The new moon in 13 degrees of Cancer on July 4,
2016 may have had some sweet aspects that I discussed in last week’s blog, but
I think that I was truly psychic when I tweeted this on July 4th:
“Only potential astrological fireworks today is Cancer #NewMoon opposing
Pluto in Capricorn. Don’t engage in
power struggles at home.”
I can honestly say that I didn’t see it coming
and greatly underestimated the power and intensity of that aspect on July 4th. I enjoyed the holiday for the most part but
did receive an email late in the day that reflected that kind of power struggle
energy and Cancer type moodiness and venting.
I also heard about two women getting into huge fights with their
mothers which is vintage Pluto moon aspect.
I generally love this time of year when the sun is in Cancer, but I
guess that I forgot how moody, sensitive and self-protective Cancer can
be. Every sign has its positive and
negative traits, and those are Cancer’s negative traits. And if anyone had planets or points in the cardinal
signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn that were set off by that new moon
in 13 degrees of Cancer, the potential for explosions was rife. My Libra ascendant and Cancer midheaven took
a hit.
Mars in Scorpio is forming a very uncomfortable
inconjunct aspect with Uranus in Aries from July 5-14, 2016. Now that Mars is direct in Scorpio, everything
is moving at a faster pace and anger is erupting. Adjustments are always required
with inconjuncts, and I have always loved the way astrologer Dietrech Pessin
describes it as “life’s messy, clean it up aspect. It is truly nerve wracking,
tension filled and can also manifest in difficulty sleeping. Mea culpa on that front. I have heard similar
stories from friends and clients on that score.
On July 6th I awoke to a message on my phone that someone had
tried to hack my email account. Nerve
wracking? You bet, because it took me
three attempts to change my password successfully on my devices before the
issue was resolved. The Sun and Mercury
may have been conjunct in Cancer, but it did not make me feel very nurturing,
just extremely moody and upset because my mode of communication was threatened
and I felt very vulnerable.
The cosmic fun continued with both Pluto and
Uranus on July 7, 2016. My tweets
reflected the energy of the day:
“Power struggles with authority figures are possible today with
both Mercury and Sun in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn,”
“Venus in Cancer squaring Uranus in Aries today can make us edgy and
anxious in relationships and in general. Angst prevails.”
The actions of Pluto and Uranus seem to be
triggering a lot of the angst and turmoil from the famous (or should I say infamous)
Uranus Pluto squares that predominated the astrological climate of
2012-2015. Uranus is definitely making
us edgy but at least Mercury and Venus will be departing the sign of Cancer
soon. Mercury enters Leo on July 13th
and Venus follows suit on July 14th.
Mercury in Leo will add humor and charm to our mode of communication and
Venus will be in a very generous, fun-loving mode in Leo. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the
tension we have been experiencing and give us a temporary reprieve and
breathing space before Uranus in Aries clashes with the Sun in Cancer with a
square aspect on July 16th. Look to where 24 degrees of Cancer, Aries,
Capricorn or Libra fall in your chart to see how it will impact you. Or let me do the work for you by having an
astrological reading.
We do have a saving grace protecting us and
guiding us in the form of the north node in Virgo conjunct Jupiter in Virgo. We just have to keep the faith that whatever
turmoil we experience is leading us into the place that our soul needs to be. The
north node in Virgo has an underlying theme of service to others. In that spirit of pursuing my path as a
healer, I am channeling that north node and Jupiter in Virgo energy by offering
my Reiki services. If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a
Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress,
revitalize and remove blockages to healing.
It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off and can also be described
as a spa for the soul to boot! Reiki is
the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on
CALMING your body.

For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule
for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing
distance Reiki sessions for them. I have
a conversation with them 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. Additionally, I see clients
at my home in Newton, Massachusetts and am generally available on weekends and
evenings for your convenience.

If you are seeking more spiritual insight into your life, please
consider getting an astrological reading. An astrological reading can provide
valuable insight and tools. If you are
not quite ready for a full blown natal interpretation or a solar return
forecast, I also offer one question astrological readings and composite couple
readings that offer insight into the purpose of a relationship. And I offer
shorter transit readings for three and six months which might help you navigate
the summer months a little easier. If you purchase a six month transit reading,
I will even look at how September’s eclipses affect you! You can learn more
