We have a pretty strong New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Cancer on the 21st and it is especially important as it is the 2nd New Moon in Cancer in a month.

Simone Butler states: “”A Daughter of the American Revolution” is an appropriate image for a New Moon eclipse in Cancer, sign of tradition and old familial structures. The final degree of a sign is a “last gasp” of that energy, a death knell for the old ways. Eclipses represent a profound shift in direction; a total eclipse of the Sun (masculine) by the Moon (feminine) symbolically indicates that outdated, patriarchal structures are falling away, to be replaced by more intuitive ways of being. The life-giving flow of motherly love is nourishing the hearts of both women and men, if we only open ourselves to it.”

Wherever this eclipse falls in your chart tells you something about what is ending in your life. Something is about to end in a very significant way. For instance, if this eclipse is close to your Venus, you will know that something you value and enjoy, or an old relationships is about to end. You can also see that happening in the houses ruled by Libra or Taurus in your chart, it will be different for everyone.

For instance, the Moon is just leaving my house of Work, health, other people’s health and service and during the eclipse has moved into my relationship house. Many new paths have been opening before me in this area, many miracles occurring for me right now. I expect this eclipse to further all that was set in motion by June’s New Moon in Cancer.

Wilkinson says, If this eclipse is close to your Moon, an old habit may now fall away. If Mars, a quarrel will end, or start. If Saturn is conjuncted by the eclipse, it can mean the passing of an older person or one with power in your life.

Lots of themes for us all. We will be affected by this eclipse for years to come.
