Eclipses on July 2nd and July 16th
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following eclipses will have a major impact on you.
The first eclipse is a Total Solar Eclipse on July 2nd taking place in the sign of Cancer. The second Eclipse is a Lunar Eclipse on July 16th and takes place in Capricorn.
The ancients believed that during an eclipse,” the mighty will fall". They bring endings and beginnings-- births and deaths. They believed that rulers are born or die at the time of eclipses. President Trump was born on a Lunar Eclipse in 1946, Prince William was born on a Solar Eclipse in 1982 and Princess Diana died on a Solar Eclipse in 1997. People born on an eclipse have a light that shines out to others and they tend to be popular or important people. The energy from an eclipse can last up to six months and also become active a month before the actual eclipse.
Total Solar Eclipse on July 2 at 10 Cancer
This eclipse will be seen across the South Pacific, Chile, and Argentina.
Solar Eclipses tend to relate to sudden events that disrupt our day to day functioning; they are the crisis that seems to come out of nowhere and that suddenly demand all of our conscious attention and focus. They tend to stir things up on a physical and conscious level much more than Lunar Eclipses.
A solar eclipse is a powerful new moon so make plans for the future. Set your intentions during this eclipse around Cancer themes – family, home, children and traditions.
The 6 months following this eclipse is an ideal time to make a fresh start in your relationships with your immediate family.
Total Lunar Eclipse on July 16 at 24 Capricorn
This is a partial Lunar Eclipse and will be seen in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and South America.
On a Lunar Eclipse, something will end and on a Solar Eclipse, something will begin. A Lunar Eclipse is an opportunity to break habits or eliminate socially conditioned patterns of thought and behavior that stand in the way of self-realization.
This eclipse rules big business, property, land, and finance. Also, this eclipse can help you get grounded and organized in your daily routines.
A Lunar Eclipse can make us more aware of our patterns, and our unconscious motivations. This is especially true since this eclipse is conjunct Pluto. This period of time can bring up old memories and feelings. Full moon eclipses can bring things to completion that you have been working on. The Sun opposite the Moon lights up the Moon and brings previously unexamined areas of your life into awareness. Repressed energies emerge for confrontation and resolution. Pay attention to your dreams. Lunar Eclipses are more emotional than Solar Eclipses.
This eclipse on July 16 will affect two signs – Cancer and Capricorn. Capricorn wants to succeed in the outer world. Cancer wants to develop and maintain a secure home life. The inter-relationship between these two signs mirrors the inter-relationship each of us has with our urge for prestige and the urge to tend to the home.
How will these eclipses affect you?
Eclipses are contrary to the status quo. If impacted by one of these eclipses, your life will not run on the same track it has been on. But that can be a good thing. Some view eclipses as release and renewal points. If your birthday falls on or is close to the dates of an eclipse your life will change dramatically in the months and years ahead. An eclipse is more powerful if the shadow falls where you are living or on your birthplace.
Eclipses repeat every 19 years. We had solar and lunar eclipses at the same points In July of 2000. Look back at what happened then. This will continue a theme that was playing out at that time. But remember, eclipses get triggered after they occur so events can come in after the eclipse especially within 6 months after the event.
An eclipse tends to emphasize matters related to the house it falls in on your natal chart and what planets it conjuncts or opposes. The areas ruled by the houses or planets will demand more attention, thought, energy, and time from you, at least until the next eclipse in December 2019. Eclipses open doors and invite you to come in, illuminating and stimulating areas of your life that need your attention.
Remember that planetary energies are archetypal and archetypes can be expressed in many different ways. It’s really based on your consciousness and how you decide to work with these energies.
The Solar Eclipse of July 2 at 10 Cancer will affect you if you have personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or Mars) or the ascendant at 8 to 12 degrees of Cancer and/or Capricorn. Also, look at your natal chart for the house that holds 8 to 12 degrees of cancer.
The Total Lunar Eclipse of July 16 at 24 Capricorn happens on a full moon as all Lunar Eclipses and two houses in your natal chart will be affected. This eclipse will impact you if one of your personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or Mars) or the ascendant is at 22 to 26 Capricorn or Cancer. It will mean the end of one set of circumstances and the beginning of another. Let go! Look at your natal chart for the houses that contains 22 to 26 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn. This eclipse will stir up events related to those houses.
