Just be mindful of a tendency to exaggerate or blow off some steam with your temper.  Fortunately, Sagittarius is a fire sign and gets over its anger quickly, unlike Scorpio, who can hold grudges for long periods of time.  I speak from experience on that score.

And it is always nice when the Sun is in Sagittarius on Thanksgiving Day in the United States.  This year we also have a Moon in Aries trining Mercury in Sagittarius on November 23 and this should make for some lively conversations around the dinner table.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers in the United States!

Mercury Moves into Sagittarius, a Volatile Mars Uranus Opposition and an Intense New Moon in Scorpio

 

Hang on for a wild ride.  On November 10, Mercury departs the fixed water sign of Scorpio for the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius.  It stays in Sagittarius until December 1, 2023 and then returns to Sagittarius on December 23, 2023 through January 13, 2024 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde that starts on December 13, 2023.

What can we expect when Mercury is in Sagittarius? Well, for starters, Mercury is actually in detriment in Sagittarius because Mercury rules its opposite sign, Gemini. So it is not a comfortable Mercury.  Mercury in Sagittarius is very opinionated and is up for converting people to its beliefs.  When Mercury is in Sagittarius, there can be a lot of preaching going down. It is definitely not too focused on details, as it is more globally oriented.  This is a big change from the meticulous and focused Mercury in Scorpio.  

Mercury in Sagittarius will form a square with Saturn in 0 degrees of Pisces on November 10.  This is an uncomfortable aspect that has a theme of confrontation with someone who said something to you that was hurtful.  Saturn in Pisces tends to have a mistrust of words, so this can be a rough day.  Just warning you...

On November 11, Mars in Scorpio will be in exact opposition to Uranus in 21 degrees of Taurus.  This is an extremely volatile aspect that can bring earthquakes, natural disasters and political upheavals.  Mars opposes Uranus approximately every two years; the last time it occurred was on November 14, 2021 in 12 degrees of Scorpio and Taurus.  We can expect lots of impulsiveness and eruptions of anger that trigger immediate action which will have long-term repercussions.  There can also be major issues with seeking freedom. This can also be an accident-prone aspect, so be very careful driving. The positive side of this aspect is that it does give us courage to break free from stagnant routines.  This aspect will be in effect through November 14, so it sets the stage for the New Moon in Scorpio on November 13 and is a major player.  And it goes without saying that if you have any planets in 20-23 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, you will be feeling the effects of this aspect big time.

On November 13, we have a New Moon in 20 degrees of Scorpio.  A New Moon in Scorpio can bring a fresh start, healing and rebirth, but it isn't always comfortable.  This New Moon is also conjunct Mars in 22 degrees of Scorpio and Ceres in 24 degrees of Scorpio.  It's a heavy Scorpio influence and I know that I am going to feel its intensity because it occurs the day after my birthday and is also conjunct my Venus in 24 degrees of Scorpio.  Ceres is exactly conjunct my natal Venus.  Ceres is associated with nurturing, self-worth, attachment and loss.  All of this action is playing out in my 2nd house.  

The New Moon in Scorpio is also trining Neptune in 25 degrees of Pisces, which can heighten our creativity and intuition.  If by any chance you meet someone on this New Moon, the relationship that develops could have a real soulmate feeling.  The New Moon in Scorpio is also forming a supportive sextile to its ruling planet Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn, which can expose deeply buried emotions and lead to a rebirth.  This is also the official end of Eclipse Season, which is a welcome concept for all of us.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading with me.

A Week of Oppositions, Saturn Moving Direct and Venus Entering Libra

 

We can all heave a collective sigh of relief now that the eclipses are over, but there is still plenty of planetary action happening in November.  On November 3, the Sun in Jupiter is forming an exact opposition with Jupiter in 10 degrees of Taurus.  As oppositions go, this one isn't bad.  It's a pretty nice vibe that can actually generate quite a bit of productivity.  It will make us very optimistic, which could make us overly idealistic.  Just be mindful of that tendency...

Venus in Virgo is opposing Neptune in 25 degrees of Virgo on November 3 and this opposition can be a little more problematic.  Oppositions tend to create a push/pull energy as we need to accept the power of imbalance.  Venus opposing Neptune is bound to be quite emotional and it can manifest in some disappointments as we might be inclined to engage in over idealization, which is part of Neptune's trip.

Mark the day of November 4 as another big day with the planets.  Mercury in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in 21 degrees of Taurus.  When Mercury is opposing Uranus, we have a strong desire to break free of past notions and concepts.  It also increases the likelihood of unexpected news.  I know, can we take any more sudden news blasts?  There is also the chance for manipulative energy to be enacted.  If you have any planets around 21 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, you will feel this aspect acutely.

On November 4 Saturn will finally move direct in 0 degrees of Pisces after having been retrograde since June 17, when it stationed retrograde in 7 degrees of Pisces.  Saturn represents a reality check; scores will be settled and karma will be accounted for.  But please remember that when a planet is stationing its power is intensified for around five days, before and after the actual station.  Saturn is the planet renowned for making us feel stuck and frustrated.  It is going to feel emotionally heavy at this time.  We could very well feel powerless over the structures in our lives now.  Saturn is also in the sign of Pisces, which is the last sign of the zodiac, and one in which it is not particularly comfortable.  Pisces is also associated with being a victim, so I urge everyone to let go of what hasn't been working for you (that is what Saturn retrograde has been trying to teach us) and surrender.  Surrender is a big theme for the sign of Pisces and we need to acknowledge its importance. I honestly believe that if we can let go, we will find it easier to implement changes and make some progress once Saturn clears its stationary period and picks up full steam. 

We do have a treat in store for us on November 8 when Venus enters Libra.  Venus rules Taurus and Libra, so it is definitely in its happy place here.  Venus remains in Libra until December 4.  When Venus is in Libra, we tend to be more social, diplomatic and charming.  Idealism and kindness tend to prevail in relationships. We are also seeking balance in relationships and compromise is easier to achieve. Just be mindful that we are also going to be more attracted to beauty and the arts while Venus is in Libra, and this could lead us to spend more money.  The only other pitfalls with Venus in Libra are indecisiveness and dependency on others.  Be careful not to be too people-pleasing and this should be a very enjoyable transit.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading with me.

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. I also have a one-question tarot reading for only $15. 

Please consider purchasing a tarot reading for $15. This is perfect if you want some insight into yourself right now regarding a specific situation and how you can transform the challenges into opportunities. Check it out on: https://t.co/CvAZB7Fyvr pic.twitter.com/EKYmrZCn6l

A contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice.

Additionally, I am 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.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com.

In 2020, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website. November horoscopes are up now and I now have a link to my monthly forecasts at Horoscope Junkie.  Check it out at:

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, 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 also wanted to note that in an ironic twist of fate, the latest variant of COVID is EG.5, with a nickname of Eris.  Sound familiar--the Goddess of Discord?  Apparently, COVID cases and hospitalizations are on the rise...

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. 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
