Retrograde Mercury Dips Back into Scorpio and a Potent New Moon in Scorpio

 

We are really deeply entrenched in the midst of Scorpio season in addition to Mercury and Jupiter going retrograde during the past week.  I don't know about you, but I really experienced a kick on the 12th when Mars and Mercury were conjunct in Sagittarius.  The truth was quite literally all over the place.

On November 17, the Sun in Scorpio is exactly trining Jupiter in 25 degrees of Cancer.  This is a fantastic aspect that brings growth, prosperity, good luck and opportunities for success. It is a well-deserved cosmic break.  Even if you do encounter obstacles, it helps you overcome them.  This is truly a heavenly gift, so make the most of this day.  The important thing to remember with Jupiter aspects is that if you snooze you lose, so take advantage of whatever favor circumstances cross your path.  We also have the Sun in Scorpio trining Saturn in 25 degrees of Pisces on that day, continuing the theme of a Grand Water Trine.  With Saturn in the mix, we get the perk of being rewarded for our hard work in terms of creating structures.

Mercury has been retrograde in Sagittarius since November 9 and it has been a pretty wild ride so far.  It gets even stranger on November 18 when Mercury dips back into Scorpio.  Mercury will station direct in 20 degrees of Scorpio on November 29 and remains in Scorpio until December 11.  What can we expect with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio?  Fasten your seat belts, there will be more emotional upheaval and introspection in store. There will be more probing and our minds will be laser-focused.  Scorpio is the sign associated with secrets, so we can also anticipate that some big secrets can be revealed.

On November 20, we have a New Moon in 28 degrees of Scorpio.  This one is conjunct retrograde Mercury in Scorpio and opposing Uranus in 29 degrees of Taurus.  It could very well feel like a Full Moon, mark my words.  The Uranus factor indicated the potential for Internet scams on the New Moon, as well as cyberattacks.  Uranus back in Taurus can also trigger financial volatility, especially with that Sun-Mercury-Moon opposition to Uranus.  A New Moon is prime time to set some new intentions for whatever house 28 degrees of Scorpio falls in.  It lands in my 2nd house conjunct my natal Venus in Scorpio.

This is an extremely watery and emotionally intense New Moon.  In addition to the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus in Scorpio, we have Saturn and Neptune in Pisces plus Jupiter in Cancer. Don't be surprised if you feel emotionally overwhelmed on this New Moon; you wouldn't be human if you didn't with all of this water energy.  But be mindful that some important truths could come to light that will actually set us free on this New Moon.  Medical and criminal issues can be in the headlines.  We should have the courage to dig deep to get to the truth because Mars in Sagittarius (at 11 degrees on the New Moon) will supply us with a drive for the truth.

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:
