July 2, 2019 Solar Eclipse In Cancer

Our third eclipse of 2019 will be a  solar eclipse on July 2, and it occurs at 10 degrees and 42 minutes Cancer. This total solar eclipse will be visible from small parts of Chile and Argentina just before sunset. Some regions in the Pacific and South America, including locations in Ecuador, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay will see a partial solar eclipse, if the weather permits. Eclipses generally affect the masses - events that affect most people in a large area or even worldwide. Since this eclipse occurs in domestic and family-oriented Cancer, this eclipse could affect family matters, domestic issues, women’s issues, homes, and land.

For the US, this eclipse will affect the President because it is in conjunction to the Sun in the chart of the United States. Saturn in opposition to this point will cause continuing problems for the President. Saturn’s placement in the third house indicates that the media will continue to be a heavy and stern check on the President. The eclipse takes place in the ninth house in the chart over Washington DC. This eclipse will affect the legislature and the judicial branch as well. Look for a continued push for impeachment hearings, and the Courts will likely continue to side with the House in their efforts to get information on Trump’s finances and from Mueller’s report (the sections that were blacked out because of classified information requirements).

The eclipse in the ninth house will also affect the airline industry legal organizations and law firms, higher education issues, the healthcare industry, and relations with foreign countries. The Mercury/Mars conjunction in the ninth opposed by Pluto could indicate severe problems and/or accidents. There could be more talk of war and/or violence with foreign nations. There could be surprises and/or sudden moves from an enemy or partner with Uranus on the descendant. Violence and/or war cannot be eliminated from the possibilities with the Mercury/Mars conjunction in a square aspect to Uranus in the chart. We could lose a famous diplomat or woman with Venus in the eighth house. And, there continues to be a great deal of optimism with regard to the economy with Jupiter in the second house. That optimism probably is not justified since Neptune is in a square aspect to Jupiter.

As always, this eclipse will affect you personally if you have planets and/or points conjunct or opposite the eclipse point (only a two degree orb). Those planets or points between 8 degrees and 12 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer are included. Eclipses are Uranian in nature in that what happens is unexpected, and you might not even be certain as to what is happening for six months. For a solar eclipse, it takes about a year for the event to completely mature. Whether the eclipse is experienced as positive or negative depends on the planet that is conjoined or opposed, it’s place in your chart, the condition that the planet is in, and whether and how you might have prepared for what is happening (i.e. free will). If you’d like to know if you have planets or points that fall into this range, let me know. For most people, it will be experienced simply as a New Moon type event. Those are generally felt as the start of something new or a new beginning.
