NEW MOON & SOLAR ECLIPSE JULY 12 5.40AM 20 DEGREES CANCER
Wow! – What a huge sudden change occurred in Australian politics under this Cancer/Capricorn eclipse cycle. Capricorn rules politics, governments and societal structure and the Federation of Australia was created under the sign of Capricorn!
Because of this particular eclipse, as well as other planetary configurations including the heavenly conjunction of Uranus and Jupiter in Aries, major change to Australia’s government occurred.
A new vision for the future of Australia is being created. If you have an uplifting vision for your future then it is timely now to take the initiatory steps to act upon it. Avoidance, resistance and hesitancy no longer serve you.
These two progressive planets are still enjoying their sky jive even though stern taskmaster Saturn, positioned opposite them, is continuing to hold their reins. Watch out for when he lets go of control! That’s when major sparks could fly! It’s also when your vision can begin to really take off! Global and personal revolution and reform are likely to be in the air around March 2011! The Great Shift of the Ages is accelerating and we can no longer operate well in the density of unconsciousness and ignorance.
As mentioned in my previous article the current rare cosmic configuration between Uranus, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn previously occurred in 1692, the year of the infamous Salem witch trials. It is interesting to note that Australia’s new, and first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, was born in a small Welsh village called Cwmgwrach, which means “Valley of the Witch”! A large sign depicting a witch welcomes people into the village. Cycles repeat!
We are about to experience a Cancer New Moon and solar eclipse so there is likely to be new beginnings relating to your home and/or family situation. There will be a cosmic line-up of the Sun, Moon, Goddess Juno (Goddess of committed relationships) and South Node of the Moon in the sign of Cancer during this phase. Cancer energy will be strong. You can develop a greater understanding of this energy by reading the Cancer key words and themes below and then self-question. “What can I do for myself that will really nurture and nourish my soul and make my heart sing with joy? Just do it! Embrace a new nourishing path and choose to evolve into radiant star status.
According to well-respected astrologer Bernadette Brady this eclipse cycle can bring “Successful outcomes to long-term worries or illness. An issue which has worried or drained the individual for some time will at first seem worse and then clear, with successful outcomes”.
At this New Moon there will also be an uplifting Mercury/Jupiter connection that will enable opportunities for new perspectives and broader understanding. You may also feel a renewed faith in your skills and self-belief so feel confident enough to initiate new progressive action. It will be a good time to send that letter you’ve been putting off, or initiate that conversation, or new pathway that is so important to you.
A New Moon is always a good time to symbolically plant new seeds of uplifting ideas into the fertile ‘soil’ of your subconscious mind. The ‘seeds’ need to be healthy and uncontaminated in order for them to grow into optimal plants. The subconscious mind also needs to be cleared of contamination so any of the ‘seven deadly sins’ you are still holding need to be released prior to the New Moon.
To aid your understanding of the themes and issues relating to Cancer/Capricorn I’m listing below some associated key words. We all have these zodiacal energies in our psychological matrix, to differing degrees. Those readers who have planets or points in their birth chart around 20 degrees Cancer/Capricorn/ Aries and Libra, all cardinal signs, will experience the effects of this Eclipse series and Moon cycle more so than others.
Why not check out your birth chart to find out? You will need to note the degrees and signs of the zodiac and then correlate the two.

Why not prepare yourself for this New Moon and Solar Eclipse by making the commitment to begin anew in a particular area of your life. You could do a ceremony or meditation to this effect, being very specific about what new pathway you want to create. Bear in mind that an eclipse theme can last for up to eighteen months.
May you choose the Force of Love and Light to guide you always,
Love and blessings,
