Pluto, the planet of elimination and transformation, is
about to station retrograde in 25 degrees of Capricorn on April 25, 2020 until
October 4, 2020 when it stations direct in 22 degrees of Capricorn. We all know that a planet’s strength and
power is heightened when it is stationary and Pluto is no exception, especially
this year.
Pluto is heavily influenced by the Jupiter Pluto
conjunction in Capricorn that is exact three times in 2020. The first one occurred on April 4, 2020 in 24
degrees of Capricorn, the next one occurs on June 30, 2020 in 24 degrees of
Capricorn when both planets are retrograde, and the final one occurs on November
12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn, which is the exact degree of the Saturn
Pluto conjunction. I would not be
surprised if there were another wave of the coronavirus in November as there
seem to be predictions that it will resurface when flu season begins.
Pluto retrograde has a way of dredging up fears of death
and the Coronavirus is the agent that is certainly triggering those fears on a
global scale. And with the Jupiter Pluto
conjunction in Capricorn, Pluto retrograde will manifest as a test of faith as we
continue to endure government enforcing laws that infringe upon personal freedoms
that many of us took for granted. This is
also accompanied by a great deal of suffering and loss on many levels. We will need to have faith and be as kind and
compassionate as possible to others during this Pluto retrograde and this
pandemic.
My husband tested positive for COVID-19 on April 17, 2020
and I am presumed positive as well. I
can tell you from personal experience that you do not want this virus, and I am
considered to have a milder case. Pluto
is conjunct my natal Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house and when
the Saturn Pluto conjunction in January hit my Chiron, I knew it would affect
my home life and pose some sort of healing crisis. I am trying to fight this insidious and
invisible enemy with every intention of beating it. But my husband has underlying conditions of Parkinson’s
disease, heart disease and asthma, which make it more challenging for him. When I wrote about the need to have faith and
be compassionate, I am living proof. I
am tapping into all of my reserves of faith and I consider myself to be
extremely grateful for the compassion that my friends and neighbors have
demonstrated to me in the past week in terms of delivering groceries, supplies
and home cooked meals on our doorstep.
Although I can tell you this virus zaps your sense of taste and
appetite.
The sun entered Taurus on April 19, 2020 and on April 21,
2020 it squared Saturn in 1 degree of Aquarius, inspiring me to tweet:
The challenges of today’s Taurus sun squaring Saturn in Aquarius include delays, tests and bouts of fear. But try to remember that this is temporary and shall pass. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) April 21, 2020
The sun in Taurus will be making another challenging aspect
on April 26, 2020 when it conjuncts Uranus in 6 degrees of Taurus. As I have mentioned before, Uranus is very
uncomfortable to begin with in the sign of Taurus. Taurus is a fixed sign that craves stability
and predictability, while Uranus loves to usher in a revolution. This aspect
can bring even more unexpected changes and disruptions, and cravings for
excitement and freedom. Most of us are
experiencing cabin fever after all of this confinement and some people could be
feeling extremely rebellious. One
manifestation of the sun conjunct Uranus is a desire to push out of one’s
comfort zone, but these are not ordinary times and pushing for a return to
normalcy too soon could result in spreading this pandemic even more.
On April 27, 2020, Mercury enters Taurus until May 11,
2020. Mercury in Taurus brings a more
practical, solid, down to earth and grounded vibe to communications and
thinking. It can be a time of focus and
solidifying plans as stability and common sense rule. I doubt if we will start reopening the
country during this brief transit, but it is possible to come up with some
strategies for moving forward when it is deemed to be safe. The shadow side of Mercury in Taurus we can
become too rigid in our thinking, but if we are mindful of this, we should be
fine.
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

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

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I

accommodate any budget.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation

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:

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, wearing a face mask when
going outside your home and staying home if you are sick. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! Stay
safe and healthy, everyone!
