Summer is officially here! Both the sun and
Mercury entered the emotional water sign of Cancer on June 21, 2017, aka the
Summer Solstice, inspiring me to tweet:
Happy #SummerSolstice! The sun enters ♋️ today on east coast & conjuncts Mercury in ♋️ adding a nurturing vibe to communications. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) June 21, 2017
But we have a special astrological treat in
store for us on June 23, 2017 with a Super New Moon in 3 degrees of Cancer at
10:31 p.m. It is classified as a super
new moon because it so close to the earth’s orbit. The moon rules Cancer, and is right at home
in this emotional, nurturing, sensitive sign. This will be a very strong new
moon that will rock our emotional core and give us access to information from a
higher source. It will be a very psychic
time indeed.
This new moon also features a stellium in
Cancer—in addition to the sun and moon in Cancer, Mercury and Mars are also in
Cancer. The new moon is 3 degrees away from Mercury, emphasizing communication
and amplified emotional sensitivity. Chiron
in Pisces is a major player in this new moon as well. Chiron is currently in 29 degrees of Pisces
and 29 degrees of any sign is referred to as the critical degree. Chiron will station retrograde in 29 degrees
of Pisces on July 1, 2017 and it will not enter Aries until April 2018. The last aspect that the departing Gemini
moon makes before it enters Cancer is a square to Chiron in Pisces. This heightens emotional sensitivity and
ramps up the intensity regarding vulnerability and old wounds. It can also make us feel like victims and we
need to counteract this effect by trying to feel more empowered.
This new moon in Cancer holds the promise of
new beginnings for homes and families accompanied by a strong focus on
emotional security. The sun and moon in Cancer are also widely conjunct Mars in
12 degrees of Cancer which can make us very protective or even defensive as
insecurities can flare. But this new
moon is a marvelous opportunity to release any negativity in
relationships. It is conjuncting my
south node in the 9th house, which should be a really intense
experience. I really believe that Chiron in Pisces is giving us a booster shot
in terms of healing old emotional wounds with this new moon. And with Chiron about to station retrograde
soon we will have plenty of time to heal and release any victim issues that
have held us back. It will be a whole different ball game when Chiron enters
Aries in April 2018.
If anyone is looking to buy a new home the new
moon in Cancer is a real boon and lucky charm.
The fact that Mercury will remain in Cancer for the next two weeks (it
enters Leo on July 5, 2017) makes this the ideal time to strike while the iron
is hot. Having the sun and Mercury in
Cancer creates a real nesting vibe to enhance emotional security.
Another astrological feature of this new moon
is a cardinal T--square involving Mars in 12 degrees of Cancer, Jupiter in 15
degrees of Libra and Pluto in 18 degrees of Capricorn. This configuration could trigger issues of
fairness and equality with a strong need to rebalance. Jupiter in Libra is all about fairness and
Pluto in Capricorn is tied into power issues.
With both Jupiter and Pluto squaring Mars in Cancer, there can be a lot
of aggressive energy out there that tempts us to overreact. The best way to deal with this energy is to
observe, stand back in our own quiet space and don’t engage in power plays. That is probably easier said than done, but
it is worth remembering.
On June 24, 2017 we get a blast of powerful transformative
energy when Venus in Taurus trines Pluto in Capricorn. This aspect supports the deepening of
relationships by focusing on shared values.
It helps us to find common ground so that we are operating on the same
page in relationships and finances.
But on June 25, 2017 Mars in Cancer will be squaring
Jupiter in Libra as part of the cardinal T-square and this aspect can
definitely cause us to bring emotional battles to an extreme. Cardinal signs are known for their ability to
initiate and be rather combustible. It
is very easy to bite off more than we can chew with this aspect. Mars squaring Jupiter can trigger angers
around the issues of fairness and justice.
Mars in Cancer can be quite defensive if provoked. The effects of the Mars/Jupiter square will
be felt through the end of June and it may manifest in even more shocking news
than we’ve already seen in 2017. But
Mars in Cancer cuts us some slack in the wee hours of of June 25, 2017on the
east coast when it trines Neptune in Pisces.
Trust your instincts then and solutions to problems may arrive in the
form of dreams or other inspired actions.
If you are curious as to how these astrological
changes are impacting you or seeking more spiritual insight into your life,
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 a basic astrological reading that will offer insight
into your astrological DNA and the major themes in your life by delving into
any pressing issues, 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. If you purchase a three or
six month transit reading, I will .even take a peek at the August 2017
eclipses. The August eclipses promise to be heavy hitters because they will
occur in the signs of nodes, Leo and Aquarius. 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

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. Especially with 2017 being a
Universal Year 1, this is a marvelous time to navigate a new direction in your
life that will fulfill you and your soul’s purpose. 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.
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 in the Coolidge
Corner section of Brookline on Sunday afternoons.
But the big news is that I have created and launched a new
website devoted exclusively to my Reiki practice. Please feel free to check it
out at:
I have also launched an endeavor that will deliver my services to
you at an affordable cost in the form of package deals. I am offering four options: Silver, Gold, Platinum
and a Tarot special for my tarot clients. Please check it out at:
