A Busy Week Ahead as the Sun Moves into Cancer, Jupiter Stations Retrograde, Mercury Goes Direct and a Full Moon in Capricorn

 

Many of us are still reeling from the second Saturn-Uranus square on June 14^th, when I tweeted:

We have a tense day ahead today with Saturn in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus for the the 2nd time this year. It’s a battle between structure and change. Expect issues from February to resurface. #astrology

But we are nowhere near done with the effects of the Saturn-Uranus square or the intensity.  On June 20, we have two major astrological events coming up: the Sun enters Cancer for the Summer Solstice and Jupiter stations retrograde in 2 degrees of Pisces.  The Saturn-Uranus square will be set off again on the 20^th because the Moon is in 9 degrees of Scorpio, setting off a very tense T-square with Saturn in 12 degrees of Aquarius and Uranus in 13 degrees of Taurus. There is bound to be some rebellious energy on tap as the themes of control, freedom and truth are raised.  It promises to be  a deeply emotional day because we also have a Grand Water Trine involving the Moon in Scorpio, Jupiter in Pisces and the Sun in Cancer. What is the best way to cope with all of this water energy?  We need to face our deepest emotions and wishes, because Jupiter has a lot to do with our wishes and it is strong in Pisces.

We also need to remember that we will be feeling even more emotional when the Sun is in Cancer and feeling the effects of the Moon more acutely because the Moon rules Cancer. There will be more of a tendency to be self-protective and our focus will shift towards our home life and nurturing others.

Jupiter stations retrograde in 2 degrees of Pisces on the 20^th and slips back into Aquarius on July 28^th until December 28, 2021 when it moves back into Pisces.  Jupiter does station direct on October 17^th in 22 degrees of Aquarius.  When Jupiter is retrograde, it is characterized by a period of spiritual introspection and reflection.  This is indeed a time when you need to create your own luck and good fortune by fine-tuning your perspective.

On June 22, Mercury stations direct in 16 degrees of Gemini after having been retrograde since May 29^th.  I don’t know about you, but this has been one of the most frustrating Mercury retrogrades that I can recall.  I have had issues with my cell phone, Internet service, medical appointment scheduling and messages not being conveyed.  I suspect that one of the reasons is that Mercury was retrograde in its home sign of Gemini, which exacerbated issues like these.  It would probably be just as challenging when Mercury is retrograde in Virgo, the other sign that it rules.  Fortunately the next Mercury retrograde in 2021 will occur in late September in the sign of Libra.  But while we are heaving a collective sign of relief about Mercury being direct, I would like to caution everyone that Mercury does not clear its retrograde shadow until July 7, so please don’t expect everything to be back to normal with communication and transportation for a few days.  Whenever a planet is stationing either direct or retrograde, its power is magnified.  But there is light at the end of the tunnel…

The next major astrological event occurs on June 24 with the Full Moon in 3 degrees of Capricorn.  A Full Moon in Capricorn has themes of responsibility, order, structure and age-related concerns.  And it will require that we achieve some measure of balance with these themes and the need to nurture. Try focusing on resilience and inner authority during this Full Moon. Full Moons are a time of revelations, so be aware that more truths could be revealed, especially as a result of the recent Saturn-Uranus square.  Of course, emotional explosions are definitely possible with the Moon in Capricorn forming an irritating inconjunct with Mars in Leo. If we make adjustments or compromises, these can be avoided. The themes of closure and completion also pertain to Full Moons, so you might want to think back to the New Moon in Capricorn on January 13, 2021, to review any projects that you began back then.  Are they completed or is there is some sense of resolution?

There are some positive aspects going for us on this Full Moon.  Jupiter in Pisces is forming a supportive sextile to the Full Moon and it trines the Sun in Cancer.  This configuration is urging us to let go of the past and focus on the new. Try not to look back with regrets.  Relationship issues are bound to surface on this Full Moon with Pluto in 26 degrees of Capricorn opposing Venus in 26 degrees of Cancer.  This aspect could impact the sign of Cancer, especially if they are in a relationship that they think is too controlling.  They might opt to stay in the relationship out of their need for security. And Saturn in Aquarius is also forming a supportive sextile to Chiron in Aries on the 24^th, so it is possible for emotional healing to occur if we are willing to do the work.

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!
