Here come the 2019 Summer Eclipses in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn.
So, what are eclipses?
A SOLAR ECLIPSE occurs at a New Moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, when the New Moon is within 17° 25’ of the north or south node. This particular Total Solar Eclipse is about a 7° orb wide from the Cancer North Node.
A TOTAL Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the Sun and the Moon at perigee - when the moon is closest to the earth.
AN ANNULAR Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon is at apogee - when moon is furthest from the earth. During an Annular Solar Eclipse there is a ring of sunlight visible around the moon, called “the ring of fire.”
A LUNAR Eclipse occurs at a Full Moon when the Earth passes between the Moon and the Sun. A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Full Moon is within 11° 38’ of the north or south node.
A TOTAL Lunar Eclipse occurs when the moon is completely covered by the earth’s shadow.
How to work with Eclipses?
Here’s how to get the most out of your opportunities available at the Eclipses.
Working with Eclipses in your personal horoscope:
-
Take note of the sign symbolism and the natal house that the solar and lunar eclipse fall in. The house in your personal chart where an eclipse occurs represents an area of your life that is up for review and dramatic change.
Embrace the changes being offered. Think of an Eclipse as a Reboot opportunity for a fresh start. Clear the playing field. A whole new life is possible now, so go for it!!
-
Transiting eclipses will have the greatest impact when conjunct, square or opposite your Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven or the ruler of your Ascendant.
Check where an Eclipse is happening in your natal chart. If it’s in a 1-2° orb of a planet or point it will be especially potent and significant for you. All Eclipses bring dramatic life altering change, but when an Eclipse is in a private up close encounter with one of your own. Well, buckle your seat belts. You’re in for a WILD Ride. Anything can happen! Typically, you will be VERY Glad about what happens. Though it may take some time for the dust to settle and to re-orient to your new life and way of being.
- Check the Prenatal Solar Eclipse (PNSE) that occurred when you were in utero.
The PNSE is a life-long sensitive degree in your chart. Other people’s planets at that degree may be significant. Also, transits to the PNSE can be quite significant. The affairs of the house where your PNSE is located are important throughout your life. The house placement of your PNSE shows where you need to continually grow and expand.
An Eclipse that is speaking directly with your PNSE can have an all pervasive depth charge life altering effect on you.
