Happy Illumination of this Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn!
Brace yourself, because a POWERFUL cosmic event is taking place this weekend! On July 4th or 5th, depending on which hemisphere you’re on, north or south, we will be experiencing the last of the three consecutive eclipses; this one will be a Full Moon Eclipse in Capricorn. What makes this eclipse so noteworthy is that it is the last eclipse that will happen on the Cancer-Capricorn axis until 2027. The Universe REALLY wants you to tune into your feelings so you can make any necessary changes in your life. Complacency can no longer be a choice. You must learn to nurture yourself before putting other people’s needs ahead of your own. It’s a great time for releasing, revisiting, and letting go of what has not been effective and revealing the push-pull between your family versus your career, this culminating penumbral eclipse urges you to reflect on the long-held goals you have for yourself, and consider if they really mean anything to you anymore, it’s likely you’ll find your priorities have shifted and there are other goals or aspects of life that are more meaningful to you now.
Eclipses are also known to lift and/or thin the veil between Spirit and Matter making this an exceptional time to experience psychic overload if you don’t process your emotions and insights. You will FEEL everything more intensely. It’s important to ground your energy, and exercise – or else you will have an excess of spiritual energy that puts your nervous system in overdrive.
Some Mercury Retrogrades happen across two signs, but this entire retrograde is happening in Cancer, directing Mercury’s mishaps solely at Cancerian areas of life: family, home, comfort, security… Miscommunications with your domestic partner or relatives could rattle your home life, or a series of appliance breakdowns and home repairs could have you frustrated or even temporarily displaced. If something needs fixing, get to it early instead of waiting until it becomes a headache.
Mars only goes through a retrograde period once every two years. Mars Retrograde gives you an opportunity to recuperate and refocus your energy so you’re spending it on what matters most and what will make the biggest impact in your life. It’s like a timeout, when you aren’t able to do as much as you may want to, but you get time to re-energize so you can really hit the ground running once Mars turns direct. This Mars Retrograde could feel especially frustrating, because it’s happening in Mars’ home sign of Aries. Aries is a very active sign and doesn’t take kindly to being told to slow down. Realize it’s not about stopping entirely, it’s about taking time to regroup.
A powerful T-square to Mars and Chiron from the Sun and Moon certainly creates a dynamic call for you to MOVE forward with passion – and be open for LOVE to heal your HEART.
This can be a month of immense healing and growth if you allow yourself to take time to tune into your inner voice.
