Cancer
(June 22-July 22)
The mirror has been wiped clean and you are currently standing in front of the clearest representation of yourself and where you are in your life, now. Can you accept that who you were in the past, “good” and “bad” has gone? Can you move forward without attachment to what was? The wildest thing is that you may be tempted not to hold onto what served you, but to grasp at what kept you stagnant; the avoidant, invulnerable behaviours that kept you from your ultimate success. How will you convince yourself to let go of them, this week? Mars in your second house will be ready and waiting to help you re-stabilize once you embrace this “tower” moment.
Leo
(July 23-Aug. 22)
The Eclipses, this year, move right beyond your grasp, into your twelfth house. Right now, you are learning what it means to be out of control of the way people see you; whether because you are in survival mode and need help, or because you are changing in front of your own eyes, and aren’t really sure who you’ll be, yet. Let yourself be here, exposed. This part of the cycle will be over soon, but only if you let it run its course. Let your guard down and be honest about where you’re at and what you need. What you’ve been wanting is just on the other side of this difficult unmasking.
Virgo
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This Eclipse begs the question as to why you are doing whatever you’re doing. Who are you trying to serve? What end goal do you see on the horizon? Which of your values is that goal serving? If you get too caught up in what you think “could be,” you risk burning out, right now. Fix your attention back on this moment in time and what little steps you need to be present for, in order to make the journey from here to where you want to be. You’re the only one rushing you. Get back in alignment with your intentions, breathe, and be proud of yourself for making it this far.
Libra
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Whatever leftover stories you have lingering in your mind and body about the limitations you will “always” face because of who you are, where you grew up, what you look like, how educated you are, etc, need to be tossed out, this Eclipse. The sky isn’t even a limit for you, Libra. You are here on this Earth to break barriers and create your own reality. What do you want your existence to consist of for the next few days? Months? Years? It’s all up to you. Identify where you are holding yourself back so you can move forth bigger and better than you’ve ever dared to be.
Scorpio
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
If you’ve got an itch to move cities, states, or countries, now may be a good time to do it. Regardless of if you decide to physically move, any ruts you’ve nestled into need to be shaken up, now. It’s time to experience things and learn lessons that crack your world wide open and really show you all that’s possible. When you think of what you need to push you into a new paradigm around work, love, and self-perception, what comes up? Trust whatever vision comes through and find some way to have accountability around following it.
Sagittarius
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This Eclipse may kick up a lot of dust in your inner world, which may make your outer world feel just as chaotic and unsettling. Right now, it is important to seek out connections, experiences, songs, etc, that remind you that you are OK and you always will be. There is always a larger purpose to all of the commotion. Find some high, solid ground, whatever you identify that to be for you in your life (maybe it’s nature, your hometown, the beach, etc) and take a look at the big picture to try and see the meaning in all that has happened recently. There are some exciting things on the horizon. Slow down and get a little more settled so you can receive them.
Capricorn
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It’s time to decipher what lessons your relationships have been reflecting back to you, lately, and it’s time to integrate them. What have you been learning from your romantic, platonic, business, and otherwise social interactions? How has seeing yourself reflected in others felt, recently? Do you like what you see? Do you feel proud of what they show you? If not, think about what would change that dynamic and clear that mirror. If you need space, take it. Otherwise, try to be as honest and raw about what’s coming up for you within your connections to others so they can help you move in the right direction.
Aquarius
(Jan. 20-Feb.18)
It’s time to take a step back from focusing on tasks and caring for everyone else and check in with yourself. How has your body been doing lately? What kind of emotions have been arising most consistently, in the past week? What has your self-image and self-talk been like? If you have been rushing around, hoping it would distract you from what’s going on internally, it may all hit you at once during these eclipses. Address this preemptively by planning days this week where you can sink in, reinitiate your self-care routines and reflect. So much has happened already, this year. It’s time to look back, process and move through all that’s plaguing you so that you can truly move forward.
Pisces
(Feb.19-March 20)
This Solar Eclipse wants to reunite you with where you feel freedom. What kinds of self-labels, relationship dynamics, and expectations feel restrictive to you, right now? How can you change your relationship to them so that you can feel more free? Cancer season is all about your pleasure, joy, and creativity. Let your self-understanding and who you thought you were expand until it has no definition or boundary. Embrace this new cycle that this eclipse is bringing in with open arms. This is your time!
Aries
(March 21-April 19)
When you aren’t trying to be something, or feel a specific way, what is the base-level state for your body, mind, spirit, etc? Does this default energy feel good to you? Whether this place feels grand and peaceful, or difficult and frustrating, this Eclipse season is giving you a chance to renew it and take it to the next level. It is possible to feel good and grounded without “trying,” but it may take practice and discipline at first. Gather all of the tools you know of to help you create this kind of center for yourself, this week.
Taurus
(April 20-May 20)
You may feel very sensitive and quick to jump to conclusions, this week. Try to avoid this behaviour. Us humans know little to nothing about anything, including why other people do and say the things they do. Trying to fill in the blanks will always be a losing game. Instead, think about how you feel with the information you do have and make a decision based on what’s best for you with these facts. Your mind is incredibly powerful, especially this week. Let it focus on what really matters and let everything that isn’t moving you forward and making you feel certain fade to black.
Gemini
(May 21-June 21)
The energy of this week is meant to remind you of what happens when you spread your attention too thin. What if you just picked three or four things to really ground in and commit to, right now? What if you took a hiatus from being the social one and made more intentional time to connect with yourself and your feelings? How do you think this would affect you? This Eclipse’s lesson, for you, is about what you’re doing to build a foundation. Do you feel like you have one already? Does it feel like something that could nourish what you’ve been hoping to build on top of it? Get honest with yourself and be prepared to make big changes to your routines, relationships, etc, if necessary.
