Neptune Stations Retrograde, Venus Squares Uranus and a Full Moon in Capricorn

 

Neptune in Pisces is joining Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn at the retrograde party on June 30.  It stations retrograde in 27 degrees of Pisces and will station direct in 24 degrees of Pisces on December 6, 2023. Neptune is the planet associated with spirituality, creativity, addiction, redemption, escapism and disillusionment.  When it is retrograde, it actually might be easier for many of us to pierce the veil of illusion and see the truth more clearly.  We seem to have no problem ignoring reality when Neptune is direct, ironically.  Neptune is also in the third decan, which is the Scorpio decan.  This simply means that we are more psychic, emotional and in a better place to transform our creativity and eliminate negative thinking.  It is also represents a fabulous opportunity to engage in some self-care.  Bring it on, I say!

I am a Scorpio and this Neptune retrograde transit will be trining my Venus and Ceres in Scorpio as well as my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer. So I have my own Grand Trine in Water in play for the next few months. If you have any planets in the late degrees of the water signs, you too can benefit greatly from this Neptune retrograde.

Neptune is a very slow-moving planet and the last time it was in Pisces was from 1847 through 1861.  Neptune was discovered in 1846.  Many changes occurred during this period: the United States entered the Civil War as the issue of slavery tore the country apart, photography became more mainstream and popular and chloroform was used as anesthesia for Queen Victoria when she gave birth to her children in 1853 and 1857.  It was also used for dental procedures.  Neptune entered Pisces in April 2011 and will leave Pisces in 2026.  I think it is fair to say that we will continue to see shifts in creativity, healing, spirituality and idealism.

We also have Mercury in Cancer trining Saturn in 7 degrees of Pisces on June 30.  This transit will help us get organized and makes it easier for us to pay attention to details. It favors making commitments, signing contracts and taking care of family matters.  Practical results can be obtained if we make the effort now.

Venus in Leo is starting to slow down for its own upcoming retrograde on July 22.Venus actually entered its retrograde shadow on June 19.  Venus will station retrograde in 28 degrees of Leo on June 22 and will remain retrograde until September 3 when it stations direct in 12 degrees of Leo.  But on July 2, Venus in Leo will be squaring Uranus in 21 degrees of Taurus.  On June 26, Mars in Leo squared Uranus in Taurus.  On that day I tweeted:

We could be feeling quite rebellious and wanting to break free from restrictions today with Mars in Leo squaring Uranus in Taurus. It’s a volatile and explosive vibe so tread carefully. #astrology

— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) June 26, 2023

Mars and Venus have been dancing together in Leo but they are starting to separate and Mars will enter Virgo on July 10.  When Venus in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, we can anticipate unexpected changes and directions in love and finances. We could be feeling restless to have our desires met.  It's possible to meet someone new, but I wouldn't count on it lasting given the nature of Uranus.  But it certainly can wake us up.

The last time Venus was retrograde in Leo was from July 31 through September 6, 2015.  I encourage you to reflect back on that period and see if anything resonates for you.  Love, finances and values will be entering a period of reassessment for all of us.  During that time, I offered a Venus Retrograde reading which was quite popular.  I have decided to offer it again this year and it will be available from now through August for $30.  Just email me at lindasim54@gmail.com or DM me on Twitter to request the Venus Retrograde reading.  I will look at where Venus is transiting your natal and progressed charts during its retrograde period. It could be hitting some sensitive spots and it always helps to be prepared for what is coming.

On July 3, we have a Super Full Moon in 11 degrees of Capricorn.  The Moon will be very close to the earth and highly visible. The Moon will look very big.  Emotions will come to a head regarding issues of power and government.  This Full Moon can indeed shine a light on control issues.  Capricorn is a sign that likes to achieve and on this day, the Moon in Capricorn will be trining Jupiter in 9 degrees of Taurus, affording us the opportunity to build for the future. The Moon is also forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 7 degrees of Pisces, enhancing the theme of responsibility in a good way.  If you have opportunities present themselves to you, by all means act on them.  The most challenging piece of this Full Moon, aside from its opposition to the Sun in Cancer, is that the Moon also opposes Mercury in Cancer.  This is where the angry words could come up. And the Moon in Capricorn is squaring Chiron in 19 degrees of Aries, which can trigger old wounds.  The bottom line is that we have a lot of cardinal energy at play here with the Sun and Mercury in Cancer, Moon in Capricorn and Chiron in Aries.  Cardinal planets love to initiate action, so this should prove to be a high energy day.  And on July 4, the Moon in Capricorn will be conjunct Pluto in 29 degrees of Capricorn, which can add another layer of compulsion or obsession.

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift. 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?

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, 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:

  Happy 4th of July to all of my American readers!

Mercury is on the Move, Mars in Leo Squares Uranus in Taurus and the Sun in Cancer Trines Saturn in Pisces

 

Mercury is moving pretty fast these days; it has certainly bounced back from its recent retrograde.  Mercury is getting ready to leave one of its favorite signs, Gemini, but before it does, it squares Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces on June 25.  This could be a tricky day, rife with confusion and misunderstandings.  Something that has been hidden could come to light in a big way in the news.  Pay close attention because there are literally two sides to every story.  This aspect could also play out with feeling lazy or lethargic.  It falls on a Sunday, so cut yourself some slack and chill out if you need to.

On June 26, Mercury enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer until July 11.  This is a whole different vibe as Mercury shifts from a cerebral sign to a highly emotional and sensitive sign. Communication is focused on expressing our emotions, discussing personal matters and processing our feelings.  Our intuition is stronger now and we should find it easier to listen to others now too.  We could also find ourselves being more sentimental and nostalgic, but it does have a shadow side of being snappy like the crab and can also be inclined towards spitefulness.  Strategy and action are also part of the Mercury in Cancer package.  It's a very brief transit, so make the most of it.

We have a very challenging aspect also occurring on June 26.  Mars in Leo is squaring Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus. This can be somewhat explosive and I wouldn't be surprised if it triggered some arguments.  We will be in the mood to break free from restrictions and rebel against authority.  It can also be difficult to relax while these two planets are at cross purposes.  If you have any planets around 19 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, you will definitely feel the effects of this aspect.  My Sun is in 19 degrees of Scorpio, so I am definitely in this camp.  I have been dealing with Uranus in Taurus opposing my Sun, so with Mars in the mix, it should ramp up the energy and intensity of the theme of sudden and abrupt changes...

If you are feeling like you need a break from the Mars-Uranus square on the 26th of June, relief is on the way when the Sun in Cancer trines Saturn in 7 degrees of Pisces on June 28.  The Sun trining Saturn makes it easier and less stressful to deal with responsibilities.  It favors making plans and constructive changes because it will be easier to focus on details.  It is also possible to receive a promotion or some form of recognition for our past efforts. The Moon is also in Scorpio on that day, so we have the added perk of a Grand Water Trine.  The Moon will be trining Mercury in Cancer in addition to the Sun and Saturn in Pisces, providing us with more power to focus and regenerate. 

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift.

Saturn Stations Retrograde in Pisces, a New Moon in Gemini and the Sun Enters Cancer

 

We have another highly active week coming up astrologically.  On June 17, Saturn stations retrograde in 7 degrees of Pisces.  It remains retrograde until November 4, when it stations direct in 0 degrees of Pisces.  Saturn is the planet renowned for its affiliation with responsibility, delays, lessons and frustrations, but as Christopher Renstrom so eloquently stated in his Astrology Hub podcast this week, we don't get a break in these areas of life just because Saturn will be retrograde.

As a matter of fact, Saturn retrograde will make things even slower and probably cause more delays as we become more reflective.  Saturn entered Pisces on March 7, 2023 (on a Full Moon in Virgo to boot) and we could definitely find ourselves dealing with issues that were prevalent in early March. Saturn retrograde is a time of karmic reckoning.  We will need to take responsibility for past actions and own any mistakes that we have made.  It is indeed a time to look to the wisdom of the past for guidance.  We are probably going to be reassessing our boundaries and learning to accept the restrictions in our lives.  Don't be surprised if you wind up feeling sad, tired and stuck.  Our mental health and spiritual beliefs are coming under intense scrutiny. Restructuring is a key theme of Saturn retrograde.  It really depends on where transiting Saturn in Pisces is falling in your chart and the aspects that it makes to your natal and progressed planets.  Saturn in Pisces is currently in my 5th house, which is kind of stifling my inner child.  By the time it stations direct in November 2023, it will be trining my natal Mercury in Scorpio, so hopefully I will have gleaned some insights and figured a few things out to restructure my life and experience more joy and creativity.

On June 18, 2023 we have a New Moon in 26 degrees of Gemini.  New Moons are associated with setting new intentions and a New Moon in Gemini can provide lots of information, as well as requiring us to make some important choices. But this New Moon is squaring Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces, which can add some delusion, fog and a stressful vibe. A lot of information will be circulating and it could be very confusing.  Pay attention to details during this New Moon, do your research and apply your common sense.  The New Moon in Gemini can also be very creative and romantic because both Mars and Venus are in the sign of Leo. The best possible outcome of this New Moon in Gemini is that we will connect to our spiritual side, open up our psychic sensitivity and obtain a different perspective on all of this information that is being presented to us.

Jupiter in Taurus will be forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 7 degrees of Pisces on June 19.  This is a very positive aspect that has a theme of cautious expansion.  Jupiter loves to expand while Saturn tends to restrict, so when these two planets are in a favorable aspect, it really is a good thing.  If we are patient, persevere and act responsibly while using our common sense, we can definitely see long-lasting benefits in the future.

The Sun enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer on June 21, 2023 and marks the official start of summer.  When the Sun is in Cancer, we are more emotional, sensitive and inclined to be more protective towards loved ones.  Our nesting urge takes hold and we might be prone to making some home improvements.  We are more nurturing and instinctive.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of the Sun in Cancer is a tendency to be more manipulative.  Mercury and Uranus are moving very quickly in the sign of Taurus now, so we can look at facts with a new perspective.  Uranus is in 21 degrees of Taurus and it has not been here since May 1940 due to its 84-year cycle.  Once again, the theme of looking to the past for guidance resurfaces.  I am a firm believer that history can repeat itself unless we pay attention.

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift. 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?

Happy Father's Day to all of the dads out there on June 18! 

 

 

Pluto Slips Back into Capricorn and Mercury Zips into Gemini

 

Pluto is about to leave Aquarius after giving us a taste of life in the fixed air sign since March 23.  It introduced us to AI and the promise of more technological breakthroughs.  But Pluto stationed retrograde on May 1, never making it past 0 degrees of  Aquarius.  On June 11, Pluto will slip back into the anaretic degree of 29 degrees of Capricorn.  The anaretic degree of a sign is known as the critical or fated degree because it tends to trigger a sense of urgency or crisis. If you are feeling a sense of this is do or die time, you are feeling it already. Pluto stations direct in 27 degrees of Capricorn on October 10, 2023.  Pluto will be back in Capricorn until January 24, 2024 when it slips back into Aquarius but due to the fact that it retrogrades every year, it will re-enter Capricorn for its final pass from September 24, 2024 through November 20, 2024 before it settles into Aquarius until March 8, 2043.

What can we expect during this next stage of the Pluto in Capricorn transit?  Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008, transforming the financial, political and governmental structures of our lives.  And it is by no means done yet.  Pluto is also associated with power and we are about to undergo more changes.  Pluto can be like a wrecking ball, or as I frequently like to refer to it, the Roto-Rooter of planets.  It is going to dredge up some very ugly stuff, forcing us to descend into the underworld, before we can move forward.  There is a lot of unfinished business to be attended to.  It is not an understatement to say that our government could radically change by the end of 2024. And we have another election year in 2024 for the United States.  The Pluto Return of the United States continues...

My progressed Sun is in 29 degrees of Capricorn and won't enter Aquarius until early May 2024.  So yes, folks, I am right in the thick of it.  I am also a Scorpio and lived through transiting Pluto in Scorpio conjunct my natal Sun back in the days of October through December 1991.  It was not the lightest of times and I can tell you that I personally felt as though certain authoritarian powers were getting the best of me back then.  My job went through many unpleasant changes which I had no control over, which is probably pretty typical of having Pluto transiting your 2nd house.  Pluto in Capricorn is currently transiting my 4th house, and that is certainly an intense transit too.

Mercury cleared its retrograde shadow on May 31 and is about to enter Gemini on June 11, the same day that Pluto re-enters Capricorn.  But on June 9, Mercury in Taurus will form a supportive sextile to Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces.  When Mercury sextiles Neptune, we could hear some inspiring news (which we could sorely use right now) and our intuition and empathy will be soaring. Mercury in Taurus also departs with a trine to Pluto in Capricorn on June 11.  This can lend more passion and persuasive powers to our communication.  Hold on to those good thoughts... 

Mercury will literally zip through Gemini, departing on June 26.  Mercury is a happy camper in the sign of Gemini, one of the two signs that it rules.  The other sign is Virgo.  When Mercury is in Gemini, we tend to be more curious, social and communicative.  But the shadow side of Mercury in Gemini is that we can be more scattered, as we are prone to multi-tasking.  And we can have more nervous energy.  We really need to pay attention to details right now and don't be afraid to ask the questions to get the answers so that we can take the next steps.

Mercury in Gemini will be squaring Saturn in 7 degrees of Pisces on June 15.  I will not sugarcoat this aspect, as it can be accompanied by negative thinking, misunderstandings and distance in close relationships.  The major theme of Mercury squaring Saturn is to see the worst possible side of a situation.  Saturn tends to trigger our fears.  Just remember this and you will get through it...

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift. 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?

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, 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, 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 twice. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

A Grand Water Trine, Full Moon in Sagittarius and Venus Enters Leo

 

It's a whole new month and June is promising lots of action already.  On June 2, we have a beautiful Grand Water trine involving Venus in Cancer, Neptune in Pisces and the Moon in Scorpio.  A Grand Water trine facilitates a smooth flow of emotions and has a strong emphasis on emotional healing.  The fact that it includes the Moon in Scorpio reinforces that theme even more. It also amps up the passion and intensity level.  There is more compassion, romance, daydreaming and relaxation in the mix.  We can find it easier to express more tenderness in love.  Notice where 27 degrees of these water signs falls in your chart.  For me, Venus in Cancer is conjunct my Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in my 10th house  and trines my Venus and Ceres in Scorpio in my 2nd house, while the Scorpio Moon is conjunct my Venus and Ceres while trining my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer.  And sweet Neptune in Pisces is in my 6th house trining my Scorpio and Cancer planets.

The pace picks up on June 3 when we have a Full Moon in 13 degrees of Sagittarius.  A Full Moon in Sagittarius is associated with optimism, adventure, truth and honesty.  And since Full Moons have a way of shining a light on secrets, there very well could be some big reveals heard in the news at this time.  We can't forget that the South Node of the Moon is currently in the sign of Scorpio, which is renowned for its affinity for secrets and being extremely private.  The Full Moon in Sagittarius is trining Mars in Leo, which provides a jolt of courage to face and transform our fears.  It can make us quite fearless in our pursuit of the truth and attaining our long-term goals.  It can also pose a challenge to our higher principles. The Full Moon in Sagittarius is also inconjunct Jupiter in Taurus, which is the ruling planet of Sagittarius.  This aspect can manifest in our being overly enthusiastic and over-the-top, so we might need to make some adjustments in our expectations.  Finally, the Full Moon in Sagittarius is squaring Saturn in Pisces, which can make us feel somewhat restricted and depressed.  Full Moons are also associated with closure and completion, which can play out as unhealthy relationships ending.  I am by no means predicting a lot of break-ups, but I think that if a relationship does end at this time it is for the best.

Mercury and Uranus will be conjunct in 20 degrees of Taurus on June 4, which is also heavily influencing the theme of surprising news on the Full Moon.  Mercury cleared its retrograde shadow on May 31, so it is moving ahead at full speed now.  When Mercury and Uranus are conjunct, we are more open to progressive ideas and our intuition is heightened.  Insights could be flowing freely, so pay attention.

On June 5, Venus enters Leo for an extended stay until October 8, 2023.  Guess what- Venus will be stationing retrograde in 28 degrees of Leo on July 22.  It will station direct in 12 degrees of Leo on September 3.  Venus is retrograde every 18 months and the last time it was retrograde in Leo was back in August and September of 2015. It started its retrograde in 0 degrees of Virgo in July 2015. It might help us to think back of what was going on in our lives back then, because we might be dealing with similar issues.

But what can we expect when Venus is in Leo?  Well, we can expect passion, drama and a tendency to crave big romance.  Flamboyance, generosity and love of luxury items are also trademarks of Venus in Leo.  Watch your credit cards during this transit.  The shadow side of Venus in Leo is a tendency towards arrogance, excessive pride and needing to be the center of attention.

Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius on June 5, and this can add pressure to relationships by emphasizing power imbalances.  Jealousy, obsession and compulsive attractions are characteristic of this particular mix.  Both Venus and Pluto are in fixed signs, so there are bound to be clashes involving strong-willed individuals.  This is just to give you a heads up.  I have a natal Venus-Pluto square in fixed signs, so I am all too aware of how these two planets can act out...

These are very challenging and unique times; an astrological reading could provide some much-needed clarity and guidance.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift.
