It has been an extremely difficult and challenging week
with the Coronavirus. The fact that we
had a full moon in Libra on April 7, 2020 only intensified the emotional angst
as the death toll rose. On that day I
tweeted:
We have a complicated and especially intense #fullmoon in Libra that features Mars in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. This aspect increases the likelihood for more sudden upsets and disruptions. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) April 7, 2020
The Aries energy is still strong and about to get even
stronger when Mercury enters the cardinal fire sign of Aries on April 11, 2020
where it stays until April 27, 2020.
Mercury finally cleared its retrograde shadow on March 29th in
12 degrees of Pisces. Mercury in Aries
will be a whole new ballgame when it comes to communications. Mercury in Aries tends to benefit from quick
thinking; it doesn’t dawdle over decision making. Communication is more direct and spontaneous. Long-range thinking is easier than when
Mercury was in Pisces; we want to take actions on new ideas and implement
them. We should be feeling more
courageous and innovative while we are open to bursts of inspiration. Mercury in Pisces may have led us to be more
compassionate towards others, but its shadow side involved aligning with a victim
mentality. Mercury in Aries will fight
to overcome this invisible foe called Coronavirus.
Mercury in Aries can actually be a potent ally for us in
the battle against Coronavirus if we don’t get tripped up by the shadow side of
Mercury in Aries: its tendency towards impatience. But many of us are probably feeling even more
impatience in these days of staying at home and tempers could be flaring. Lockdowns are by no means fun and they serve
to remind us of how many of our freedoms have been restricted and that
prolonged periods of confinement take their toll on our mental health. I can’t help thinking that Saturn’s entrance
into Aquarius, however briefly this year (only until July 1st when
it re-enters Capricorn and then it returns to Aquarius on December 17, 2020) is
partially responsible for the restrictions on social interactions. Who ever thought we would need to stand in
line to be allowed to shop in a supermarket?
But now that supermarket workers, in addition to healthcare workers, are
dying from Coronavirus, stricter measures are being enforced. They are truly our heroes these days and they
deserve respect and protection. I live
in Massachusetts, and we are projected to experience the peak of this pandemic
from April 10th through April 20th, so I have no doubt
that the restrictions will be more stringent in the days to come.
On April 14, 2020, the sun in Aries will form an exact square
to Pluto in Capricorn in 24 degrees of their respective signs. This aspect is hitting me very
personally. Pluto is conjunct my natal
Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house and I have a natal Sun Pluto
square with my Scorpio sun and Pluto in Leo.
This could definitely be a day involving power struggles. We may be feeling a need to be in control and
ego conflicts with authority figures could ensue. There is a strong likelihood of experiencing
a crisis that leads to extreme or destructive behavior. This aspect can trigger deep psychological
issues involving fears, death or losing control. But the silver lining of this
aspect is that it is very transformative and can lead to rebirth and a greater
sense of inner power. Let’s hope that we
all get to experience that transformation without too much pain.
On April 15, 2020 the sun in 25 degrees of Aries forms an
exact square to Jupiter in 25 degrees of Capricorn. This aspect won’t be as challenging as the
sun’s square to Pluto, but it can be perceived as a two edged sword because it
can make us feel overly confident, proud, lucky and optimistic. So this aspect can manifest as success and
good luck or loss and humiliation.
Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches, and there is an inherent
danger with this aspect of becoming too complacent about the dangers that the
Coronavirus represents. No one is immune
from this disease. The best way to
navigate this day is to show some respect, moderation and discipline, which is
not an easy feat during these challenging time.
Sun square Jupiter has a way of making us bite off more than we can chew
and we need to be mindful of this and also be very careful with finances.
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 by telephone or video, such as Skype or Zoom. 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.
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 have also written an article
about distance Reiki, which is available at:
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-distance-reiki-can-help-you-during-coronavirus-linda-simons
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, wearing a face mask when going outside your home and
staying 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!
If anxiety is getting to you please consider getting a distant Reiki treatment. https://t.co/FTQwmtRVxS— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) March 21, 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:
