The upcoming Cancer New Moon July 2nd is a Total Solar Eclipse. Eclipses are significant in Astrology. They’re like powerful portals of energy that propel life forward by shifting your trajectory and altering your path. This can seem like a single incident, happenstance or perhaps a series of events that seem to put you right where you need to be. This Eclipse is very close to the future oriented North Node suggesting that you’re about to land in a place that feels right at home.
“I’m on my way. I’m on my way. Home sweet home”
The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse degree is, “a clown making grimaces” implying that masks are dropping as you express your emotions.
Cancer is the sign of home, family, feelings, moods and emotions and a solar eclipse is a powerful New Moon that sets the tone for the year ahead. There could be new developments within these areas, perhaps starting new traditions and making new memories.
Across the sky, Saturn sits sternly, sharing the same degree with the South Node in Capricorn—representing what has once been the standard, the establishment, the old guard. Fears, doubts and uncertainties could have you clinging to status quo. Now it’s time to learn what’s proved to be a reliable model or framework and to let go of what’s limiting and restrictive so that you can foster what feels right.
The pressure builds through July 9th. A situation may call for striking a balance in caring for and looking after others while setting some boundaries and rules. Perhaps obligations or scheduling crunches are weighing on you. There could be a culmination to goals set in the beginning of the year, especially those dealing with property, land, building or structuring business.
Mars enters Leo for the first time in nearly two years, firing up your feelings, sparking your spontaneity and encouraging your enthusiasm. You may be pushing your luck, taking chances and operating from deep within your heart of hearts.
Mars and Mercury move closer to another meetup; this time in Leo, as Mercury pauses before backtracking for the rest of the month while extending the effects of their encounter. You may want to act on creative plans, perhaps those that were put on the back burner for whatever reason. During this period, you could revisit old favorites and pastimes. It’s possible you reconnect with childhood friends, long forgotten passions and even former flames. You want involvement and participation, to play with ideas, to entertain or be entertained and to do things that make you feel vibrant and alive. It’s as if something’s awakening your heart and mind as you’re feeling pleased with your mental musings. Alternatively, you could have heated conversations and strong words that may be full of hot air, bragging or self-importance. Additionally, you could be enjoying time with children or children’s activities, playmates, teaching and learning may also play a role now.
Venus enters Cancer just one day after the Eclipse and you may enjoy being with your closest loved ones, entertaining at home, or even spending money on decorating and design, making your home more comfortable and beautiful. Real estate prices and home values may be important now.
Jupiter in Sagittarius, Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces all connect with the Nodal axis, shaping the future for generations to come. This influence suggests altering beliefs and widening your views as there is no room for limitation based on your fears and doubts, there is more opportunity and possibility than you can imagine.
