Gemini Season is in Full Force as Mercury in Gemini Sets off a Mutable T-Square


Well, we are definitely in the thick of Gemini season now that both the Sun and Mercury entered the mutable air sign on May 21, 2019 and were conjunct.  On that day I tweeted:
When the sun is transiting the sign of Gemini, it is high time to be open to change and connect on an intellectual level.  Does the phrase think outside the box ring any bells? We will be very open to socializing during this time. As for Mercury transiting Gemini, well, Gemini is one of the two signs it rules (Virgo is the other), so it is right at home and very strong.  Mercury in Gemini increases the amount of information that is disseminated.  Messages tend to be sharp and quick-witted, but because Gemini represents duality and is literally the sign of the twins, be mindful that a double message could be sent.  If you have any doubts, be sure to ask questions, because there is a good chance that all is not as it appears.  Communications will be edgy, witty, bright and light.  Due to the mutable nature of Gemini, we can find ourselves easily distracted, more adept at multi-tasking, and more able to go with the flow and be more flexible mentally.

Mercury in Gemini is forming a couple of challenging aspects next week that will require some major reality checks.  On May 29, 2019, Mercury in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces, which can distort our thinking and make us more prone to substance abuse as a way of escapism.  On the following day, May 30, 2019, Mercury in Gemini opposes Jupiter in Sagittarius.  This can add to the confusion in communications because Jupiter ignores the bad and exaggerates the good. And Jupiter and Neptune have been involved in an ongoing square since January 2019 that will last until the third and final exact square on September 21, 2019.  The first one occurred on January 13th and the second will occur on June 16, 2019.  The theme of the Jupiter Neptune square is to test our faith due to disappointments.  It cautions us not to be overly optimistic.  So Mercury in Gemini is activating a mutable T-square because it squares Neptune in Pisces and opposes Jupiter in Sagittarius.  Jupiter has a tendency to gloss over the details and take on more than it can handle.  One of the best ways to describe this planetary action is biting off more than you can chew.  And then of course Neptune is all about denial, escapism and fantasizing about the good things. With all of this mutable energy at seeming cross purposes, we are challenged to find a balance between being too provocative and too boring.  Mercury in Gemini will be conjunct my Gemini moon in the 8th house but will actually be in my 9th house when all of this action is going down, so it should be illuminating or confusing.  I’ll see how it plays out…

But on May 27, 2019 the United States is celebrating the holiday of Memorial Day, which is the unofficial start of summer.  The moon is actually in the compassionate, sensitive water sign of Pisces on that day, which is a fitting placement for Memorial Day remembrances.  That Pisces moon conjuncts Neptune, which is very inspirational and it sextiles Venus in Taurus, which is perfect energy for socializing. It also squares Jupiter in Sagittarius, so the party theme and tendency for too much of a good thing is also present. But it is a holiday.  Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

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 in the amount of your choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter at:


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. 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 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 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.  Check it out at:

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:
