Oh my God can it be February now? Ok, I know January just started, but man, this energy isnt messing around. These Cancer moons don't mess around! This moon happens to be in opposition to two of the most malefic planets in astrology forming a very rare conjunction. For those unfamiliar with astrology language, a conjunction is a meeting in the sky symbolizing a joining of energies. In the case of Saturn and Pluto, it it the energy of restriction and destruction. This can show up for you as fear, negative thoughts, anxiety, restlessness, demons, old wounds, addictions, dark nights, helplessness, and perhaps worst of all, hopelessness. I want you to know January is hands down the roughest ride of 2020 energetically, so buckle your seatbelts and grab your Kleenex. Most importantly, don't believe in the darkness that spews forth from you or anyone else. At the end of the day, we must remember we are resilient beings of light and this energy, though intense, is transient like all other energies. If you're feeling the negativity, the inner or outer battles, stay strong and take comfort in your alignment with the cosmos, if nothing else, knowing it will pass.
These eclipses have been running through my 2nd and 8th houses, very much affecting me personally on the level of worth, my self worth and my worth with the other people and the world. I've been struggling very much this week not feeling like I'm just never going to be enough, and let me tell you, the self talk is not the kindest. I find myself comparing my life to the lives of people who are nothing like me, who are half my age or who don't have a family, or who have made completely different career choices and yet I wonder why I'm not this or that, why I can't do this or afford that. It has been very much brought to the fore for me how much hurt I still hold onto in certain areas of life and how much healing there is left to go. It's not what I want to feel right now, but I have to trust the Universe's timing in times like these.
The good news is that this Cancer eclipse is closing a karmic chapter of your life and if the energy feels more intense than usual, know you are correct. This cycle has actually spanned 19 years when we had similar eclipses, only then Saturn and Pluto were in opposition. What was going on for you then? Think about it on a personal level, but also a worldwide level. 9/11 ring any bells? How did that energy affect you physically? How did it affect your life choices? There is similar energy now and it is by no coincidence there is talk of WW111 at this time. Collectively, we felt the fear then, just as we do now, and sensed something coming, perhaps as we do now too. I know i remember these same knots in my stomach. Cancer/Capricorn on a personal level have to do with family and career. However, on a mundane level, these energies have to do with patriotism and government. I hope you can see what I am getting at. Saturn and Pluto together produce massive global fear, my friends. I want you to understand that with regard to a certain area of your life, you are being offered another chance here again in 2020. The question is do we choose from fear or love? I hope we can all be brave now and make choices from love, but if not, trust in the lessons the Universe provides to steer your way. Everything that is meant to be will be, I know this.
This energy of this eclipse cycle was reawakened in July 13th of 2018 when the nodes shifted into Cancer and Capricorn and we saw our solar eclipse in Cancer at 20°. What was going on for you in the summer of 2018? Did something begin? This time it is a lunar eclipse in Cancer at 20° on Saturday, January 11th 2020. Lunar eclipses close doors, and so rest assured, whatever area of life this is for you, the door is closing for good. Because of the involvement of Saturn and Pluto, and the closing of their cycle so close to this moon, this is very much a karmic ending. In a goodway! Though it may feel rough leading up to it. Trust the healing taking place and know this door is closed and locked and you are finished for good.
Finally, on the 13th, Uranus goes direct in Taurus at 2°. Uranus brings the unexpected into the mix. He is neither good nor bad, but rather, he is an awakener, so again, I encourage you to brace yourself and trust Divine Timing. This is happening now because you are ready.
Finally i’d like to add that if you are in a good place, if you are strong now and unable to relate to what i’ve written here, I ask you to let go of judgment and be strong for the sensitive people and empaths in your life. They are not crazy, they are not weak. They are dealing with things felt but unseen and more than anything they need you to hold space for their growth and give strong hugs when they dont ask.
I hope you have found this information helpful and I wish you strength through these times, hugs through the emotions, and finally a most blessed transformative Cancer Eclipse! I'll see ya on the flipside.
🙏Namaste🙏
