The Sun Enters Sagittarius and Saturn Goes Direct in Pisces


 


It has been one hell of a Mercury retrograde encompassing the signs of Sagittarius since November 9 and Scorpio as of November 18 and it's not over until November 29.  But the supercharged intensity of the Sun in Scorpio is coming to a close at 8:36 p.m. on November 21.  I am a Scorpio, but every year I am quite grateful when the Sun enters Sagittarius because there is only so much passion and intensity that a human being can tolerate.

How will it change when the Sun moves into the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius?  Our focus will shift to connecting with something bigger than ourselves as we desire to expand our horizons, see the big picture and find freedom.  We also tend to have more optimism and faith as we seek knowledge.  When the Sun was in Scorpio, we were laser focused on the darker side of life and confronting our shadows.  Yes, the Sun in Scorpio held the promise of transformation, but rebirth is not always pretty or easy.  So the Sun in Sagittarius represents a much lighter vibe which I am sure everyone will welcome after the turbulence of this month.

The Scorpio energy is not totally gone with Mercury and Venus still in Scorpio still there, but it will be a kinder and gentler vibe in the coming week with a Grand Water Trine.  On November 22, Mercury in Scorpio will be trining Saturn in 25 degrees of Pisces, which will make us more serious and careful in our attention to detail.  It is quite favorable for making long-term plans.  Mercury in Scorpio is also trining Jupiter in 24 degrees of Cancer on that day, delivering more optimism, good news and good luck.  Feel free to socialize on this day and enjoy it.

On November 24, Mercury and Venus are conjunct in Scorpio.  Communication should be more harmonious as it will be easier to express love and appreciation.  We might even receive a gift or money from someone on this day.

Venus in Scorpio is trining Jupiter in Cancer (I have this aspect natally in these signs in my chart and it is pretty sweet) on November 26, which symbolizes more love, good cheer and optimism.  It is a really nice dating aspect as well as being favorable for socializing, shopping and financial affairs. Venus in Scorpio is also trining Saturn in Pisces on that day too, which makes it an ideal time to commit to a relationship or long-term investments. Venus trining Saturn has a stabilizing influence on relationships and finances.

Saturn stations direct in 25 degrees of Pisces on November 27 after having been retrograde since July 12, when it stationed retrograde in 1 degree of Aries.  When Saturn goes direct, we can start to make some progress and delays will lift.  It is a cosmic green light because Saturn is the planet associated with structures, rules, limitations, lessons and karma. We might be dealing with more responsibilities now, but our past efforts will bring rewards. Saturn moving forward in Pisces can bring us divine inspiration, help us create structures out of creativity and facilitate creating boundaries in our relationships.  It still has a lot of unfinished business in these areas of life until it enters Aries on February 13, 2026 until April 2028.  Saturn is not that patient in the sign of Aries, but it will have us reassessing our identity, personal power and independence.

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:

A Super Full Moon in Taurus, Saturn Stations Direct in Pisces, Pluto Enters Aquarius and the Sun Moves into Sagittarius

 






Do we ever have a hectic week coming up astrologically!  It starts on November 15 with a Super Full Moon in 24 degrees of Taurus that is conjunct Uranus in 25 degrees of Taurus.  This alone has a wild card vibe.  You literally never know what Uranus is going to do but it is a given that there will be a strong desire for change and freedom. The Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon is in Taurus, so there could be major reveals about financial dealings. The Full Moon is also forming a supportive sextile to Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces, which ramps up our sensitivity, intuition and psychic abilities.  This is a beneficial aspect for creativity and meditation.  

The Moon in Taurus will also be trining Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  This is yet another aspect that increases our emotional sensitivity and psychic perception.  We can literally be transformed by our intense emotional reactions.  If you have any planets in 22-26 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, I guarantee that you will be feeling the effects of this Full Moon.  I have my natal Venus in 24 degrees of Scorpio in my 2nd house and my Pluto in 26 degrees of Leo in my 11th house, so I know that it will be intense for me.

Saturn also stations direct in 12 degrees of Pisces on November 15.  It has been retrograde since June 29, 2024 when it stationed retrograde in 19 degrees of Pisces.  It's finally time for a reality check, especially if you have planets between 10-15 degrees of the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.  Whenever a planet stations, either retrograde or direct, its influence is much stronger.  Saturn stationing direct in Pisces can call upon us to move past the victim/savior roles in our lives and set some clear boundaries.  And it can help remove whatever obstacles we have been dealing with since it stationed retrograde.  I have my natal Moon in 14 degrees of Gemini, so once again I am in the fray...

On November 16, the Sun in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus.  The urge for freedom and change continues, but it can also generate some anxiety about the sudden upheavals that have no doubt been occurring. It will definitely be another unsettling day.

Pluto enters Aquarius until March 2043 on November 19.  There is no more backtracking into Capricorn like last year; Pluto won't return to Capricorn for about 250 years.   I know that a lot of people have been looking forward to Pluto being in Aquarius and giving power to the people, but I was really struck by what astrologer Armand Diaz had to say about how ugly it can be when Pluto enters a new sign. Let's face it, Pluto was in Aquarius during the French Revolution and that was not a pretty sight.  It was downright violent in its quest for freedom. Pluto in Aquarius will bring transformation in the collective through humanitarian movements and technology, but there can definitely be an underbelly to it.  I wouldn't be surprised if there was some violence as people seek more freedom. We need to be prepared for some growing pains. Artificial Intelligence can inflict damage in addition to helping us.  I have a Cardinal T-square in my chart in the late degrees (26-29), so while I am breathing a sigh of relief that they will no longer be getting hit, I am fully aware that Pluto in Aquarius starts off by squaring my Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio before it squares the rest of my Scorpio planets: Pallas, Saturn, Black Moon Lilith, Venus and Ceres.   And midway through its transit of Aquarius, Pluto will conjunct my Mars in my 4th house. Will I survive it? Or will transiting Pluto opposing my natal Pluto in Leo bring even more drama than I can handle?  Fortunately Pluto works slowly so I have time to figure it out and adapt.

On a much lighter note, the Sun moves into Sagittarius on November 21. We will be transitioning from the intensity of fixed water (Scorpio) to mutable fire. There will be a shift from intimate connections to a deepening awareness of the big picture.  It is time to nurture our faith, hope and vision for the future. Feel free to embrace learning and travel as we expand our consciousness.  Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so enjoy the refreshing change.

The Sun, Mars and Pluto in Action Mode and the Sun Enters Sagittarius


 


Well, we are coming off one of the most intense New Moons of the year that occurred on November 13 in 20 degrees of Scorpio.  On that day I posted:
Uranus in Taurus certainly had its shot at wreaking havoc on that day, but on November 18, the Sun and Mars will be conjunct in 25 degrees of Scorpio.  This is bound to be a day of increased energy, motivation and assertiveness.  On the plus side, this will give us more inner strength, passion and fearlessness as well as enhancing our creativity.  But it can also make us more impatient and prone to temper tantrums.  Anger can easily get the best of us if we are not careful. This is not a day for sissies, to be sure. It is definitely a volatile vibe and can cause damage if we are not mindful.  It can also be a very accident-prone aspect, so watch where you are going, especially when driving.  If you have any planets in the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio between 20-25 degrees I guarantee that you will feel this energy.  It can be a wild ride on this day. This aspect is conjunct my Venus in 24 degrees of Scorpio in my 2nd house, so I am trying to be prepared for whatever might come...

The Sun in Scorpio is forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn on November 20.  It is a big deal because Pluto rules the sign of Scorpio, amplifying its intensity. This aspect will increase our need to succeed as we are more determined than ever to achieve our goals.  Power is a major theme of this aspect.  Obsession and compulsion can actually be used constructively to increase our influence and attractiveness.  With this aspect in play, the stakes are high and so are the chances of success.  The shadow side of this aspect is utilizing this aspect to control others, but let's not go there, okay?

The Sun has interacted with Mars and Pluto already, so by November 21, Mars in Scorpio has its own duet with Pluto in 28 degrees of Capricorn via a supportive sextile.  Remember that sextiles create opportunities.  Mars sextiling Pluto will bring boatloads of energy to achieve those lofty goals of ours and oodles of passionate desire.  We will have plenty of endurance and physical stamina.  This is yet another day to take the lead and run with it.  And it goes without saying not to attempt to run roughshod over others on this day.

We get a cosmic break on November 22 when the Sun departs the fixed water sign of Scorpio and enters the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius.  I am a true-blue Scorpio, but even I say this every year, all of the intensity that Scorpio entails can be too much to sustain for very long.  When the Sun is in Sagittarius, we want to have fun and adventure.  It is time to push beyond  our boundaries.  Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so expansion is possible, as is luck and more optimism.  It's time to think big and learn something new.  Traveling is another theme associated with Sagittarius.  Just be mindful of a tendency to exaggerate or blow off some steam with your temper.  Fortunately, Sagittarius is a fire sign and gets over its anger quickly, unlike Scorpio, who can hold grudges for long periods of time.  I speak from experience on that score.

And it is always nice when the Sun is in Sagittarius on Thanksgiving Day in the United States.  This year we also have a Moon in Aries trining Mercury in Sagittarius on November 23 and this should make for some lively conversations around the dinner table.  Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers in the United States!

Mars Squares Neptune Take Two and a Shift to More Mutable Energy with the Sun and a New Moon in Sagittarius







 

We are still standing and surviving as we near the end of Scorpio season.  Miraculously, we have survived the latest round of eclipses in Scorpio and Taurus that occurred on October 25 and November 8.  Granted, the dust is still clearing but we are coming out of these powerhouse eclipses stronger and ready for transformation.  The Phoenix is rising from the ashes! On a personal level, I experienced the full spectrum.  The Solar Eclipse on October 25 in 2 degrees of Scorpio conjuncted my natal Neptune in Libra and Mercury in Scorpio in my 1st house and I contracted COVID for the second time.  But by the time the Lunar Eclipse in 16 degrees of Taurus opposing my Sun in Scorpio and squaring my Mars in Aquarius happened on November 8, I was feeling much better so that eclipse literally cleared the decks for me and removed what I no longer needed. I still have a little cough and some fatigue but I am on the road to recovery and rebirth.  COVID, be gone!

On November 19, retrograde Mars in Gemini is squaring Neptune in 22 degrees of Pisces for the second time.  The first time was on October 11 when both planets were in 23 degrees of their respective signs.  Mars was direct back then and Neptune was retrograde.  Now both planets are retrograde, but Neptune will be stationing direct on December 3.  This will not be an easy day because there will be plenty of lies, deceit and a foggy vibe.  False information and inaccurate news will run rampant as feelings of confusion, frustration and disillusionment will prevail.  It doesn't help that the Sun is still in Scorpio during this time.  Try to look at it as the last remnants of eclipse season.  If you have any pressing health issues, please attend to them at this time.  We will get another hit of Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces on March 14, 2023 but both planets will be direct then.  And this could be easier because I subscribe to the theory that the third time is the charm with recurring aspects.

I know that I say it every year, but I am thrilled that the Sun is finally going to say sayonara to Scorpio on November 22.  There is just so much intensity that even a heavy-duty Scorpio can endure.  Before the Sun leaves Scorpio, it forms a beautiful and flowing trine to Jupiter in 28 degrees of Pisces on November 20.  This will help us to sense the light that is around and release old attachments and resentments.  Scorpio is a sign renowned for its resentments and grudges, but Jupiter is very comfortable in Pisces and can be quite compassionate and sensitive.  So the Scorpio Sun can go out on a high note.  This will also reactivate the energy we experienced on April 12 when Jupiter and Neptune were conjunct in 23 degrees of Pisces.  So Jupiter in Pisces can really complete its mission of blessing us with a more spiritual understanding of life.

The Sun will move into the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius on November 22.  It will join Venus and Mercury, who entered Sagittarius on the 16th and 17th of November. Passion, an increased sense of optimism, enthusiasm and an empowered state of being will be the new way of life for the next month. Our focus will be more outward directed as we seek more of an awareness of the world around us and attempt to see the big picture.  It's a major shift from the intensely focused and private fixed watery Scorpio energy.  Vive la difference!

We will really hit our stride with the Sagittarius vibe on November 23, 2022 with the New Moon in 1 degree of Sagittarius.  Just take a look at that chart; it's what I call a mutable mash.  The Sun, Mercury and Venus have left Scorpio for Sagittarius, Mars is in Gemini, Neptune, Jupiter and Juno are in Pisces, Ceres is in Virgo and even the Ascendant for the time of the New Moon, 5:57 p.m., is in Gemini.  Okay, we still have Uranus in Taurus, Saturn in Aquarius and the Nodes in Taurus and Scorpio, but we finally have some room to breathe and set our intentions for that new reality. New Moons are a perfect time to set our intentions for the future and Sagittarius is a very future-oriented sign. Jupiter is still in Pisces, but it is forming an out-of-sign and element trine to both the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius which can grant us some luck in moving forward.

Jupiter is moving stationary direct in 28 degrees of Pisces on the New Moon, which makes it even more powerful.  It increases our vision for a bigger future.  Freedom and truth will be major themes on the New Moon with Jupiter going direct in Pisces.  Jupiter is finishing up its run in Pisces and will leave for good to cruise through Aries on December 20, 2022.  Just be mindful of the shadow side of Jupiter in Pisces and don't get caught up in a need for escapism or overindulgence.  This should be a pleasant time as the eclipse energy is cleared.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much-needed clarity and guidance, especially now that we are in eclipse season. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

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 in order to practice social distancing. I no longer have my Brookline office, 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, maintaining social distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. 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!

A Powerfully Transformative Lunar Eclipse in Taurus and Here Comes the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius

 



Eclipse season is officially here with the arrival of a Lunar Eclipse in 27 degrees of Taurus on November 19.  I always tell my clients that eclipses are like Full or New Moons on steroids, and this one is no exception to that rule.  It would not be an understatement to say that this has been one super-emotional week.  The Sun is in Scorpio, which is fixed water and those still waters run deep.  With the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Taurus opposing that Scorpio Sun, we are being challenged to clear out our psychological garbage to get to the joy that the Taurus Moon promises.  If you have been contemplating therapy, this is a prime time to undertake that process. Don’t forget that Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is all about love, pleasure and material security.  And the Sun in Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which is all about transformation and power.

I have been hearing from many of my clients that they have been experiencing emotional turmoil for the past week.  Deep down we all know that change is inevitable, and that is the theme behind this year’s prevailing aspect of Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus.  We had the first hit on February 17, the second one on June 14 and the final will occur on December 24.  Both Saturn and Uranus were triggered on November 17, when I tweeted:


The Lunar Eclipse in Taurus has strong themes of security, stability, finances, possessions, loyalty and trust.  And all of this is occurring against a backdrop of change and uncertainty.  Both the Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Taurus are involved in a T-Square with Jupiter in 24 degrees of Aquarius.  This configuration calls upon us to be more open-minded as the theme of freedom is blown up.  Don’t forget that Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches.  Mercury is in 22 degrees of Scorpio, so we can expect that some more shocking news will be revealed.  But don’t count out the trine between Venus in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus to deliver some positive breakthroughs.

On November 21, the Sun will enter the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius at 9:34 p.m.  Not a minute too soon, if you ask this Scorpio.  I know that I love Scorpio season, but every year I say this that it can be exhausting after all of this deep diving into the darker side of ourselves and life.  When the Sun is in Sagittarius, ruled by jovial Jupiter, we will all feel more optimistic. Life will become more adventurous too, as opposed to the arduous nature of the Sun in Scorpio, ruled by the intense planet of Pluto.  Our desires will switch from wanting one-on-one bonds to reaching out of our inner circle and connecting with something larger than us.  It is a time to nurture our faith and vision for the future. Let the good times roll…

Mercury, the planet of communication, is about to join the Sun in the sign of Sagittarius on November 24.  It’s only there until December 13, so make the most of it.  Mercury transiting the sign of Sagittarius expands our minds so that we have more perception of the big picture.  It’s a big change from the laser-like focus of Mercury in Scorpio.  Our ideals will become very important now, but the details not so much.  Mercury in Sagittarius is intrinsically more optimistic and since it is in a mutable sign, it gives us permission to change our minds.  After the recent cluster of fixed planets in Scorpio and the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus, this will be a huge relief. Just be mindful of the fact that Mercury in Sagittarius can be quite blunt, and we should be fine.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, please consider getting an astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much needed clarity and guidance. I have recently added a new offering to my astrological services menu.  As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

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.
