Astrology in June-July 2010 - A Cancer-Capricorn Lunar Eclipse and Cancer Solar Eclipse Are On The Way!

by Robert Wilkinson

I'll compose an article explaining the Lunar Eclipse at 5 degrees of Cancer-Capricorn very soon. At this point I'll remind you that no eclipse of itself is "bad," nor do we have anything to fear.

I've composed quite a few articles on past eclipses in the archives that bear re-visiting, since some of the Solar Eclipses of recent years are still manifesting results, if traditional Eclipse lore is to be believed. I went into the timeline of Eclipse effects in the article, The Solar Eclipse - What It Means and Its Effect On Our Life, as well as many other elements of what we can expect from these recurring celestial events. When you're done here, please check it out, since we have a Solar Eclipse coming in just a couple of weeks.

For now, though, another important article explaining even more about what effects we can expect to result from Lunar and Solar Eclipses. For your reconsideration, The Solar and Lunar Eclipse - Is Any Eclipse Destined to Have Bad Effects?

To whet your appetites, here is a bit from the article:

There is a lot of fear and trepidation connected to Eclipses, an unfortunate leftover from previous centuries when Eclipses were believed to augur the fall of empires, dynasties, and powerful people anywhere the Eclipse shadow fell. While Eclipses do tend to shut down some elements in the area of life (house) in which they fall, this is not necessarily a bad thing, since we must bring some things to an end if we are to embrace newer, better ways of doing our Being. While the future effects of an Eclipse may be powerful, in that they last over a long period, they are not necessarily bad.

No Astrological event need be "bad," or have "evil" effects, regardless of whether we're using Vedic, Chinese, Western, or any other approach to defining "All-That-Is" within a precise system of space-time factors. Though a circumstance may seem to have "bad" omens for the future, we can always transcend any negativity and turn the future to beneficent possibilities. No matter where an Eclipse falls, we can turn it to good.

Here it is important to remember Astrology is NOT a "predictive" art, in the usual way this is understood. The craft is less deterministic than most believe, including we professional Astrologers who seem to be able to "hit the mark" regarding future manifestations.

Pattern is everything, and time is a continuity. By knowing the past and present, we can often extrapolate the future. But we can never know how a being will respond to any given life challenge, whether pleasant or painful. Each has their ability to respond as they choose in the moment.

This directly related to the concept that each planet has a duality of function. It is up to us to determine whether the Moon, Sun, Mercury or any other planet involved in eclipses, "bad" aspects, configurations and other phenomena manifests productively or non-productively.

To remind you, a square can be more productive than a trine, and an opposition can produce awareness. Polarization is only a problem on the ego level. Seen from a higher angle, oppositions are necessary for us to acquire objectivity and the ability to encompass duality within a higher view.

By all means, check out the entire article, since I explained how past eclipses affected my chart, and gave examples of the good that can come after an eclipse removes old patterns. I suspect that while many will go through "karmic adjustments" in the next few months, all in all it should not be that bad, given the Sun's part in the Cardinal T-square is in the rearview mirror. That would indicate that the worst is behind us, at least for now.

See you soon with more on this 2010 Cancer-Capricorn Lunar Eclipse!

hi robert,
thanks for that interesting article.

NASA is telling us that the eclipse in the morning (sat.26th) 10:17 GMT will be spectacular! very close to the horizon, it will present us with a "moon illusion". why the moon appears larger on the horizon they can't say.

anyway, the event will last 3 hours with maximum of 54% at 04:38 pacific time, usa.

hi Robert,
thank you for the link to the excellent "The Solar Eclipse - What It Means and Its Effect On Our Life"
your insights are very helpful. What orb of influence would you recommend as being relevant with the solar eclipses/ lunar eclipses?

The Jan 15 solar eclipse (25Cap02) conjucted my Mars at 27Cap22 in the fifth house (ruler of my sun 20ari58/moon18ari12/mercury 26ari11 in the 8th) opposing Uranus in the 11th and squaring my Neptune in the 2nd and mercury in the 8th. Is this close enough to be conjunct for an eclipse?

It would seem so as Jan 5th I was downsized after six years in a senior marketing position in entertainment consumer products (5th), given 5 months notice. Ending one hassle and beginning another. The company is struggling with the market being affected by downloading, but I did enjoy the position. I am now looking for a new position and also exploring my personal interests, but this is significantly taking it's toll on my finances and primary relationship. I see after reading your posted article and investigating further that the Cancer solar eclipse July 11th from my 10th will square my Aries sun, moon and sun/moon midpoint in the 8th. Will this now completely total my finances or my chances for a new position soon? Possibly bring a new position with the creativity of the square?
I'm getting little response in the job market but it is summer here, so slow.

Birthdata: april 10/56, 4:23 pm, Lat 42N24, long 82W11
I do have transiting Nep sextile mercury (ruler of 10th), Uranus and jupiter sextile mars and Uranus trine Uranus.
How are my chances for a new position soon or perhaps starting my own business?

your help is much appreciated,
Cassandra

Well that was uplifting...you hit the mark with the comments on the January eclipse that fell over Canberra and we see the interconnectedness of the eclipses! the nation just got a big shock at the way it was done...dumped by his own party in such a nasty way...politics is such a nasty game.
