On Sunday June 21, 2020 we’ll experience the effects of a mega annular solar eclipse in the sign of Cancer. This will be the 2nd eclipse of 3 this summer. The eclipse will be visible from parts of Africa, including Central African Republic, Congo and Ethiopia. The southern parts of Pakistan, northern India and China also will be able to see the eclipse. This happens when the moon is furthest from Earth. Since the moon is further away from the earth, it seems smaller and does not block the entire view of the sun. Instead, the moon in front of the sun looks like a dark disk on top of a larger disk and appears like a ring of fire. The eclipse will begin at 9:15 a.m. IST (Indian Standard Time) and will end at 3:04 p.m. The maximum eclipse will be visible at 12:10 p.m. The eclipse will begin EDT on June 20 at 11:45 p.m. and is at its maximum on June 21st at 2:10 a.m. It ends at 5:45 a.m. and is not visible in EDT. It occurs at 0 degrees and 21 minutes in Cancer right beside the north node in Gemini at 29 degrees. This is a very powerful eclipse as it occurs just after the summer solstice.

We still have a strong emphasis of retrograde planets. Venus is still retrograde until June 25th as well as Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. On June 18th Mercury goes retrograde at 14 degrees of Cancer. This will have us thinking about home events, family matters, emotional security and those kinds of themes as we start to talk about the eclipse. This background of retrograde planets is very strong and some of the outer planets don’t go direct until later in the year in Sept., Oct. and Nov. So this is an opportunity for incubation. We are always more introspective when planets go retrograde as we’re integrating the wisdom from the experiences we’ve had and also in a physical sense we’ve turned inward due to the stay at home orders across the world. This is also a very valuable introspection for us spiritually because through this process we are actually using this time to create a whole new world for ourselves that will start to become more concrete and move forward at the end of the year and into 2021. Whatever we’re doing now individually and collectively in our thinking and in our emotions we are creating the broadcast and the vibration for a new world as we come out of the stay at home orders and any other orders that will happen this year. This is an important time that we shouldn’t waste. Many people have been using it in this way and working hard on meditation and their spiritual practice, but for those who haven’t up until now you may be experiencing alot of frustration and/or depression. So this is an opportunity that does not normally come our way because of the extraordinary circumstances that we find ourselves. If you can see this in this light, this is a time of alchemy.

On the 20th of June at 5:46 p.m. EDT the sun moves into Cancer and in the northern hemisphere this is the summer solstice. This is a powerful day because the magnetic field of Earth drops at this time and ancient people somehow knew this and this is why ceremonies were held. They were aware and sensed they could get high levels of information easier at these times. These were very powerful days. Within a few hours of the solstice we have the solar eclipse at 0 degrees and 21 minutes of Cancer and this is one of the strongest eclipses we’re going to have this year. It’s very powerful and it’s an annular eclipse and annular means ring. So, because the moon is very far away from the Earth, the disk of the moon doesn’t fully cover the sun so the rays of the sun start to appear around the outside of the moon’s disk and it looks like a ring of fire. It’s very powerful because it is within a few hours from the solstice and the closer we are to a solstice with an eclipse, the stronger it will be. Secondly, it is 1 degree away from the transiting nodal axis.The closer the nodal axis, or north node and south node of the moon, the more powerful the eclipse. Thirdly, it’s on the world axis. The world axis is 0 degrees of the cardinal signs. That would be 0 degrees Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. This is also square the super galactic center which is Libra and this is another form of the great attractor. A great attractor is this massive vortex of electromagnetic energy. The super galactic center is also creator energy. So, this can act as a creator for new things for ourselves and the world. In addition to that another reason it’s powerful is it’s at the midpoint of the Saturn, Pluto conjunction from the beginning of the year that occurred on the 12th of January and the Jupiter, Saturn conjunction that’s going to be happening in December in Aquarius. So, this is a very important pivot midpoint because the Saturn, Pluto conjunction sets up the tone for the whole year. As I’ve written and spoken about this many times, this is about our containment, control, power and abuse of power. Whichever sign Pluto is moving through, it deconstructs what that sign is about. It’s deconstructing Capricorn and this is the power structure in society, government social structures, big corporations and other organizations. We can see that happening in the world as governments aren’t functioning very well right now. So, this deconstruction has to happen.

We’re in this powerful incubation period of creation and then as we move right to the end of the year, we’re moving into something different.This Jupiter, Saturn conjunction in December is a 20 year cycle and Astrologers see this as almost generational. This has to do with the new world view that begins every 20 years. For the last 600 years, except for a short time in Libra this hasn’t happened in air signs for 600 years. It’s in Aquarius, which is an air sign. This is the beginning of a 20 year cycle but actually the beginning of a 200 year cycle because the conjunction isn’t going to repeat in air signs for another 200 years. It’s a very important new beginning. We’ve got the collapse of the old and the beginning of a new world. We’re creating new at this point.

Eclipses are like wildcards. They are very powerful because individually they push us forward on our soul’s path of growth. It’s a time for very big events in the world especially because it’s on the world’s axis and something is likely to happen on the public stage. The last time we had a solar eclipse at this degree was in June of 2001. This was the last eclipse before 9/11, and we also had a hard Saturn, Pluto opposition at that time. This doesn’t mean to say that this kind of thing will happen again. Astrology provides us with a pattern, and it is our level of consciousness individually and collectively that determines the manifestation. If we are filled with anger, hate and fear we will have a very dramatic manifestation. If we are filled with love and compassion this will give us a very different manifestation. It’s a mirror of our frequency that we’re putting out. This is where our work is at this time.

Now if you have any planets between 25 degrees of the mutable signs, and that’s Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces or 5 degrees of the cardinal signs which are Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, you are going to be feeling this personally. Eclipses are always intense, and with this one, we may feel that we’re being squeezed through the eye of a needle. But this is potentially a big new beginning for us all. Look at where 0 degrees of Cancer falls in your birth chart, as this is like a super, big new moon and sets a new intention for yourself in the area of your life that this eclipse is occur. If you need help with identifying this, I’m available for personal Readings, or please inquire about my new, refined Language of Astrology Classes through which you will learn how to identify the area of your life where events like this will influence you in the future. I plan to make these classes available via recording on my website very soon. It’s very important to see what this means for you so you can set a new intention in this area of your life. Also don’t forget to set a new intention for the world, as it’s very important.

The sign of Cancer has to do with the home, family matters, emotional security, your roots. It can bring a sense of nationhood and mean the country can also our home. It is very sensitive and has to do with nurturing. It can bring feelings that you need nurturing and also knowing what other people feel and need to feel nurtured. Cancer has great empathy, sensitivity and compassion for others, and will be very strong at this time. Compassion is a very high vibration so we’re going to be feeling that for other people. This is also potentially due to the sensitivity and can be an over reactive solar eclipse. With the lunar eclipse we had on the 5th of June we had Mars exactly squaring the sun and moon. We still have Mars squaring the sun and moon. It is an out of sign square because Mars is at 25 degrees of Pisces, and the sun and moon are at 0 degrees of Cancer. Really, Mars would need to be in Aries to make it a tighter square, but it’s still operating. This can trigger us to react, due to the sensitivity of Cancer. We’re seeing so much of this, not only in the world but also in social media. A word is misinterpreted and someone reacts with anger. This doesn’t help any of us, because our task right now is to join together as we’re moving toward Aquarius energy, and this is the power of the people. This is collaboration and operating with one mind and it’s also operating with one heart. One of the important themes in Aquarius is equality. We’re all equal. It doesn’t matter what color, race or nationality. We are equal humans and it is that sense that everyone is a divine spark in this collaboration for the new world for us. Be careful and try to not react when you are triggered.

Mars is conjunct Neptune at this solar eclipse and this is excellent for any spiritual action whether it’s volunteering or just being active in spiritual ways, like yoga, chi gong or meditation to keep your energy high. Neptune is very strong at this time because it’s at 20 degrees of Pisces and is about to go retrograde on June 23rd. Neptune at it’s highest level is about idealism and dreams. Your dreams may become more active and louder. Tune into your dreams and tune into your meditations in a more connected way. This is also about compassion and unconditional love. There’s a very fine connection here with people and you can sense how they’re feeling. There’s a spiritual connectedness that’s very evident. Neptune at a lower level can be deception and can reveal what’s true and what’s not. It can be scandals, leaks, feelings of being overwhelmed or confusion with all that’s going on. The more we can use it at the highest level of expression, the less energy it has to manifest at the lower vibrational level. One of the many great things about Astrology is that it gives you the map. In understanding the energy, you can change things and say “oh that’s my strong Neptune happening”. Then you can choose to live it at the higher level and you can consciously choose that to operate more fully in your life.

What’s very interesting is this deconstruction with Pluto and Jupiter together. It’s like a tree falling in the woods. It has to rot before a new tree can form. It’s the chaos theory. In physics, chaos occurs in liquid or gas. The molecules become very disorderly and stay in this chaotic, disorderly state until they finally form a new pattern, and then a new connection forms. So, we’re moving from chaos and disorder into connectivity. This is a theory in physics that’s interesting to read about. Pluto represents chaos. It will be better to be detached from externals. Keep your focus and your center. That’s where it’s best to go to find truth. Jupiter conjunct Pluto increases the power and control of big governments and hidden governments. This can be creating a change in your beliefs. Also, in a very positive sense, Jupiter can give us great resourcefulness. It’s about creating a whole new, big picture for ourselves. This big, new beginning comes with the solar eclipse and also for the world. Don’t forget your social responsibility for creating.

In my research I discovered that this solar eclipse falls at exactly 0 degrees Cancer which is exactly on the Mars of India and Pakistan and Mars is their assertion. This eclipse also is on the Mars of the Chinese leader. We should pay close attention to these things. The path of the eclipse will show which countries will be likely to manifest big changes from the eclipse in the coming months. It goes over Africa, Saudi Arabia, much of Asia, China, Hong Kong, India and Pakistan. The changes may not manifest right now, but possibly in the next 6 months.

The last few days of June will be very dynamic. On the 26th and 27th Mars squares the north node and the south node of the moon. These could be days of action in the world. On the 28th and 29th it enters the warrior sign of Aries. It will be on the world axis and reaspecting the solar eclipse degree of 0 degrees of Cancer. Mars will stay in the warrior sign of Aries for 6 months until January. Normally it stays in a sign for 6 weeks. Because it will be retrograde on September 9th, when it’s closer to the Earth, it will spend more time in Aries. Therefore, it will not only be squaring the current positions of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto, but also the January positions of this big bunch of planets we had in Capricorn. This is also activating the chart of America. I’ll be looking at that closer in my July article. As todays article has been quite lengthy.

This eclipse gives us an opportunity to look inward. I really hope this article helps you.
