We just had an emotionally super charged and intense New Moon in Cancer on July 20, 2020. On that day I tweeted:
We have a powerful #NewMooninCancer today that may very well feel like a full moon due to its oppositions to Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Patience will be required as we feel the restrictions. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 20, 2020
But we have a rather pleasant aspect coming up on July 27, 2020. Jupiter in 20 degrees of Capricorn will be forming a supportive sextile to Neptune in 20 degrees of Pisces. This is the second of three Jupiter Neptune sextiles of 2020. The first one occurred on February 20, 2020 in 17 degrees of Capricorn and Pisces and the third one will happen on October 12, 2020 in 18 degrees of Capricorn and Pisces.
Jupiter sextiling Neptune is a real feel good aspect that brings optimism, good fortune, harmony, expansion, creativity, heightened intuition and spiritual enlightenment. We certainly could use this type of energy during these challenging times of COVID-19. It’s hard to believe what life was like back on the first hit of that aspect in February, which was officially pre-COVID-19. Jupiter sextiling Neptune has a protective guardian angel type vibe about it that we sorely need right now. It also has the potential to give us a sense of proportion and to keep our morals in check.
The only glitch and shadow side with this aspect is that Jupiter is very uncomfortable in the sign of Capricorn because it is technically in fall due to Jupiter being exalted in Cancer. The recent Jupiter Pluto conjunctions demonstrates this; Jupiter in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn only served to amplify the effects of the virus and the accompanying power struggles. Jupiter sextiling Neptune can also manifest in engaging in escapist behaviors that include substance abuse. But I want to emphasize that Jupiter sextiling Neptune represents an opportunity to check in with yourself regarding your values and beliefs. We won’t have another Jupiter Neptune sextile after October 2020 until 2024 when Jupiter is in Taurus, so make the most of it.
Mercury in 15 degrees of Cancer will be squaring Mars in 15 degrees of Aries on July 27, 2020. There is no sugar-coating that this aspect will be challenging and tough, generating quite a bit of tension. Mercury squaring Mars can lead to rushed thinking, short tempers and aggressive behavior. We may be prone to jumping to conclusions and making rash decisions. Arguments and hostility can arise. Please try not to make any major decisions under the auspices of this aspect.
On July 30, 2020, Mercury in Cancer is doing double duty with two major aspects. Mercury in 20 degrees of Cancer will be opposing Jupiter in 20 degrees of Capricorn. Mercury opposing Jupiter can deliver big ideas and plans that we tend to feel optimistic about but be mindful not to skip over details or take on more than you can handle. Jupiter aspects have a way of making us bite off more than we can chew. Be mindful that this aspect represents an opportunity to question our plans and beliefs.
We also have Mercury in 20 degrees of Cancer trining Neptune in 20 degrees of Pisces on July 30, 2020. This is a delightfully pleasant aspect that will stimulate creativity, imagination, sensitivity and heighten our spirituality. It’s a perfect day to engage in creative endeavors and meditate. I am stoked about it because it forms a grand water trine with my Scorpio sun. I expect that I will be extremely intuitive on that day, so if you need a reading, I should be in top form on that day.
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. 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.

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.

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:

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!
