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:

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
