Mars and Saturn Frustrate Us, Pluto Empowers Us and the Sun Moves into Gemini


 


We are entering the week between major lunar activity and about to launch Eclipse Season. We had a powerful New Moon in Taurus on May 11, when I tweeted:

The first eclipse of 2021 will be a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on May 26.  But we have a great deal going on before then.  On May 15, Mars in Cancer will be forming an irritating exact inconjunct with Saturn in 13 degrees of Aquarius.  Spoiler alert—this is not going to be an easy day.  We are probably going to be feeling frustrated if things are not going our way and this could be accompanied by a fear of failure as well.  It’s important to remember that our fears can stop us from doing the responsible thing. This aspect also tends to manifest in experiencing limitations from family obligations or authority figures.  Don’t be surprised if you feel victimized on some level.  The bottom line with inconjuncts is that they require an adjustment be made.  The adjustment could pertain to issues of life/work balance. Mars want to move forward with its foot on the accelerator but Saturn is saying slow down and be careful.  I know that I will be feeling this aspect acutely because Saturn is conjuncting my Mars in Aquarius in my 4th house right now.  And we also have Mercury in 16 degrees of Gemini entering its retrograde shadow on the same day.  Mercury officially stations retrograde on May 29 in 24 degrees of Gemini, but trust me, we will start to feel the effects of Mercury retrograde when it enters the shadow period.

On May 17, we have a really empowering aspect.  The Sun in Taurus is trining Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn.  I’m sure that many of you are crowing, it’s about time that Pluto does something nice for a change.  Last year’s Saturn-Pluto conjunction and the three Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions ramped up the intensity level in terms of limiting our freedom and amplifying the effects of the pandemic. Intense and deep experiences will be present on this day which will be beneficial for positive transformation.  We might actually feel like we have more power and influence in our lives again.  At the very least, we can use this aspect to get rid of the clutter in our lives.  And that could mean psychological and emotional stuff in addition to physical belongings.

On May 20, the Sun departs the fixed earth sign of Taurus for the mutable air sign of Gemini. It’s going to be a very different vibe.  We will be feeling more social and want to meet new people.  Communication is very important now because Mercury rules Gemini. Our focus will shift to acquiring knowledge as we are more intellectually curious and diversity is more appealing to us.  We literally want to have a finger in every pot.  The shadow side of the Sun in Gemini is that we tend to be more fickle due to the plethora of choices and options available to us and we could feel more scattered.  This might lead to a perception of us being more unreliable.  Taurus was known for its steadfast quality, so yes, it is a big change. But we can feel more ready to go with the flow and flex those adaptability muscles.

If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you personally, 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 am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, 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. If you prefer to send a donation through Venmo or pay for a reading through Venmo, my handle is Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.


Additionally, I am 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 further notice in order to practice social distancing. I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. When it becomes clearer that the virus no longer poses a threat, I will find a new space to practice. 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 do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. 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 based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo for payment.  I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

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. And get a vaccine when you are eligible. 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!
