A Full Moon in Sagittarius, Mercury Enters Cancer and the Sun Sextile Saturn

 

The month of May is ending with a Blue Moon on May 31.  The term Blue Moon simply means that we have two Full Moons in one month, which is rare. The month began with a Full Moon in 11 degrees of Scorpio on May 1 and on May 31 we have a Full Moon in 9 degrees of Sagittarius.

A Full Moon in Sagittarius has strong themes of freedom, expansion, truth, honesty (sometimes in a rather blunt fashion) and travel.  There can be big reveals and secrets that come to light.  Since a Full Moon is also associated with closure and completion, we could be leaving behind old baggage and belief systems.  This Full Moon is opposing Uranus in 2 degrees of Gemini, further emphasizing freedom, restlessness and the potential for unexpected news.  But the good news about this Full Moon is that it is trining Saturn in 12 degrees of Aries, which is very auspicious for making long-term plans and setting boundaries in relationships.  For me personally, the Full Moon falls in my 2nd house and opposes my natal Moon in Gemini in my 8th house, so I have no doubt that finances will be a major issue.

On June 1 Mercury enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer until August 25 due to the upcoming Mercury retrograde that starts on June 29 in 26 degrees of Cancer.  Mercury in Cancer is a whole different vibe from Mercury in Gemini, which it rules.  When Mercury is in Cancer, our thoughts and ideas are filtered through a more emotional and intuitive lens.  We can be more sentimental but also moody and quite literally crabby.  Our memory is strengthened with Mercury in Cancer.  Communication is loaded by our emotions, so prepare for a big case of the feels.  Reflection on the past will be a big component of this transit, especially during the retrograde, which ends on July 23 in 16 degrees of Cancer. If you have any planets or points in this 10-degree range, you will feel the impact more acutely. The summer of 2026 will be heavily influenced by Mercury in Cancer. 

On June 2, the Sun in Gemini is forming a supportive sextile to Saturn in 12 degrees of Aries.  It is so nice to see these two planets working well together.  I speak from personal experience on this one because I have a natal Sun-Saturn conjunction in Scorpio which is not the easiest aspect to live with.  But the Sun sextiling Saturn gives us more self-discipline, determination and patience.  We find it easier to solve problems and pay attention to details.  If we do take on additional responsibilities it won't feel like they are a burden.  Any endeavors that we initiate now will have the capacity to go the distance and have long-lasting results.  We could even receive rewards for our efforts because while Saturn is known as the Great Teacher and is associated with limitations, it can reward us if we have been responsible.  Just remember that while sextiles are easy flowing aspects we do have to take proactive steps to reap the benefits.  It's literally a case of if you snooze you lose, 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:
