Taurus Sun Departs on a High Note and Here Comes the Sun in Gemini




There was a big shift in communications and actions this week when Mercury entered the sign of Gemini on May 12th and Mars entered Pisces on May 13th.  I observed these planetary actions by tweeting:

Mercury is very comfortable in Gemini because it is one of the two signs it rules; Virgo is the other sign that Mercury rules. Mars is not so comfortable in Pisces, however, so we can expect a certain amount of passive aggressiveness because Mars in Pisces is averse to confrontation. And with Mercury entering Gemini and joining Venus in Gemini, which stationed retrograde on May 13th, it is setting the stage for the sun to join the Gemini party on May 20, 2020.

But before the sun departs the fixed earth sign of Taurus, it makes two very stellar aspects in the form of trines to Pluto and Jupiter in Capricorn.  The trine to Pluto occurs on May 15, 2020 in 24 degrees of Taurus and Capricorn. It holds the promise for deep and intense experiences. Does any aspect to Pluto, even a flowing trine, roll any other way? The trine does offer the potential for powerful and positive transformations while affording us the opportunity to draw on resources we may have forgotten that we possess.  It also gives us the perseverance and courage to take control of our lives.  It is definitely an aspect that we should utilize to the max in these uncertain times.  We may not have control of the way our life is in the age of Coronavirus, but we do have control over the attitude we take towards it in terms of implementing major changes in our lives.  No one will remain unscathed from this pandemic, so we might as well accept this reality and figure out the most productive way of transforming our lives.

On May 17, 2020 the sun in 27 degrees of Taurus trines Jupiter in 27 of Capricorn.  This trine has a much lighter vibe and is accompanied by high spirits, enthusiasm, optimism and self-confidence.  Financial gains are also possible with this aspect.  Spiritual development is also a potential manifestation of this aspect.  This aspect will transit a real feel good vibe, so enjoy it.  Just don’t get too caught up in the Jupiterian shadow side of indulging too much or believing something that it is too good to be true.

On May 20, 2020, the sun enters the mutable air sign of Gemini.  This will be a radical change from the sun in Taurus.  We are also ensconced in a mutable feast of planets, with the sun accompanying Venus and Mercury in Gemini as well as Mars and Neptune in Pisces, which is another mutable sign. And we have a new moon in Gemini coming up on May 22, 2020.  More on that next week.  The bottom line with all of this mutable energy is that it is very chameleon like, versatile, adaptable, but it can lack the focus of a fixed sign like Taurus. 

When the sun is transiting the sign of Gemini, we are motivated by knowledge and diversity as we seek a finger in every pot, so to speak.  We are definitely going to feel more sociable and intellectual.  Gemini is a non-conformist sign which craves information and the opportunity to explore choices.  This should be an interesting transit of the sun in Gemini while many of us are still in isolation and social distancing has become the new norm.  I wouldn’t be surprised if new ways of interacting through the Internet surfaced during this transit of the sun in Gemini.  Zoom has already become a major part of life for many people since the pandemic struck in March.  Has it only been two months?  For many of us, the days pre-March 11, 2020 seems like a lifetime ago.

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.  Check out my menu of services 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:

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!
