Today’s #SolarEclipse in Sagittarius is conjunct Mercury making it very favorable for mental endeavors. It also trines Mars in Aries so act on manifesting those wishes! #astrology

On the following day, December 15, Venus entered Sagittarius and Chiron stationed direct, inspiring me to tweet:
There is a strong healing theme today with the Capricorn Moon squaring Chiron in Aries and Chiron stationing direct after 5 months retrograde. Let the healing begin! #astrology

But two days later, on December 17, the unofficial entrance into the age of Aquarius began when Saturn entered Aquarius and I tweeted:
The major astrological event of today is Saturn entering Aquarius. This is huge and indicates that our challenges and rewards for hard work will focus on the future and the collective good. #astrology

But on December 19, things get even better when Jupiter
enters Aquarius. Jupiter will be a whole
lot more comfortable in Aquarius than it was in Capricorn and will be more
adept at looking to the future. Jupiter
will remain in Aquarius until May 13, 2020 and briefly move into Pisces until
July 28, but then it will go back into Aquarius until December 28, 2021.
Jupiter in Aquarius is all about rebirth, awakening and unexpected opportunities. It also brings infectious optimism, a quest for freedom and dramatic breakthroughs. I know that everyone is thrilled that both Saturn and Jupiter are finally out of Capricorn, which contributed to the pandemic and the struggles many of us have endured in 2020. The shadow side of Jupiter in Aquarius includes tendencies to be self-righteous, arrogant, eccentric, impulsive to excess, and prone to irresponsible rebellion, but I think if we are mindful of these qualities, we are much better off with Jupiter in Aquarius.
Mercury is changing signs on December 20 and entering Capricorn, where it will stay until January 8, 2021. This is yet another big planetary change affecting the way we communicate. Our focus will be more practical, direct, straight-forward and business oriented as we build ideas. Just be aware of its shadow side to be more rigid and pessimistic and we should be fine.
Hold the date of December 21 as a major turning point. For starters, it’s the Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year as the Sun enters Capricorn. When the Sun is in Capricorn, it’s time to take care of business, be more responsible and ambitious. We are focused on working towards long-term goals.
But the major astrological event of December 21 is the much ballyhooed and awaited Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in 0 degrees of Aquarius. This is really the start of the Age of Aquarius. A conjunction in 0 degrees is an even stronger indicative of new beginnings. We only get Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions every 20 years; the last one occurred on May 21, 2000 in Taurus. Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions always bring periods of massive change. This Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is really special because it is in air sign and we haven’t had one in Aquarius since 1226. Back then it ushered in the Renaissance. We will be experiencing the next grouping of Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in air signs. The next Jupiter-Saturn conjunction will be in 17 degrees of Libra on October 31, 2040. If I am still alive then, it will be conjunct my ascendant. Mark my words, this one has a strong theme of new beginnings and we will see major advances in technology with the conjunction occurring in Aquarius. A conjunction in Aquarius will hopefully utilize technology to bring changes that benefit the collective; we have already seen how Zoom has become more commonplace during the pandemic as a way to keep us connected and informed.
Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions indicate social change but Saturn and Jupiter aren’t exactly the most compatible playmates. Saturn is the Great Taskmaster and Jupiter is the expansive, generous and at times overly optimistic and jovial favorite uncle. Saturn is all about restrictions, limitations and responsibility while Jupiter just loves to expand whatever it touches. I frequently think of them as Scrooge and Santa Claus. But they do have to work together to implement those changes. And you can bet that with the conjunction occurring in Aquarius, those changes will involve improvements that are motivated by more egalitarian themes. So, in my mind, this is truly the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, which we started hearing about back in the late 1960’s and is now finally coming to bear fruit.

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!
