Cancer Solar Eclipse (July 2, 2019)--Voice of the Collective

 The Collective Shouts, Enough is Enough!



Many people focus on the power of the Lunar Eclipse when the Moon opposes the Sun and we explore opposing energies. However, let's not forget the powerful Solar Eclipse we experienced the summer of 2017 in Leo. While the July 2 Solar Eclipse does not contain bells and whistles of eclipses falling in Cardinal Signs that we experienced in recent years, it still ushers in sudden and drastic changes.

This is because Mars at 0 degrees Cancer squares Uranus/Vesta in Taurus. Mars is at 0 degrees Leo and this is a critical point in Western Astrology. It's certainly a critical point in determining our evolution as souls. But Mars is stabilized by a wide out-of-sign opposition with Saturn. Wait a minute. How can an opposition with Cancer and Capricorn bring stabilization? Saturn in Capricorn acts as the father figure who tells us to step away from the drama-infused by Mars at 0 degrees Leo and take a more mature approach to resolve the tension associated with this Solar Eclipse.

The Mars-Uranus square in fixed signs (Leo and Taurus) also pits the individual will against the collective will. We most likely experience a clash of values with the more creative types and the more traditional types (such as old school values pitting against people with innovative lifestyles). Values come up now and we pit those values against stewarding the Earth and pursuing a sustainable future. Yet, many people shout, "Enough is enough!"

We focus upon maverick celebrities (Aquarius and Leo Sun people). We would like to mellow out and take it easy or kick back with a favorite song but there seems like too much trouble coming our way. But if we can step back and get into the flow, we are able to adapt to the changes that the Mars square with Uranus brings to the planet. The best advice is to become selfish in a good way by following our hearts. We won't be thinking clearly anyway during a Solar Eclipse.

I don't like to make predictions but I have a strong image of a Leo rock musician dying from a heart attack or heart failure. An iconic Taurus musician also suffers from ill health and this might even come on suddenly with Uranus in Taurus. A conflict between the US and Canada could erupt due to tariffs since this Solar Eclipse lands close to Independence Day for the US and Canada Day for Canadians. We'll be focusing on Mexico but the tension builds with the country north of the US. I do see resolution but only if the American people have the political will to end the crisis in the White House. (I hope this does not come to pass. I respect Canada and I don't want to see a conflict between the US and Canada. Send light to these two countries).

The other energy in the potential (and I hope this one does happen) is the American youth rebelling against the collective slavery that has kept them trapped. If you thought the Baby Boomers were movers and shakers for social change wait until you see what transpires this summer. The youth represent fearlessness and authenticity while shouting, "Enough is enough!" And yes, it's time to step out of the illusion spun by a few families who are actually living in scarcity consciousness.

When we experience abundance we don't hoard and we pay our fair share of taxes because we know that money will benefit the collective. And if these words carry communist or socialist vibrations it's what Uranus in Taurus is all about! President Roosevelt's New Deal was launched during the last time Uranus was in Taurus. So is it a coincidence that the US Congress is now presenting the Green New Deal? Face it, when Uranus is in Taurus we use our minds to innovate. And our hearts are involved too as we ask what is best for the greater good, not just for individuals. Just wait until Pluto arrives in Aquarius in 2024. Uranus in Taurus paves the way.

Now, let's look at the Solar Eclipse Sun and Moon both in the sign of the nurturer. We gaze at motherhood, mothers, and homes while millions of people don't even have a home. We come up with sudden insights on ways to provide homes in the way of affordable housing. Perhaps, we build tiny hemp homes or American families join together and rent or buy a home which they run as a cooperative home (it has been done successfully in the past). Artists, single mothers, and fringe groups look into this option.

We will be looking at overpriced real estate and overbidding for homes as well as, developers who own ghost homes (homes bought for investments and no one lives in them). We must end these greedy practices because they are at the core of the homeless problem. The other issue is around job security and workers not paid their worth.

The Sun/Moon conjunct the North Node and oppose Saturn/South Node. If we keep doing things the same way we did in the past, we will continue to suffer the same woes. Chiron is also in a wide square with the Sun/Moon. I read an article by Astrologer Jessica Adams who spoke about Chiron in Aries representing fathers and sons. So, let's watch for themes around the relationships men have with their fathers and their male offspring. We all feel like The Fool starting a new cycle or a new journey into the unknown. Jupiter retrograde in Sagittarius tells us to take a leap of faith into the void. But we do have historic lessons to pave the way forward. Let's learn from the mistakes we made in the past.

Finally, I noticed a zigzag pattern in this chart that resembles Aquarius-Uranus thunderbolts. This is why I feel that we're in for some surprises. They feel unprecedented and they bring permanent transformation. I hear the words, "Lay of the land." I'm not sure how to interpret those words. Does this refer to earthquakes or weather patterns that transform the landscape or is it more of a metaphor? We'll find out on or around July 2, 2019.
