There is literally no escaping the impact of the
Coronavirus these days. Many of us feel
like we are living in Armageddon with no end in sight. And it is very difficult to distinguish fact
from reality with all of the mixed messages that are coming our way. On March 15, 2020, I tweeted:
Sagittarius moon squaring Neptune in Pisces today suggests that we still may not be hearing the truth about the #CoronaVirus. There is a strong theme of deception and hidden facts. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 15, 2020
We are still under the influence of some pretty heavy
Capricorn energy. On March 20, 2020,
Mars and Jupiter will be conjunct in 22 degrees of Capricorn. How will this
aspect will play out? We could
experience more confidence, enthusiasm and courage in a new course of action to
combat this global pandemic. On the plus
side, Capricorn is a sign that is renowned for its perseverance and
endurance. So we will keep on with our
social distancing, hand washing and staying home as much as possible. But as an astrologer, I can’t dismiss the
fact that this conjunction occurs in the same degree of January’s Saturn Pluto
conjunction and that many issues from back then will resurface. None of us knew
how the Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn would manifest on a global level,
but we now know that the Coronavirus was wreaking havoc in China then.
On March 21, 2020, Saturn enters the sign of Aquarius for
the first time since the early 1990’s.
It was last in the air sign of Aquarius from February 6, 1991 through
January 28, 1994. Anyone born during
this period will be undergoing their first Saturn Return. But Saturn will only
remain in Aquarius until July 1, 2020 due to its retrograde period from May 10,
2020 through September 28, 2020. Saturn will leave Capricorn for good on
December 16, 2020 and stay in Aquarius for 2 ½ years. Saturn in Aquarius is an air sign ruled by
Uranus, so we are bound to see and hear more about the Coronavirus. Many of us in the United States were horrified
when we heard President Trump say that this health crisis could last until July
or August of this year. I can’t help but
think that Saturn is somehow involved in this.
Saturn in late Capricorn and even when it is in the first
two degrees of Aquarius will be squaring the nodes of the moon in three degrees
of Cancer for the north node (our collective journey) and three degrees of
Capricorn for the south node. This can
contribute to a feeling of being attacked and living in a siege mentality. We are literally living in a state of war that
represents the biggest threat to civilian life since World War II. If you ever wondered what it was like to live
back in those times, this is probably pretty close. We may not have rationing quite yet, but in
the past week, we have seen libraries, stores, health clubs, restaurants,
beauty salons and a host of small businesses close down. Even supermarkets are open for shorter hours. Basically we are only able to go out to
supermarkets and pharmacies to get our essentials. The economy is taking quite a hit as a result
of this pandemic. Saturn is also
squaring Uranus in early Taurus and this aspect frequently manifests as stock
market volatility. It will continue
through July 2020 and again in early 2021.
But we have to mindful of the fact that Saturn in Aquarius
is a future oriented sign, a very different animal from Saturn in Capricorn,
which is all about preserving the status quo. Saturn in Aquarius is more geared
towards social equality, humanitarianism, idealism and individual freedoms, so
there may very well be a silver lining to this huge cloud hanging over our
heads. A couple of days I was coming
home from a walk and I heard the song “What the World Needs Now is Love” blaring
from a neighbor’s home. The song was
originally recorded in 1965 by Jackie DeShannon, but I could have sworn it was
Dionne Warwick singing it and she did record it in 1966. The 1960’s were a turbulent
time and I actually interpreted hearing this song as a sign from the universe. This is what I am talking about in terms of
Aquarius energy. We do need to pull
together during this crisis even if it means that we can’t be physically
together. Aquarius is also known for its
detachment and affinity for technology, so don’t hesitate to reach out on your
cellphone or computer to call, video chat, text or email others to stay
connected.
On March 23, 2020 Mars and Pluto will be conjunct in 24
degrees of Capricorn. This is very aggressive, dangerous and combustible
energy. We need to be prepared for power
struggles, ruthless actions and perhaps more lockdowns and shelter in place
orders. Frankly, this aspect has me
feeling very scared and vulnerable because it is exactly conjunct my Chiron in
Capricorn in my 4th house.
But on March 24, 2020, we have a new moon in 4 degrees of
Aries. New moons are a perfect opportunity for setting new intentions and Aries
is ruled by Mars, making it a natural warrior. Aries is a cardinal fire sign
that is courageous and loves to initiate action. It is also conjunct Chiron in 5 degrees of
Aries, so it has a strong healing theme.
Hopefully this new moon will help us create new solutions for dealing
with the Coronavirus and winning this battle with an invisible enemy.
This new moon in Aries falls in my 6th house of
health, daily routines and service to others.
I don’t know about you, but my daily routine has definitely been
disrupted and I am scrambling to adapt.
I also wish to be of service to others, so please consider either
getting an astrology or tarot reading during this time or a distant Reiki
session to alleviate your stress and anxiety as well as heal other conditions.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. I have recently revised my menu of services
and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer
you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that
occurred on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you. It’s not too late to purchase this reading
because its effects will be felt for most of 2020. It can be purchased through
my site at:
I have also added a new reading to my menu of services, a
Clues to Compatibility reading,
which
is designed primarily for non-romantic relationships and utilizes synastry to
determine your connections with friends, family members and business
associates. Additionally, I have also decided to offer private astrology
lessons in person or by telephone.
Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.
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.
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 by telephone. 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.

The Coronavirus outbreak is causing me
to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are
concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my
in-person Reiki sessions in order to practice social distancing. A distant Reiki session is the perfect
opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted
coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My
procedure is to have a conversation with a client 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. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is $30. For your convenience, I accept PayPal and Venmo as forms of payment.
I am now offering more distant Reiki treatments to alleviate anxiety, build up your immune system and heal during the #CoronaVirus. Be safe and receive healing at home. More info on my site: https://t.co/08gLKLJOzt.— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 14, 2020

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:

I
urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective
measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social distancing, avoid
touching your eyes, nose and mouth and stay home if you are sick. I have found myself exercising at home and
going out for more walks when the weather is nice. Stay safe and healthy,
everyone!
