Lunar Eclipse in Cancer 2020
Lunar Eclipse in Cancer 2020 “Dream On” Aerosmith
The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer is a culmination of eclipses of Cancer/Capricorn in the last year. The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer is the epitome of lunar expression as the Moon is at home in Cancer, fully emphasized in eclipse glory with a profound fruition and impact as Saturn and Pluto join in their one time conjunction in Capricorn. The Moon in its essence is reactive, responsive and reflective and when the Moon, ruling Cancer, is eclipsed we will see the full on climax of affects or repercussions.
The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer is oppose a powerful stellium of Capricorn (Sun Mercury Jupiter Saturn Pluto), a potent line up in manifestation, all in the 20-22 degree range with Saturn Pluto join at 22 degrees. Anyone with degree points close to this (particularly Cancer Capricorn and other cardinal signs Aries Libra 20-23 degrees) will feel the effects of some kind of reckoning, ending, paying dues, past coming forward. With Saturn and Pluto join, it is a critical marker, often stemming from very deep (Pluto) long term (Saturn), long standing past residue (south node). The eclipse is further aggravated by a tense aspect to Mars Sagittarius, with Mars semi square Sun Mercury Saturn Pluto which can draw out frustration, impatience, anger, harsh response, evident with the current raging fires in Australia, severe cold and snow storms (Saturn Pluto Capricorn extremes), conflict escalating with the US and Iran.
Lunar cycles draw out Moon/emotional reaction and most challenge and health issues start with emotional response and how to manage the emotional impact. The Lunar Eclipse in Cancer oppose the stellium in Capricorn is riveting and combustible, drawing out any and all things regarding accountability, fathers, paternity, reputation, career, status, age, wisdom, with power struggles and destructive response. Saturn Pluto emphasize cause and affect, timing and life cycles where everything has a beginning and an end, with an eventuality that has its own timing that we don’t always have control over. Health issues with depression, anxiety, OCD, skin, knees, teeth (Capricorn-Saturn), stomach, breasts, emotional (Cancer-Moon).
This eclipse is on the north node, pushing forward to lunar emotional reaction and response to the building Capricorn stellium that gained momentum at the Solar Eclipse Dec 26th 2019 with much emphasis on the south node. Even though the Solar Eclipse had a positive twist, join Jupiter in Capricorn and trine Uranus Taurus, giving a sense of ease, relaxed, lazy (suitable for holiday time), it was pulled to a path of least resistance on the south node, giving way to an energy of a fall out, weakness, (Jupiter-south node-excess, poor judgement, injustice), (Mercury south node-challenges with communication).
Whatever the reckoning, if one is following Saturn Capricorn practices, (moderation, good boundaries, restructuring, responsibility, discipline, grounded, rational, objective) and not being pulled into emotional overreaction, the impact can be empowering and fulfilling. A motto for this eclipse can be to feel the feelings and choose the response. While it is challenging and often unhealthy to deny feelings, you can control and decide how to respond, constructive, responsible while moderating knee jerk, oversensitive reaction. Any water rituals, seeing a therapist, a shoulder to cry on, shed some tears, release some fears.
Looking at this Lunar Eclipse in Trump’s chart is reflective of his status and the impeachment trial. Trump’s Venus Saturn in Cancer in the 20-25 degree point are eclipsed. Trump’s career sector (MC) is ruled by Venus and with Saturn, rules over reputation. On the other hand, the Lunar Eclipse in Cancer is transiting Trump’s Taurus MC (status) with a trine (supporting his status and career, reinforcing and supporting the influence he has and the renegade style he promotes). The current opposing factors are evident with the impeachment process between democrat and republican in a grid lock due to tradition and long standing constitution values (Capricorn).
