New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer | June 20th -21st, 2020 - where do we belong, where is home now, social restlessness, beginnings and endings, starting something that will last if we can get through the problematic beginning

On June 21, 2020 at 2:41AM EDT - the Cancer Moon meets the Cancer Sun at 0 degrees giving us this month's New Moon, happening so close to the Moon's Nodes and on an Aries point gives us a collectively focused Annular Solar Eclipse. Happening on the Summer (or Winter for those down under) Solstice gives us an even more powerful new beginning!

So we've got a beginning, an end and a beginning again all at one time. 

Maybe the question, first asked by some smart chicken somewhere probably not in any hurry to cross the road - can we peck our way out of our crumbling structure or is someone going to have to crack us on the griddle? 

If we need to stop doing what we have been doing, then let's go ahead and stop. If we need to begin something new, here is a space for a fresh start. Trust it and by "it" I mean yourself. 

We can't just call this a New Moon because it may as well be a new world. Keep in mind in Cancer what begins might begin very personally/in secret/in private/within the family/within our shell.

But it's surely the start of something and also the ending.

The Moon/Sun are again aspecting asteroid Hygie (our health practices/hygiene - our focus still here) and we have an exact inconjunct to a retrograde Saturn who has just backed into 0 degrees Aquarius on his return visit to Capricorn. Cancer's ruler is the Moon, so this is HER lunation. Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, answering to the Moon and Venus is retrograde in Gemini answering to Mercury who's answering to the Moon.

Have I said this is going to be emotional? This is going to be emotional.

Cancer New Moons - and this one is powered up by its position at 0 degrees, the Solar Eclipse AND the Solstice - are about collective Cancer themes

(so, this theme is applicable to all of us both individually and collectively and then the theme of our personal natal Cancer house will come into play, too - see the themes by sign below).

So, what are we being asked to begin?

Cancer rules home, family, our roots, mother, mothering, our ancestry, real estate, country, patriotism, home business, family business, our need for safety and security, our moods and emotions, the root of the matter, what is home, where do we belong, who are our family

and because Cancer opposes Capricorn where we do what we have to do and push ourselves through no matter what, it also rules the care we take of our physical body (so make it a rule now to take as excellent care of yourself as you are able), the way we feed ourselves/nurture ourselves and others and the wee beginnings of things that we sometimes rush through on our way to the top of that mountain (or bottom of that pile of "things to do") - somewhere in here is where we get the new beginning (or two),  

and, because, remember a Solar Eclipse is the eclipsing of the Sun (our life-force) - the beginning can come through a powerful ending (if something/someone is leaving, it is already gone - keep this in mind). Sometimes a masculine energy/father figure leaves.

With a retrograde Saturn inconjunct (there is some old and frustrating incompatibility with this new start) the New Moon will have to have patience and make adjustments to rules and limits. Maybe maintain a stiff upper lip at times because unless we are an actual blubbering baby we probably don't want to behave as one.

Let's look at some potential themes by sign.

I was going to write a different kind of post, but fractured my foot jumping off a swing and THEN not wearing the boot at the moment I most needed it, fell down the stairs, hurting, what feels like it just might be, everything else. The good news, I don't notice the pain from the fractured foot anymore (textbook Mars/Pisces and my natal Mars is in Leo, so some fiery - sometimes rash - action on my part always setting off an injury when I do have one - ugh).

Anyhoo - let's look at this by sign for some potentials to think about.

Please remember "by sign" is kind of a guideline. We are all under the energetic of the Aries themes - because Aries rising, Aries in his natural 1st house - in a whole sign house system (which I don't use for personal charts, but I must use for these kind of mundane forecasts) is a collective theme.

Sometimes we find the theme of our Sun sign - regardless of house - at play and other times our Rising sign (sign on the cusp of our first house) theme fits better. Of course, just because you are a Taurus rising, doesn't always mean you have Cancer ruling your 3rd house, etc, so if you know the actual house check that first and you might have to feel your way through this.

Depending on your individual chart (if you have planets or points near 0 degrees of the cardinal signs this will be stronger for you) you may feel this Eclipse to a greater or lesser degree, but all of us get eclipsed.

The energy we carry for the collective - the energetic lineup when we drew our first breath - shifts.

We change and then we attract changing circumstances - and because there is no time and eclipses somehow work backwards, too - these changing circumstances can precede the actual eclipse!

ARIES/Aries Rising - (Cancer 4th house/Aquarius 11th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 4th house of home, family, your roots, mother, mothering, your ancestry, real estate or a home business, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 11th house of your friendships, groups, causes, the internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with other people, your advancement, technology, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

TAURUS/Taurus Rising (Cancer 3rd house/Aquarius 10th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 3rd house of communication, information, ideas, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, your achievement goals, dad, business, authority, responsibility, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

GEMINI/Gemini Rising (Cancer 2nd house/Aquarius 9th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

CANCER/Cancer Rising (Cancer 1st house/Aquarius 8th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 1st house of yourself, so a new chapter is kicking off for you. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 8th house of other people's resources, other people's values, intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, loans, debts, taxes, inheritance, sex, reproduction, the resources you share with other people, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

LEO/Leo Rising (Cancer 12th house, Aquarius 7th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, secrets, the ethereal realms, imagination, hospitals, spirituality, addiction, healing, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 7th house of your relationships so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

VIRGO/Virgo Rising (Cancer 11th house, Aquarius 6th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 11th house of your friendships, groups, causes, the internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with other people, your advancement, technology, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 6th house of your day-to-day activities, your routine, work, co-workers, pets and your health, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

LIBRA/Libra Rising (Cancer 10th house, Aquarius 5th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, your achievement goals, dad, business, authority, responsibility, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression, what you give birth to, children, romance and recreation, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

SCORPIO/Scorpio Rising (Cancer 9th house, Aquarius 4th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn from your 4th house of home, family, your roots, mother, mothering, your ancestry, real estate or a home business, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

SAGITTARIUS/Sag Rising (Cancer 8th house, Aquarius 3rd house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 8th house of other people's resources, other people's values, intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, loans, debts, taxes, death, inheritance, sex, reproduction, the resources you share with other people, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 3rd house of communication, information, ideas, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

CAPRICORN/Capricorn Rising (Cancer 7th house, Aquarius 2nd house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 7th house of partners and partnerships so something here is BEGINNING/new. Saturn is inconjunct from your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

AQUARIUS/Aquarius Rising (Cancer 6th house, Capricorn 12th house) daily activities, your routine, work, co-workers, pets and your health, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 1st house of yourself, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

PISCES/Pisces Rising (Cancer 5th house, Aquarius 12th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression, what you give birth to, children, romance and recreation, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, secrets, the ethereal realms, imagination, hospitals, spirituality, addiction, healing, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.

There is also a wide square to Mars, that we discount at our own peril because keep in mind Mars is uber uncomfortable in Pisces and rushing to get home to Aries (June 27th) for the REST OF THE YEAR. He is going to square this Eclipse point as he enters Aries and THAT might be when we see/feel the ramifications of THIS or when something gets moving.

So, factor that in to the above "by signs" - the action coming through your natal Aries house!

This Eclipse is hitting the United States Venus/Jupiter conjunction, so this might not be pretty for us (finances/expansion and ruling (through Venus) 6th house health/work, 10th house worldly reputation/career and (through Jupiter) the 1st house of the country itself/our spirit - but keep in mind Eclipses also work backward and we can see the virus forcing a focus on safety/home (also continue to keep your pantry stocked), financial and health challenges and the government restrictions that can be at the same time frustrating and also inadequate and with this stuff being emphasized at the Solstice this is going to continue to have a lasting impact. With Mercury nearby this also means we can't believe everything we read in the news/media - but we know this already. The square from Mars; the protests that seemed to come out of nowhere, but have been brewing for centuries - and are, yes, going to be more lasting and effective in provoking change/newness.

Big news and events coming next week.

There are multiple "war" aspects now, and we had a similar Eclipse the summer before 9/11 - but let's hope the "war" is the war on this virus and the protests war on police brutality and second class citizenship and not an actual "war" as it has historically been born out. Trump's natal Mercury (which squares his delusional, but also psychic Neptune) is in the line of fire here, so it's anyone's guess what he could say now. Hopefully he is taking care of his health/safety.

If you find yourself getting lost in all of this, keep in mind always our North Node in Gemini now - we talked about it HERE (Part I and Part II are both in this post).

Today's Astrology Forecast | August 9, 2019 - nourished by a sense of adventure, date night, an emotional gamble, reality check, transformed by what we hold sacred, shaping the energies of our quest

https://www.deviantart.com/la-child/art/Vaudeville-And-Burlesque-322750394


The Moon, in high-flying Sag, will hook up with a retrograde Jupiter at 7:24PM EDT

(mountains out of molehills, self-righteous feelings, feeling optimistic or maybe nourished by a Sag themes - travel, something or someone foreign, the media, our beliefs, religion, education), maybe it's time for an emotional (Moon) gamble (Jupiter),

and then trine loving and social Venus (in creative Leo) at 10:18PM EDT. The Moon is feeling good today!

Mercury is at the end of emotional Cancer - for the third time - some might be feeling the melancholy of this. The past. That home/family/real estate situation. Mothering regrets or regrets around mothering. The ball and chain we can't slip off ... just yet.

At the same time we have Venus inconjunct Saturn (rock and a hard place) and Pluto trining Vesta.

The Venus/Saturn requires us to make some kind of adjustment to what we want.

Saturn aka "the reality police" dulls our shine just a bit now. Retrograde, he is holding our feet to the fire via an old obligation/commitment/contract. Enforcing a limit/boundary/requirement. Delays.

Pluto/Vesta is an intense focus on what we hold sacred. In earthy Taurus, Vesta is bringing our attention to our resources, our money, our values or self-esteem. Pluto brings powerful change. Transformation (Pluto) of sacred cows (Vesta). Powerful (Pluto) commitments (Vesta). The brakes are off something now.

In a couple days Jupiter is going to station direct and Uranus is going to station retrograde and Mercury will be back in Leo. Something is turning around. Are we ready? probably not!

Leo is a proud and fixed sign, so we need to stay flexible. The Sun (Leo's ruler) is mirrored in our physical bodies through our heart and our solar plexis. Priority should be given to both now. Heart health - diet, exercise, opening our heart to love, compassion, empathy, moving out of our ego, being easier on ourselves and others - more loving. Our solar plexis (our gut) - diet, exercise, breath work, are we feeling empowered? can we trust our gut? or are we more often feeling bloated, "butterflies in our stomach" or "kicked in the gut" - maybe this area needs strengthening.

The midpoint of the Sun's journey through Leo (the sign he rules) is sometimes called the Lion's Gate. This annual portal opening - around 8/8 - is a time of increased consciousness about our soul mission/the ways and spaces we are intended to have confidence and courage and shine in this lifetime. Sirius (the dog star), a fixed star located at 14 degrees Cancer is associated with the Lion's Gate. The brightest star in our sky when visible, Sirius is 25 times brighter and double the size of our Sun. This is the time of year (the time of harvest/abundance - the "dog" days of August is a reference to more than the temperature) the ancient Egyptians could view Sirius rising above their pyramids and they believed there was a special maternal link between Sirius and life on Earth.

This year the North Node (our collective way forward) will conjunct Sirius from late August until late September for the first time in more than 18 years. This will support our North Node in Cancer agenda - clearing out expired maternal contracts/patterns, moving toward what feels like home/nurturing, a need to mother and be mothered, an increased ability to show vulnerability and not see this as a weakness, but instead as a crucial piece of our journey toward a more authentic state of person-hood.

We'll talk more about this as we move through it.

For today, it's Friday, the Moon is in optimistic (and sometimes preachy and bombastic) Sag and supported by Sag's ruler (Jupiter) and Venus - our two most beneficial planets. Find something to enjoy about today.

We are shaping the energies for the quest ahead of us.

Share something. Get outdoors. Embrace the magic.

Where could our life use a little more adventure?!

BIZ Astrology for Thursday August 14th - Who Says Only Men Are From MARS Anyway

17th and Oak / Rocky Balboa Typography

Our Moon is still in action Aries and we've got Mars, in Scorpio for the last couple weeks, sextiling (60 degrees apart) Pluto. This is another day where the energy is robust and favors action. BUT maybe think about Rocky Balboa's decisive punches and grounded feet with this one - we want to be strong, focused and precise now. 

Today we have our independent Aries Moon lining up with independent (and rebellious) Uranus.

Uranus is the planet of rebellion and revolution and is in Aries from March 2011 through May 2018 (all Aries rising signs, Aries Suns and Aries Moons will find themselves questioning authority and find it necessary to move through life without social approval at some point during these years - who cares what everyone else thinks, not an Aries these days) - no planet is more unpredictable.

We could get some unexpected news. We could pick a battle that really costs us. Of course, if we are grounded we could get a real breakthrough. There is an aspect between Jupiter and Neptune today that could affect our ability to see clearly (it could also expand our creativity makers and artists!), so although decisive action is still favored today - if we find ourselves rocking the boat too much we will get wet, maybe quite wet.

Neptune kind of weakens the barrier between consciousness and unconsciousness - between ego and soul he makes us more vulnerable to illusion, but also enlightenment. With Jupiter's expansive powers making him more powerful - he could bring us mystical visions and a more compassionate heart now or weaken us with delusions. Anyone feeling a need to firm up some resolve with a 12-step meeting today, find one.

Also Venus is parallal to one of the 8 Uranian planets (discovered by German astrologers during the early 20th century) called Admetos. Admetos has come to represent something that is un-moveable, steady as a rock or something that has run its course. This could bring an ending to something creative or some kind of obstacle within a partnership. If something we thought was going one way suddenly does a 180 on us, we will just think of our argonaut Admetos and know we are on our own quest to find the Golden Fleece after all. We are always safe and supported.

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO BE THINKING ABOUT - Who are our people - where is our tribe? People say we are a combination of the 5 people we spend the most time with. New people will be coming into our lives soon - probably very soon - maybe this has already started. Feeling grateful for the ways the universe supports us will draw more universal support to us. Never be afraid to ask for support. We can never ask for too much.
