There was a big shift in communications and actions this
week when Mercury entered the sign of Gemini on May 12th and Mars
entered Pisces on May 13th. I
observed these planetary actions by tweeting:
Communications get a boost today when Mercury enters the mutable air sign of Gemini where it is extremely comfortable. We will feel more curious and sociable. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 11, 2020
Mercury is very comfortable in Gemini because it is one of the two signs it rules; Virgo is the other sign that Mercury rules. Mars is not so comfortable in Pisces, however, so we can expect a certain amount of passive aggressiveness because Mars in Pisces is averse to confrontation. And with Mercury entering Gemini and joining Venus in Gemini, which stationed retrograde on May 13th, it is setting the stage for the sun to join the Gemini party on May 20, 2020.Mars enters Pisces today as our aggressive energy is somewhat dampened. Mars in Pisces is best utilized for creative or spiritual endeavors as it dislikes confrontation. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) May 13, 2020
But before the sun departs the fixed earth sign of Taurus,
it makes two very stellar aspects in the form of trines to Pluto and Jupiter in
Capricorn. The trine to Pluto occurs on
May 15, 2020 in 24 degrees of Taurus and Capricorn. It holds the promise for
deep and intense experiences. Does any aspect to Pluto, even a flowing trine,
roll any other way? The trine does offer the potential for powerful and
positive transformations while affording us the opportunity to draw on
resources we may have forgotten that we possess. It also gives us the perseverance and courage
to take control of our lives. It is
definitely an aspect that we should utilize to the max in these uncertain
times. We may not have control of the
way our life is in the age of Coronavirus, but we do have control over the
attitude we take towards it in terms of implementing major changes in our
lives. No one will remain unscathed from
this pandemic, so we might as well accept this reality and figure out the most
productive way of transforming our lives.
On May 17, 2020 the sun in 27 degrees of Taurus trines
Jupiter in 27 of Capricorn. This trine
has a much lighter vibe and is accompanied by high spirits, enthusiasm,
optimism and self-confidence. Financial
gains are also possible with this aspect.
Spiritual development is also a potential manifestation of this
aspect. This aspect will transit a real
feel good vibe, so enjoy it. Just don’t get
too caught up in the Jupiterian shadow side of indulging too much or believing
something that it is too good to be true.
On May 20, 2020, the sun enters the mutable air sign of
Gemini. This will be a radical change
from the sun in Taurus. We are also
ensconced in a mutable feast of planets, with the sun accompanying Venus and
Mercury in Gemini as well as Mars and Neptune in Pisces, which is another
mutable sign. And we have a new moon in Gemini coming up on May 22, 2020. More on that next week. The bottom line with all of this mutable
energy is that it is very chameleon like, versatile, adaptable, but it can lack
the focus of a fixed sign like Taurus.
When the sun is transiting the sign of Gemini, we are
motivated by knowledge and diversity as we seek a finger in every pot, so to
speak. We are definitely going to feel more
sociable and intellectual. Gemini is a
non-conformist sign which craves information and the opportunity to explore
choices. This should be an interesting
transit of the sun in Gemini while many of us are still in isolation and social
distancing has become the new norm. I
wouldn’t be surprised if new ways of interacting through the Internet surfaced
during this transit of the sun in Gemini.
Zoom has already become a major part of life for many people since the
pandemic struck in March. Has it only been
two months? For many of us, the days
pre-March 11, 2020 seems like a lifetime ago.
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.

I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new 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.

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 in order to practice social distancing. 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 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 $30. For your convenience, I accept PayPal and Venmo as forms of
payment. I have also written an article
about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:

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! Stay
safe and healthy, everyone!
