A Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius, Venus Enters Sagittarius and Saturn Moves into Aquarius




Last week may have been fairly quiet astrologically, but this coming week is chock full of comings and goings.  We have the last eclipse of 2020 on December 14 in 23 degrees of Sagittarius. This will be the sixth eclipse of 2020, which is a bit rare because there are usually 4 or 5 eclipses per year but no one can dispute that 2020 has been an unusual year.

The Solar Eclipse on December 14 is a total eclipse because the Moon is completely obscuring the sun and a total eclipse only occurs every 18 months or so.  The last one occurred on August 21, 2017 in 28 degrees of Leo.  This Solar Eclipse actually has a very strong link to the Lunar Eclipse in 15 degrees of Sagittarius of June 5, 2020. Try to remember what you needed to release back in June.  An eclipse in Sagittarius will have strong themes of freedom, the truth, justice and the law.

What does the rest of astrological landscape look like on December 14?  Neptune in 18 degrees of Pisces is squaring the eclipse, so we really won’t know the whole truth until sometime in 2021.  And let’s face it, Neptune is very connected to COVID-19 and I am convinced that it is no accident that news of a vaccine surfaced when Neptune stationed direct on November 28.  But Sagittarius is a very optimistic sign, full of faith and very future oriented, so we have something to be grateful for with this eclipse.  Don’t forget that the Moon is conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius, trining Mars in Aries and Mercury in Sagittarius is trining Mars too.  That’s a lot of positive mental energy that can be put to use setting new intentions and all of that fire is very action oriented.  Since Solar Eclipses are like New Moons on steroids, I urge everyone to set some new intentions.  Anyone with planets in 20-26 degrees of the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will the effects of this eclipse the most acutely.  The Solar Eclipse falls in my third house and sextiles my Neptune in Libra while trining my Pluto in Leo, so I think it is fair to say that I will not be very quiet on that day.  I plan on setting some intentions and making some connections. 

The Moon may be entering Capricorn on the evening of the 14th, but Venus is joining the Sagittarius party with the Sun and Mercury on the 15th.  And Venus in Sagittarius is definitely a party animal. It will be in Sagittarius until January 8, 2021, so make the most of it.  Trust me when I say that you will notice a big difference from Venus in Scorpio and its intensity.  Love will be lighter and more open when Venus is in Sagittarius because it is very social, freedom loving, and joyous.  Truth and honesty are of the utmost importance now.  We will be feeling more optimistic and crave more excitement.  Just be aware that the shadow side of Venus in Sagittarius involves excessive spending highly unusual holiday season.  

Chiron is also stationing direct in 4 degrees of Aries on December 15.  Chiron has been retrograde since July 11.  Chiron is known as the Wounded Healer and it’s quite ironic that this year’s retrograde occurred during a pandemic.  Hopefully we can use the wisdom that we have painfully garnered during this period and put it to good use for healing in the coming months.  Yes, we have the promise of vaccines for this deadly virus, but we will still need to continue acting wisely and bravely to protect ourselves and others by social distancing and wearing masks.  It will be awhile before we see the light at the end of this tunnel. Aries is a warrior and we need to tap into that warrior energy and spirit.  

Saturn is moving into Aquarius on December 16, 2020 until March 7, 2023.  I am sure that I am not alone in being happy that Saturn will be leaving the sign of Capricorn for another 29 years.  After all, this past year has been a heavy influx of Capricorn energy, starting with the Saturn Pluto conjunction on January 12 and the three Jupiter Pluto conjunctions in April, June and November.  They will all be associated with the Coronavirus; it was introduced to the world in January and cases spiked after each Jupiter-Pluto conjunction.  Jupiter will be leaving Capricorn for Aquarius on December 19, which I will cover more in next week’s blog.   But it is a relief to be having Saturn and Jupiter leaving Capricorn.  Yes, we still have Pluto in Capricorn until 2024, but at least Saturn is departing and Jupiter is not very comfortable in Capricorn, either.

What will it be like with Saturn in Aquarius?  Saturn in Aquarius is all about working towards the future and more humanitarianism.  This is a big change from Saturn in Capricorn, which was more concerned with preserving the past and materialistic structures.  Saturn in Aquarius encourages us to access our inner rebel and think outside the box.  We will be more likely to utilize technology to improve our social life and focus on global concerns like the Coronavirus and climate change. Social justice will be a prominent theme with Saturn in Aquarius.  The last time Saturn was in Aquarius was from February 1991 through January 1994.  This is when the Internet was born and it completely changed our lives.  Of course, anyone born during this period will be undergoing their first Saturn Return with this transit of Saturn in Aquarius.  The generation born between1962-1964 will be experiencing their second Saturn Return. 

If you have planets in the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio you will feel driven to make profound changes in the next couple of years as a result of Saturn in Aquarius. I confess that the upcoming Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 0 degrees of Aquarius on December 21 is getting me a little apprehensive because it exactly squares my natal Mercury in 0 degrees of Scorpio.  I won’t even get started on how Saturn in Aquarius will impact my natal Saturn, Sun and Venus in Scorpio or my Pluto in Leo.  I have some time to prepare for those transits.

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 recently learned that 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.  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!

A Busy New Moon in Gemini That Can Make Us Feel Pulled in Two Directions



We have a busy new moon in 2 degrees of Gemini on May 22, 2020 that can literally make us feel like we are being pulled in two directions between our heart and our mind.  Don’t forget that Gemini is the sign of the twins.

New moons are traditionally renowned as a time of setting new intentions and this one is no exception.  We also have a lot of planets in mutable signs during this new moon: the sun and moon in Gemini, in addition to Mercury and Venus conjunct in 19 degrees of Gemini, as well as Mars in 6 degrees of Pisces and Neptune in 20 degrees of Pisces.  A preponderance of planets in mutable signs can manifest in high energy, versatility, adaptability and chameleon like behavior. This planetary alignment can contribute to a lack of focus and a sense of not being terribly grounded. 

A new moon in Gemini is bound to be craving new information and will imbue us with a strong desire to explore an option of choices. The sun and moon in Gemini are also squaring Mars in Pisces, which can make us very assertive in the area of communications.  Mercury and are retrograde Venus are conjunct in 19 degrees of Gemini, which can definitely have us reflecting on relationships and finances.  But Mercury and Venus are squaring Neptune in Pisces, which can manifest in a fog of uncertainty, leading to a clash between the head and the heart.

Neptune has been a heavy astrological hitter in recent days.  On May 20, 2020 Venus in 20 degrees of Gemini was exactly square Neptune in 20 degrees of Pisces, inspiring me to tweet:
This aspect played out for me personally in a very unusual manner that resonates with the vibe of Venus and Neptune squaring each other. Venus was widely conjunct my moon in my 8th house by 6 degrees and on that day I decided to give up practicing Reiki at the Acupuncture for Everyone clinic in Boston.  It was an extremely difficult decision for me to make, as I had been working there for six years and derived enormous satisfaction from my practice. But life post-COVID and the logistics of practicing Reiki in the clinic which is being newly designed would not afford me the opportunity to practice Reiki in a safe manner.  The more I thought about how I could make accommodations to keep everyone safe, the more stressed out I became.  And there is the added fact that I am recovering from COVID-19 myself and awaiting the results of a test which I hope comes back negative because I have been symptom free for two weeks.  I decided to continue practicing distance Reiki and will hold on to my Brookline office, but I probably won’t be back there until July if I can figure out a way to make accommodations for safety in that space.

There is one very positive aspect present on the new moon in Gemini.  It trines Saturn in 1 degree of Aquarius, which can provide a very emotionally stabilizing influence.  It will inspire us to get real for the long haul and may indicate that people can come together for the long-term.  Saturn in Aquarius is all about making plans for the group.

On Memorial Day in the United States, May 25, 2020, Mars in 8 degrees of Pisces will be forming a supportive sextile to Uranus in 8 degrees of Taurus.  This will definitely not be an ordinary Memorial Day holiday thanks to COVID-19, but with this aspect present we can expect something to change suddenly in our favor.  Hold that thought and try to enjoy the holiday.

If you are curious as to 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.

Saturn Enters Aquarius and a New Moon in Aries



There is literally no escaping the impact of the Coronavirus these days.  Many of us feel like we are living in Armageddon with no end in sight.  And it is very difficult to distinguish fact from reality with all of the mixed messages that are coming our way.  On March 15, 2020, I tweeted:
We are still under the influence of some pretty heavy Capricorn energy.  On March 20, 2020, Mars and Jupiter will be conjunct in 22 degrees of Capricorn. How will this aspect will play out?  We could experience more confidence, enthusiasm and courage in a new course of action to combat this global pandemic.  On the plus side, Capricorn is a sign that is renowned for its perseverance and endurance.  So we will keep on with our social distancing, hand washing and staying home as much as possible.  But as an astrologer, I can’t dismiss the fact that this conjunction occurs in the same degree of January’s Saturn Pluto conjunction and that many issues from back then will resurface. None of us knew how the Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn would manifest on a global level, but we now know that the Coronavirus was wreaking havoc in China then.

On March 21, 2020, Saturn enters the sign of Aquarius for the first time since the early 1990’s.  It was last in the air sign of Aquarius from February 6, 1991 through January 28, 1994.  Anyone born during this period will be undergoing their first Saturn Return. But Saturn will only remain in Aquarius until July 1, 2020 due to its retrograde period from May 10, 2020 through September 28, 2020. Saturn will leave Capricorn for good on December 16, 2020 and stay in Aquarius for 2 ½ years.  Saturn in Aquarius is an air sign ruled by Uranus, so we are bound to see and hear more about the Coronavirus.  Many of us in the United States were horrified when we heard President Trump say that this health crisis could last until July or August of this year.  I can’t help but think that Saturn is somehow involved in this.

Saturn in late Capricorn and even when it is in the first two degrees of Aquarius will be squaring the nodes of the moon in three degrees of Cancer for the north node (our collective journey) and three degrees of Capricorn for the south node.  This can contribute to a feeling of being attacked and living in a siege mentality.  We are literally living in a state of war that represents the biggest threat to civilian life since World War II.  If you ever wondered what it was like to live back in those times, this is probably pretty close.  We may not have rationing quite yet, but in the past week, we have seen libraries, stores, health clubs, restaurants, beauty salons and a host of small businesses close down.  Even supermarkets are open for shorter hours.  Basically we are only able to go out to supermarkets and pharmacies to get our essentials.  The economy is taking quite a hit as a result of this pandemic.  Saturn is also squaring Uranus in early Taurus and this aspect frequently manifests as stock market volatility.  It will continue through July 2020 and again in early 2021.
But we have to mindful of the fact that Saturn in Aquarius is a future oriented sign, a very different animal from Saturn in Capricorn, which is all about preserving the status quo. Saturn in Aquarius is more geared towards social equality, humanitarianism, idealism and individual freedoms, so there may very well be a silver lining to this huge cloud hanging over our heads.  A couple of days I was coming home from a walk and I heard the song “What the World Needs Now is Love” blaring from a neighbor’s home.  The song was originally recorded in 1965 by Jackie DeShannon, but I could have sworn it was Dionne Warwick singing it and she did record it in 1966. The 1960’s were a turbulent time and I actually interpreted hearing this song as a sign from the universe.  This is what I am talking about in terms of Aquarius energy.  We do need to pull together during this crisis even if it means that we can’t be physically together.  Aquarius is also known for its detachment and affinity for technology, so don’t hesitate to reach out on your cellphone or computer to call, video chat, text or email others to stay connected.

On March 23, 2020 Mars and Pluto will be conjunct in 24 degrees of Capricorn. This is very aggressive, dangerous and combustible energy.  We need to be prepared for power struggles, ruthless actions and perhaps more lockdowns and shelter in place orders.  Frankly, this aspect has me feeling very scared and vulnerable because it is exactly conjunct my Chiron in Capricorn in my 4th house.

But on March 24, 2020, we have a new moon in 4 degrees of Aries. New moons are a perfect opportunity for setting new intentions and Aries is ruled by Mars, making it a natural warrior. Aries is a cardinal fire sign that is courageous and loves to initiate action.  It is also conjunct Chiron in 5 degrees of Aries, so it has a strong healing theme.  Hopefully this new moon will help us create new solutions for dealing with the Coronavirus and winning this battle with an invisible enemy. 

This new moon in Aries falls in my 6th house of health, daily routines and service to others.  I don’t know about you, but my daily routine has definitely been disrupted and I am scrambling to adapt.  I also wish to be of service to others, so please consider either getting an astrology or tarot reading during this time or a distant Reiki session to alleviate your stress and anxiety as well as heal other conditions.

If you are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please consider getting an astrological reading.  I have recently revised my menu of services and am now offering a Saturn Pluto Conjunction reading for $25 which will offer you some insight and guidance into how this major astrological event that occurred on January 12, 2020 in 22 degrees of Capricorn will impact you.  It’s not too late to purchase this reading because its effects will be felt for most of 2020. It can be purchased through my site 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 in person or by telephone.  Please feel free to contact me at lindasim54@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about astrology.

Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose coaching training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach.  It was an intense, eye-opening experience that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life.  But I left it with feelings of hope and light for the future that I want to share with others.  To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose Coaching to my menu of services.  You can read more about it at:

As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation of the north node by sign. If you are feeling stuck and need some help in getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive changes in your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a good fit for this program.  I look forward to hearing from you.

I am also 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.
