Fog Alert for the next five months!
Neptune, that planet associated with associated with inspiration, dreams,
illusion, psychic receptivity, confusion, addiction, and spirituality is
stationing retrograde at 7:09 a.m. in 14 degrees of Pisces on June 16, 2017. It
will remain retrograde until November
22, 2017 when it stations direct in 11 degrees of Pisces.
What
can we expect when Neptune is retrograde?
Well, since Neptune has such a subtle, elusive quality, it may be hard
to pin down. Whenever a planet is
retrograde, its energy is internalized, With Neptune retrograde, we may find
our fears and anxieties internalized as it strips away the illusions that have
clouded our vision. It can be a truly
confusing time and many Neptunians like myself myself (Neptune in the 1st house conjunct my
ascendant) may have been feeling its
effects since the beginning of the week.
Mercury in Gemini squared Neptune in Pisces on June 13, 2017, inspiring
me to tweet:
The moon is also in Pisces on June 16th, so we can expect a great deal of emotional sensitivity and feelings of vulnerability. Health problems that are difficult to diagnose could also emerge during Neptune retrograde and we could see a rise in the number of infectious diseases.Mercury in ♊️ trining Jupiter in ♎️ today favors communication but square to Neptune in ♓️ is confusing. Dual nature of ♊️. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) June 13, 2017
The positive side of Neptune retrograde is that
it favors spiritual development. This is
an ideal time (pardon the pun) to engage in meditation and to be more aware of
our dreams. Neptune may be sending us
messages through our dreams during its retrograde stint as it seeks to lift the
veil that has been around many of us. But
it will also test our ability to discern reality from illusion.
I am a bit anxious myself about this transit
myself because when Neptune stations retrogrades in 14 degrees of Pisces, it
will be forming an exact square with my moon in Gemini. I am fully aware that I am in danger of
developing false ideals, wrong ideas, and confusing dreams with reality. With my natal moon in the 8th
house, this transit will undoubtedly increase my psychic sensitivity and
empathy. I also sense that my innate
Neptunian desire for escapism will be activated when I am confronted with the
harsher realities of life. Retreating is
my MO during times like this. Meditating and calling on that old standby of
white light will be my resources during this transit. It goes without saying that avoiding drugs is
a good idea during Neptune retrograde.
But with Neptune squaring my moon, I anticipate some emotional confusion,
overreactions, misunderstandings in relationships and a need to see things as
they really are. I certainly will have
my spiritual work cut out for me during the next five months. I need to be mindful of the fact that the key
to dealing with challenging Neptune transits is acceptance. It’s good advice
for everyone during the next five months.
Summer officially begins on June 21, 2017 at
12:24 a.m. on the east coast of the United States when the sun enters the water
sign of Cancer. This day is also known
as the Summer Solstice. In addition to
being the day when there is a change of seasons, there are other changes when
the sun enters Cancer. We become more
self-protective, nurturing, home oriented and just plain more emotional. It is
also a good time to release old hurts.
Don’t let that emotional crab shell get too hard or crusty!
Mercury, the planet of communication, also
enters the sign of Cancer on June 21st at 5:57 a.m. Mercury is moving from its home sign Gemini
into a much less objective sign. With
Mercury in Cancer, we will be processing our information on a deeper, more
instinctive level. It is less glib than
Mercury in Gemini. Communication will
take on a deeply personal and emotional vibe.
Mercury in Cancer will begin its transit in my 9th house and
conjunct my asteroid Vesta and south node before it enters my 10th
house and conjuncts my midheaven, Jupiter and Uranus. And Mercury enters Leo on July 5, 2017, so
this should be an emotional few weeks.
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:
