As you know, I welcome questions from readers. This week’s query is:
“What is my take on the back to back new Moons in Cancer and the upcoming solar eclipse?”
June’s New Moon (Lunation) was at Cancer 1 degree 30 minutes on June 22. On July 22, the New Moon falls at Cancer 29.27. This New Moon is conjunct and parallel the Sun. thus creating a solar eclipse.
Solar eclipses occur twice a year. They affect the Earth’s electromagnetic (near cosmic) field. During total eclipses, birds fly about excitedly, night creatures come out of their dens, predators howl, roosters crow, diurnal animals go to sleep, flowers close their blossoms.
Eclipses mark emphasis and crisis—in world astrology and personal horoscopes. The most important factor in personal delineations is in which of the twelve houses the eclipse falls. The eclipse emphasizes matters ruled by that house, and tends to bring them to a crisis stage.
What house(s) in your chart contain Cancer 1.30 and Cancer 29.27? Crisis does not necessarily mean bad. Crisis means simply that you will be required by events in your life to devote more time, attention and energy to some matter(s) than usual.
The January 2009 solar eclipse was at Aquarius 6.38. A meditation for that eclipse is: ‘The emergence of a new type of human being according to the great rhythms of the cosmos.’
The impulse of the January eclipse offered each of us the opportunity to become new. We can evolve, transform. We can be fresh projections of the creative spirit, free from patterns of local culture or racial tradition.
Rolling that information into the current Jupiter-Neptune retrograde transit, stressful events occurring now are showing us what, where, and how we need to change our personal natures to become transformed Spirits, in alignment with the Planetary Whole. What an opportunity! Not to be feared, but celebrated.
Now, wisdom cycles a new Solar eclipse in the final degree of Cancer. A meditation for this eclipse is: ‘Choosing a path that embodies and glorifies a new structure that is built on the struggles of the past.”
What have you been struggling with? What encounters have taxed your composure? Stressed your wallet? Threatened your security? What bombs have you lobbed—ostensibly in self-defense?
Think on this. Starting his week, and lasting until the next solar eclipse in early 2010, is the cosmic time to set up a new system of personal rules, to codify things in a fresh, new way. Be reborn.
Look to the houses that are hosting the eclipses, and Aquarius 23 to 26 degrees. Refer back to my description of matters governed by the houses.
Everyone is responding to the planetary energy. To what degree of consciousness is up to you.
