Eclipse Season Is Here—This Is What It Means for Your Sign
July 2 will be a Solar Eclipse in Cancer and July 16 we can expect a Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn. However Eclipse Season is so powerful, you will see the impact of them in the months surrounding July. This pair of eclipses will set a brand new pattern for your year ahead and perhaps much longer.
What Is an Eclipse?
A Solar Eclipse is an extra strong version of a New Moon – like one whole years’ worth of New Moons all rolled into one. And a Lunar Eclipse is like all the years Full Moons into one. These both occur when the Earth, Sun, and Moon come into a rare direct alignment and this creates a portal of change. Through history, Eclipses have been known to be those ‘wildcard’ times of sudden endings and beginnings. Every 19 years, the same Eclipse family repeats itself, so remember the year 2000? You will now see a similar theme return, though this time you have some experience under your belt. If you are too young to remember, keep a journal this Eclipse Season so you can refer back to years later.
What to Expect.
It will feel like time warp. Something likely will be eclipsed out of your life and there will exciting opportunities to meet – a new beginning will emerge. Eclipses will sync you up to a life path that is more aligned with who you really are (even though all of this may seem super inconvenient at the time). Later you will look back and likely have gratitude for what went on. Truths will come up to the surface so that you can see more clearly and approach life with eyes wide open.
So What Do the Eclipse Signs Mean?
Each set of eclipses is part of a series and this one highlights the signs of Cancer and Capricorn – these Cancer/Capricorn eclipses began in July 2018 and will continue through July 2020. Even if you are not one of those signs, the eclipses will awaken the ‘Cancer’ and ‘Capricorn’ sectors in your birth chart (see below).
The Solar Eclipse in Cancer will point you in a direction of heart opening and more softness in your life this year as the North Node of destiny will be aligned with the Solar Eclipse. You will do well to create more time for friendships, love, family, and all that gives you a sense of emotional wellbeing as Cancer rules the emotional body. However you will also need to be ready to stand up for your position and face opposition as the Eclipse opposes stern Saturn. There will be a pull into an old work pattern or habit and you’ll need to value your own health and spirit - turning a new leaf.
The Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn will ask you to release certain roles and old work patterns that you have outgrown. They are simply not in alignment with who you are anymore. Saturn and Pluto align with the south node showing a release of the structures which have held you back in the past. This may be a process so trust that you are heading in a more sustainable direction.
Tips for Eclipse Season.
First off, get comfortable with the idea of change and change being a good thing. Something will be eclipsed out of your life to make room for a new beginning and you will need to allow this to happen. It’s best to go with the cosmic current and wait to see what comes in with the tide before you make any major decisions. Observe, listen and know that you will be supported when you’re on board with change. Of course this may not be comfortable or easy, so you will need to be brave. Give yourself lots of breathing room to process. Most importantly, surround yourself with high vibe people and trust the eclipses to do their cosmic magic.
