The July 2009 Total Solar Eclipse at 30 Cancer indicates all signs will be profoundly affected in very significant ways for the next 3+ years. This longest eclipse for centuries triggers "final forks in the road of destiny" in many areas of our charts. That said, productivity and very favorable interactions are promised. For those who seek, some will find wisdom while others will find faith.
I understand that most people have come to dread eclipses as a result of historical superstitions as well as actual events. Yes, eclipses mark the end of old ways, where new "lights" appear in our lives as well as the lives of nations. If you want to explore more about the general qualities and meaning of these recurring things called Solar Eclipses, I've included a link to an article at the end of this post.
Today we continue to examine the effects of The Solar Eclipse at 30 Cancer July 21-22, 2009 - What Are Its Effects? In that article we explored some of the qualities of this eclipse and possible general effects for us all. It also contains links to previous articles covering larger influences that still affect us at present, as well as other earlier eclipses that are still in full force.
Let's take a brief look back at the very powerful January 2009 Aquarius Solar Eclipse, since its 3+ year influence will occur simultaneously with the effects associated with this Cancer Solar Eclipse.
Since late January 2009, the Aquarius energies are already offering new opportunities arising from the power of "unrealized purposes." It's time to embrace what's new that's emerging that is unlike local conditions and old assumptions. Many of us are already seeing new mutations in our lives while growing past old disappointments into genuine dispassion.
The symbol for the Aquarius Eclipse is said to hold limitless potential for new forms of self-expression where we may find a form of enlightenment. Through it we are offered some degree of "highly individual and completely unlimited resourcefulness."
In years to come, we will find opportunities to become custodians of something of value, or stewards of some "social function." Through exercising the rights and privileges of our accepting responsibility to that which will outlive us, over the next 3 years we can find stable unions with others who share our common purpose.
For more information about eclipses before 2008, at the end of this article there's a link to a 2007 eclipse post that contains many links to the influence of eclipses back to 2001, some of which also continue to influence the lives of people and nations.
And now, on to the Cancer 2009 Solar Eclipse effects for your individual sign! These descriptions also apply to those who have these as a Rising Sign, or Ascendant.
Aries - Your foundations will be reorganized to make them more nurturing, and you'll be moving through many endings and closures. Members of your family, literal or metaphoric, will leave. You can get more in touch with your ancestry in the future and interpret early life experiences differently. Keep growing professionally and use friendly competition at work to reap power at the end of a life era.
Taurus - You're going to develop a new sensitivity in how you interpret your perceptions. A neighbor, or someone like a brother or sister will leave your life. Adaptability, curiosity, and stable self expression will be high the next 3+ years. Professional growth and group work may yield a new home or you could find something of timeless worth the public needs that gives them a more secure basis of being.
Gemini - You're going to realize you want, need, and care about much different things than you used to. Many old values and attitudes from childhood will end. While hard choices confront you about relationships, you can find timeless wisdom by letting go of the need to dominate that led to hard angles between you and others in the past. Re-think scattered elements of your philosophy and find art.
Cancer - You will no longer feel the way you do about your self-image physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Find elements from your past that can nurture what you truly care about, let go of being too dramatic, and get a larger vision of what is desirable. Reorient your view to get a new attitude toward your friends, goals, and ambitions. Detachment and idealism brings new relationships.
Leo - Old sorrows and views of your life story, family, or cultural history will end, as will a relationship with a neighbor or someone like a sibling. Your meditations will become a lot more sensitive, deep, and nurturing. Old motives will end while you open to newer, larger visions of more ideal ways to work or be of service. This closes a major public life chapter where you take the best of the past into the future.
Virgo - This will bring an end to old friendships and ambitions, bringing new ways of relating to different people than you've ever known before. You'll be taking life more seriously while valuing new forms of self expression and creativity. Become more sensitive to larger goals and find friends who care for and nurture you according to your current needs. Break free of limiting rules.
Libra - This will bring an end to an old public reputation or professional standing. You'll be under pressure the next 3+ years to take responsibility to end needless worry or health problems and accept a more mature role or learning discipline. Open to a broader creativity with friends in a group work while curbing old desires that are a grind. Necessary truths coming about home, family, and self-expression.
Scorpio - Old truths and futures end as new ones that nurture you open up. Travel and education will be important factors as you master new forms of going with the flow. Be noble and gentle as you take the lead professionally, interpersonally, anchoring a new freedom and healing in your home environment. Cultivating faith in doing what is simple and natural as you follow through is the best effort.
Sagittarius - You will leave behind old needs and desires rooted in early life or a past life. You'll remember what you've shared with others that made you feel connected and close to them. Many will renovate their home. Reorientations and moves likely, as are changes in professional status. Loss will create gain. Be clear about needs to know what to eliminate, creating space to attract what fulfills.
Capricorn - You're growing into seeing a much bigger picture of how to use what you have or value. Old partnerships and other equal relationships will end so that new ones can come where you're admiring or emulating each other rather than pushing and pulling. Open to greater truths, higher education, or travel. This prepares you for higher responsibilities or visibility over the next 3 years.
Aquarius - As you embark on your renewed 12 year adventure and learn to manage some intense energies, remember to take care of your health. Old types of work will end, as will old truths and distant associations. Necessary truths about family, home, and past living situations will come from challenges to end ghosts from the past. This will eliminate all that keeps you from regenerative adjustments.
Pisces - As you continue to move through fogs of wondering what unexpected thing will happen next, examine emergent powers to weave a larger understanding. Pleasures, children, or creative forms will end to open you to what you've really cared about but may not have expressed before now. You're in a major healing phase. Let go of lesser things, cooperate with partners, and deliver spiritual power.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, for those who are interested in an overview of the meaning and function of the Solar Eclipse, here it is.
Also, here's the article on The Solar and Lunar Eclipses of August and September 2007 that I promised you earlier. In it you'll find related articles to how the Moon's Nodes are involved in eclipses, as well as an article explaining the influences of the eclipses that occurred from 2001-2006,

Hi Robert,
Good stuff as per usual. Thank u.
On a mundane level, I find it interesting that the eclipse was centered on India and eastward over Nepal, Bhutan, China, and part of Japan. Is it any wonder then that this is happening...

Any thoughts from anyone?

Just for Clarity, Your Highness,
In the Leo sector: "Old sorrows and views of your life story, family, or cultural history will end, as will a relationship with someone like a sibling."
A possible death in the physical sense as well as spiritual?

Woo, i'm liking what i'm seeing for Capricorn...its time we got some celestial help in the name of expansion.

Erm, several NJ Mayors (ours included) and NY/NJ Rabbis are in trouble (HUGE sting operation/no-no):
http://hoboken411.com/archives/23396
"....43 other people allegedly laundered tens of millions of dollars through Jewish charities headed by rabbis in New York and New Jersey. Human organ trafficking, particularly kidneys, is among the charges, according to http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32103250/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/ and the Jewish newspaper http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3751358,00.html
And it’s been going on for 10 years under the guise of charity. Interestingly, the degree of corruption in New Jersey is being described as “a cancer.” And we know where the eclipse occurred.."

By the way.... there will never be a solar eclipse of this duration again
ever- (moons orbit slowly moves away, calculation is never again such a solar
eclipse)
That was a forever eclipse
(sweet jesu!)
Posted by: Ishmael | July 24, 2009 at 03:20 PM
Great article! One question if I may:
The eclipse formed an exact square to my natal saturn (eclipse in house 9-saturn in house 12). Things have been really bad this week regarding travel and relationships. Reality check that REALLY hurts a lot...
Is this effect going to last for a couple of years? I don't see any good coming out of it.
Posted by: Troia | July 25, 2009 at 02:08 AM
Everyone I know felt this eclipse-believers and non believers alike. Thank you for the amazing amount of info you delivered to all of us on this one!
If you ever catch up to the blog I would love your comment (brief of course) on how this eclipse squared my Libra Sun, conjuncted Mars, opposed my Cap rising and trined Jupiter, SN & NN.

I don't like this loosing a sibling thing (Leo Rising Taurus Sun) but it is what it is..

Ishmael
Glad I am not the only one who feels like the past several years were an ongoing Custer's Last Stand. It really hurts when the scalping takes a couple of years.....short interludes of very good thingys interspersed with LOONNGGGG periods of this irrational craziness that Robert does such a wunnerful job of telling us about. Spiritually I am walking on my two legs cut off above the knees. Someone commented to me today out of the blue "but at least you are alive". There is that. Can I have some painkiller for my scalp wounds? And is the scalping complete yet?

That is the most wonderful comment Richard,,,gave me a strange sense of peace! Interesting:)))
Posted by: Marie | July 25, 2009 at 06:45 PM
Just read thru all the comments and I would like to add my 2 cents to Ishmael. Please, clean up your language. It isn't necessary to use foul expletives, it just mucks up the energy.
Posted by: Sue Moon | July 26, 2009 at 05:19 AM
Loved your insight into the effects of the total eclipse as applying to all signs. We can only hope that we are all open to the changes we need to progress spiritually.

Hello Sue Moon,
Just answered your own question I think!
Shanti
Posted by: Morvah | July 26, 2009 at 07:05 AM
LOL-thank you so much!!! That was hysterical Morvah, and isn't it just too true that the answers lie right next to the question!
Posted by: Sue Moon | July 26, 2009 at 08:34 AM
right, sorry, won't happen again.
Posted by: Ishmael | July 26, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Robert, thanks for your guidance, as usual!
For this New Moon Eclipse, I finally did a smudge of my whole lil abode before it, to cleanse the whole space.
I also feel extra blessed that this new moon eclipse is conjunct my natal Venus at 0 degree Leo. And as the event is in my 9th house, I feel it points me even more in the direction I've been working toward, a direction which for the past two years I felt was eluding me.
Thanks for all your great work again. :)

And just read Leo..solar eclipse in 12th...gees! a whirl..also wrote this 22nd on eclipse.. a Leo one...lol
And raptured in worth of Love and care, may fragrant flowers cover you and share all the bliss in heaven's song
As covered now in tears along the river and the children with no cuddles while those with false compassion and fake acts of safety that catch and hinder with rules, distort.
Spiritual law unleashed in retribution,
Blue light of understanding protect from harm the crystal children
Freedom and Light take flight, a myriad delight.

Please comment on the effects of the Solar Eclipse in relation to my Natal chart. Natal Pluto 26.40 Cancer 11th House creating a Grand trine to Mars 29.18 Scorpio 3rd House and Saturn 24.34 Pisces 7th House (conjunct Sun at 19.57).
Thank you very much!
Sharon

Whoops! Forgot to note that the eclipse was in my 5th House with Pisces rising.
Thanks again! For years we have needed someone like you!

eclipses also have impact on midpoints of sun and moon
example if your midpoint is 0 leo sun,moon or 0 aquarius or0 leo etc

Hi Robert, there is an interesting link between this eclipse and one in 363 AD which may have some spiritual implications for all of us: http://funkastrology.co.uk/blog2/?p=42
