Mars in Leo Squares Uranus in Taurus, Jupiter in Cancer Squares Saturn and Neptune in Aries and Mars Moves into Virgo

 

Don't expect June 15, Father's Day, to be a particularly calm or loving day.  We are still feeling the effects of the Full Moon in Sagittarius that occurred on June 11 and we have two extremely powerful aspects on June 15.  Mars in Leo is forming an exact square to Uranus in 28 degrees of Taurus and Jupiter in Cancer is squaring Saturn in 1 degree of Aries.

Mars in Leo squaring Uranus in Taurus has themes of impulsiveness, cravings for excitement, recklessness and sudden actions.  It can be a very accident-prone vibe, so be careful driving.  I certainly hope that there are no more plane crashes.  Conflict is possible.  The Moon is in Aquarius on that day and it is inconjunct Mercury in 12 degrees of Cancer, which only serves to heighten the volatility factor which is in high gear from June 11-16. Harsh words could be flying all over the place. Uranus rules the sign of Aquarius. Both Mars and Uranus are in fixed signs, which implies a great deal of stubbornness.  Uranus in Taurus can involve changes pertaining to stability and finances.  If you have any planets in the late degrees of the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio), I guarantee that you are going to feel this aspect intensely.  Mars will be conjunct my Pluto in Leo, so I know this one won't be easy...

Remember last week I said that even though Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, it won't be smooth sailing right away?  On June 15, Jupiter in Cancer squares Saturn in 1 degree of Aries. This aspect screams inner tension and limiting circumstances.  Jupiter wants to expand and Saturn is all about structures and testing us.  There can also be financial hardships with Jupiter squaring Saturn.  A crisis point can emerge that forces us to end destructive behavior patterns like excessive criticism and addictions.  I am not going to sugarcoat this aspect; it can be a real struggle to overcome limitations but hard work and determination will pay off. It can be a day when our patience is sorely tested.  Anyone with planets in the early degrees of the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will bear the brunt of this aspect.

Mars gets out of Leo on June 17 and enters Virgo, where it resides until August 6.  Mars is the planet of passion and what motivates us.  Mars in Virgo is all about the details; we are galvanized to get things right and perfect.  Mars is in an earth sign now, which can be much more practical and rational than in a fire sign. Anger can erupt if things aren't right, though. Try not to let your inner perfectionist sabotage you or be too critical. When Mars is in Virgo, we can also have a tendency to overanalyze.  We can use the transit of Mars in Virgo constructively to help others and embrace a more holistic lifestyle.  Paying attention to the details of our health to improve is a positive use of this energy.

Jupiter in Cancer will be squaring Neptune in 2 degrees of Aries on June 18.  Jupiter squaring Neptune can cause overindulgence, overoptimism and over-idealism as well as a lack of discrimination.  We can also experience a strong desire for escapism.  Our faith might be tested on this day.  It is definitely not the best day to gamble.  If you need some escapism on this day, try a safer form of indulging through streaming some movies or TV shows.

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:

A Week of Major Planetary Shifts as Venus Enters Taurus, Mercury and Jupiter Move into Cancer and a Potent Full Moon in Sagittarius

 

The month of June is off to a roaring start and it gets sweeter on June 6 when Venus enters its happy place of Taurus until July 4. Venus rules both Taurus and Libra, so it functions optimally in both signs.  Love is about to become kinder and softer with Venus in Taurus.  We can embrace a common sense approach to both love and finances.  Sensuality rules; it's time to get in touch with the pleasures of our 5 senses.  Feel free to pamper and spoil yourself.  It's a perfect time to enjoy the arts too.  Just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus in Taurus is overindulgence.

Mercury is on the move too.  It zips into Cancer on June 8 until June 26.  Our thinking and communication are set to become softer and more intimate.  We are also more willing to share ourselves more personally with others.  Be prepared to express a big case of the feels.  Intuition is much stronger now because Mercury is in a water sign.  And we are more inclined to listen with our hearts.

Jupiter is moving into the sign it is exalted in- Cancer, on June 9 until June 30, 2026.  Jupiter hasn't been in Cancer since June 2013 through mid-July 2014 because it operates on a twelve-year cycle.  Jupiter represents growth, abundance and good luck.  Jupiter transiting Cancer can also expand our emotional nature and create opportunities for a dream home life and family.  Friendships can be expanded too because many people consider their friends to be family. Self-care is also important when Jupiter is in Cancer.  Anyone who has Jupiter in Cancer (that's me) will be experiencing their Jupiter Return.  I have Jupiter at 29 degrees, so I won't get my Jupiter Return until 2026 but by September 2025 Jupiter will be entering my 10th house before it conjuncts my Uranus and Jupiter in Cancer.  But first it will conjunct my South Node in Cancer in July, which I expect will bring a release from the past.  I know that it did back in 2013; I decide to leave my job in the world of academia back then.

It won't always be smooth sailing when Jupiter first enters Cancer because it will be squaring Saturn and Neptune in Aries. This period will last approximately from June 9 through 20.  We can be prone to over idealism and bubbles can burst.  Jupiter in Cancer can also make us overly emotional and protective, which represents its shadow side.  Just watch out for overeating, being overly sentimental or getting caught up in the past.  I know this will be an issue for me...

On June 11, we have a super potent Full Moon in 20 degrees of Sagittarius.  It could be rather explosive in a fire sign, especially with a Grand Fire Trine involving Mars in 26 degrees of Leo and Chiron in 26 degrees of Aries with that Full Moon in 20 degrees of Sagittarius.  It is a very restless and independent vibe that can have a strong theme of I'm doing it my way. The Full Moon in Sagittarius is also inconjunct Uranus in 28 degrees of Taurus, adding to the volatility and unpredictability.  We just might have to make some adjustments on the fly.

With Chiron prominently featured,  it could bring intensified awareness of deep emotional wounds to initiate some healing.  Don't count out Chiron's influence.  I know that I am still reeling from the conjunction between Chiron and Venus that occurred on June 1.  The Full Moon in Sagittarius trining Mars in Leo can feature more irritation and conflict, but it also holds the potential for positive action to be taken.

Mercury in Cancer is in a supportive sextile to Venus in 4 degrees of Taurus on the Full Moon, which has the promise of words that can heal our relationships.  Overall, this Full Moon has a strong theme of getting out of your comfort zone, as truth, action and healing are major players.  Try to aim for something bigger and have the courage to move toward uncharted territory.
