Brace yourself for the third eclipse on July 5, 2020 that we have experienced in
five weeks. It will be a lunar eclipse
in 13 degrees of Capricorn. That’s right, folks, it’s the third eclipse since
June 5th, which was a lunar eclipse in 15 degrees of Sagittarius
followed by a solar eclipse in 0 degrees of Cancer on June 21, 2020.
I always say that lunar eclipses are like full moons on
steroids and this one will not be an exception.
I like to look at the history of certain astrological aspects and this
eclipse has some pretty interesting baggage.
For starters, we had a lunar eclipse in 14 degrees of Capricorn on July
6, 1963 and back then we had Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech and
the assassination of President Kennedy.
Fast forward to July 5, 2001 and we had a lunar eclipse in 13 degrees of
Capricorn which featured another Saturn Pluto aspect (an opposition with Saturn
in Gemini and Pluto in Sagittarius) which is reminiscent of the infamous Saturn
Pluto conjunction in Capricorn from January 2020 that manifested in the
Coronavirus. Any astrologer worth their
salt will tell you that the lunar eclipse in July 2001 led to the attacks on
9/11.
I don’t want to be predicting wars or assassinations, but
this eclipse will be a big deal for the United States of America. It happens one day after the 4th
of July, which is America’s birthday.
And we need to remember that the United States is moving into its first
Pluto Return. Pluto was in 27 degrees of
Capricorn in 1776 and Pluto will be in 27 degrees of Capricorn in 2022. But we are definitely feeling the effects in
our economy and government with Pluto now in 24 degrees of Capricorn. Jupiter and Saturn have already reached 27
degrees of Capricorn, although they are both retrograde but will be back to 27
degrees in November and December 2020.
Retrograde Saturn re-entered Capricorn on July 1, 2020,
inspiring me to tweet:
We can’t forget the importance of Pluto in Capricorn in this eclipse or in anything that happens in 2020 for that matter. On July 5th, the moon in Capricorn will conjunct retrograde Pluto in 24 degrees of Capricorn and retrograde Jupiter in 23 degrees of Capricorn. Purging and detoxing are major themes with Pluto in Capricorn and this lunar eclipse will amplify the theme of deconstructing the old order. Transiting Jupiter will be in 22 degrees of Capricorn during the week of July 8 -16, 2020, which will give us a revisiting of the Saturn Pluto conjunction in that degree on January 12th and a preview of what will transpire from August through November 2020.
The big astrological event today is retrograde Saturn reentering Capricorn until December. It’s time to revisit and revamp outworn structures in business, government and finances. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) July 1, 2020
Full moons also tend to bring a sense of closure and
completion. This year we have the Black
Lives Matter movement and the number of Coronavirus cases increasing. Interestingly enough, we had the second
Jupiter Pluto conjunction on June 30, 2020 and the consensus is that all
Jupiter seemed to expand was the surge in Coronavirus cases. The last Jupiter Pluto conjunction occurred
on April 4th when the Coronavirus was surging in many states. Jupiter
is not a happy camper in the sign of Capricorn; it’s exalted in Cancer, so it
is technically in fall in Capricorn because it is so uncomfortable in
Capricorn.
We can’t forget the importance of Pluto in Capricorn in this eclipse or in anything that happens in 2020 for that matter. On July 5th, the moon in Capricorn will conjunct retrograde Pluto in 24 degrees of Capricorn and retrograde Jupiter in 23 degrees of Capricorn. Purging and detoxing are major themes with Pluto in Capricorn and this lunar eclipse will amplify the theme of deconstructing the old order.

Another major theme of the lunar eclipse on July 5, 2020
will be one of practical security. It is
a south node eclipse and has the power to shine a light on something that has
been hidden and could signal a completion of a cycle. We may need to engage in some kind of release
or adjustments in business and our levels of maturity and responsibility. Mars
in 4 degrees of Aries will be squaring Mercury in 7 degrees of Cancer, so the
air is ripe for conflict and angry words.
Saturn in 29 degrees of Capricorn, the critical degree, could very well
bring out the shadow side of Capricorn, which is abuse of power and control.
We also have a cardinal Grand Cross aspect on the day of lunar
eclipse. It involves the moon in Capricorn, the sun in Cancer, Mercury in 7
degrees of Cancer, and Vesta in 13 degrees of Cancer squaring Juno in 9 degrees
of Libra and Chiron in 9 degrees of Aries.
All of these square and opposition aspects generate a great deal of
tension. The moon in Capricorn opposing
Vesta in Cancer has a theme of devotion to a higher cause and the Black Lives
Matter movement is a prime example of that.
Juno in Libra opposing Chiron in Aries places a greater emphasis on
wounding and healing in committed relationships. Let’s face it, the lockdown has forced many
of us to deal with our emotional triggers.
Mercury in Cancer is encouraging us to let go of beliefs that are no
longer serving our best interests.
The bottom line with this eclipse is that with its focus on
practical security it will force us to deal with the effects of that Saturn
Pluto conjunction in Capricorn back on January 12, 2020 and the
Coronavirus. Some may be tempted to let
their guards down with the holiday, but we need to remain vigilant by
continuing to wear masks and engage in social distancing.
If you are curious about your progressed sun or how all of
these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an
astrological reading. These are very challenging and unique times; an
astrological reading could provide some much needed clarity and guidance. Check out my menu of services at:
I have also added a new reading to my menu of services, a
Clues to Compatibility reading,
which
is designed primarily for non-romantic relationships and utilizes synastry to
determine your connections with friends, family members and business
associates. Additionally, I have also decided to offer private astrology
lessons by telephone or video, such as Skype or Zoom. Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested
in learning more about astrology.
I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option

only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can
accommodate any budget.

The coronavirus outbreak is causing me
to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people are
concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my
in-person Reiki sessions until August in order to practice social distancing. I will be back in my Brookline office then practicing
Reiki with a mask, gloves, and medical exam sheets for your protection. I will also have hand sanitizer and
disinfectant wipes available. In the meantime, 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 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 $30. For your convenience, I accept PayPal and Venmo as forms of
payment. I have also written an article
about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:

I
urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the
protective measures of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social
distancing, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when
going outside your home and staying home if you are sick. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I
speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have
survived Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
Happy
4th of July!
