Listen up, Cancer!
All eclipses are a very big deal for you. Especially lunar eclipses. The full Moon in Virgo and your 3rd (3rd), is a total lunar eclipse. A full on redaction occurring around what you have been told or believe. Lunar eclipses occur when the earth moves between the Sun and Moon and the earth’s shadow covers the moon’s surface. This creates that ‘Blood Moon’ effect we see in lunar eclipse photos.
You may feel doubt or a total disconnect from your intuition or your emotional truth. Others may be difficult to read. This is your house of communication, contracts and the internet. Mercury which rules this sector of your chart is retrograde in its opposite sign of Pisces and your 9th. This tells you that this may be a bigger cover up than you imagine. Or that you are missing not just a piece of the bigger picture but an entire section of it.
Watch for: Gaslighting, being told it is just ‘your imagination’, scams, hacks and ghosting. Clauses buried in the fine print. The ick. Body language or actions which contradict what the person is saying. Breakdowns, delays, cancellations. Fake news. Red flags. Feeling pressured to make a choice or decision. Hurtful criticism disguised as ‘helpful’ feedback. Being unfairly accused of being ‘defensive’ when you ask questions. Deflection. Data loss (back up essential files).
This eclipse is the very essence of the card of The Moon in the Tarot. Meditate on it under this eclipse as it will keep your link to your subconscious open and clear. You will require privacy and peace to unearth the truth. And for the eclipse to clear before making any choices. Do wait until at least the 19th when the new Moon appears in your 9th and the day before Mercury engages forward momentum again.
Know that what is hidden within the enigmatic mystery of this eclipse is more than one option or path you can take. This can also involve a ‘blind spot’ involving someone close to you or even a home or property issue. Have you been buying into excuses or making them for someone? Do you know in your heart that you need to move on or even release something but are putting it off? Watch and wait, Cancer. For that channel to your insight to clear. Also for destiny to open the way to alternatives when it comes to solutions or the direction you need to head in.
As the planets move through your 9th they meet the North Node. These are dates of key deliverables for you. Such as missing information, the pieces of the puzzle you’ve been missing, certainty of choice or even that ‘timely’ solution which fate places in your path. Your key dates are the 13th – Mars conjunct the North Node, the second meeting between Mercury and the Node (18th), and then Mercury’s third and final encounter with the Node on the 23rd when it is direct again. This last one should hand you all the facts and certainty you need.
The new Moon in your 9th shines on that fresh direction or path to freedom beyond any barriers others have placed in it. The following day (20th), the Sun crosses into Aries and your 10th. Marking the start of the astrological new year and the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
Some of you may have already experienced a change of status, well deserved recognition and rewards, and even public attention and acclaim, following the meeting between Saturn and Neptune at zero degrees of Aries last month. Are you now living true to yourself and not simply following a path chosen for you by others? The arrival of first Venus (6th) and then the Sun, has you now looking at the facts and weighing these against the emotional take-outs you receive around what you do or want to achieve.
You will be weighing up your long term goals and also the role you want to play now. What you have invested in, what has paid off for you, and what you still have yet to achieve. As first Venus and the Sun enter here and cross zero degree Aries where the Saturn/Neptune conjunction took place, this activates the energy point it created. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to shine, stand out or succeed. And also to have others take you seriously. Your head hands your heart the facts: has your investment of time, love and talent been worth it?
It’s also okay to ask for what you want. That commitment, for someone to make good on their promise to you or to simply state how you expect to be treated. Some of you may move in a new direction, cut your losses but exit richer in experience and self-assurance moving forward as first Venus conjuncts Neptune and Saturn (7th – 8th). Followed by the Sun (22nd – 25th). Certainly, if what the eclipse revealed was that something is no longer worth your time and effort, you will direct these into a new area.
Going forward, you’re powered by courage and the ability to know what it is you want with unshakable certainty. This also applies to your personal life for anyone single and seeking. Time wasters will not be tolerated. No excuses. If no matter how hard you have knocked on them, doors remain closed, you’ll understand these were the wrong doors anyway. And no isn’t a negative outcome, it’s the one that sets you free to head towards yes.
The month ends with Venus’ arrival in Taurus and your 11th house. Friendships are the new love and connections power those new goals and future dreams. Yes, you’re still broadcasting serious intentions, Cancer. But it just so happens now those include serious fun.
In a nutshell: A month to be aware of the sub-text, the body language, the deflection and the no go topics. All speak volumes under the lunar eclipse in your 3rd. What’s been lost in translation emerges. But when it comes to those long term goals – time to upgrade.
