| July begins with a lunar eclipse in Capricorn. It begins on July 4th EDT at 11:07 p.m. It reaches its maximum on July 5th at 12:29 a.m. and ends at 1:52 a.m. Normally we have 6 eclipses in a year. However, between June and July we’re having three eclipses in five weeks. So, it is incredibly intense. It feels like we’re passing through the eye of a needle. The magnetic shield of the earth is dropping. When the magnetic shield drops, we’re able to access the more subtle realms and get information. Whatever we are focusing on tends to magnify around Eclipse time, so this is an incredibly rich and productive period to start to create our future. This lunar eclipse highlights emotions that have been building around responsibilities, careers, those in positions of authority and who are in control. This eclipse provides an opportunity to release emotional baggage. We are in the process of creating, because we’re experiencing alchemy right now. 2020 will be intense, all the way through. If we understand the purpose of it, then we can work with it. So, just know that whatever you’re thinking, whatever you’re focusing on, whatever your emotional frequency is, it will become magnified because you’re creating your future. A lunar eclipse is a completion of the full moon. It represents a completion of the moon cycle. It’s an ending in that sense. Look at your birth chart and see where 13 degrees of Capricorn falls in your chart and you will see what this closure, this culmination, this ending might be about for you. If you need help in identifying this, I am available for Readings. This is also a south node eclipse. With an eclipse, the moon has to either be close to the north node, or the south node. This is close to the south node. It’s a penumbral eclipse and so it isn’t a total eclipse. Because it’s the 3rd eclipse in 5 weeks, it feels like a completion. Any full moon brings a completion that shines light on something that we may not have been aware of before. It’s a completion in that sense. It is also the last eclipse that we’re going to have in Capricorn for 8 years until 2028. For the last 18 months, we’ve had the transiting nodal axis, moving through Cancer and Capricorn. The nodal axis moves through opposing pairs of signs and just recently shifted into Gemini and Sagittarius in May. This is the last eclipse in Capricorn and so it’s important to reflect on what the last 18 months theme has been about. Look at the houses where Cancer and Capricorn fall in your chart and this tells what this has mean’t for you. There could be angry words around the time of this eclipse as we’ve got Mars in Aries square to mercury in Cancer. The energy of Capricorn is very strong right now. We’ve got the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn. Saturn is at 29 degrees of Capricorn. 29 degrees is the last degree of Capricorn. It’s known as a critical degrees, as it’s the last degree of this sign and it tends to bring out the more shadow side of that sign. So, what is Capricorn about. It’s about power and control, rules and regulations and the dictator who says “do as I say”. It’s the authorities and the police and that kind of thing. So, there’s a strong sense of all of those themes of endings. This is particularly powerful for the United States as the 4th of July is Independence Day. The birth chart astrologers use is July 4, 1776 Philadelphia, PA at 5:24 pm, as this was the time of signing of the Declaration of Independence. This lunar eclipse in falling on Independence Day and is at 13 degrees of Capricorn which is directly opposing the sun in the U.S. chart at 13 degrees of Cancer. The sun represents the leadership in the U.S. So, this puts a spotlight on our leader. The path the lunar eclipse takes goes across North America, South America, Southwest Europe and Africa. The main part of the eclipse will move across the U.S. The path where the eclipse travels over is where the themes of change will manifest. So, on Independence Day, the eclipse will be opposing the sun in the U.S. chart. Historically, when we’ve had a lunar eclipse at this degree, it’s been very significant for the U.S. For instance, we had a lunar eclipse at 14 degrees of Capricorn in 1963. That was the year that JFK was assassinated. It was also when Martin Luther King made the speech “I Have a Dream”. Some other important topics is, Mars moved into Aries on June 27th. Mars in Aries is good for starting new projects and for initiating things. Mars will also be squaring the January positions of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Mars, represents the power of the individual and Capricorn, the power of the state of the government and big business. The power of rules, regulations and people who tell you what to do. This is where the action is. The important Saturn, Pluto conjunction that occurred January 12th, which every astrologer has talked about, was at 22 degrees of Capricorn. This started an energy that continues all year. I’ve talked about the themes of abuse of power, being a very strong theme, and also the deconstruction of the old order. The last time we had a conjunction between Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn was in 1517, 1518. This was at the beginning of the slave trade in America and if we’re thinking about a theme of abuse of power, I think it’s very clear we’ve got a repeating theme this year. In the 2nd half of this year, Mars will repeatedly square the January positions of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto, which was 22 degrees of Capricorn in August, October and December. Pluto will retrograde back to 22 degrees of Capricorn from August to November this year. Mars will square Jupiter from the 8th to the 16th of July. So, Mars energizes, Pluto intensifies and Jupiter expands. Back in January these planets were both at 22 degrees of Capricorn. This was the beginning of the coronavirus. So, when Jupiter comes back and revisits 22 degrees of Capricorn in the first half of July, we’re going to get a glimpse of what the autumn holds and also a revisiting of January. This is very strong and dynamic energy. Mercury will turn direct on the 12th of July. It will be at five degrees of Cancer. We still have Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto retrograde for some time. There’s this continuation of turning inwards. This has been a time of feeling like we’ve entered into a cave. Many people found being locked down as an enormous challenge. But, for some people, it’s allowed them the time to develop a stronger spiritual practice to raise their frequency and really work on themselves. So, try and focus on the on the positivity of this. This has been a time to positively create. Getting back to the lunar eclipse occurring from the 4th to the 5th. If you don’t know where this falls in your chart, I’m available for Readings and talk about what this means in detail for now and the future. We also just had a solar eclipse in on June 21st in Cancer, which was at the same degrees as we had in 2001 before 9 – 11. We also had a lunar eclipse on the 5th of July in 2001 at 13 degrees of Capricorn. Then we have 9 – 11 in September. I’m not saying these events will specifically repeat. Alot depends on our level of consciousness. If we’ve raised our level of collective consciousness, they will manifest differently However, this is very important lunar eclipse for the U.S. 13 degrees is considered a critical degrees of the cardinal signs. Critical degrees requires we pay attention, because, historically the degrees brings notable experiences that come from action. At this time, this is very important for the U.S. because the U.S. is moving into what is known as a Pluto return. In July of 1976, when the U.S. was born, Pluto was at 27 degrees of Capricorn in the 2nd house of the chart. The 2nd house rules money and values. This doesn’t become exact until 2022. There may be issues around the economy and issues around values. Questions may come up like “who are we as a country, what do we stand, and what are our values”. Although, Pluto doesn’t reach 27 degrees of Capricorn until 2022, Jupiter and Saturn have already reached this degrees and then retrograded. They reached 27 degrees of Capricorn and then they turned retrograde. They’ll be coming back to 27 degrees of Capricorn in November and December of this year. So, they’ve given us a glimpse of what is being activated. Now, Pluto is about the controlling powers. It’s about deep, dark secrets that have been held in for a long time. It can be brutality and the secrets of the rich and powerful. It’s always a process of purging and detoxing, whether it’s individual or the collective. The country is bringing up issues from the past which need to be looked at in the light. The lunar eclipse is showing us what needs to be purged from the country. It’s a long term process that we are going through. There’s this deconstruction of the old order that we’re seeing globally, everyday, in many countries. It’s very clear that governments aren’t functioning very well. The structures and foundations of our society, that gave order and sense, are being very challenged. There’s another theme here as well, because, transiting Neptune is squaring the transiting nodal axis in Gemini and Sagittarius. It isn’t exact yet. It will become exact in January. But it’s already operational. And this is partly what is causing the truth on one side and then flips to deception and untruths. We go back and forth from fog to clarity. With the north node in Gemini, we may be reaching head spinning proportions. The south node in Sagittarius brings up the past. We’re seeing what the world was and how we thought the world was operating. All of a sudden, we’ve got new information. And that is exacerbated by these issues of trust and betrayal, with transiting Neptune square the transiting nodal axis. So, that’s another whole theme of this deconstruction of the old order. Now, in the middle of this year of 2020, things will be accelerated with the themes that I’ve talked about. I’m not saying the deconstruction will be complete by the end of 2020. I think it may take until Pluto finally leaves Capricorn in 2024 for that process to complete. But, this is a big year for this. As more planets move into Aquarius at the end of this year, Uranus’s frequency and vibration becomes stronger. We are going to better understand that everything in the world is vibration and energy. It’s very important we unite and stay in the vibration of freedom, gratitude and joy. We must trust that that is going to take us to an amazing place and believe that this is going to take us to a better place of manifestation.
