Mercury Goes Direct, Venus Enters Sagittarius and a Super Full Moon in Gemini

 

Save the day of November 29 because it will be a day of rejoicing: Mercury will FINALLY station direct in 20 degrees of Scorpio after having been retrograde since November 9, when it stationed retrograde in 6 degrees of Sagittarius.  Communication will get back on track and delays will start to fade away. This might have been a briefer Mercury retrograde than usual at 20 days, but I personally think it was the toughest Mercury retrograde of 2025 and I have been hearing that from many other people.  

When Mercury stationed retrograde in Sagittarius, people were acting more irrationally and reacted with a tendency to make demands.  Retrograde Mercury moved back into Scorpio on November 18, which had a tendency to trigger bouts of paranoia.  Major themes of Mercury retrograde in Scorpio involved speaking our truth and delving deeply into past emotional patterns that are still affecting.  Obviously, the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio bore the brunt of this Mercury retrograde, but the remaining fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius as well as the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo and Pisces took a hit too. Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio was opposing Uranus in Taurus on November 19, which was quite intense and could have played out as electrical malfunctions.  I know that I had my share of electrical outages during this Mercury retrograde.  And when Mercury stations direct on November 29, it will be one degree away from my Sun in Scorpio in my 2nd house, so I know that something heavy will go down.  Mercury will move back into Sagittarius on December 11 and will clear its retrograde shadow on December 16 when it its 6 degrees of Sagittarius.  But the bottom line is that there is light at the end of the tunnel...

Venus moves into Sagittarius on November 30 and remains in the mutable fire sign until December 24.  It will be much lighter than Venus in Scorpio laser-focused intensity that is characterized by a desire for freedom, spontaneity and optimism.  Truth and seeking a higher meaning in life will take a front seat now, as will socializing, a craving for excitement.  Adventure rules.  But we can also be inclined to take more risks financially when Venus is in Sagittarius.

On December 4, we have a Super Full Moon (very close to the earth) in 13 degrees of Gemini. This one is chock full of mutable energy: the Sun, Mars and Venus are in Sagittarius, the Moon is in Gemini, Saturn and Neptune are in Pisces, while the North Node is in Pisces and the South Node is in Virgo.  Mutable planets are very adaptable, flowing and chameleon like but they tend to make us feel everything is all over the place.  On the plus side, we are more able to go with the flow.

Our dreams will probably be very heightened on this Full Moon.  The house of the chart that it falls in will undoubtedly bring some closure or completion.  This Full Moon is conjunct my natal Moon in Gemini in my 8th house, so this will be a big one for me.  The sign of Gemini is ruled by Mercury, so it should be very active and social media could be quite busy.  This can also denote a crossroads for many people with a karmic choice to be made that releases us from the old order.   The Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Gemini are squaring the Nodes in Pisces and Virgo, creating a mutable Grand Cross, reinforcing the theme a major decision.  The South Node in Virgo indicates that we might need to release some daily habits or health issues.  Relationships and finances could have major implications with the Moon in Gemini opposing Venus in Sagittarius.  The fact that the Sun, Mars and Venus are in Sagittarius illuminates the big picture and our dreams.  Trust my words that secrets will come to light on this Full Moon.

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:
