A New Moon in Cancer and Venus Enters Leo

 

The first New Moon of summer is upon us.  On July 5, we have a New Moon in 14 degrees of Cancer that promises to be extremely emotional, as only a water Moon can be.  And we have had Saturn and Neptune station retrograde in Pisces in the past week, adding to the water works. Saturn stationed retrograde in 19 degrees of Pisces on June 29, inspiring me to post:

Saturn stations retrograde in
Pisces today until November 15. We will be reviewing and reassessing our boundaries and structures. It’s a major reality check that we need in order to make progress later this year. #astrology

Neptune followed suit on July 2, when I posted:

Neptune stations retrograde in 29 degrees of Pisces today until December 7. We could become more introspective as we reassess our dreams. #astrology

What are the themes of a New Moon in Cancer?  Hopefully we can set some intentions to nurture and support our loved ones while also engaging in some massive self-care.  Although there are no exact aspects to the New Moon in Cancer, we do have Mars in Taurus forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces.  This is a very positive aspect that will give us the energy, endurance and determination to succeed at whatever we undertake.  It's a perfect complement to a New Moon because it encourages us to plot a course of action in an efficient manner.  And patience is easier to come by, which I think that all of us could use in these challenging times.  Our powers of persuasion are ramped up a notch to boot.

On July 6, Venus in Cancer will be squaring Chiron in 23 degrees of Aries.  This aspect occurs at 2:33 a.m., so I am including it as the New Moon in Cancer will be colored by it.  It can bring discomfort, complications and resurrect deep pain or loss in order to instigate some major healing.  

There is more water energy at play on July 10 when the Sun in 19 degrees of Cancer trines Saturn in 19 degrees of Pisces.  I am particularly invested in this aspect because my Midheaven is in 19 degrees of Cancer and it triggers a Grand Water Trine with my Sun in 19 degrees of Scorpio.  This aspect is associated with responsibility, patience, persistence and determination.  There is no escaping Saturn's influence these days, that's for sure.  It's possible to get some recognition now for our hard work, though.  It is extremely favorable for initiating constructive changes to the structures of our lives. Mental discipline and concentration are very strong now.

Venus leaves Cancer and moves into Leo on July 11 until August 4.  Venus in Leo is characterized by big romance, drama and gestures of generosity and flamboyance.  This is definitely not a shrinking violet Venus.  There is a strong ego investment in our love life, as well as a of luxury. We want to be adored now. The urge to spend is rife, so watch those credit cards.  But Venus in Leo is also creative, warm-hearted and joyful energy.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Leo is a tendency towards excessiveness, arrogance and attention-seeking behavior.

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
