Communications and thinking are undergoing a major shift
because Mercury entered the water sign of Cancer on May 28, 2020, when I
tweeted:
Mercury moves into the sensitive water sign of Cancer today until 8/19/20 due to the upcoming #MercuryRetrograde. Expect communications to be ruled by feelings and intuition. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 28, 2020
That’s right folks, we are in for an extended transit of
Mercury in Cancer courtesy of an upcoming Mercury retrograde that officially
starts on June 18, 2020 when Mercury stations direct in 14 degrees of Cancer
and stations direct in 5 degrees of Cancer on July 12, 2020. But we all know there is a shadow period for
a retrograde planet and Mercury enters it retrograde shadow period on June 2,
2020 in 5 degrees of Cancer, so don’t be surprised if you start feeling the
effects of Mercury retrograde early next week.
When Mercury is transiting the sign of Cancer, there will
be a marked change from the frenetic pace of Mercury in Gemini. Our communications become more sensitive and
sentimental as we reflect on the past. Reflection on the past will be doubly
emphasized due to the retrograde.
Mercury in Cancer represents an opportunity to get closer to others as
we have more of a willingness to listen to others and share more personal
feelings. It is a time when we feel more
comfortable discussing the things that make us feel more vulnerable. I don’t know about you, but this pandemic has
made me feel extremely vulnerable. We will
probably be communicating in a softer manner and sharing our feelings on a more
intimate level. It’s easier to connect
lovingly with others as our intuition soars and we find it easier to actually
listen to others. But be mindful of the fact that there is a shadow side of
Mercury in Cancer that involves a tendency towards crying more often and
engaging in passive aggressive behavior.
Mercury in Cancer is also a time to ground and secure our
emotions. The water signs of Cancer,
Scorpio and Pisces will truly be in their element. I am a Scorpio, so I know I
will be receiving some beneficial trines to my sun, Mercury, Saturn, Venus,
Ceres, and Pallas in Scorpio. I will
also experience some conjunctions from Mercury in Cancer to my south node,
midheaven, Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer, so I suspect there will be some
clearing of the decks karmically and some new ways of thinking about my career.
This is a relatively quiet week astrologically but next
week that will change as we enter eclipse season which commences on June 5,
2020 with a lunar eclipse in 15 degrees of Sagittarius. Right now we should continue to reap the
benefits of Mars in Pisces forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in
Taurus. This aspect was exact on May 25,
2020 in 8 degrees of the planets’ respective signs. We will be under the influence of this aspect
until June 2, 2020 (the day Mercury enters its retrograde shadow) when Mars
reaches 13 degrees of Pisces.
What can we expect from a Mars Uranus sextile? This aspect
increases our desire for fun and excitement while it facilitates making changes
in our life. We could also find
ourselves attracting different types of people and breaking away from
relationships that are restricting and limiting. This aspect also grants us a window of time
to trust our instincts and take a risk, so make the most of it.
If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading. These
are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide
some much needed clarity and guidance.

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:

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!
