Mercury Retrogrades in Gemini and Venus Moves into Cancer

 



The retrograde party is about to welcome another guest.  Pluto stationed retrograde in Capricorn on April 27 and Saturn stationed retrograde in Aquarius on May 23.  On that day I tweeted:

But on May 29 the most well-known retrograde planet, Mercury, stations retrograde in 24 degrees of Gemini until June 22, 2021, when it stations direct in 16 degrees of Gemini.  Of course, if you count the shadow period (and I am definitely in that camp), we are not out of the woods until July 7 when Mercury clears its retrograde shadow.

This Mercury retrograde will be exacerbated by the fact that Mercury rules Gemini, so it’s even more likely for words to be misunderstood and technology to backfire.  I have been on the receiving end of communication and technology glitches already with the Mercury retrograde shadow. Mercury entered its retrograde shadow on May 15, FYI.  The usual Mercury retrograde cautions apply now: try not to purchase any electronics unless absolutely necessary and avoid scheduling important travel.  It’s not the best time to enter into long-term contracts either.  Remember the “re” in retrograde: review, revise and regroup.  And with Mercury retrograde in Gemini, we are bound to be impatient and want answers fast, so try to exercise some patience.  We could also find ourselves hearing from people in our past, such as exes and estranged relatives. They tend to crawl out of the woodwork when Mercury is retrograde.

Further complications of this Mercury retrograde include that we are in eclipse season and we have the second of three Saturn-Uranus squares on June 14.  The first eclipse was a powerful Lunar Eclipse on May 26 when Mercury was in its retrograde shadow and the next eclipse will happen on June 10: a Solar Eclipse in 19 degrees of Gemini.  And on June 5, Mercury in Gemini will be forming an exact square with Neptune in 23 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect will play out in deception as the Neptunian fog thickens.  We are talking serious brain fog, folks.  Just warning you about this day…

We do get a bit of a break on June 2 when Venus leaves Gemini and enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer where it resides until June 27.  Venus is pretty comfortable in Cancer and a lot less jittery and fickle than Venus in Gemini.  Venus in Cancer is nurturing, protective of others and self-protective, while being somewhat cautious.  When Venus is in Cancer, we have more compassion and emotional security is a priority.  Tenderness, devotion and sentimentiality are all associated with Venus in Cancer.  We even experience a sweet trine between Venus in Cancer and Jupiter in Pisces on June 2.  When these two planets, known as the Great Benefics, get together, optimism, good cheer and love prevail.  It’s a very social aspect and also favors mending rifts in relationships and shopping.  The shadow side of Venus in Cancer is a tendency to moodiness and emotional manipulation.  Just be mindful of this and it should be a fairly enjoyable transit.

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.

Dance of the Phoenix is now on Patreon.  If you have been inspired or informed by my work which is a labor of love, I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider contributing any amount that you can afford to support my endeavors.  No amount is too small.  Thank you all for reading my insights, musings and content.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com. Just let me know which type of reading you want with your birth date info.  Or you can send a payment to my Venmo account at Linda Simons @Linda-Simons-7.

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. 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!
