Unless you have been living under a rock, you are probably aware that there is a life-changing astrological pile-up coming on July 31 and August 1. Yes, folks, Uranus will conjunct the North Node in 18 degrees of Taurus on July 31st and Mars will conjunct the North Node on August 1st. Uranus usually conjuncts the North Node approximately every 15 years and the last time was in Pisces back in March and April of 2007. I don't know about you, but I certainly was experiencing massive changes and a fair amount of turmoil in my life back then. Uranus has not been conjunct the North Node in Taurus since 1855 and Mars was not involved with these two since 1458. The last time Mars was included in this mix, there were a lot of volcanoes. Uranus has an 84-year cycle and its previous transit in Taurus was from 1934-1942, which was a time of upheaval that brought massive changes in the world order. Nothing like a Great Depression, the rise of fascism, and World War II to revolutionize your life.
The exact dates of these conjunctions are July 31 and August 1, but the effects will be present for up to two weeks before and after these dates. I know that many people, myself included, have been feeling anxious and uneasy about the changes that are coming. It's also normal to feel sad and overwhelmed by this energy. It will feel chaotic, so we need to be prepared. We are bound to hear news that is upsetting but we have to move forward and release what is no longer serving us. Mercury in Leo has been a key player in this action because it squared Mars in Taurus on July 26, which could have led to some angry outbursts. It also squared Uranus in Taurus on the New Moon of July 28, which further amplified the tone of disruptive communication. Mercury in Leo will be opposing Saturn in Aquarius on July 31 and will be inconjunct Neptune in Pisces on August 1. This all contributes to the theme of hearing fake, confusing or unpleasant news that could have restrictive influences on our lives. There is a new world order coming and rebirth is at hand. But as I have frequently noticed in my own life, rebirth ain't always pretty. I have found myself thinking back to the Uranus-Pluto squares of 2012-2015 and I realized that the only way I came out of this period without losing my mind was by surrendering to it, leaning into that energy and accepting it.
Uranus in Taurus conjunct the North Node in Taurus will bring awakening and breakthroughs as it pushes for freedom. This is extremely volatile energy that will push us out of our comfort zone. Weather disruptions will probably continue. We can't forget that the North Node is our collective destiny and a North Node in Taurus is bound to affect money and structures. Our material world is undergoing massive changes and transformation. I hope we don't have a stock market crash, but I wouldn't be surprised if it or some other financial downturn did occur. This is quite literally a collision of rebellion and destiny. It can bring spiritual growth but it also represents the end of a karmic cycle.
Mars in Taurus joins Uranus and the North Node in Taurus on August 1. This could increase the likelihood of volcanoes, fires or earthquakes. Violence is also associated with Mars in Taurus. The last time Mars entered Taurus was on January 6, 2021. Mars joining Uranus and the North Node will bring passion, anger, heat and impulsive behavior. Civil unrest, protests and restlessness abound. It adds a whole new layer of complexity to the mix. Saturn in 22 degrees of Aquarius is also squaring Mars, Uranus and the North Node, creating a sense of frustration and impatience that is pretty tough to deal with. It also makes us work harder to get what we want. Yes, a new way of life is coming but it won't come easily and we need to acknowledge that. The United States is still in the throes of its Pluto Return, which won't officially be over until November 19, 2024 when Pluto finally enters the sign of Aquarius. Pluto does initially enter Aquarius on March 23, 2023, but due to its retrograde motion, it slips back into Capricorn in June 2023. Power imbalances are being addressed in the United States Pluto Return, as they were in 1776.
If you have planets from 16 to 20 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, you are really feeling the heat of this Uranus/Mars/North Node conjunction in Taurus. The Taurus gang is transiting my 8th house opposing my Scorpio Sun and Black Moon Lilith in my 2nd house. Everyone knows that fixed signs don't like change unless they are the ones initiating it and these days it is a pretty safe bet to say that we have no control over the changes that are happening now. All we can do is to work on changing our attitudes. The bottom line is that whatever happens during the next couple of weeks will have a major impact on our collective future.
On July 31, 2022, we do have one very bright astrological bright spot accompanying the Uranus/North Node conjunction in Taurus. The Sun in Leo is exactly trining Jupiter in 8 degrees of Aries. Okay, Jupiter has been retrograde since the New Moon in Leo on July 28, but we will take it. When the Sun is trining Jupiter, enthusiasm and self-confidence are running high and we find it easier to get along with others. There is also the potential for financial gains, so don't count yourself out yet. I am a big fan of the Serenity Prayer and I can't think of a time when it is needed more. In case you are not familiar with it, here it is:
"God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference."
On August 4, 2022, Mercury enters its happy place when it moves into Virgo. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, so it is very comfortable in these signs. Mercury zips through Virgo very quickly, departing on August 25. But while Mercury is in Virgo, we can channel that analytical energy into problem-solving to implement positive changes. We are also more detail-oriented and our communication is more efficient. Just exercise a little mindfulness in terms of being too critical towards others while Mercury is in Virgo. Try to be kind to others during these challenging times and utilize the service to others component of Mercury in Virgo.

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! Astrology is a powerful tool that helps you navigate challenging times and alerts you to opportunity periods. Get a reading with me and experience the healing process. #astrology
