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.

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. I offer consultations on Zoom too. 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:

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.

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:

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.

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!

Sagittarius Season Kicks off as We Experience a New Moon in Sagittarius, Venus Enters Capricorn and Neptune Stations Direct




The sun is moving into Sagittarius on November 22, 2019 and the astrological vibe is about to completely shift after a month of Scorpio intensity.  But Mars just entered Scorpio on November 19, 2019, when I tweeted:
And Mercury is still in Scorpio but it stationed direct on November 20, 2019 when I tweeted:
We are getting a bit of a break from the Scorpio laser-like focus and intensity however when the sun enters Sagittarius.  Prepare to feel more joyful, feel more comfortable expressing faith and have a more optimistic view of the world as we are more able to look at the big picture.  And don’t forget about laughing, either, because Sagittarius is renowned for its sense of humor.

On November 24, 2019 Venus and Jupiter are conjunct in 28 degrees of Sagittarius.  This is very positive energy for attracting money, success and recognition.  It can also bring good luck and happiness because these two planets are known as the Benefics.  This conjunction could also bring new romantic partners. This is the last day of Venus in Sagittarius, so make the most of it.  
We also have Mars in 3 degrees of Scorpio opposing Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus on November 24, 2019 and this is definitely a wild card aspect.  Mars opposing Uranus is impatient and has an accident prone quality. Uranus in Taurus has an increased likelihood of earthquakes and volcanoes.  But the silver lining of this aspect is the potential for sudden opportunities and new ways to do old things. 

Venus enters Capricorn on November 25, 2019 where it stays until December 20, 2019.  Venus in Capricorn is much more serious than Venus in Sagittarius.  It has a heavier vibe as we assume a more responsible attitude towards relationships, finances, value and creativity.  It could also be an opportunity for getting boundaries under control in our relationships since Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.

On November 26, 2019 we have a new moon in 4 degrees of Sagittarius.  New moons always represent an opportunity to set new intentions.  A new moon in Sagittarius is an optimistic time to plant the seeds for new beginnings and lift our visions.  This new moon falls in my second house and I am definitely up for setting some new intentions regarding my values and finances.

Uranus in Taurus is heavily aspected on this new moon. This continues a theme that began with last month’s new moon in Scorpio opposing Uranus in Taurus. Both the sun and moon in Sagittarius are inconjunct Uranus in 3 degrees of Taurus and this has a major theme of breaking free.  There will be an air of excitement and awakening as we seek to get rid of stale routines in our lives and feel compelled to take more risks.  Try looking at this Uranus energy as an opportunity to face our fears, learn something new and break through to another level.  We could literally feel like we are being pushed out of our comfort zone, which is not a bad thing. I like to think of it as an exercise in developing your north node, which has always felt to me like pushing out of your comfort zone. For many years I was totally uncomfortable with having a north node in Capricorn, but I have slowly learned to embrace it and stretch out of my comfort zone. Be open to new ideas and don’t be afraid to make those ideas an adventure in expanding your consciousness and living a bigger life. Venus may have moved into Capricorn by the new moon but it is still conjunct Jupiter at the end of Sagittarius, and they are both trining Uranus in Taurus.  This can be a beneficial influence for financial improvement and romantic opportunities.  I have my natal Venus trining Uranus, so I am quite familiar with its ability to attract good fortune out of the blue.

Neptune stations direct in 15 degrees of Pisces on November 27, 2019 after having been retrograde since June 21, 2019.  Isn’t it ironic that summer started with Neptune retrograde?  Now that Neptune is awakening from it slumber and coming out of its fog, let’s use its direct motion to work on those insights that were revealed during its retrograde period.  And don’t forget that when a planet is stationary, its energy is intensified, so don’t be surprised if your dreams are particularly intense at this time.  I’d also like to echo what astrologer Pam Gregory said about using Neptune being direct to choose a more perfect reality.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I am now offering short telephone astrology consultations for 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I love, so I decided to create a new 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.

Since I love to talk astrology and believe in making it more available to everyone, I am now offering pay by the minute astrology readings through Click 4Advisor.  Check it out at:




This might be the perfect way for you to get a taste of what astrology can do for you in terms of providing insight into your life during these challenging time.  Obviously the 30 minute readings are the best deal, but you might be surprised by how much you learn in 10 minutes or less from a brief glance at your chart. If I am not available you can always request a callback and I will respond quickly.

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 Twitter at:


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

Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose coaching training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach.  It was an intense, eye-opening experience that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life.  But I left it with feelings of hope and light for the future that I want to share with others.  To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose Coaching to my menu of services.  You can read more about it at:


As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation of the north node by sign. If you are feeling stuck and need some help in getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive changes in your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a good fit for this program.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in Newton, MA.  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.
If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove blockages to healing.  It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off and can also be described as a spa for the soul to boot!   Reiki is the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.

For more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on my site:


For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing distance Reiki sessions for them.  I have a conversation with them 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 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.  I am also offering Reiki treatments at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday afternoons.  Recently I have added online booking for my Sunday clients on my site.  Check it out at:

I was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local entrepreneurs on its home page.  The Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects.  Please feel free to check it out:
