A Much Quieter Week Astrologically with Venus in Aries and Mercury in Gemini Taking the Stage

 

Now that we are in the process of adjusting to the shift of Saturn being in Aries, which it entered on May 24, we can do little coasting until Venus, Mercury and Jupiter change signs before the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 11.  We also had a rather delightful New Moon in Gemini on May 26 which featured a conjunction involving the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Gemini and supportive sextiles to Neptune and Saturn in Aries.  Mercury moved into Gemini on May 25. Basically, most of the action in the coming week involves Venus and Mercury.

The month of June commences on the 1st with a conjunction between Venus and Chiron in 25 degrees of Aries.  This is probably the most challenging aspect that we will face this week.  Venus conjunct Chiron urges us to find the courage to confront our wounds and face our hurt feelings.  We might find ourselves dealing with some changes in relationships.  Try to have some empathy for those who have hurt you, which may be easier said than done. Just remember that the only way out is through while trying to choose love over fear. Of course this aspect will have a stronger impact on those who have planets or points in the late degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.  Once again, I am right in the line of fire.  This conjunction falls in my 7th house and opposes my Neptune in 26 degrees of Libra in my 1st house while squaring my Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer in my 10th house as well as my Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house. It could very well prove to be an interesting day for me...

Venus in Aries is really kicking up its heels on June 4 when it forms a supportive sextile to Jupiter in 28 degrees of Gemini.  Venus and Jupiter are known as benefic planets and a sextile aspect can bring opportunities for good luck and growth. This is really nice energy for partying, relaxing, socializing and making money.  It's also a perfect dating vibe, so if you are single and looking for a partner, by all means get out there and mingle. Just be mindful not to overindulge or overspend because Jupiter does have a tendency to expand whatever it touches and go overboard.  Jupiter's philosophy is that you can never have too much of a good thing.

On the following day, June 5, Mercury in Gemini will be sextiling Mars in 23 degrees of Leo.  This will speed up our minds and reflexes.  Mercury is right at home in Gemini, one of the two signs it rules (the other is Virgo) and it is quite literally fueling Mars in Leo so that we can achieve a great deal on this day.  Mercury sextiling Mars provides courage, ambition while emphasizing directness and honesty.  We can absorb new information faster than usual and our words have more power.  It can also facilitate setting boundaries in relationships.  It is really a win-win day, so make the most of it.

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:
