Gemini season is definitely humming along at a brisk pace
these days and on June 3, 2019 we will have a new moon in 12 degrees of Gemini
that will definitely speed up the action.
The sign of Gemini is renowned for becoming easily bored and craving a variety
of choices. But we may need to be mindful of the choices that we are making. Gemini is also a very social sign and there can
be a great deal of mental chatter involved in this new moon. We have Mercury in Gemini on this new moon in
addition to the sun and moon.
A new moon is considered prime time to plant new seeds but
be aware that the results of whatever seeds you sow the results may not be
apparent until the full moon in Gemini on December 12, 2019. The themes associated with a new moon in
Gemini include truth, communication and self-expression. This new moon is motivating us to take action
and get things done so that we take responsibility for what we want. Mars in
Cancer will feature predominantly in this new moon because it is conjunct the
north node in 17 degrees of Cancer, which will provide lessons about assertion
and give us the courage to speak our truth and ask what we want. On the political front, having Mars conjunct
the north node in Cancer on the day of the new moon can trigger issues about
national security here in the United States and around the world.
This Gemini new moon is squaring Neptune in Pisces and
opposing Jupiter in Sagittarius. Mercury
in Gemini is also opposing Jupiter in Sagittarius on the new moon. This aspect can be a boon to writing
endeavors, but the ongoing Jupiter/Neptune square has been problematic. That new moon wants facts, information and
the opportunity to communicate, yet Jupiter in Sagittarius is exaggerating information
with its opposition to Mercury in Gemini.
And the new moon in Gemini square Neptune can literally leave us feeling
overwhelmed and on the receiving end of some deception.
The bottom line is that this new moon holds the potential
for an inspiring, spiritual and creative time with all of these mutable planets
in motion, but we need to be mindful of our own negative self-talk and try to
correct it. Where have we been hard on
ourselves and how can we be kinder to ourselves? The new moon in Gemini is also
inconjunct Pluto in Capricorn which may require us to take a step back and detach
ourselves from certain situations to gain some perspective. In this way more may be revealed to us so
that we can feel like forward movement is possible. I know that a lot of people are feeling stuck
lately and this new moon may be what motivates us to get unstuck. It is conjunct my natal Gemini moon in the 8th
house, so I am anticipating setting aside a time to meditate, reflect, detach
and set some new intentions.
Mercury in Gemini may be in its home sign but that doesn’t
mean it hasn’t been causing communications havoc lately, courtesy of the
mutable T-square involving Jupiter in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces. On May
29, 2019 I tweeted about Mercury in Gemini opposing Neptune in Pisces, only to
have an alert follower point out my typo.
So I issued this tweet:
Correction on earlier tweet: Confusion and foggy communications may reign today with Mercury in Gemini squaring Neptune in Pisces. It’s a mutable mess and not the best day to be making major decisions. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 29, 2019
Obviously I intended to say square the first time around,
but it didn’t come out that way and is a perfect example of this challenging
communications energy. And on May 30,
2019 Mercury in Gemini was not doing us any favors with its opposition to
Jupiter in Sagittarius, which will still be affecting us on the new moon.
But on June 4, 2019, Mercury will enter the sensitive water
sign of Cancer until June 26, 2019. When
Mercury is in Cancer, we will be taking in information on a deeper, more instinctive
level and the pace will be quieter. The shadow side of Mercury in Cancer is
that it may be more challenging to be objective, but I think it will be a
welcome respite from the frenetic pace of Mercury in Gemini. Our thoughts will
be colored by our emotions and we will display more interest in what personally
affects us. It will be easier to
understand and communicate our emotions more directly and we can get closer to
others. We will be willing to share more
personal matters with others and able to discuss things that make us feel more
vulnerable. Vulnerability is a tough nut
to crack for many of us, so if we are getting a celestial hand with this issue,
I say we take it and run with it. It’s also
easier for us to listen to others when Mercury is in Cancer because we are
listening with the heart as well as our ears.
And don’t forget that when Mercury is in the sensitive water sign of
Cancer, we can trust our intuition more.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I am now offering short telephone astrology
consultations for 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services
Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35. I have been doing more work with tarot
readings, which I love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which
offers the option of a 30 minute astrology consultation with a one question
tarot reading for only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of
services can accommodate any budget.
Since I love to talk astrology and believe in making it
more available to everyone, I am now offering pay by the minute astrology
readings through Click 4Advisor. Check
it out at:
This might be the perfect way for you to get a taste of
what astrology can do for you in terms of providing insight into your life
during these challenging time. Obviously
the 30 minute readings are the best deal, but you might be surprised by how
much you learn in 10 minutes or less from a brief glance at your chart. If I am
not available you can always request a callback and I will respond quickly.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation

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

As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation
of the north node by sign. 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.
I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are
in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in
Newton, MA. I use the Celestial Tarot
Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols. A tarot reading is another great option for
obtaining insight and clarity.
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
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 at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday
afternoons. Recently I have added online
booking for my Sunday clients on my site.

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:
