The motivational energy is about to take a
radical shift on June 11 when Mars enters the fire sign of Leo where it reigns
until July 29, 2021. Mars has been in
Cancer since April 23rd and it was not a happy camper in
Cancer. Mars is uncomfortable in Cancer,
and was more content to stay on the sidelines and fight for or with home life
issues. It is also associated with
passive-aggressive behavior and feeling unable to fight for itself. Mark my words, we are going from a time of
taking care of others that Mars in Cancer symbolized to taking care of me,
which is what Leo represents. And it’s not
a moment too soon for this to happen after all of the recent emotional drama. We just had a Solar Eclipse in Gemini on June
10, inspiring me to tweet:
The positive side of that Gemini Moon was that
it had us talking as a means of healing.
My tweet on June 9 reflected that concept:
But now that Mars in Leo we are literally
driven by a desire to enjoy life to the fullest and express ourselves. Mars in Leo is characterized by high enthusiasm,
craving attention, romantic gestures and full-blown assertiveness. We are more passionate and dramatic but the
shadow side is that we can become more egotistical and self-centered. But it is still a welcome change from Mars in
Cancer when we experienced bouts of indecisiveness. Mars in Leo is all about Me, which is
something we all need to embrace these days.
Ask yourself what makes you feel good and act on it through the end of
July. Just try to be mindful of how your actions affect others. It really is a perfect vibe for enjoying the
summer.
And ta-da, on June 14, we have the second
square of Saturn in Aquarius to Uranus in Taurus, exact in 13 degrees. The first one occurred on February 17th
in 7 degrees when both planets were direct, the upcoming square features Saturn
retrograde and the third one happens on December 24, 2021 in 11 degrees when
Uranus is retrograde. There is no doubt that this is the astrological elephant
in the room, the defining aspect of 2021 just like the Saturn-Pluto conjunction
in Capricorn was in 2020.
The Saturn-Uranus square is making us
painfully aware of the cracks in the foundation in our society and the challenges
we face in terms of making the big changes that Uranus wants but Saturn is
controlling us by making us work hard to get those changes. We can’t just snap our fingers and expect
everything to change overnight. The
bottom line is that we need to make some very big decisions. I loved what astrologer Anne Ortelee said
about the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn starting to make
the changes in February while the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius
and Pisces are getting their shot now.
And the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will probably
wait until December to make their changes because fixed signs are the most
resistant to change.
The best way to deal with this energy is
to let go of the past and go with the flow, which is far easier said than done,
especially with the square occurring in fixed signs. The Saturn-Uranus square can also have health
implications, including accidents involving the bones and teeth (which are
ruled by Saturn) and nervous energy. Uranus is very high-strung. If either Saturn or Uranus makes contact with
your Sun, Moon, Mars or Saturn you need to be super-vigilant about taking care
of your health.
As an astrologer, I am seeing quite
clearly how the Saturn-Uranus square is impacting me. Transiting Saturn in Aquarius has been
squaring my natal Saturn in Scorpio since late March 2021 and will continue
through late July 2021. I am questioning
decisions that I made seven years ago trying to ascertain if they are still
serving my best interests, and if not, how I can tweak them to be more
productive and useful. This is
compounded by the fact that Saturn is also conjunct my natal Mars in Aquarius,
which screams frustration at lack of progress.
This transit continues until late January 2022, so I am being forced to
learn patience and take baby steps towards my progress. And I have Uranus in Taurus opposing my
Saturn in Scorpio, which is creating lots of internal pressure about the
existing structure of my life and the limitations they impose upon me. There is no quick fix for this one and I will
need to learn what to keep and what to discard.
Uranus in Taurus is also forming a square to my Mars in Aquarius, which
ramps up the frustration level and creates a very restless vibe. I literally have my work cut out for me these
days, just like my clients.
If you are curious about how all of these planetary changes
will be affecting you personally, 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 been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a combination reading which offers the option of a
30 minute astrology consultation with a one question tarot reading for only
$50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can accommodate
any budget.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation

obtaining insight and clarity. I offer a 24 card tarot card reading for $50
which incorporates the twelve houses of the horoscope.

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 further notice in order to practice social
distancing. I no longer have my Brookline office, so all of my Reiki sessions
will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. When it becomes
clearer that the virus no longer poses a threat, I will find a new space to
practice. 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 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 for payment. I have also written an article about distance
Reiki, which is available at:

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. And get a vaccine. 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!
