These eclipses are reminders of what Impermanence means. You “know” in your head that everything changes second by second but the sudden disappearance of the Light, the occulting, the overshadowing, the re-booting of what used to be your life, brings it home and make it starkly real. People leave, jobs end, passions fade, dreams disappear. Watch for sudden sideways elevators tilting your daily reality so that you suddenly slip and slide into radically new physical, emotional and soulful territory.
On Tuesday July 2nd, the first Total Solar eclipse since the August 2017 Great American eclipse severs your past from your future migrating you across time-lines and seeding your new potential. On the geophysical front, the solar eclipse shock window is active between June 25-July 9. With Mercury stationing in Trickster mode all week to turn Retrograde on July 7th, there will be more than the usual eclipse level of storms and seismic activity.
This is a New Moon eclipse, heralding new beginnings and new opportunities whilst closing down one whole chapter of your life that 18 years ago. For the first time since April 2000 – October 2001, whichever aspect of your life is symbolised by Cancer/ Capricorn is going to experience 6 wild card eclipses during 2019/20. The nature of the collective karmic chickens coming home to roost is shifting dramatically. For much more, sign up to my July 5D Report: ”Karmic Eclipses-No Going Back”
The Chandra Symbol for Solar Eclipse 10 Cancer:
A violent hail storm
“Great disruption serves long-term continuity. By submitting yourself periodically to soul ordeals, to tests and trials, you make sure that your destiny is self-renewing. The path indicated is neither chaotic nor random. It is sharply pointed to take on experiences and lessons that are needed and to fully transmute the karmic sequences. You have a core commitment to tackling the hard stuff with an intent that is just enough to make the whole thing work, revealing that you can do the impossible if your will is focused and your inner strength to go the distance is as solid and real as any obstacle, and even more so.” From Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale
The Sun/Moon oppose the South Node of Fate and Saturn in Capricorn and square Chiron in Aries. Issues of belonging/separation will come up for healing. If so, look to new sources of connection and emotional support. Let go of your old stories. No more poor-me Woundology. Look out for the welfare of your tribe /family.
Since the Solar eclipse occults Cancer, the theme of sanctuary -creating sanctuary for yourself, in yourself, for others and with others literally and emotionally- is going to be lifesaving and one of the most important future proofing things you can do in the 6 months to the brutal Saturn/Pluto Conjunction in January 2020. Sanctuary of all kinds is absolutely vital now, when the polar opposite of sanctuary is being acted out in the larger community through scapegoating, exiling, refusing refugees, projections born out of fear. The shaming heart rending image of a young father and bay daughter drowned trying to cross to America epitomises this collective shadow.
Instead of being caught up in the drama of eclipses and solar flares, ground your expanding energy field and embodiment. Create reliable daily foundations to transition you to the new experience.
Aries Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
Tuesday’s New Moon eclipse in Cancer is a double reminder that right now you need rest, recovery and retreat before anything else. Cancer lights your 4th House -the very roots of your existence symbolising home, family and belonging- heralding new beginnings and new opportunities whilst closing down one whole chapter of your life that 18 years ago in 200-2001. As an Aries since the eclipse is at odds with Task Master Saturn in your career angle, think about how you can re-balance your daily life so that work no longer dominates. Eclipses change your options in a blink of an eye by re-arranging circumstances around you out of your control. Get a head start by brainstorming creative ideas for radically different ways of living and working.
Pressing the re-set button.
Taurus Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
Happily, Tuesday’s potent New Moon eclipse takes place in Cancer, a sign highly compatible with yours. With Mercury slowing to turn retrograde in this seismically active window, this eclipse will shake up your mental circuitry, your beliefs and your world view. Events outside your control will show you it’s time to expand beyond the familiar four walls of your mind, to open to radically different possibilities. Your old ways of thinking aren’t getting you where you need to be-they are keeping you small. You are ripe for new information, new ways of connecting and communicating and, more than anything else, for daring to be yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks. That means being honest with yourself and with others, removing those masks and blinkers.
Shake up your routines. Meet new people. Take a class. Teach. Write.
Gemini Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
Not only is this a week of a seismic New Moon eclipse but your personal planet Mercury slows to turn retrograde next Sunday on your angle of connection and communication. This is definitely Trickster territory. On Tuesday July 2 the eclipse closes down an 18 year chapter of your life connected to your axis of finances and personal security. With Saturn demanding reality checks, insecurity nudges you to examine the deeper questions about being an immaterial being in a material world. This eclipse cycle rifles through the taboo topics of your life: money, attitude toward possessions, sexuality, your intimate relations. Take an inventory of all your resources-time, experience, possessions, skills and talents-that can support you. Then ask yourself how you could combine them in fresh ways to attract income.
Are you underestimating what you have to offer?
Cancer Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
I can’t overstate the potential of this week’s, this month’s and this year’s astrology for you, Cancer. Not since 2000-2001 have you experienced a New Moon eclipse in your own sign and it’s worth pressing the pause button to contemplate what has changed for you and how far you’ve evolved in these last 18 years.2009 was the hallway point-a sort of course correction- so look for threads of meaning giving you clues about what opportunities July’s karmic eclipses are offering you. The first is to decide to always choose the new and radically different over the tried and tested -eclipses open doors where none existed before, so venture through them. The second is to turn that enormous grit and resilience you’ve developed under recent difficult transits into something relevant and applicable to add value to others. There is something at the edges of your inner vision, pulling you on, compelling you to pay attention to the many cries of your true self to embody and live what you’ve learnt, unapologetically and proudly.
Stop the striving and follow your path of least resistance-that’s your Yellow Brick Road
Leo Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
Mercury-the connector and your inner wi fi – is now in Leo, changing your perception and neural pathways, opening you to dare to share from your heart and to engage collaboratively. This creates a virtuous feedback cycle that makes you feel as if you matter and as if you belong. There’s more. Mercury turns backwards at the end of a week which delivers a truly seismic New Moon eclipse to the deepest part of your chart-your engine room where unconscious factors are at play, just out of your awareness. The more you slow down, the more you deliberately create breathing space and sanctuary, the more you will notice about the new direction your life is taking. Write down your night time dreams- a record of your astral life gives as much if not more data than when ”awake”. If you want to map your inner/outer evolution, this is precious and invaluable information from the noosphere.
Coming to meet you is a calling deeper than your current job, career or role.
Virgo Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
When a Solar eclipse activates your axis of creative self-expression and life dreams ,it’s definitely time to pay close attention, to use your sensory acuity, intuition and inner guidance The last time you were given such a huge nudge from the universe was 18 years ago back in 2000-2001.You may download a personal dream or vision that happens to fit a collective current. Or find yourself putting yourself out there to be seen. This is no time to be a lone ranger. Come in from the cold. Your networks of friends, alliances and groups are echo chambers and sounding boards as well as your best supporters and sponsors. If it feels as if you are taking a risk to share, to exchange and be vulnerable, then you’re on the right track.
A creative birth.
Libra Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
This is one of those rare times when a veil lifts and you catch a tantalising glimpse of your true Self and your potential for a life that is bigger and more meaningful. Tuesday’s potent New Moon eclipse shines a light-then presses the reset button- on to your zone of calling, purpose, job and career. These are not at all one and the same thing. You are much more than your current job title, more than your income, more than your linear goals and deep down, you know it. Getting bored with yourself is a big clue. You need to marry your soul essence with the purposeful path that is summoning you. July’s karmic eclipses will change circumstances around you causing a domino effect. People leave, new people arrive. Doors open, doors close. The dust won’t settle until January 2020, so be responsive, not reactive and trust your heart over your head.
Being paid for being yourself.
Scorpio Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
The last few weeks have probably tested you to your limits as both your rulers-Mars and Pluto-have created conflict, arguments and no- win situations. Take a moment to think about on what needs mending- probably a bridge or a fence with someone you care about -then make amends. This is not about who’s right or wrong but about whether you want to be happy. Do this now, ahead of Tuesday’s seismic New Moon eclipse in fellow emotional water sign Cancer which is about to open your High Heart to a whole new level of connection. Events and situations will re-arrange themselves around you so that have no choice but to respond differently. By which I mean more empathically and with greater rapport.
Deliberately move out of projecting to perceiving.
Sagittarius Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
A heads up! Emotions- yours and everyone else’s -will be running extra high this week right through to July 18th.On Tuesday a seismic New Moon Eclipse activates your 8th House of shared assets, money and partnership, suddenly changing circumstances around you with unexpected knock-on effects. Meanwhile, Jupiter in your own sign is at odds with slippery Neptune, clouding your judgment where close partners are concerned. To round it off, Mercury is in full on Trickster mode all week before turning backwards on Sunday. Be patient and wait for the dust to settle. Take a long cool- headed look at all your agreements and contracts both personally and at work and notice where the dynamics are not working in your favour. Then restore the balance or call it a day.
Moments of insight and clarity.
Capricorn Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
Any week that brings a New Moon eclipse in your relationship zone means it’s time to sit up and pay attention or, put another way, to wake up and smell the coffee. This is setting the stage for a lunar eclipse on Pluto in your own sign on July 16th and the curtain is rising. For you as a Capricorn, the key to working with these cosmic wild cards is to remind yourself that you out of all the signs are in a long process of reinvention. Saturn and Pluto are pruning away the old growth ready for new green shoots of growth next January. Stay centred on You. Make your own highest interests an absolute priority. Let no one sway your best judgment. Trust that whoever and whatever is disappearing from your life is part of a deleted past. This transitional weirdness of not all there and not all here yet either is uncomfortable because your mind wants certainty.
Despite appearances to the contrary, this is the magic carpet ride of your life.
Aquarius Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
On Tuesday, the first of two karmic eclipses in July reminds you of the importance of making your well being your top priority. As circumstances re-arrange themselves outside your control with consequent knock-on effects, update your exercise regime, what you eat, your patterns of rest and activity to build a solid foundation for a healthier simpler life. With Mars psyching up your relationships, watch that anxiety doesn’t turn outwards into aggression in the heat of the moment or turn inward to manifest as stress. The key is to find ways to channel this enormous energy surge into creativity and physical movement. Think like an Akido Master, be responsive to what arises but not reactive. That way you flow with life instead of resisting whatever it brings.
Develop your own unbreakable security and solid inner ground of being.
Pisces Weekly Forecast: June 30-July 7, 2019
On Tuesday, a New Moon eclipse in compatible Water sign Cancer opens doors you never knew were there. The last time an eclipse lit up this angle of your chart was in 2000-2001-a whole 18 years ago. See if you can find the thread that connects then to now. By the time of July’s second eclipse on July 16th, situations will have re-arranged themselves all around you with knock on effects in your own life. People may leave and others arrive. A role might end and another materialise. With gift bringer Jupiter supporting you in your career zone, it’s time to take a chance on yourself, to trust that when you choose the path less travelled, when you unleash your creativity and offer your most cutting edge thoughts and ideas, life will move in your direction.
Take the first step in faith.
