This time around, the Universe granted a rare bonus third Eclipse as they usually come in pairs. This concluded a series of eclipses in Cancer and Capricorn over the past couple of years closing out karmic clutter while providing space for figuring out feelings about fitting in and belonging, status and achievement, emotions and dependency, authority, measuring up and boundaries, rules and discipline, parenting and patterning passed along or developed early on, your goals and the discipline to attain them. It’s been a tall order! 

The previous Cancer New Moon June 5th was also a Solar Eclipse, in the earliest degree of the sign; now we have a second Cancer New Moon in the later degrees of the sign, setting off a whole new cycle involving your home, family, domesticity, land and property. Or on another level, there are fresh starts regarding your lifestyle, habits, practices and patterns. You may feel you’ve found your place and discovered your role.  

Although this lunation is a New Moon, it has a Full Moon feel- feeling a bit emotionally heavy and restrictive and “under the thumb” courtesy of Saturn retrograde directly across the sky in Capricorn. You may be met with responsibilities, obligations and restrictions. You could be called to account or to own your authority, maybe you face consequences causing a confrontation with your feelings of doubt, limitation and insecurity. Perhaps you encounter some aspect of yourself, recognizing emotional patterns. You may need to set rules, boundaries and timelines that you can live with; be realistic about who you are on an inner level. Perhaps you’re re-establishing your position, re-working your business or re-defining goals and aspirations more fitting with the lifestyle you’re creating.

Jupiter and Pluto are also across the sky in Capricorn and their powerful presence is felt at this lunation. These social shaping heavy hitters continue their collaboration and the messy process of dismantling and reconstructing systems and beliefs that you’ve established your life and reality around. Long standing stumbling blocks that seemed permanent, can be gotten rid of now, melting away any resistance.  

Synchronously, there’s progress as your wisdom develops out of experience and maturity, you’re able to come to an understanding of deeper meanings and truths, concerning the past, automatic responses and gut reactions, along with emotional blocks or dependency grown from overcoming disappointment or adversity, often as a means of protection and security. While recognizing and owning patterns and conditioning, you possess an insight and sensitive awareness that’s transforming your views and restoring your faith. All three of these planets are retrograde signaling that this current evolutionary adventure is an inside job for now.   

Mercury in Cancer has dealings with Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus suggesting that talking about your feelings or thinking of times gone by may be uncomfortable and may bring a few tears, even fond memories may make you emotional but it’s a necessary step in moving forward in your process of healing and becoming. 

New Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
