A New Moon in Cancer and Mercury Enters Cancer

 



Just in case you haven’t noticed, we are deep in the season of Cancer.  Not only is the Sun in Cancer, but we have a glorious New Moon in 18 degrees of Cancer on July 9.  Cancer is all about home, nurturing and care.  With a New Moon in Cancer, we are more attuned to our feelings and instincts. It’s time to set some new intentions in these areas of our life.  I say, bring it on!

Of course, the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are going to feel this energy the most acutely.  Aries might be experiencing an addition to their family, a new home or cycle in their family life.  Cancer is entering a new personal cycle focusing on relationships.  Libra will feel this influence in their careers and social life, while Capricorn can also be entering a new cycle for partnerships and relationships.

What does the astrological weather look like for the New Moon?  Well, the Cancer Moon is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 14 degrees of Taurus, so we have an added boost to manifesting our wishes and they can do so in unexpected but pleasant ways. Yes, the Moon is also inconjunct Saturn in 11 degrees of Aquarius, which can be a bit of a drag, but it passes quickly.  My take on it is that it means we will have to adjust our expectations and take care of responsibilities.  The New Moon is also widely opposing Pluto in 25 degrees of Capricorn, which is a clear indicator that transformation is on the agenda.  It might be a good time to bury whatever emotional hatchets we have been holding onto.  We could be feeling that power is coming at us from all angles, but it is important to remember that the Pluto factor can represent our inner authority and power, so don’t be quick to give it away.  Emotional security is a top priority with a New Moon in Cancer.  Perhaps we should consider building a family that is not necessarily biological but shares our beliefs and values.  I like to call it a “framily”, which basically means that you have found your tribe.  Sometimes a framily can consist of friends that you choose to be your support system if you feel that your own family is too toxic to be around or no longer present.  It’s food for thought…

Mercury moves into Cancer on July 11 and stays there until July 27.  It seems like Mercury has been in Gemini forever, due to the recent Mercury retrograde.  Mercury has been in Gemini since May 3, which is indeed a long time.  But Mercury retrograde cleared it retrograde shadow on July 7, when I tweeted:

When Mercury is in Cancer, we are thinking on a deeper level as the mind and heart grow closer.  We are also communicating in a softer and more intimate manner.  We find it easier to let others know how much we care as we strive to nurture and protect them.  Our intuition is also more available and accurate when Mercury is sailing through the cardinal water sign of Cancer, so I encourage you to make the most of this transit.  On July 12, Mercury in Cancer will be trining Jupiter in 1 degree of Pisces, which is a very beneficial aspect for our intuition as it magically blesses our communication.  If you have any planets in the early degrees of the water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, prepare for a nice little spiritual blast of good fortune.

On July 13, we have another juicy aspect. Venus and Mars are conjunct in 20 degrees of Leo, which can bring in new relationships and more social activity.  But it is widely opposing Saturn in 11 degrees of Aquarius and squaring Uranus in 14 degrees of Taurus.  Of course, once again the Saturn-Uranus square is being set off, so the themes here are financial volatility and taking responsibility for our actions.

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:

There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate any budget.

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. At some point, probably in 2022, 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 and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number 617-304-2205.  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 necessary 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!
