Fireworks Erupt on July 4 when Venus and Uranus Meet up in Taurus Before Entering Gemini, Neptune Goes Retrograde in Aries and a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 10

 

Venus and Uranus are conjunct in 29 degrees (yes, the anaretic last degree) of Taurus on July 4 at 8:45 a.m.  Themes of sudden changes and excitement with love and/or money are running rampant.  Venus rules Taurus and is very happy there while Uranus is distinctly uncomfortable there. This promises to be an exciting day, to say the least.  Venus moves into Gemini at 11:31 a.m. on that day and remains in Gemini until July 30.

When Venus in Gemini, love has a more fun-loving, lighthearted and flirtatious vibe.  We can find ourselves craving variety and spontaneity.  If we are single, we could literally be torn between two lovers.  Venus in Gemini also has an intellectual edge to it, so we could find ourselves attracted to someone's mind.  All in all, Venus in Gemini favors socializing, meeting new friends and partying.  Friends could become lovers during this time and we could develop quite the spendthrift attitude towards money this month.

Neptune stations retrograde in 2 degrees of Aries on July 4 at 5:34 p.m. until December 10, when it goes direct in 29 degrees of Pisces.  Neptune will re-enter Pisces for its unfinished business on October 22.  Neptune retrograde can be a very subtle transit.  It can actually help to fade away some illusions and help us to reevaluate our dreams while deepening our spirituality.

Uranus enters Gemini on July 7 but it's a teaser of what's to come in the next seven years because Uranus will station retrograde in 1 degree of Gemini on September 6 and move back into Taurus on November 7.  Uranus will be retrograde until February 3, 2026 when it stations direct in 27 degrees of Taurus.  Then Uranus will be in Gemini from April 25, 2026 through May 22, 2033.

When Uranus is in Gemini, we can anticipate disruption and sudden changes in how we think, communicate and travel short distances.  Uranus is much happier in the mutable air sign of Gemini than it was in the fixed earth sign of Taurus.  But Uranus in Gemini is also associated with wars and conflicts.  The United States of America experienced the Revolutionary War during its run from 1774-1778; its own Civil War when Uranus was in Gemini from 1858-1865 and got involved in World War II during the last transit of Uranus in Gemini from 1941-1949.  Uranus has an 84-year cycle.  And the last time Uranus was in Gemini it dipped back into Taurus from early October 1941 through May 1942.  It is commonly thought that this particular transit of Uranus in Taurus (1934-1941) was associated with the rise of dictators around the world.  It did lead to World War II.  There will undoubtedly be even more rapid technological advancements this time around with Uranus in Gemini too.

On July 10, we have a Full Moon in 18 degrees of Capricorn that can signal some movement towards achieving our goals.  I know, most people get rather freaked out with a Full Moon, especially one opposing the Sun in sensitive water sign of Cancer that the Moon rules.  There could very well be some big reveals on this Full Moon, especially on the heels of Uranus moving into Gemini on July 7.  But this Full Moon in Capricorn is forming a beneficial trine with Mars in 13 degrees of Virgo, which can give us a boost in terms of our actions bearing fruit.  The Full Moon in Capricorn quite literally represents a crossroads in our journey because it is also in harmony with the South Node of the Moon in 20 degrees of Virgo courtesy of a beneficial trine, helping us to break free of our bondage from the past and forming a supportive sextile to the North Node of the Moon in 20 degrees of Pisces.  We could very well be presented with some opportunities to move forward...

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 in Leo Gets Very Busy with Saturn, Neptune and Pluto Before it Enters its Retrograde Shadow

 

Mercury in Leo is definitely quite active this week before it starts slowing down and entering its retrograde shadow in 4 degrees of Leo on June 30.  That's right folks, Mercury retrograde will be official on July 18 when it stations in 15 degrees of Leo until August 11.

On June 27, Mercury in Leo will be trining Saturn in 1 degree of Aries.  Trines are positive aspects, and this one will help us focus on details so that we can make those important decisions.  This is a very favorable aspect for making long-term plans and signing contracts.  Think of it as a cosmic green light for moving forward.  

Since Saturn and Neptune are traveling together in Aries, it should come as no surprise that Mercury in Leo will be trining Neptune in 1 degree of Aries on June 28.  This aspect will stimulate our creativity, imagination and spirituality.  We are more sensitive to vibrations, more intuitive and able to communicate in a more empathetic manner with compassion.  We are also able to see the big picture more easily.  As someone who has a Mercury-Neptune conjunction, I can attest to the fact that when these two planets get together, we can definitely be more psychic and intuitive.

Mercury in Leo will be opposing Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius on June 29.  This promises to be a very intense day.  Secrets could be revealed and things can come to a head.  Mind control, intimidation and psychological abuse are the worst-case scenarios for this aspect.  Both Mercury and Pluto are squaring my natal Mercury in Scorpio while Pluto is conjunct my progressed Sun in Aquarius, so I have no doubt that I will be feeling this aspect quite acutely.  Anyone who has planets or points (Ascendant, Descendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) in 0-3 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will be in the line of fire.  Conspiracy theories could surface too.  There is a tremendous surge of mental intensity and we run the risk of being consumed by obsessions.  There can very well be heated arguments and power struggles on this day.  It is possible, however, to channel this energy constructively by facing deep-seated psychological issues.  Therapists could see a surge in business as a result of this aspect.  All I can say to you is pick your battles wisely on this day...

Mercury starts slowing down and enters its retrograde shadow on June 30 in 4 degrees of Leo, stations retrograde in 15 degrees of Leo on July 15, goes direct on August 11 in 4 degrees of Leo and clears the retrograde shadow on August 25 when it hits 15 degrees of Leo.  Interesting times are ahead.

The Sun Enters Cancer, Meets up with Jupiter, an Illuminating New Moon in Cancer and Mercury Moves into Leo for an Extended Stay

 

Summer is officially here on June 20 at 10:42 pm when the Sun enters Cancer for the Solstice. When the Sun is in the cardinal water sign of Cancer, we are more focused on nesting, security and experiencing deep emotions.  Never forget that Cancer is ruled by the Moon.  We are inclined to be more nurturing and protective when the Sun is in Cancer, but the shadow side of the Sun in Cancer is moodiness.

The Cancer Sun doesn't waste any time getting into it with the other planets.  On June 22, the Sun in Cancer is squaring Saturn in 1 degree of Aries.  This is not exactly a lighthearted aspect.  It can be accompanied by challenges and tests, as well as feelings of depression and pessimism.  There could be restrictions and responsibilities galore.  It can bring a test of character, so do your best to meet your obligations or you could wind up regretting it down the road.  

We do have a saving grace aspect on June 22, though. Mars in Virgo is forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 2 degrees of Cancer.  Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which means that Mars sextiling Jupiter can make us feel stronger and more courageous to tackle those difficult tasks that we are facing.

On June 24, the Sun and Jupiter are conjunct in 3 degrees of Cancer.  Some astrologers are referring to this as the luckiest day of the year.  Feelings of well-being, happiness and optimism will be out in full force. Personal and spiritual growth are out in full force.  We can also be feeling more generous towards others.  Make the most of this day.

We have a New Moon in 4 degrees of Cancer on June 25.  This particular New Moon can provide a fresh start in our home life and with our emotions.  It's possible to move into a bigger place, especially with New Moon conjunct Jupiter in Cancer.  But the New Moon in Cancer is also squaring Saturn in 1 degree of Aries and Neptune in 2 degrees of Aries.  If you have any planets or points in the early degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, you will feel this quite acutely.

When the New Moon in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries, it can be difficult to connect with people in a meaningful way.  The theme of restriction looms and we can experience feelings of depression, sadness, loneliness and guilt.

The New Moon in Cancer's square to Neptune in Aries can manifest as confusion and emotional insecurity.  Our feelings can be very easily hurt because we are so emotionally sensitive. The Neptune factor also makes us vulnerable to deception, but it can make us more empathetic towards others if we choose the high road.

We have yet another complicating factor with this New Moon.  Mercury in 28 degrees of Cancer is forming an opposition to Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius.  Secrets could be revealed; matters can come to a head and some people might demonstrate a complete lack of moral compass in their quest for power and control. I don't know about you, but I have been reeling from the actions by some people in this world, both on a personal and collective level.

Mercury moves into Leo on June 26 for an extended stay until September 2.  That's right, we have another Mercury retrograde coming up on July 18, when it stations retrograde in 15 degrees of Leo.  It will station direct on August 11 in 4 degrees of Leo.

What can we expect with Mercury in Leo?  Communication will be bolder, more confident, creative and dramatic.  It's a very social vibe too and is extremely favorable for public speaking and leadership roles.  It is really a time to shine and strut your stuff.

Mars in Leo Squares Uranus in Taurus, Jupiter in Cancer Squares Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Mars Moves into Virgo

 

Don't expect June 15, Father's Day, to be a particularly calm or loving day.  We are still feeling the effects of the Full Moon in Sagittarius that occurred on June 11 and we have two extremely powerful aspects on June 15.  Mars in Leo is forming an exact square to Uranus in 28 degrees of Taurus and Jupiter in Cancer is squaring Saturn in 1 degree of Aries.

Mars in Leo squaring Uranus in Taurus has themes of impulsiveness, cravings for excitement, recklessness and sudden actions.  It can be a very accident-prone vibe, so be careful driving.  I certainly hope that there are no more plane crashes.  Conflict is possible.  The Moon is in Aquarius on that day and it is inconjunct Mercury in 12 degrees of Cancer, which only serves to heighten the volatility factor which is in high gear from June 11-16. Harsh words could be flying all over the place. Uranus rules the sign of Aquarius. Both Mars and Uranus are in fixed signs, which implies a great deal of stubbornness.  Uranus in Taurus can involve changes pertaining to stability and finances.  If you have any planets in the late degrees of the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio), I guarantee that you are going to feel this aspect intensely.  Mars will be conjunct my Pluto in Leo, so I know this one won't be easy...

Remember last week I said that even though Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, it won't be smooth sailing right away?  On June 15, Jupiter in Cancer squares Saturn in 1 degree of Aries. This aspect screams inner tension and limiting circumstances.  Jupiter wants to expand and Saturn is all about structures and testing us.  There can also be financial hardships with Jupiter squaring Saturn.  A crisis point can emerge that forces us to end destructive behavior patterns like excessive criticism and addictions.  I am not going to sugarcoat this aspect; it can be a real struggle to overcome limitations but hard work and determination will pay off. It can be a day when our patience is sorely tested.  Anyone with planets in the early degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will bear the brunt of this aspect.

Mars gets out of Leo on June 17 and enters Virgo, where it resides until August 6.  Mars is the planet of passion and what motivates us.  Mars in Virgo is all about the details; we are galvanized to get things right and perfect.  Mars is in an earth sign now, which can be much more practical and rational than in a fire sign. Anger can erupt if things aren't right, though. Try not to let your inner perfectionist sabotage you or be too critical. When Mars is in Virgo, we can also have a tendency to overanalyze.  We can use the transit of Mars in Virgo constructively to help others and embrace a more holistic lifestyle.  Paying attention to the details of our health to improve is a positive use of this energy.

Jupiter in Cancer will be squaring Neptune in 2 degrees of Aries on June 18.  Jupiter squaring Neptune can cause overindulgence, overoptimism and over-idealism as well as a lack of discrimination.  We can also experience a strong desire for escapism.  Our faith might be tested on this day.  It is definitely not the best day to gamble.  If you need some escapism on this day, try a safer form of indulging through streaming some movies or TV shows.

A Week of Major Planetary Shifts as Venus Enters Taurus, Mercury and Jupiter Move into Cancer and a Potent Full Moon in Sagittarius

 

The month of June is off to a roaring start and it gets sweeter on June 6 when Venus enters its happy place of Taurus until July 4. Venus rules both Taurus and Libra, so it functions optimally in both signs.  Love is about to become kinder and softer with Venus in Taurus.  We can embrace a common sense approach to both love and finances.  Sensuality rules; it's time to get in touch with the pleasures of our 5 senses.  Feel free to pamper and spoil yourself.  It's a perfect time to enjoy the arts too.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Taurus is overindulgence.

Mercury is on the move too.  It zips into Cancer on June 8 until June 26.  Our thinking and communication are set to become softer and more intimate.  We are also more willing to share ourselves more personally with others.  Be prepared to express a big case of the feels.  Intuition is much stronger now because Mercury is in a water sign.  And we are more inclined to listen with our hearts.

Jupiter is moving into the sign it is exalted in- Cancer, on June 9 until June 30, 2026.  Jupiter hasn't been in Cancer since June 2013 through mid-July 2014 because it operates on a twelve-year cycle.  Jupiter represents growth, abundance and good luck.  Jupiter transiting Cancer can also expand our emotional nature and create opportunities for a dream home life and family.  Friendships can be expanded too because many people consider their friends to be family. Self-care is also important when Jupiter is in Cancer.  Anyone who has Jupiter in Cancer (that's me) will be experiencing their Jupiter Return.  I have Jupiter at 29 degrees, so I won't get my Jupiter Return until 2026 but by September 2025 Jupiter will be entering my 10th house before it conjuncts my Uranus and Jupiter in Cancer.  But first it will conjunct my South Node in Cancer in July, which I expect will bring a release from the past.  I know that it did back in 2013; I decide to leave my job in the world of academia back then.

It won't always be smooth sailing when Jupiter first enters Cancer because it will be squaring Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This period will last approximately from June 9 through 20.  We can be prone to over idealism and bubbles can burst.  Jupiter in Cancer can also make us overly emotional and protective, which represents its shadow side.  Just watch out for overeating, being overly sentimental or getting caught up in the past.  I know this will be an issue for me...

On June 11, we have a super potent Full Moon in 20 degrees of Sagittarius.  It could be rather explosive in a fire sign, especially with a Grand Fire Trine involving Mars in 26 degrees of Leo and Chiron in 26 degrees of Aries with that Full Moon in 20 degrees of Sagittarius.  It is a very restless and independent vibe that can have a strong theme of I'm doing it my way. The Full Moon in Sagittarius is also inconjunct Uranus in 28 degrees of Taurus, adding to the volatility and unpredictability.  We just might have to make some adjustments on the fly.

With Chiron prominently featured,  it could bring intensified awareness of deep emotional wounds to initiate some healing.  Don't count out Chiron's influence.  I know that I am still reeling from the conjunction between Chiron and Venus that occurred on June 1.  The Full Moon in Sagittarius trining Mars in Leo can feature more irritation and conflict, but it also holds the potential for positive action to be taken.

Mercury in Cancer is in a supportive sextile to Venus in 4 degrees of Taurus on the Full Moon, which has the promise of words that can heal our relationships.  Overall, this Full Moon has a strong theme of getting out of your comfort zone, as truth, action and healing are major players.  Try to aim for something bigger and have the courage to move toward uncharted territory.

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 Much Quieter Week Astrologically with Venus in Aries and Mercury in Gemini Taking the Stage

 

Now that we are in the process of adjusting to the shift of Saturn being in Aries, which it entered on May 24, we can do little coasting until Venus, Mercury and Jupiter change signs before the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11.  We also had a rather delightful New Moon in Gemini on May 26 which featured a conjunction involving the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Gemini and supportive sextiles to Neptune and Saturn in Aries.  Mercury moved into Gemini on May 25. Basically, most of the action in the coming week involves Venus and Mercury.

The month of June commences on the 1st with a conjunction between Venus and Chiron in 25 degrees of Aries.  This is probably the most challenging aspect that we will face this week.  Venus conjunct Chiron urges us to find the courage to confront our wounds and face our hurt feelings.  We might find ourselves dealing with some changes in relationships.  Try to have some empathy for those who have hurt you, which may be easier said than done. Just remember that the only way out is through while trying to choose love over fear. Of course this aspect will have a stronger impact on those who have planets or points in the late degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.  Once again, I am right in the line of fire.  This conjunction falls in my 7th house and opposes my Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra in my 1st house while squaring my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house as well as my Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house. It could very well prove to be an interesting day for me...

Venus in Aries is really kicking up its heels on June 4 when it forms a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 28 degrees of Gemini.  Venus and Jupiter are known as benefic planets and a sextile aspect can bring opportunities for good luck and growth. This is really nice energy for partying, relaxing, socializing and making money.  It's also a perfect dating vibe, so if you are single and looking for a partner, by all means get out there and mingle. Just be mindful not to overindulge or overspend because Jupiter does have a tendency to expand whatever it touches and go overboard.  Jupiter's philosophy is that you can never have too much of a good thing.

On the following day, June 5, Mercury in Gemini will be sextiling Mars in 23 degrees of Leo.  This will speed up our minds and reflexes.  Mercury is right at home in Gemini, one of the two signs it rules (the other is Virgo) and it is quite literally fueling Mars in Leo so that we can achieve a great deal on this day.  Mercury sextiling Mars provides courage, ambition while emphasizing directness and honesty.  We can absorb new information faster than usual and our words have more power.  It can also facilitate setting boundaries in relationships.  It is really a win-win day, so make the most of it.
