We are fresh off the heels off a powerfully intense full
moon in Scorpio, but there is plenty of astrological action coming up in the
next week.
Retrograde season will be officially here as three more
planets join Pluto to form a retrograde party between May 11-14, 2020. Saturn stations retrograde in 1 degree of
Aquarius on May 11, 2020 and stations direct in 25 degrees of Capricorn on
September 28, 2020. I find it supremely
ironic that Saturn is the first planet to station retrograde this coming week,
joining its partner in crime Pluto. By
now we all know that the Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on January 12,
2020 was the beginning of the coronavirus.
We all know that when planets are retrograde it is a time
to review and reflect. The power of a
planet is especially potent when it stations retrograde or direct. Saturn begins its retrograde in the sign of
Aquarius but moves back into Capricorn on June 30, 2020. Saturn has a traditionally bad rep for being
very frustrating in terms of the limitations and challenges it forces upon
us. Saturn retrograde in Aquarius is a
time to review how our structures and habits support our expressions of
freedom, our unique abilities and our intuition. Saturn retrograde in Aquarius can be
extremely uncomfortable because Aquarius loves freedom and during this period
of COVOID-19 everyone’s freedoms are being severely curtailed.
Saturn will be retrograde in Capricorn from July 1 through
September 28, 2020. Saturn rules
Capricorn and is more comfortable in that sign, so its focus will be on
reviewing and revamping our levels of maturity, responsibility, time management
and planning for the future.
Venus stations retrograde in 21 degrees of Gemini on May
13, 2020 and stations direct on June 24, 2020 in 5 degrees of Gemini. Venus is only retrograde approximately every
18 months, so it’s kind of a big deal. I have it natally in the sign of
Scorpio, so I am all too familiar with its energy. And this particular Venus retrograde will
conjunct my natal moon in Gemini in my 8th house in early June 2020.
When Venus is retrograde, it’s time to review relationships, creativity and
finances. Venus retrograde in Gemini will also be squaring Neptune in Pisces,
so it could very well boost our creativity and insight, but the shadow side of
this Venus retrograde is that it could make us prone to self-indulgence, having
poor personal boundaries and playing the victim in relationships. And I always tell my clients not to get
married when Venus is retrograde, because the relationship will undoubtedly
have complexities and challenges that could prove to be insurmountable. I realize that this may not be good news for
those who dreamed of being a June bride, but in the age of coronavirus,
weddings are anything but traditional.
Jupiter is the last planet to join the retrograde
party. It stations retrograde in 27
degrees of Capricorn on May 14, 2020 and stations direct on September 12, 2020
in 17 degrees of Capricorn. When Jupiter
is retrograde, it represents an opportunity to review and reflect on higher
education, philosophy, the meaning of life, optimism and hope. Jupiter in Capricorn is very practical and
hope is a major theme during these challenging times.
On May 11, 2020 Mercury moves from the fixed earth sign of
Taurus to the mutable air sign of Gemini, where it stays until May 28,
2020. Mercury rules both Gemini and
Virgo, so it is right at home here.
Mercury in Gemini is very comfortable and is more communicative, curious
and sociable. It’s also more attracted to superficial knowledge (it loves
variety) than delving deeply into one topic.
If there is a shadow side to Mercury in Gemini, it is that it is easily
distracted.
On May 13, 2020, Mars moves from the fixed air sign of
Aquarius to the mutable water sign of Pisces until June 27, 2020. Mars in
Pisces experiences motivation on a more spiritual and emotional level; it’s
just not that comfortable expressing itself physically. It dislikes
confrontation and is very idealistic. It
does have a tendency to dip its toes into codependent waters by putting others
needs ahead of its own, so be mindful of that fact.
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 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

A
contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part

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!
