Mercury in Cancer has been calling the shots lately, with its opposition to Jupiter in Capricorn on July 30th, inspiring me to tweet:
It will also oppose Pluto in 23 degrees of Capricorn on August 1, 2020, which can increase the level of tension (as if we didn’t have enough already) and possibly manifest in rampant manipulation and game playing. This is a prelude to the full moon in 11 degrees of Aquarius that occurs on August 3, 2020.Mercury in Cancer is very busy today as it opposes Jupiter in Capricorn and trines Neptune in Pisces. The opposition may make us take on more than we can handle and the trine can overidealize matters. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 30, 2020
Mercury in Cancer has definitely been busy lately. On August 3, 2020, the day of the full moon in Aquarius, it opposes Saturn in 29 degrees of the Capricorn. It’s already aspected Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn, and now it takes a shot at Saturn. Don’t expect a plethora of good news with this aspect; Saturn is known for its sober and pessimistic vibe, rife with limitations and restrictions. I wouldn’t be surprised if some states enforced more stringent measures to combat COVID-19 and reverted to earlier stages of reopening due to the increase in cases of the virus.
A full moon is a time of closure and completion but it can also shine a light on dark corners and pierce the clarity of truth. This full moon in the sign of Aquarius could also see some interventions as we face some uncomfortable truths. It is indeed a time to confront something that we know is wrong and right it. We had a new moon in 4 degrees of Aquarius on January 24, 2020 that squared Uranus in Taurus and this full moon in 11 degrees of Aquarius will also square Uranus in 9 degrees of Taurus. Some of us may see some closure on issues that began back in late January.
The full moon on August 3, 2020 also packs a Uranian punch. For starters, it is in the sign of Aquarius, which Uranus rules. And it squares Uranus in Taurus, which also occurred on the new moon in Aquarius on January 24, 2020, so there could be some unpleasant results that crop up in the form of unexpected events and surprises. With Uranus in Taurus, our economy could take an even deeper hit and agriculture, another theme of Taurus, could change the way we grow our food. On the previous day, August 2, 2020, the sun in Leo squared Uranus in Taurus, which fueled the fire for restless tensions, unpredictable behavior and the potential for accidents. All I am saying is don’t expect this full moon to be a tame one.
If you have planets in the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, you will definitely feel the brunt of this full moon. I am definitely in that camp. This full moon is conjunct my Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house and it squares my Saturn in Scorpio in my 1st house. I have a natal moon Saturn inconjunct, so I know first-hand that moon Saturn aspects are not exactly warm and fuzzy. It’s an understatement to say that I am not exactly looking forward to this full moon.
Mercury will depart the sign of Cancer, where it has been since May 28, 2020 due to Mercury retrograde and enter the sign of Leo on August 4, 2020 until September 5, 2020. Mercury in Leo will herald communications that are bold and expressive. No more Cancer humble pie or passive aggressive styles of communicating. Leo loves to be seen and heard in a rather dramatic fashion. Also on August 4, 2020, Mars in 19 degrees of Aries will square Jupiter in 19 degrees of Capricorn, which will imbue us with a sense of luck, strength and courage. We just need to remember not to go overboard. Mars in Aries will also be squaring Pluto in Capricorn on August 13th, and this square may be a little more upsetting as there may be impulsive actions to deconstruct the old system represented by Pluto in Capricorn.

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 until September in order to practice social distancing. I will be back in my Brookline office then practicing Reiki with a mask, gloves, and medical exam sheets for your protection. I will also have hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes available. In the meantime, 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:
