July 4/5, 2020 Lunar Eclipse In Capricorn

The month of July is included in the current eclipse season in 2020. The third eclipse in the last thirty days, a lunar eclipse, occurs on July 5, 2020 at 13 degrees Capricorn. The partial lunar eclipse will be visible over most of South/West Europe, much of Africa, much of North America, South America, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Oceans, and Antarctica. You will be affected by this eclipse if you have planets or points between 11 and 15 degrees of Cancer and/or Capricorn. Most folks will simply experience the eclipse as a full Moon. Full Moons usually indicate a climax or coming to fruition of something, and we are normally more emotional during a full Moon. This eclipse will affect large corporations, other large businesses, authority figures, leaders, and other persons in positions of power. Saturn is the lord of the eclipse. As a result, the emphasis of this eclipse is on structure and learning lessons (perhaps the hard way), and big business. This eclipse is on a critical degree and is angular. 

For the US, the eclipse falls in the tenth house in the eclipse chart over Washington DC. Therefore, this eclipse will affect big business, leaders, executives, and the President. The eclipse point is in opposition to the Sun in the nation’s chart. Change is in the air as Uranus trines the Moon and sextiles the Sun. Mercury retrograde points to difficulty with communications, the media, and short distance travel. Mars squaring the Moon and the Sun points to trouble on the homefront. Violence could be a problem. Disagreements and anger between the executive and the people is prominent and widespread. The President’s favorability rating is very likely to suffer under this influence. Protests (BLM) continue around the nation. Chiron on the Ascendant calls the nation to come to grips with its wounds and issues - racism and policing problems among them (Mars is also conjunct). A health related issue - the coronavirus - continues to be a big problem. Asteroids Koronis in the first house in the chart also points to this issue. 

Venus in the second house and in trine aspect to Saturn points to some financial relief for the nation. It could be that the House’s relief package (recently passed) might be passed by the Senate and signed into law. However, the Moon rules the fifth house, so speculative ventures (including the Stock Market) will experience problems. Expect more ups and downs in the stock market.
