The Sun enters Gemini on May 20th
and it wastes no time forming a major aspect in the form of a full moon in
Sagittarius on May 21st. The
newly minted Sun in Gemini’s curiosity opposing the Sagittarian moon’s quest
for truth promises to be a combustible combination. The full moon in Sagittarius also conjuncts
retrograde Mars in Sagittarius, which can boost our confidence, conviction and
courage while simultaneously triggering passionate exchanges, especially if you
happen to be a Sagittarius or have a moon in Gemini. My moon in Gemini is quaking already. Mercury is still retrograde until May 22nd,
so this could potentially manifest as internal angst and strife.
There is no doubt that the mind is being
energized during this full moon in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the ultimate
truth seeker and will leave no stone unturned in its quest for the truth. A major theme of Sagittarius is the big
picture, a visionary view of the future and clearing out old belief
systems. This is a pretty tall order to
fill and is further complicated by its conjunction to retrograde Mars in
Sagittarius. This is a powerful aspect that could reveal some deceptive
intentions and practices by others that pack a hurtful punch.
Full moons are also associated with endings
and are acknowledged as a time of full disclosure. On one hand, we want to embrace the vision
and new big picture that can emerge as a result of this full moon, while on the
other hand we also need to be mindful about taking action on it during a Mars
retrograde. Mars only retrogrades about
every two years, so it really is a big deal and I am not exaggerating its
importance. It’s a lot feistier and less
passive aggressive than it was in Libra back in 2014. This year’s Mars retrograde occurs in two
signs -Sagittarius and Scorpio. Mars
will station direct in 23 degrees of Scorpion on June 29th, marking
2016 as a year when Mars spends 8 months in these two signs. And one of the most noted qualities of
Sagittarius is its tendency to speak and act first before thinking. This just fuels the volatility potential of
this full moon even further.
I strongly encourage everyone to pay attention
to their dreams at this time because they may provide some answers and much
needed guidance due to Neptune’s influence. Neptune in Pisces will be squaring
that Sagittarius moon on May 22nd when Mercury stations direct. Neptune
loves to dissolve, so the veils of illusion could very well be shattered at
this time as deception could be revealed.
Mercury will station direct in 14 degrees of
Taurus on May 22nd, which will herald a collective sigh of relief
around the world. I don’t know about
you, but I think the general consensus is that this has been one tough Mercury
retrograde. It was accompanied by
Saturn, Pluto, Mars and Jupiter also retrograde. Thankfully, Jupiter stationed direct on May
9, 2016. I am a staunch believer in the
shadow period of Mercury retrograde, which means that Mercury is not fully out
of the retrograde influence until June 7, 2016 in 23 degrees of Taurus, but
there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaking of light at the end of the tunnel,
once Mercury has stationed direct, it will form a Grand Earth Trine with
Jupiter in 13 degrees of Virgo and Pluto in 17 degrees of Capricorn. This aspect can pave the way for constructive
communication and plans for future endeavors.
It also holds the potential to attract others who can assist you in your
journey. I’m sure we could all use some
help from like-minded individuals who could become part of our new tribe.
On a personal level, when Mercury stations
direct at the end of my 7th house it will be still opposing my
Saturn and Sun in Scorpio. Is it any
wonder that I have felt like I have literally had to reexamine the structure
and purpose of my life recently? What else can one do when Mercury and a galaxy
of other planets are retrograde? Mercury
will move into my 8th house on May 28th and will oppose
my Venus in the 2nd house in early June. More fun times, but at least Mercury will be
out of its shadow by then.
The north node in Virgo has an underlying theme
of service to others. In that spirit of
pursuing my path as a healer, I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in
Virgo energy by offering my Reiki services. 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.

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. Talk about regrouping and revising during a
Mercury retrograde! If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by
email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. Additionally,
I see clients at my home in Newton, Massachusetts and am generally available on
weekends and evenings for your convenience.

If you are contemplating an astrological reading to obtain more
insight into your life, especially with the recent eclipses in March and the
season of retrogrades including Mars, Pluto, and Saturn, please consider
getting an astrological reading. An astrological reading can provide valuable
insight and tools. If you are not quite
ready for a full blown natal interpretation or a solar return forecast, I also
offer one question astrological readings and composite couple readings that
offer insight into the purpose of a relationship. And I offer shorter transit
readings for three and six months. You can learn more about my menu of
astrological services at:
