Cancer Lunar Eclipse

The awareness finally came to me this evening, after a full day today, and a week of being blinded by the energy I feel from others (Pluto is transiting my 7th house-clearing karmic relationship residue)--the energy is building, moving us full gear towards Friday's lunar eclipse!  Today the Sun in Cancer is directly opposing Pluto (the Goddess of Power), both at 6 degrees, in square to Uranus in Aries at 4.  Saturn sits in Libra at 10 degrees, filling out this building grand cross (squares and oppositions are stressful aspects), full of extreme emotions and anger or the opportunity to embrace radical responsibility for our emotions and balance.


The red square shows the grand cross of the mentioned planets, all in cardinal, action oriented signs.  Cancer relates to our emotions, our emotional body, and our egos.  Cancer people--Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars in Cancer and charts with 4th house planets--need space from the outer world to occasionally melt down, so they can feel themselves and their emotional bodies, otherwise they become too sensitive to the emotions/feelings of others.  Without that space Cancer becomes crabby and snaps--literally.  In this lunar chart with Pluto involved, its really important! to have the space to melt down.  Add Uranus into the mix and the energy becomes volatile, either internally or externally, if the need for space isn't honored.

We need this space for several reasons:  1) because transits are collective imprints that we receive from our planetary brothers and sisters, and it's a very good idea to honor their communications to us, and 2), because Cancer not only relates to our emotions, it is linked to our egos.  Some of us need to build up our egos, while others need to downsize.  Either way, the needs of the ego are linked to our personalities, not necessarily to our souls, and our personalities only take us so far in this domino effect type world we are living in.


This lunar eclipse represents the doorway we are incrementally moving into over the next five years, as Pluto and Uranus come into exact square, and how this will impact our ability to manage the Promethean type energy that will impact our emotional bodies, our emotional power in the years to come.

Deep seated fears are resting in us all now, because the outcome, the future is unknown.  Thus getting in touch with what lies in our own personal unknown is of great value for the courageous soul.  The corporate political agenda is darker and more ruthless than possibly ever before (except for the last time Pluto transited in Capricorn in 1765), while economic instability and serious earthly concerns grip our attention.  Pluto in the sign of Capricorn (operating in the shadow, which it is) represents the corruption of wall street, our tyrannically greed driven corporate seized government, and the execution of extreme cutbacks for the middle lower classes. And Uranus in Aries symbolizes the rebels who just won't put up with it anymore (from either side left, right or inbetween).

The challenges we will experience from these squares become exacerbated in the outer world; one, because the powers that be distort natural law (living within our means, living in union with nature...) and two; because our egos have not processed, released, and cleared the emotional baggage it has carried around for eons (and/or this life), and this one life is enough to start with.  Wherever you are feeling challenged right now is your guides, to the areas of your psyche and life that require your attention and care.

If we lived in unison with the elements, we would still be going through significant changes with these transits, but they would be much less extreme and more palatable for our souls to take.  Uranus also represents trauma.

Cancer is the sign of nurturing.  Where do you need to mother yourself?  A healthy mother helps a child feel safe, to express, to receive, to be.  Pluto represents the deeper soul self, so don't be surprised if repressed, painful memories are attempting to push to the surface.  Uranus helps break things open too, so they may come up in a shocking manner.  It we are conscious of the cosmic barometer and embodied, we won't be surprised by the sudden storms that our current times bring.

I've been writing about this radical change on the horizon for some time.  If you can feel, get a sense, of the energy of this eclipse, then you know what I'm taking about.  Remember the sixties, the intensity?  Well, the coming transits are harnessing those exact volatile awakening vibes into new form.  The issues are similar, yet different.  The pot is fuller, and the anti is up.

Neptune's movement into Pisces for the next fourteen years may just be our saving grace.  None of us know exactly what the coming times will bring.  Our best bet is to clean house, practice embodiment, connect and commune with the earth, and release, let go, release, let go, release, let go...

Peace and love,
