So we've got a beginning, an end and a beginning again all at one time.
Maybe the question, first asked by some smart chicken somewhere probably not in any hurry to cross the road - can we peck our way out of our crumbling structure or is someone going to have to crack us on the griddle?
If we need to stop doing what we have been doing, then let's go ahead and stop. If we need to begin something new, here is a space for a fresh start. Trust it and by "it" I mean yourself.
We can't just call this a New Moon because it may as well be a new world. Keep in mind in Cancer what begins might begin very personally/in secret/in private/within the family/within our shell.
But it's surely the start of something and also the ending.
The Moon/Sun are again aspecting asteroid Hygie (our health practices/hygiene - our focus still here) and we have an exact inconjunct to a retrograde Saturn who has just backed into 0 degrees Aquarius on his return visit to Capricorn. Cancer's ruler is the Moon, so this is HER lunation. Mercury is retrograde in Cancer, answering to the Moon and Venus is retrograde in Gemini answering to Mercury who's answering to the Moon.
Have I said this is going to be emotional? This is going to be emotional.
Cancer New Moons - and this one is powered up by its position at 0 degrees, the Solar Eclipse AND the Solstice - are about collective Cancer themes
(so, this theme is applicable to all of us both individually and collectively and then the theme of our personal natal Cancer house will come into play, too - see the themes by sign below).
So, what are we being asked to begin?
Cancer rules home, family, our roots, mother, mothering, our ancestry, real estate, country, patriotism, home business, family business, our need for safety and security, our moods and emotions, the root of the matter, what is home, where do we belong, who are our family
and because Cancer opposes Capricorn where we do what we have to do and push ourselves through no matter what, it also rules the care we take of our physical body (so make it a rule now to take as excellent care of yourself as you are able), the way we feed ourselves/nurture ourselves and others and the wee beginnings of things that we sometimes rush through on our way to the top of that mountain (or bottom of that pile of "things to do") - somewhere in here is where we get the new beginning (or two),
and, because, remember a Solar Eclipse is the eclipsing of the Sun (our life-force) - the beginning can come through a powerful ending (if something/someone is leaving, it is already gone - keep this in mind). Sometimes a masculine energy/father figure leaves.
With a retrograde Saturn inconjunct (there is some old and frustrating incompatibility with this new start) the New Moon will have to have patience and make adjustments to rules and limits. Maybe maintain a stiff upper lip at times because unless we are an actual blubbering baby we probably don't want to behave as one.
Let's look at some potential themes by sign.
I was going to write a different kind of post, but fractured my foot jumping off a swing and THEN not wearing the boot at the moment I most needed it, fell down the stairs, hurting, what feels like it just might be, everything else. The good news, I don't notice the pain from the fractured foot anymore (textbook Mars/Pisces and my natal Mars is in Leo, so some fiery - sometimes rash - action on my part always setting off an injury when I do have one - ugh).
Anyhoo - let's look at this by sign for some potentials to think about.
Please remember "by sign" is kind of a guideline. We are all under the energetic of the Aries themes - because Aries rising, Aries in his natural 1st house - in a whole sign house system (which I don't use for personal charts, but I must use for these kind of mundane forecasts) is a collective theme.
Sometimes we find the theme of our Sun sign - regardless of house - at play and other times our Rising sign (sign on the cusp of our first house) theme fits better. Of course, just because you are a Taurus rising, doesn't always mean you have Cancer ruling your 3rd house, etc, so if you know the actual house check that first and you might have to feel your way through this.
Depending on your individual chart (if you have planets or points near 0 degrees of the cardinal signs this will be stronger for you) you may feel this Eclipse to a greater or lesser degree, but all of us get eclipsed.
The energy we carry for the collective - the energetic lineup when we drew our first breath - shifts.
We change and then we attract changing circumstances - and because there is no time and eclipses somehow work backwards, too - these changing circumstances can precede the actual eclipse!
ARIES/Aries Rising - (Cancer 4th house/Aquarius 11th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 4th house of home, family, your roots, mother, mothering, your ancestry, real estate or a home business, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 11th house of your friendships, groups, causes, the internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with other people, your advancement, technology, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
TAURUS/Taurus Rising (Cancer 3rd house/Aquarius 10th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 3rd house of communication, information, ideas, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, your achievement goals, dad, business, authority, responsibility, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
GEMINI/Gemini Rising (Cancer 2nd house/Aquarius 9th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
CANCER/Cancer Rising (Cancer 1st house/Aquarius 8th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 1st house of yourself, so a new chapter is kicking off for you. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 8th house of other people's resources, other people's values, intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, loans, debts, taxes, inheritance, sex, reproduction, the resources you share with other people, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
LEO/Leo Rising (Cancer 12th house, Aquarius 7th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, secrets, the ethereal realms, imagination, hospitals, spirituality, addiction, healing, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 7th house of your relationships so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
VIRGO/Virgo Rising (Cancer 11th house, Aquarius 6th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 11th house of your friendships, groups, causes, the internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with other people, your advancement, technology, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 6th house of your day-to-day activities, your routine, work, co-workers, pets and your health, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
LIBRA/Libra Rising (Cancer 10th house, Aquarius 5th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, your achievement goals, dad, business, authority, responsibility, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct this from your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression, what you give birth to, children, romance and recreation, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
SCORPIO/Scorpio Rising (Cancer 9th house, Aquarius 4th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn from your 4th house of home, family, your roots, mother, mothering, your ancestry, real estate or a home business, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
SAGITTARIUS/Sag Rising (Cancer 8th house, Aquarius 3rd house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 8th house of other people's resources, other people's values, intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, loans, debts, taxes, death, inheritance, sex, reproduction, the resources you share with other people, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 3rd house of communication, information, ideas, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
CAPRICORN/Capricorn Rising (Cancer 7th house, Aquarius 2nd house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 7th house of partners and partnerships so something here is BEGINNING/new. Saturn is inconjunct from your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
AQUARIUS/Aquarius Rising (Cancer 6th house, Capricorn 12th house) daily activities, your routine, work, co-workers, pets and your health, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 1st house of yourself, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
PISCES/Pisces Rising (Cancer 5th house, Aquarius 12th house) the Sun and Moon are meeting in your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression, what you give birth to, children, romance and recreation, so something here is BEGINNING/new. A retrograde Saturn is inconjunct from your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, secrets, the ethereal realms, imagination, hospitals, spirituality, addiction, healing, so something here - and this part won't be a new thing - is frustrating/incompatible and somehow must be integrated with the fresh start.
There is also a wide square to Mars, that we discount at our own peril because keep in mind Mars is uber uncomfortable in Pisces and rushing to get home to Aries (June 27th) for the REST OF THE YEAR. He is going to square this Eclipse point as he enters Aries and THAT might be when we see/feel the ramifications of THIS or when something gets moving.
So, factor that in to the above "by signs" - the action coming through your natal Aries house!
This Eclipse is hitting the United States Venus/Jupiter conjunction, so this might not be pretty for us (finances/expansion and ruling (through Venus) 6th house health/work, 10th house worldly reputation/career and (through Jupiter) the 1st house of the country itself/our spirit - but keep in mind Eclipses also work backward and we can see the virus forcing a focus on safety/home (also continue to keep your pantry stocked), financial and health challenges and the government restrictions that can be at the same time frustrating and also inadequate and with this stuff being emphasized at the Solstice this is going to continue to have a lasting impact. With Mercury nearby this also means we can't believe everything we read in the news/media - but we know this already. The square from Mars; the protests that seemed to come out of nowhere, but have been brewing for centuries - and are, yes, going to be more lasting and effective in provoking change/newness.
Big news and events coming next week.
There are multiple "war" aspects now, and we had a similar Eclipse the summer before 9/11 - but let's hope the "war" is the war on this virus and the protests war on police brutality and second class citizenship and not an actual "war" as it has historically been born out. Trump's natal Mercury (which squares his delusional, but also psychic Neptune) is in the line of fire here, so it's anyone's guess what he could say now. Hopefully he is taking care of his health/safety.
If you find yourself getting lost in all of this, keep in mind always our North Node in Gemini now - we talked about it HERE (Part I and Part II are both in this post).
