We have a second new moon in Cancer coming up on July 20,
2020. The first one occurred on June 21,
2020 in 0 degrees but the one on July 20th will be in 28 degrees of
Cancer. So anyone with planets in the
late degrees of Cancer or any of the other cardinal signs of Aries, Libra or
Capricorn should feel the full effects of this new moon.
New moons are traditionally considered an opportunity to
plant a seed for new beginnings but this particular new moon has some very
challenging aspects that may make it feel more like a full moon. A new moon in Cancer will always entail
themes of new beginnings in the areas of home, family, and emotional security
but this new moon features oppositions to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn in
Capricorn.
We got a taste of the Cancer Capricorn polarity earlier
this week when the Cancer sun opposed Jupiter in Capricorn on July 14th
and opposed Pluto in Capricorn on July 15th. Both of these aspects inspired me to tweet:
Cancer sun opposing Jupiter in Capricorn today can lead to being overly optimistic, impractical and self-indulgence. Try not to overreact. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 14, 2020
We could be experiencing some turbulence today with the Cancer sun opposing Pluto in Capricorn with power struggles and deeply buried internal conflicts emerging for transformation. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 15, 2020
With the new moon in Cancer opposing retrograde Jupiter in
Capricorn, we are definitely in the mood for a new chapter in our lives during
this pandemic, but we are on the receiving end of mixed messages because that
Cancer moon opposing retrograde Saturn in Capricorn is restricting us and
placing limitations on our daily lives.
The new moon opposing retrograde Pluto in Capricorn indicates that psychological
wounds can be dredged up from the unconscious as we could be facing a period of
deep shadow work to release what is no longer serving our best interests and
move us forward on the path of transformation.
We are definitely dealing with a deconstruction of the old order and
especially with Saturn and Pluto involved it could feel like a real tug of war
between the government and the people.
Do you see why I think this could very well feel like a full moon? Many of us may be struggling with work/life
balance issues during this time as many people work from home.
I know for a fact that this new moon will impact me because
it is conjunct my Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Cancer in my 10th
house. Talk about a work life challenge!
Something is bound to change. I do my
astrology work from home, as well as my distance Reiki treatments. I hope to be able to get out in the physical
world to do in-person Reiki treatments in August but like everyone else I am watching
the numbers closely and am deeply concerned about the spike in Coronavirus
cases which I am sure can be attributed to the most recent Jupiter Pluto
conjunction in Capricorn on June 30, 2020.
And let’s face it, some people did not exactly practice social
distancing on the 4th of July and we are dealing with the
repercussions of that as well.
But we do have one saving grace aspect on the new moon of
July 20th. That Cancer moon will be trining Neptune in Pisces. Okay, it happens right after midnight before
the new moon is exact, but it does favor sensitivity, creativity, our imagination
and foster compassion towards others. Our
intuition will be strong on this day and I definitely encourage people to meditate
and set new intentions on this new moon.
Two days later, on July 22, 2020 the sun enters the fixed
fire sign of Leo, which it rules. When
the sun is in Leo, it is a time to shine, be proud and play. We feel more confident, optimistic, enthusiastic,
outgoing and gregarious. This can be a
welcome respite from the past few months.
Just be mindful of the shadow side of Leo, which is a tendency to be
arrogant and self-centered.
On July 22, 2020, we also have Mercury in 10 degrees of
Cancer sextiling Uranus in 10 degrees of Taurus. This is a very positive and supportive aspect
that can deliver exciting news and is ripe for stimulating conversations. It’s also got a very future oriented vibe and
there could be brilliant flashes of insight.
We should also be open to the possibility of meeting new people and new perspectives under the auspices of this aspect.
If you are curious about 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. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50
which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

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 August 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:

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! I
speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have
survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
