A Dramatic New Moon in Cancer Featuring Black Moon Lilith and Neptune Stationing Retrograde

 

Save the date of June 28, 2022 because it will be a very big day astrologically.  The main event will be the New Moon in 7 degrees of Cancer.  New Moons are the perfect time to set new intentions and plant the seeds for a fresh start.  The Moon rules the sign of Cancer, so this one is bound to make us feel more sensitive, intuitive and emotional.  There will undoubtedly be  drama and big happenings on this day because the Sun and Moon are also squaring Jupiter in 7 degrees of Aries.  Jupiter loves to expand whatever it touches and on a New Moon in Cancer it can bring emotional drama via ego clashes as well as good fortune, growth and abundance.  Venus in Gemini is also forming a supportive sextile to Jupiter in Aries adding to the good luck piece of love, socializing and finances. We could also be hearing more news about inflation.  It goes without saying that the water signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces or anyone with planets in the early degrees of this sign will feel the emotional impact of this New Moon the most intensely.  I am on alert with this New Moon because it is conjunct my South Node in Cancer in my 9th house, so I sense that I need to set some intentions on releasing a big part of my past that no longer serves my best interests.

The New Moon in Cancer is also conjunct the asteroid Black Moon Lilith in 8 degrees of Cancer.  Black Moon Lilith is the asteroid that pertains to the shadow side of us that keeps us trapped in a cycle of self-destructive behavior.  Black Moon Lilith spends about eight months in a sign.  When Black Moon Lilith is in Cancer, the shadow of support is present and our fear of abandonment can cause us to project issues of dependency and neediness onto others.  Some of our deepest and darkest secrets can be revealed.  I am mentioning this because I have a very prominent Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio that has had a strong influence on my life.  When I learned about Black Moon Lilith about nine years ago, I engaged in some very deep soul searching because it gave meaning to a lot of the emotional pain that I had endured and inspired me to make some changes in my life.  I also offer a Black Moon Lilith reading that provides tremendous insight into how you self-sabotage.  It is not for the faint of heart, but if you are up for some deep work on yourself it is well worth it. Knowledge can be very empowering.

Neptune is stationing retrograde in 25 degrees of Pisces on the New  Moon as well.  Neptune will remain retrograde until December 3, 2022 when it stations direct in 22 degrees of Pisces.  When Neptune is retrograde, we tend to want more spirituality in our lives.  But Neptune retrograde can also cause confusion, more drug abuse, toxicity, secrets and deception.  Neptune retrograde internalizes our fears and anxieties by stripping away illusions.  It can reveal the source of the pain we are trying to escape from (Neptune is the planet associated with escapism, after all) but Neptune retrograde can enhance spiritual self-development.  We are much more likely to listen to our inner voice at this time. Neptune is retrograde for approximately 160 days every year, which is 40% of the time and it causes much less disruption than Mercury retrograde.  Its effects can very subtle.  

The bottom line with this New Moon in Cancer is that it will be more emotional than usual and don't be surprised if you find yourself engaged in some deep soul searching due to the fact that Neptune in Pisces is also stationing retrograde on that day.  Planets are at their most powerful when they are stationing direct or retrograde.  The emotional depth of this New Moon is also emphasized by its conjunction to Black Moon Lilith in Cancer.  Allow yourself the time and space to get in touch with your feelings and set some new intentions on June 28, 2022.  

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. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

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 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.  As a direct result of the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on March 13, I introduced a new one-question tarot reading. These can be done by phone or video.

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were 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. But 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.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. 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!
