Relationships Get a Boost as Venus Sextiles Saturn, Mercury Retrogrades in Sagittarius and a Boost of Energy with the Sun Trining Mars

 




The season of Sagittarius is upon us, Pluto is permanently in Aquarius for the next 20 years and we have yet another Mercury retrograde looming in Sagittarius on November 25 just in time for the holidays.  But first we have a really positive aspect in store on November 22.  Venus in Capricorn is forming a supportive sextile to Saturn (FINALLY direct as of November 15) in 12 degrees of Pisces.

What can we expect when Venus is sextiling Saturn?  For starters, it increases our need for companionship and fosters stability in relationships.  It gives us a common-sense approach and resolutions to recent difficulties are easier to find.  Mutual understanding is possible as we experience more clarity in addition to the ability to establish boundaries and foundations.  Since Venus also rules finances in addition to love, this is also a fortuitous day for business dealings, purchases and creative endeavors.  It's a perfect segue into the weekend, so enjoy it.

Mercury retrograde officially starts on November 25 in 22 degrees of Sagittarius and officially ends on December 15 in 6 degrees of Sagittarius.  I use the word officially because we need to realize that the shadow period began on November 7 and the shadow will end on January 2, 2025.  Mercury is not that comfortable in Sagittarius; it's actually considered to be in detriment because Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo.  Mercury in Sagittarius can be extremely blunt.  Mercury in Sagittarius will definitely travel heavily and it can cause us to rethink our plans and ideals.  It could also affect our Thanksgiving dinner table talk; don't say that I didn't warn you... Another potential manifestation of this Mercury retrograde is that we might need to insure and track whatever gifts that we send.  Then there are the usual Mercury retrograde effects: missed connections, delays in travel, misunderstandings and electronic malfunctions.  There is one bright spot during this Mercury retrograde: the Sun and Mercury are conjunct or Cazimi on December in 14 degrees of Sagittarius.  This might actually bring us some sharp focus on the lessons of this particular Mercury retrograde.  It goes without saying that while everyone feels Mercury retrograde to some extent, anyone with planets in 6 to 22 degrees of the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will bear the brunt of it.  I can't wait for it to hit my Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini!

We do have another delightful aspect to be grateful for in the coming week.  On November 27, the Sun in Sagittarius will be trining Mars in 5 degrees of Leo.  This aspect provides a burst of energy and a strong urge to take action.  It literally supports decisive action and pursuit of our passions with confidence.  It also boosts our self-confidence and enthusiasm.  We can make an excellent impression on others.  Enjoy this day and make the most of it.  

I would like to wish my American readers a Happy Thanksgiving on November 28 but be mindful that it could be intense because the Moon is in Scorpio on that day and it is squaring Mars in Leo....

I would also like to announce that I am no longer posting on X (formerly known as Twitter), but I am posting daily on Blue Sky Social as danceofphoenix@danceofphoenix.bsky.social. There is an astrological community starting there called AstroSphere. The link is https://bsky.app/profile/danceofphoenix.bsky.social.

If you are curious as to how all of this planetary action is affecting you, please consider getting an astrological consultation with me. Check out my menu of services at:

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. 

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 Blue Sky Social at: 

https://phoenixscorpio.blogspot.com/p/services-offered.html

 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.  Or you can send a contribution using Zelle and my phone number 617-304-2205.

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. Just let me know which type of consultation you want with your birth date info.  Or you can send a payment to my Venmo account at Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7 or Zelle using my phone number 617-304-2205.

In 2020, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website. November horoscopes are up now and I 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 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!
