Mercury and the Sun Swap Signs and a Lucky Break with Mars Trining Jupiter




Well, the July eclipses have come and gone.  The most recent occurred on July 16, 2019 and was a lunar eclipse in 24 degrees of Capricorn.  On that day I tweeted:
Hopefully we have all survived this onslaught and are integrating its lessons into our lives.  But the Cancer energy is not abating.  On July 19, 2019 retrograde Mercury slips back into Cancer until August 11th. With Mercury back in Cancer, communications will definitely become more emotional.  Mercury in Cancer gives us a second chance to express our empathy and feelings of vulnerability. Mercury will conjunct the sun in 28 degrees of Cancer on July 21st and this can manifest in some hidden truths being revealed and more understanding developing in our relationships. We are quite literally speaking from the heart as our thoughts are driven by our emotions. However, the shadow side of Mercury in Cancer is that communications could also wind up on the defensive side and we could find it more challenging to be objective. Mercury in Cancer will also conjunct Venus in 25 degrees of Cancer on July 24, 2019 and this presents a golden opportunity to express our feelings to a loved one.  It has a definite do-over theme in terms of bringing back those loving feelings and we can really reap the benefits of this aspect if we utilize its energy.

Mercury has moved from Leo into Cancer and on July 22, 2019 the sun moves from Cancer into Leo.  The sun rules Leo and is literally quite at home in Leo.  It’s a time to be creative, romantic, playful and more social.  Do what you enjoy, be proud of yourself, bask in glory and don’t be afraid to shine and strut your stuff. It’s perfect vacation energy. The sun in Leo is all about enjoying ourselves during the heat of the summer and Leo itself is a fire sign, so enthusiasm and zest for life are high during this transit.

On July 25, 2019 we get a lucky break astrologically when Mars in 15 degrees of Leo forms a flowing, beneficial trine to Jupiter in 15 degrees of Sagittarius.  This is the second and last time this year we will experience this aspect.  The first time it occurred was on January 25, 2019 when Mars was in 16 degrees of Aries and Jupiter was direct in 16 degrees of Sagittarius.  This aspect gives us a green light for success in any endeavors we choose to undertake, so don’t waste it.  If you snooze during a Jupiter aspect, you lose.  Jupiter isn’t like Saturn or Pluto in terms of nagging and reminding you of its presence.  Jupiter requires you to take action to reap its benefits.  Make the most of this day, which also features the Taurus moon conjunct Uranus in Taurus.  We could find ourselves on the receiving end of some very pleasant emotional surprises if we are open and willing to put ourselves out there.

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 and a telephone astrology consultation can be a perfect way to find out how the July 2019 eclipses affected your chart and impacted your life.  If you want a telephone astrology reading based on the July eclipses, please indicate that with a note when you purchase a reading. 

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:
