November is a Very Busy Month as Venus Squares Jupiter before It Goes into Scorpio, Mars Enters Sagittarius and a Full Moon in Taurus

 

November promises to be quite an active month astrologically from the get go.  On November 2, Venus in Libra squares Jupiter in 25 degrees of Cancer.  There can be a tendency to make big promises that we can't keep or to splurge on items we can't afford.  We might also be inclined to jump into new relationships without any sense of discrimination.  It is a great day for socializing but not so much for doing hard work.  Fortunately it does fall on a weekend day.  Diets can be abandoned on this day as temptation could be the ruling theme.

Mars leaves Scorpio on November 4 and moves into Sagittarius until December 5.  When Mars is in Sagittarius, we are motivated or driven to get more and we can see possibilities that we previously didn't as we approach obstacles with optimism.  We are also in the mood to take risks easily and act more impulsively.  But we can go too far.  Don't forget that Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, which loves to expand whatever it touches. It has a lighter feel than Mars in Scorpio, but it can be pretty sharp and blunt.  Mars in Sagittarius will be opposing Uranus in Gemini on that day, which can spark sudden outbursts of anger and resentment.

The Full Moon in 13 degrees of Taurus happens on November 5. A Full Moon in Taurus has themes of practicality, stability, perseverance and grounding.  But there is a need to release our need for control, which the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius don't exactly have an affinity for.  So, I am issuing a spoiler alert that anyone who has planets in 10-15 degrees of these fixed signs will feel the impact of this Full Moon.  Once again, I am in the line of fire with my Saturn in 12 degrees of Scorpio in my 1st house.

What else is going on during this Full Moon?  Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius are opposing Uranus in 0 degrees of Gemini, which can bring shocking announcements, as well as impulsive speech and action.  But there is some positive energy with this Full Moon in Taurus.  We have a Grand Water Trine involving the Sun in Scorpio, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and Jupiter in Cancer.  This influence can bring healing to relationships and foster creativity.  The Moon in Taurus is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in Cancer, which can heighten our optimism, generosity and sense of idealism. This can bring a sense of harmony to relationships.

Venus leaves one of its favorite signs of Libra (Taurus being its other favorite) on November 6 to dive into one of its least favorite signs, Scorpio, until November 30.  I can say this with all honesty because I have a natal Venus in Scorpio.  When Venus is in Scorpio, passion rules as we crave more meaningful experiences that are full of depth and intimacy.  Love can become quite obsessive when Venus is in Scorpio.  We are determined to leave no stone unturned as we shine a light on the shadows of our relationships. A reality check is coming, like it or not.  Power struggles and money issues in partnerships can surface now.  Relationships can literally be transformed at this time because emotions will be intense.  The shadow side of Venus in Scorpio involves an inability to forgive, jealousy, possessiveness, fear of betrayal and vindictiveness.  But Venus in Scorpio also has the ability to demonstrate great loyalty and devotion to its loved ones, which is no small feat.

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:
