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

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.

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!
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
