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 9 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.

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.

Summer is Coming as Venus, Mercury and the Sun Enter Cancer

 


Gemini season is winding down its journey and for many of us, it can't come soon enough.  The New Moon in Gemini on June 6 featured the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Gemini which generated a tremendous amount of nervous energy and had quite a few people feeling very scattered. It was very frenetic, to say the least.

But the Sun, Mercury and Venus in Gemini have a few more moves to make before they depart.  On June 14, the Sun and Mercury will be conjunct in 23 degrees of Gemini. This should actually be quite pleasant as thinking and communication are emphasized.  Mercury is very comfortable in Gemini, so it will probably entail more socializing and information processing.  The Moon is entering the air sign of Libra during the afternoon, which adds to vibe of wanting to connect with others.  And it's possible that we could be planning some short trips with the Sun and Mercury joining together.

On June 16, Father's Day, Venus in Gemini is squaring Neptune in 29 degrees of Pisces.  This aspect has the potential to create some insecurity and we need to be mindful of people trying to con us or deceive us.  Just remember that anything that seems to be good to be true probably is.  And this aspect occurs in the anaretic degree of both planets, so we could find ourselves needing to make decisions regarding long-standing issues in relationships or finances that have been colored by our idealism. The themes of escapism and substance abuse are also present with Venus squaring Neptune.  

On June 17 Venus enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer at 2:20 a.m. and stays there until July 11. When Venus is in Cancer, we are more sentimental, nostalgic and sensitive.  We are also more inclined to be affectionate and might feel like entertaining at home.  It is a time when our nurturing and protective sides come out to play big-time. Family can become more important to us. We are quite literally dedicated to those we love, but we are also prone to experience more ups and downs in love.  

Mercury is right behind Venus when it moves into Cancer at 5:07 a.m. on June 17.  It will quite literally be zipping through Cancer and will leave on July 2.  Be prepared for some deeper communication from the heart on a very deep instinctual level. Our thoughts will be colored by our emotions, for better or worse. We could wind up being snappy and saying spiteful things. Say good-bye to objectivity. Cardinal signs like to be in control and Mercury in Cancer is going to take that to an emotional level.  It does favor reviewing the past, though, so hold onto that thought and use it constructively.

The Sun enters Cancer on June 20 for the official launch of summer.  It is the longest day of summer and sunlight, so get out there and enjoy it. Our focus completely shifts when the Sun is in Cancer.  Our feelings are more important now as we become more emotional, self-protective and sentimental.  It is a quieter, more relaxed pace. This is probably why so many people plan their vacation at this time of year.  The Sun in Cancer might also be a nesting period for us when our home becomes more important and we could initiate some decorating or renovation projects.   

Saturn is slowing down in Pisces, preparing for its retrograde station on June 29.  It won't get past 19 degrees.  I have written another article for PowerFortunes.com on the upcoming Saturn retrograde.  You can read it at:

Mercury is on the Move, Mars in Leo Squares Uranus in Taurus and the Sun in Cancer Trines Saturn in Pisces

 





Mercury is moving pretty fast these days; it has certainly bounced back from its recent retrograde.  Mercury is getting ready to leave one of its favorite signs, Gemini, but before it does, it squares Neptune in 27 degrees of Pisces on June 25.  This could be a tricky day, rife with confusion and misunderstandings.  Something that has been hidden could come to light in a big way in the news.  Pay close attention because there are literally two sides to every story.  This aspect could also play out with feeling lazy or lethargic.  It falls on a Sunday, so cut yourself some slack and chill out if you need to.

On June 26, Mercury enters the cardinal water sign of Cancer until July 11.  This is a whole different vibe as Mercury shifts from a cerebral sign to a highly emotional and sensitive sign. Communication is focused on expressing our emotions, discussing personal matters and processing our feelings.  Our intuition is stronger now and we should find it easier to listen to others now too.  We could also find ourselves being more sentimental and nostalgic, but it does have a shadow side of being snappy like the crab and can also be inclined towards spitefulness.  Strategy and action are also part of the Mercury in Cancer package.  It's a very brief transit, so make the most of it.

We have a very challenging aspect also occurring on June 26.  Mars in Leo is squaring Uranus in 19 degrees of Taurus. This can be somewhat explosive and I wouldn't be surprised if it triggered some arguments.  We will be in the mood to break free from restrictions and rebel against authority.  It can also be difficult to relax while these two planets are at cross purposes.  If you have any planets around 19 degrees of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, you will definitely feel the effects of this aspect.  My Sun is in 19 degrees of Scorpio, so I am definitely in this camp.  I have been dealing with Uranus in Taurus opposing my Sun, so with Mars in the mix, it should ramp up the energy and intensity of the theme of sudden and abrupt changes...

If you are feeling like you need a break from the Mars-Uranus square on the 26th of June, relief is on the way when the Sun in Cancer trines Saturn in 7 degrees of Pisces on June 28.  The Sun trining Saturn makes it easier and less stressful to deal with responsibilities.  It favors making plans and constructive changes because it will be easier to focus on details.  It is also possible to receive a promotion or some form of recognition for our past efforts. The Moon is also in Scorpio on that day, so we have the added perk of a Grand Water Trine.  The Moon will be trining Mercury in Cancer in addition to the Sun and Saturn in Pisces, providing us with more power to focus and regenerate. 

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.  An astrology reading makes a very thoughtful gift. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

Recently I did a chart reading for an infant born in March.  So if you know someone who has recently given birth and would like some insight into their child, please consider purchasing a reading.  I haven't added it to my regular menu yet, but if you are interested, I charge $50.  Please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com.

The Summer Heats Up with Mars in Aries Squaring Pluto in Capricorn, Mars Enters Taurus and Mercury Enters Cancer


 


The heat is on for this summer and the month of July commences with a real firecracker aspect on July 1 when Mars in Aries forms an exact square to Pluto in 27 degrees of Capricorn. These are two heavy weight planets indicating that power struggles, anger and instinctual fights are likely to emerge. Both Mars and Pluto are considered to rule the sign of Scorpio, so it could get nasty with revenge being a motivating factor.  I wouldn't be surprised if more violence erupts as well.  The United States is still undergoing its Pluto Return and the transformation it brings will come through facing ordeals.  The ordeals are not over, by a long shot.  If anyone has planets between 25-29 degrees in the cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, be on alert for disruptions and some kind of turmoil in your life.  My Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer and Neptune in Libra are in this mix, so I know that I will be facing some kind of conflict and am trying to prepare myself for it.

Neptune stationed retrograde in 25 degrees of Pisces on June 28, the day of the New Moon in Cancer.  It featured a big reveal from Cassidy Hutchinson in the January 6 hearing.  Prior to her testimony and with absolutely no idea this was coming, I had tweeted earlier on that day:
Mars will leave the cardinal fire sign of Aries on July 5 for the fixed earth sign of Taurus where it remains until August 20.  Mars in Taurus is less reckless and impatient; it is motivated by practicality and tends to act in a more grounded way.  It has a slower and more measured pace, which we can probably use after the recent Mars in Aries transit.  When Mars is in Taurus, we are more determined to achieve our goals and have the tenacity to go for it.  But the shadow side of Mars in Taurus is that we can be extremely stubborn and defensive.

Mercury is changing signs on July 5 as well.  It departs the mutable air sign of Gemini for the cardinal water sign of Cancer and stays in Cancer until July 19.  When Mercury is in Cancer, the mind and heart are growing closer.  We tend to communicate in a softer manner as we convey our feelings in a more personal and nurturing manner.  Our intuition is much stronger with Mercury in Cancer, so trust your gut feelings.  We are also inclined to listen to others more when Mercury is in the sensitive water sign of Cancer, which can definitely be helpful.  Just be mindful of the fact that it might not be as easy to be objective in our communication and we should be fine with Mercury in Cancer.

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. As an astrologer and a healer, I am delighted to be able to include a Health and Wellbeing Report that provides a focus on health-related matters in the natal chart and offers nutritional advice and stress management tips.  Who couldn’t use that these days?

I am also offering private astrology lessons by telephone or video, such as FaceTime, 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 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.  As a direct result of the Sun-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on March 13, I introduced a new one-question tarot reading. These can be done by phone or video.

Additionally, I am available for tarot readings by telephone.  I use the Celestial Tarot Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols.  A tarot reading is another great option for 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 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 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. 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:

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 necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine.  If you are eligible for a booster shot, get it. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus!

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the United States!
