Eclipse season is officially underway on June 5, 2020 with
a powerful lunar eclipse in 15 degrees of Sagittarius. The next two eclipses occur on June 21, 2020
in 0 degrees of Cancer and on July 5, 2020 in 13 degrees of Capricorn.
This lunar eclipse in Sagittarius has a very impulsive and
angry vibe because it squares Mars in Pisces and is involved in a T-square that
includes the sun and Venus in Gemini, the moon in Sagittarius, and Mars,
Neptune and Ceres in Pisces. This
mutable T-square has a lot of nervous energy, but we need to remember that a
T-square does serve to motivate us to change. The past week has seen incredible
turmoil and violence following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the
hands of a police officer. This baby
boomer is being reminded of the racially charged riots of the 1960’s that
occurred in my childhood and it saddens me to see it happening again. I am also reminded of the riots that ensued
after police officers were acquitted of attacking Rodney King in 1992. Ironically, the attack on Rodney King that
happened in March 1991 also featured Saturn in the early degrees of
Aquarius. This is also a south node
eclipse, which has a strong theme of being connected to the past and letting
go. It’s time to create a new future
that doesn’t involve racism.
A lunar eclipse in Sagittarius has strong issues of
freedom, truth, justice, the law, beliefs and disclosure. The fact that the moon is squaring Mars in 15
degrees of Pisces has a vibe that is combustible and makes us prone to feeling
more angry, edgy, irritable and prone to temper tantrums. Mars in Pisces also
activates the victim theme and people feeling like they are not being seen or
heard. When people feel invisible, which
is a very Neptunian theme (and Neptune is the ruler of Pisces), anger can ensue. I suspect that there will be more angry
outbursts in the coming week. But all is
not lost because Mars is also conjunct Neptune in 20 degrees of Pisces which
can lead to compassionate and spiritual action if we channel this energy
constructively. Just be mindful of the shadow side of this aspect, which is
loss of focus as Neptune has a tendency to dissolve energy.
We have one other saving grace aspect that occurs on this
lunar eclipse. Mercury in Cancer forms a
supportive sextile to Uranus in Taurus and this offers us the opportunity for
some nurturing change in communications. We could experience some real
breakthroughs with this aspect, so make the most of it.
Venus retrograde in 12 degrees of Gemini is compounding the
effects of this eclipse by adding financial stress and making it more difficult
to give and receive love and affection. The moon opposes Venus, which doesn’t
augur well for love or finances. There
is bound to be a lot of anger surfacing in relationships. Impatience and lack of self-control could
easily manifest in hostile actions. Venus in Gemini is also squaring Mars in
Pisces which could result in increased sex drive but also has the potential to
add a layer of competitive tension that might spill out in angry outbursts and
major conflicts. Adding to the mix is
that Venus in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces, so we could be reassessing love
relationships and finances. This aspect
contains a theme of a clash between the head and the heart. The best way to deal with this energy is trust
your heart.
I am a bit concerned myself about the effects of this
eclipse as the moon in Sagittarius is opposing my moon in Gemini in my 8th
house. Talk about a double whammy! I frequently tell my clients that a lunar
eclipse is like a full moon on steroids and this one is no exception to that
rule. The pandemic has forced many of
us to let go of the past and engage in some serious transformation. I literally feel like I am once again the
phoenix rising from the ashes as I let go of what is no longer serving my best
interests and creating a new life for myself.
I am also very grateful for the fact that I tested negative for COVID-19
and feel that represents an opportunity for renewal and growth as my physical
energy returns.
On June 6, 2020 the sun in Gemini is squaring Mars in 16
degrees of Pisces, which reinforces the anger theme. The most productive way of channeling this
energy is to be physically active. If
you have ever wanted to implement a new fitness routine, this is the time to do
start exercising and avoid the shadow side of engaging in physical violence.
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:
Don’t
forget to follow me on Twitter for my daily astrological insights.
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!
Don’t
let this lunar eclipse stress you out. Engage
in some self-care by getting some relief from anxiety with a distance Reiki
treatment or getting some astrological guidance with an astrology reading.
Get some relief from anxiety with a distance Reiki treatment or obtain clarity and guidance during these challenging times with a video or phone astrology reading. DM or email me to schedule a session. #Reiki #astrologyreading— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 4, 2020
