Mercury in Leo Gets Very Busy with Saturn, Neptune and Pluto Before it Enters its Retrograde Shadow

 

Mercury in Leo is definitely quite active this week before it starts slowing down and entering its retrograde shadow in 4 degrees of Leo on June 30.  That's right folks, Mercury retrograde will be official on July 18 when it stations in 15 degrees of Leo until August 11.

On June 27, Mercury in Leo will be trining Saturn in 1 degree of Aries.  Trines are positive aspects, and this one will help us focus on details so that we can make those important decisions.  This is a very favorable aspect for making long-term plans and signing contracts.  Think of it as a cosmic green light for moving forward.  

Since Saturn and Neptune are traveling together in Aries, it should come as no surprise that Mercury in Leo will be trining Neptune in 1 degree of Aries on June 28.  This aspect will stimulate our creativity, imagination and spirituality.  We are more sensitive to vibrations, more intuitive and able to communicate in a more empathetic manner with compassion.  We are also able to see the big picture more easily.  As someone who has a Mercury-Neptune conjunction, I can attest to the fact that when these two planets get together, we can definitely be more psychic and intuitive.

Mercury in Leo will be opposing Pluto in 3 degrees of Aquarius on June 29.  This promises to be a very intense day.  Secrets could be revealed and things can come to a head.  Mind control, intimidation and psychological abuse are the worst-case scenarios for this aspect.  Both Mercury and Pluto are squaring my natal Mercury in Scorpio while Pluto is conjunct my progressed Sun in Aquarius, so I have no doubt that I will be feeling this aspect quite acutely.  Anyone who has planets or points (Ascendant, Descendant, IC, Midheaven or Nodes of the Moon) in 0-3 degrees of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio will be in the line of fire.  Conspiracy theories could surface too.  There is a tremendous surge of mental intensity and we run the risk of being consumed by obsessions.  There can very well be heated arguments and power struggles on this day.  It is possible, however, to channel this energy constructively by facing deep-seated psychological issues.  Therapists could see a surge in business as a result of this aspect.  All I can say to you is pick your battles wisely on this day...

Mercury starts slowing down and enters its retrograde shadow on June 30 in 4 degrees of Leo, stations retrograde in 15 degrees of Leo on July 15, goes direct on August 11 in 4 degrees of Leo and clears the retrograde shadow on August 25 when it hits 15 degrees of Leo.  Interesting times are ahead.

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:
