Saturn and Neptune Retrograde in Pisces While Mercury Zips into Leo

 

Summer is officially here and that means we are getting deeper into retrograde season. Pluto stationed retrograde in Aquarius on May 2. This coming week Saturn and Neptune will join the retrograde party in the sign of Pisces.  Saturn stations retrograde in 19 degrees of Pisces on June 29 until November 15, when it stations direct in 12 degrees of Pisces.

Saturn retrograde is a time for reflecting on boundaries and structures. It is also asking us how we can be more responsible for our lives. We need to grow up and engage in some serious adulting because our karma is catching up with us.  But if you have already been doing the hard work, Saturn can bring some well-deserved rewards.  Saturn retrograde can be a major reality check as it tests our sense of commitment and ability to work hard. Saturn will be testing our patience and we need to accept that there very well could be some delays in our progress.  Don't rush anything while Saturn is retrograde or start new projects; it is better to  continue the work that you have already been engaged in.  We might need to pivot a bit in our foundations.  That is okay because Saturn is, after all, the Great Teacher. Lessons are part of its plan.  Saturn retrograde in the mutable water sign of Pisces can also indicate a period of spiritual grounding.  Saturn was last retrograde in Pisces from June 17 through November 4, 2023, so think back to what was playing out for you back then. Some people might actually benefit during Saturn retrograde as hidden enemies could be revealed.  Retrograde periods always involve the re words: review, reassess.  Realism rules when Saturn is retrograde, so don't be afraid of it and don't let any temporary depression get to you.

Mercury in Cancer is forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 25 degrees of Taurus on June 29 too. We could be experiencing some very vivid dreams that provide big reveals. Boatloads of creativity, inspiration and spiritual pursuits are also possible on this day.

Neptune stations retrograde in 29 degrees of Pisces on July 2 and remains retrograde until December 7 when it stations direct in 27 degrees of Pisces.  Neptune retrograde is extremely subtle.  Some of us might even feel like the fog is lifting as we reconsider our dreams and sense of idealism.  Our nightly dreams could actually be easier to remember and interpret while Neptune is retrograde.

Mercury leaves the cardinal water sign of Cancer on July 2 and enters the fixed fire sign of Leo until July 25. When Mercury is in Leo, our thinking and communication are more confident and expressive.  We are speaking from the heart in a loud and clear manner.  We can also expect lots of laughter and witty banter.  And our creative juices are flowing.  

Venus in Cancer is forming a delightful trine to Saturn in Pisces on July 2 which is extremely favorable for relationships and finances.  Any problems in existing relationships can be resolved amicably now. It's also a nice vibe for shopping as the potential for bargains exists.

But on July 3, Mercury in Leo is opposing retrograde Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius.  This can play out as a battle of ideas, featuring mind control, manipulation and threats. Power struggles are likely and arguments could be part of the scenery too.  For those of us who live in the United States, it is like the fireworks for the 4th of July arrive a day early.  Try to channel this energy into problem-solving for the transformation that we are all undergoing.

I also have a new article published on PowerFortunes.com about the upcoming Mars-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on July 15.  You can read it at:

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:

The First of Two Full Moons in Capricorn This Summer

 

We have our first Full Moon in 1 degree of Capricorn on June 21, only one day after the Sun entered the sign of Cancer.  The second one happens on July 21 in 29 degrees of Capricorn.  There is a strong emphasis on cardinal energy now as Gemini season is in our rearview mirror.  Venus and Mercury sailed into Cancer on June 17. Only Jupiter remains in Gemini until June 2025.  

With the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn on June 21, we could be dealing with some harsh truths about family or relationships.  Our home and work lives could be seriously out of whack and need be to balanced.  Cancer represents our comfort zone while Capricorn is associated with our aspirational goals.  There will be a strong focus on our career and reputation while security, both emotional and material, is a major theme.  Somehow we need to integrate our roots (Cancer) with where we are going (Capricorn).  This is not always easy.  I can certainly attest to this as my South Node of the Moon is in Cancer while my North Node is in Capricorn.  My experience has always been that falling back on your South Node comes easily because it is second nature, while working that North Node is quite literally stretching out of your comfort zone.  It means boldly going where we have never been and we don't know how to do it, but it is well worth the effort.

The fact that we have two Full Moons in Capricorn this year gives us two chances to get things right.  Whatever issues come up for us during this Full Moon will come full circle in a month when we have the second Full Moon in 29 degrees of Capricorn on July 21.  This Full Moon will be in the anaretic degree, which can indicate a crisis-oriented point.  It would be an understatement to say it is critical, but it can also be a strengthening influence. We might find ourselves ruminating for the next month before we make a major decision.  For me personally, the first Full Moon in Capricorn falls in my 3rd house and the second one is in my 4th house.

What else is going on astrologically with this Full Moon? Mercury in Cancer is forming a supportive sextile to Mars in 9 degrees of Taurus.  This is actually quite positive, as we should find ourselves driven to succeed with a strong sense of purpose and initiative.  This certainly feeds the vibe of a Capricorn Full Moon.  Don't forget that Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which loves to be responsible and achieve great things.  Mercury sextiling Mars will also speed up our mind and reflexes.  Full Moons are also known for providing big reveals, so don't be surprised if there are major news stories.

The Sun in Cancer will be inconjunct Pluto in Aquarius on June 22, so we are not out of the woods yet in terms of the effects of this Full Moon.  Intensity and pressure are likely.  An event could occur that threatens our sense of power and we could be tempted to retaliate by engaging in controlling or manipulative behavior.  The most constructive way to deal with whatever crisis manifests is to let go and surrender to a Higher Power.  Whenever Pluto is in the mix, transformation is the name of the game.  Try to transform by not letting your ego get the better of you.  I know this is easier said than done.  The bottom line is that an inconjunct aspect always requires some kind of adjustment.

On June 26, Mercury in Cancer will be trining Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect is very beneficial for concentrated efforts and attention to detail.  Our powers of decision-making will be strong and business dealings should flow smoothly.  We can feel confident about signing contracts under the auspices of this aspect.

Saturn is slowing down in Pisces, preparing for its retrograde station on June 29.  It won't get past 19 degrees.  I have written another article for PowerFortunes.com on the upcoming Saturn retrograde.  You can read it at:

Summer is Coming as Venus, Mercury and the Sun Enter Cancer

 

Gemini season is winding down its journey and for many of us, it can't come soon enough.  The New Moon in Gemini on June 6 featured the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Gemini which generated a tremendous amount of nervous energy and had quite a few people feeling very scattered. It was very frenetic, to say the least.

But the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Gemini have a few more moves to make before they depart.  On June 14, the Sun and Mercury will be conjunct in 23 degrees of Gemini. This should actually be quite pleasant as thinking and communication are emphasized.  Mercury is very comfortable in Gemini, so it will probably entail more socializing and information processing.  The Moon is entering the air sign of Libra during the afternoon, which adds to vibe of wanting to connect with others.  And it's possible that we could be planning some short trips with the Sun and Mercury joining together.

On June 16, Father's Day, Venus in Gemini is squaring Neptune in 29 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect has the potential to create some insecurity and we need to be mindful of people trying to con us or deceive us.  Just remember that anything that seems to be good to be true probably is.  And this aspect occurs in the anaretic degree of both planets, so we could find ourselves needing to make decisions regarding long-standing issues in relationships or finances that have been colored by our idealism. The themes of escapism and substance abuse are also present with Venus squaring Neptune.  

On June 17 Venus enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer at 2:20 a.m. and stays there until July 11. When Venus is in Cancer, we are more sentimental, nostalgic and sensitive.  We are also more inclined to be affectionate and might feel like entertaining at home.  It is a time when our nurturing and protective sides come out to play big-time. Family can become more important to us. We are quite literally dedicated to those we love, but we are also prone to experience more ups and downs in love.  

Mercury is right behind Venus when it moves into Cancer at 5:07 a.m. on June 17.  It will quite literally be zipping through Cancer and will leave on July 2.  Be prepared for some deeper communication from the heart on a very deep instinctual level. Our thoughts will be colored by our emotions, for better or worse. We could wind up being snappy and saying spiteful things. Say good-bye to objectivity. Cardinal signs like to be in control and Mercury in Cancer is going to take that to an emotional level.  It does favor reviewing the past, though, so hold onto that thought and use it constructively.

The Sun enters Cancer on June 20 for the official launch of summer.  It is the longest day of summer and sunlight, so get out there and enjoy it. Our focus completely shifts when the Sun is in Cancer.  Our feelings are more important now as we become more emotional, self-protective and sentimental.  It is a quieter, more relaxed pace. This is probably why so many people plan their vacation at this time of year.  The Sun in Cancer might also be a nesting period for us when our home becomes more important and we could initiate some decorating or renovation projects.   

Saturn is slowing down in Pisces, preparing for its retrograde station on June 29.  It won't get past 19 degrees.  I have written another article for PowerFortunes.com on the upcoming Saturn retrograde.  You can read it at:

Saturn in Pisces Gets Squared by the Sun, Mercury and Venus While Mars Enters Taurus and Squares Pluto in Aquarius

 

We have a lot of Gemini energy these days: on June 6, we had a New Moon in 16 degrees of Gemini that was conjunct Venus in Gemini, conjuncted Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini on June 5 and also squared Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces. The square to Saturn could have resulted in enormous amounts of frustrations and delays. This is a great deal of nervous and scattered energy.

The squares to Saturn are not done by a long shot. On June 7, Venus in Gemini will be squaring Saturn in Pisces.  This one is bound to cause stress in relationships, delays, feelings of loneliness and depression.  It can make us feel like we have to work really hard on relationships.  Venus squaring Saturn can also manifest as money problems.

The Sun in Gemini is squaring Saturn in Pisces on June 8.  This aspect is associated with tests and challenges while contributing heavily to pessimism and depression. It is truly a test of character and can entail a multitude of responsibilities cropping up.  The Sun represents our life force and ego, so don't be surprised if you experience difficulty or frustration in getting your way or reaching your goals.  It can definitely be an ego-bruising day.

Mercury in Gemini has its own square to Saturn in Pisces on June 12.  Mercury squaring Saturn brings a time of buckling down and doing some hard mental work.  Negative thinking and misunderstandings are likely.  And don't rule out the potential for distance in close relationships.

Saturn is slowing down in Pisces, preparing for its retrograde station on June 29.  It won't get past 19 degrees.  I have written another article for PowerFortunes.com on the upcoming Saturn retrograde.  You can read it at: 

https://www.powerfortunes.com/topics-opinions/saturnretrograde-june2024.php

Mars is on the move too.  On June 9 it moves into the fixed earth sign of Taurus after spending time in the cardinal fire sign of Aries since April 29.  This is a big shift in energy.  Determination and tenacity will be our greatest strength and motivators.  It is a major change from the impatience and impulsiveness that embodies Mars in Aries.  We should be acting more grounded, practically and sensibly.  But we need to be mindful of the shadow side of Mars in Taurus: it can be stubborn, like its symbol, the Bull and can also be quite defensive. When Mars is in Taurus, there can be a tendency to avoid confrontations.  However, it is superb energy for careful planning and step-by-step action.  Mars in Taurus values financial security and we are keen on pursuing our monetary goals.  And Mars in Taurus can also motivate us to enjoy earthly pleasures, so be sure to enjoy life too...

Mars in Taurus is put to the test so to speak on June 11 when it squares Pluto in 1 degree of Aquarius.  This aspect is frequently associated with power struggles and confrontations.  Just be mindful of the desire to gain control of others, as there can be issues with authority figures.  Trust your instincts on this day and try to use it as an opportunity to transform situations.  We are exploring our power access by accessing our inner power and navigating our feelings, drive and motivation.  It can be an intense day, but we can come out on the other side of it in a better place if we use this energy constructively.

I offer a 24-card tarot card reading for $50 which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

I am still experiencing technical difficulties with the Buy Now buttons on the Services Offered page of my site.  In the meantime, please feel free to send payments through PayPal to my email at lindasim54@gmail.com.

In 2020, I added a Monthly Horoscopes section to my website. June horoscopes are up now and I now have a link to my monthly forecasts at Horoscope Junkie.  Check it out at:

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. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. 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
