Cancer New Moon 1

Chart calculated for 6.42 pm,
Sunday, June 21, Sun Eclipse 6.40 pm

Let intuition and inner wisdom guide you Cancer. Peel away layers of relationship programming to reveal your core self and your leadership potential

Today's solar eclipse forecasts stressful events that cramp our style. Doors are opening and closing. A new era is being ushered in. If possible, postpone big decisions, consider alternatives, and surrender to soft focus. Neptune retrograde on the 23rd diffuses the borders of reality and fantasy. Research and check facts. Venus Direct on the 25th brings new info. Friends or family may offer useful advice. After the 28th, the impulse to rush ahead is strong, with Mars in headstrong Aries until early 2021. However, five retrograde planets recommend sorting through our mixed emotions and desires. The challenge now is to balance being at home in ourselves with taking action out in the world.

Further warning against charging relentlessly through all barriers comes on June 30 with the second meeting of Jupiter and Pluto. Be-aware of obsession and self-righteous fanaticism. In early July, wisdom goddess Pallas Athene helps with timing, while retrograde Mercury meeting the Sun could unleash a flood of feelings. Saturn backing into Capricorn urges listening to the wisdom of our elders. Sun conjunct Vesta provides emotional stability on the 5th, the day of the Capricorn Full Moon Eclipse. Be kind to your self and others on the 7th with Ceres retrograde in Pisces.

All year, Pluto has been in a challenging square with Eris. In 2020 this square is exact in January, June and December. Both these planets take longer than a human lifetime to orbit the Zodiac, so when the planet of transformation and rebirth makes a hard aspect with the planet willing to expose truth and injustice, they may reference long standing historical issues. The activist gathering in Aries square Capricorn represents a growing wish to heal deep personal, social and cultural wounds, especially those rooted in the idea that money is more important than people. Black Moon Lilith has been meeting Eris in Aries since March. From July 9, she begins a pattern of repeatedly meeting with Eris, Mars, and Chiron. In mid-July, Chiron retrogrades, Mercury goes Direct and Mars conjuncts Chiron. As Mars goes back and forth between Chiron and Eris, through to late October, Black Moon Lilith meets Mars eight times. A tide of anger may continue to rise as the drive, for a new, more radical and sustainable way of doing things, gains momentum.
