It’s do-over season, folks. Between June 17th and June 20th,
we have opportunities to have a do-over in all matters ruled by
Sagittarius. Sagittarius is associated
with the search for truth, adventure, travel and wisdom while being challenged
in the area of tact. That Sagittarian
honesty can at times lead to downright bluntness. On June 17, 2016 Saturn in
Sagittarius forms the second of three squares with Neptune in Pisces. The first occurred on November 26, 2015 which
was Thanksgiving Day in the United States.
Both Saturn and Neptune were direct in 7 degrees of their respective
signs. On June 17, 2016 both Saturn and
Neptune are retrograde in 12 degrees of their respective signs. The frustration we feel with both planets retrograde
may have more internal than external ramifications. The third exact square
between Saturn and Neptune occurs on September 10, 2016 in 10 degrees of both
signs. Saturn will be direct then but
Neptune will remain retrograde.
And on June 20, 2016 we will have our second
full moon in Sagittarius in 29 degrees, the first having occurred on May 21,
2016 in 1 degree of Sagittarius. The 29th
degree of any sign is frequently referred to as the Anaretic or critical
degree. It has a profound sense of
urgency associated with it, as it is truly feeling like the last chance to get
the lesson of that sign right. I have my Jupiter in 29 degrees of Cancer and I
can attest to the veracity of that feeling.
The Saturn Neptune square is a deeply
challenging aspect because it forces a major reality check. Saturn is all about reality, hard work and
structure. It doesn’t have the moniker of
the Taskmaster planet for nothing! And Neptune loves its idealism, fantasy,
spirituality and escapism. When these two planets tango, it becomes
increasingly difficult, if not nearly impossible, to escape or remain in a
state of denial. Scattered illusions abound,
as do feelings of confusion and depression.
Oh, yeah baby, Saturn is all about depression too. Ask anyone who is undergoing a major Saturn
transit and they will attest to that.
Another potential downside of this aspect is that artists, musicians and
writers may experience creative blockages under the auspices of this aspect. Currently
Neptune is transiting my 5th house of creativity and Saturn is
camping out in my 2nd house of values and finances. Is it any wonder that I am counting the days
until Saturn is direct and out of my second house on November 6, 2016?
Saturn in Sagittarius squaring Neptune in Pisces
is literally a battle royal between reality and idealism. What a clash! Saturn in Sagittarius is
putting us through our paces by presenting us with challenges and limitations
in the process of making our dreams come true. Michael Lutin nails the theme of the Saturn
Neptune Square brilliantly with these words:
“Deep Look Where the Truth Becomes Lies and Lies Become the Truth and
you cannot differentiate between crime and sin…..”

And now a drum roll for the Full Moon in 29
degrees of Sagittarius on June 20, 2016. The themes of wisdom, the power of
beliefs and expansion of consciousness re-emerge as the Gemini Sun’s curiosity
faces off with the Sagittarius moon’s sharp instincts. There could be a new big picture visible
during this full moon. This full moon
widely trines Uranus in 22 degrees of Aries, which can trigger a jolt of
awakening adrenaline when things happen fast. The moon in Sagittarius inspires
us to trust our higher moral conscience to discern what is real and true for us
personally. The full moon in Sagittarius
trines my Pluto in Leo in the 11th house, so this should be an
interesting time to say the least…
The other planets are very active during this
full moon. Venus entered the sign of Cancer on June 17th and the Sun
enters Cancer on the evening of June 20th, marking the Summer
Solstice. Summer is officially here! And
Mercury in Gemini is squaring off with Neptune in Pisces on June 20th,
so pay attention to your dreams.
Mysticism, idealism and creativity can soar on that day. The north node and Jupiter in Virgo are conjunct,
emphasizing a theme of selfless service to the world. And Neptune in Pisces is conjunct the south
node so perhaps it will lift the veil over the fog of whatever is karmically holding
us back.
If you need further proof that this is a time
of do-overs, I’d like to share some words from astrologer Joseph Addeo regarding
retrograde Mars in Scorpio that appeared in the June 14, 2016 NCGR newsletter:
“Mars retrograde is passing over the same late degrees of Scorpio
that retrograde Saturn hit last summer.
In a nutshell, the challenges manifested from Saturn’s transit last
summer area being actively reprocessed as Mars brings them back up for review and
another chance for healing, emotional processing and transformation. The summer has a déjà vu feeling in order to
achieve a final purging and cleansing.
Then when all is said and done a new beginning can occur when Mars
catches up to Saturn on August 24.”
Food for thought, n’est pas? This is yet another indicator that we all may
be forced to revisit an issue from the summer of 2015 that challenged us. But we have the opportunity to move forward
on August 24th when Mars and Saturn hook up in 7 degrees of
Sagittarius on August 24, 2016.
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.
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. Additionally, I see clients
at my home in Newton, Massachusetts and am generally available on weekends and
evenings for your convenience.

I have also recently become a member of the Fellowship of
Massachusetts Energywork Practitioners. It

If you are contemplating an astrological reading to obtain more
insight into your life, especially on the heels of the recent powerful new moon
in Gemini and the second full moon in Sagittarius of 2016, the Saturn Neptune
square, 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 which might help you navigate
the summer months a little easier. If you purchase a six month transit reading,
I will even look at how September’s eclipses affect you! You can learn more
about my menu of astrological services at:
I can assure you, courtesy of the Gemini Sun Uranus in Aries
sextile of June 14th, that the PayPal feature of my Services page is
now working properly so that there will be no further mishaps in purchasing
readings.

Happy Fathers Day!
