Solar Eclipse Cycle 4:
At 0 degrees Cancer: strengthening the idea of New Growth, and purifying the Cancerian themes.
The Sabian Symbol: ON A SHIP THE SAILORS LOWER AN OLD FLAG AND RAISE A NEW ONE.
KEYNOTE: A radical change of allegiance exteriorized in a symbolical act: a point of no return.
The Light of Awareness goes out. Reminding us how we are ultimately feel at the core - as Hungry Children in Need of Being Looked After.
Your state of denial or acceptance of that depends on your current level of comfort and safety. But for us all, NEEDS become paramount now.
Forget what you WANT anymore, what do you really deep-down, when the chips are down (or the chip bowl is empty) NEED to feel safe and secure and satisfied for the remainder of your adventure on Planet Earth?
This question will be answered again and again - by you, by what life shows you and brings you promoting the asking and thus the answering of that very simple, yet often confusing, question.
So, what do you need now? Maybe it’s different to what you needed last month or this time last year. Redefine and reframe it into your Now.
What do YOU need NOW??
This eclipse, we will give everything to gain a sense of Empowered Security. Of course, eclipses may initially light the way through various forms of Insecurity, making us more sensitized and aware of where and what these are so that we can begin the bounty to empowerment.
So be prepared for that. Cycle 4 pulls on our Emotions to draw our attention to what is working and what needs more focus for us to feel good - Grab a copy of my book to understand the 12 cycles at play in your life - what better time?)
It’s deeply personal for each of us, as Cycle 4 brings echoes of the past, our ancestry, our family. Our childhood home environments. Solar eclipse push us into new territory, urging us to explore new pathways but in Cancer, we cannot veer too far from some Very Basic and deeply personal needs we have and must fulfil during our time on this planet.
Perhaps it’s time to allow yourself to have what you need? Just because it may never have been provided or offered or available to date doesn’t matter. The time has come and it’s your choice to Allow yourself to accept what you need.
Let it in.
Parenting Ourselves means taking responsibility over the emotional caretaking of our inner child - the only one who has been there with us, through it all. (Yes, even those who may have sold out or sealed their inner-kid in a trunk and tossed away the key). Part of us is always aware. Always in need.
This eclipse is conjunct the North Node, out of sign by only a degree in Gemini reminding us that we MUST make decisions by joining our hearts (cancer) and heads (Gemini). Emotional intelligence. Greg Braden’s work on the brain that exists within our Heart, is worthy of research here. And touching your heart before making important decisions is a great tool during this time. How do you feel about your choice? Safe?
Cancer is represented by the Crab for good reason. It’s a smart sign. It knows that we must forge thicker skin and some form of outer armor to protect what lies within. And because feelings worn on the sleeve, often get hurt easily - like the arm that recenly had a medical injection/shot that inevitably gets bumped. Remember that?
Many will consider moving home now. Location matters. And feelings as mentioned earlier , have invariably changed. One Cancer I just reconnected with (as mercury is about to turn retrograde IN cancer) tells me his mother passed recently and he is selling the home, and is displaced and feels homeless during this process while staying in hotels.
The process and new chapters before us may be more pleasurable for many, but there will certainly be an important theme at play about what is needed and necessary for your comfort, something that relates to your past and that also ties in with your family or your living situation.
Wild weather is likely - eclipse cycles inevitably shake the planetary energetically affecting our personal lives and the tectonic plates of the planet.
Many will leave families or reconnect with them. Some fly the nest, others return to feather it. Some rebuild it. A sense of home or homelessness, belonging or if being uprooted and without anchor is likely felt by most.
Where is Home now? Perhaps it’s not even a location but a Feeling. Can you create the sense of Home you need? What’s lacking and do you need repotting again
In a newly fertilized space, for maximum growth?
Redefining who you allow into your selected family, your inner circle, your Safe Space is strong now. What objects or memories will you elect to keep and cherish and which will you allow to leave or give away or abandon?
We want to Hold on, under Cycle 4 but this is also a Final Chapter in some way so that we can Start Something New.
Memories flood back, triggered by deep feeling now - how do we truly forget ? How do we “Let go and move on?”. How can we ,with so much water under the bridge? Each of us must find out for ourselves.
Perhaps forgetting isn’t the point. Perhaps there is a strength and a purpose in remembering. In allowing ourselves to feel whatever comes up. Connecting to our feelings keeps us connected to our intuition.
How much are you holding onto to old feelings old Attachments and are you ready to let go of ANY INSECIRE CLINGING to see what new wants to embrace you?
Just as a cancer is the child-in-need, it is also the Mother Figure of the zodiac, the Nurturer, the Provider. Cancer/Cycle 4 attunes to what is needed do that it can provide, like any Good Parent.
A new life environment, Perhaps is ready to take you in and adopt you into the fold.
But you Have to be free to uproot from the old attachments that keep you emotionally entrenched in places you do not belong, with people who him you no longer have Emotional Work left to do.
The Solar eclipse is a launch pad to greater inner well-being. Usually marriages in royalty families happen around these and the world stage has some dramatic entrances and exits.
Think Secure attachment not insecure dysfunctional enmeshment.
Allow feelings to reset with the shift of the light and see if you have a change of heart or a change in how you feel. How will you fertilize your life to flourish and thrive. Survival is the old world. Now it’s about claiming ur place - why?
For simply BEING HERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
Whatever got you here got you here. But just as we don’t blame the Uber driver for the rest of our evening, we can no longer Blame the emotional impact of prior events and scenery, trauma must be released and resolved, accepted as a page of our history. Sensitivity increased due to it along with empathy.
Help provide for ourselves and thus others around.
Filling ourselves full then turning to those around who and helping the find greater personal fulfillment also.
Feel your way and remember the most important question to ask now:
What do I NEED and how can i PROVIDE myself with that?
And then perhaps you’ll be more available to help provide those around you, strangers or familiar faces with something they need.
