Personal Eclipse Report
Eclipse Season of June/July 2020
for George Lucas, born on 14 May 1944
Introduction
Every six months your chart is affected by Solar and Lunar eclipses. We understand the geometry of an eclipse as the place where the Sun, Moon and earth come together. We marvel at their visual appearance as they bring us moments of heavenly wonder and beauty. This beauty is a play of light and dark between the two great heavenly lights, the Sun and the Moon. At a total solar eclipse, the Moon obliterates the Sun, visually becoming a black disc rayed by solar flares. At a lunar eclipse the bright full Moon moves through the shadow of the earth, losing its light and sometimes becoming blood coloured.
In the past, since eclipses challenged the order of light and dark, people thought that they were a time of worry or stress, a calamity waiting to happen. This, however, was not always the case. At the dawn of astrology each eclipse was viewed differently, and some were thought to bring difficulties to the kingdom, while others brought blessings.
It was, however, recognised that eclipses came in great cycles which ran for well over a thousand years and these cycles still have meaning for us today. Each eclipse belongs to a unique cycle and each cycle varies in its meaning. We only meet each eclipse cycle once every 18.5 years. Every six months when an eclipse occurs it engages with your horoscope through being located in different houses and aspects, and it also adds its unique cycle’s meaning into your life. Some eclipse cycles continue to bring blessings and insights, while others uncover cracks and faults that may have been papered over for years. All, however, will reveal to you what lies in the shadows of your life or in your thinking. All of them show the dark within the light through a myriad of different lenses.
This eclipse report focuses on the unique meanings of the current eclipse cycles which are affecting you now.
The Eclipses of this Season
The periods in the year when eclipses happen are known as eclipse seasons. The eclipse season of June/July 2020 contains three eclipses, first a lunar eclipse on 5 June 2020 (Saros cycle 111), followed by a solar eclipse on 21 June 2020 (Saros cycle 137) and then a lunar eclipse on 5 July 2020 (Saros cycle 149). You will start to experience the influence of these eclipses any time from around two weeks before the season starts, end of May 2020, until it finishes mid-July 2020.
The eclipse season following this one will be in November/December 2020.
The Lunar Eclipse of 5 June 2020 at 15°42 Sagittarius
The focus of this lunar eclipse is on the role and importance of your relationships with other people and your ability to meet others halfway. Its essence is connected to your skills at being able to sustain good associations and friendships. As this eclipse moves into your life you will find your care and concern being tested by someone whom you could see as one-sided or even fanatical in their thinking. If you are involved in a team project, at work or in your social life, or even in your own family, then this project could become bogged-down by this one person. Your solution should be to sidestep them. Rely on those people with whom you have built good relationships. Their support, along with a little bit of good luck, will sustain your focus. Once the block is cleared you will have a real flow of energy to reinvest in your goals.
This eclipse will also focus on resources that you collectively own or have the right to use. These range from roads, power lines, and the internet, to the property of other people, such as bank loans and wills. It is this area of your life that the eclipse will shake up. Your previous access to these shared resources will be disrupted and some things will be lost, but new and better connections can be found.
This eclipse could also affect your cash flow and your ability to borrow, all of which can add stress to your life. So be patient and let the eclipse pass before you enter into any financial arrangements.
However, expect some of these changes to involve the people around you, your work colleagues or groups of friends. This is a natural time for beginnings and endings, so use it well.
The flip side of this is that it may bring you a windfall. This eclipse shows you the need for change.
The events of this eclipse influence your home and family. This could see you moving or change things around your home. Additionally, the eclipse can impact on those with whom you are living, such as family members moving into or out of the home, or changes in flatmates. This is the time when you can also deal with old family problems. If you can focus on such issues, then they will resolve themselves quite easily.
The Solar Eclipse of 21 June 2020 at 0°21 Cancer
This solar eclipse brings events that seem to thwart and frustrate you. Ideas or projects on which you have been working, plans that you want to present to another, or teamwork ventures at any stage of development will suddenly seem to get caught in the weeds for no reason at all and flounder in some way. Where you previously experienced flow and forward movement you now encounter blockages. You may think that you have the vision and strategy to push through these blocks. However, take care. You are not clear-eyed during this eclipse season and hence are prone to misjudge your strengths or the situation at hand. Recognise that restriction, inhibition, restraint, separation, and illusions are the trademarks of this family of eclipses. Your best course of action is to wait until the eclipse passes before taking any real action.
This eclipse also focuses on issues to do with your personal resources. This can be your money, but it can also be the technology you rely upon on a daily basis – phones, internet, and your connectivity. As the eclipse unfolds, you could experience pressure on your budget caused by unexpected spending in the past, so learn from these experiences to avoid budget blow-outs in the future. Alternatively, if you are expecting fresh income to top up your balances, you could find that they are held up or delayed.
Nevertheless, you can use this eclipse to sort out your finances or indeed your material possessions. Indeed, if you clean out old piles of stuff, you will make space for new resources to appear. Similarly, you could experience unexpected shifts in your job.
However, with the focus of this eclipse being about hold-ups and delays, it is important that you take stock of your resources and avoid any decision that could put stress on your finances or any other resources. This is not the time for you to take financial risk.
Added to this, the eclipse pulls into your life events involving authority figures or any person or groups to whom you are accountable. The eclipse will shine a light on any problems, old or new, connected with your commitments, from people who wield authority over you or intimidate you, to those who are in a position to promote you. This is a time for taking responsibility, bearing the weight of duty, or consolidating and regrouping your plans and ambitions.
The theme of the eclipse is hard work, and you will be held to account, for better or for worse. Work hard in order to gain the positive benefits of this time.
Recognise, however, that currently there is a great deal of confusion, so it is better to put your hard work into planning, rather than the realisation of those plans. Once the eclipse is over you can start implementing those plans with surety.
The events of the eclipse can either bring welcome increases in obligations or be felt as a time of restraint, depending on how you approach it.
In parallel with this you will experience this time through a lens of confusion, loss or at least as a time of a lack of boundaries. What you thought was clear and straight forward suddenly reveals another side, which throws you into confusion. Your normal approach to resolving problems will not succeed and this can lead you to feeling powerless and even disappointed. The situation asks you to use patience, and importantly to take note of your dream world. Together with your intuition, they help you to see an array of possible pathways through the situation.
This confusion may come through being hindered or obstructed by outside forces over which you feel you have control, but which in fact causes only greater confusion. No amount of pushing on your part can change the circumstances.
Giving things time to resolve is a key for you in this period and as the situation slowly shifts, you will be able to see the issues more clearly and your normal ways of coping will become effective again.
The results of this eclipse impacts on your standing in the larger community. A new profession, career changes or adjustments in your work are all part of the outcome of this eclipse. These changes could also involve getting married, or gaining an in-law. As this eclipse unfolds, look for emerging opportunities that you can encourage and direct into your work and your community standing.
The Lunar Eclipse of 5 July 2020 at 13°30 Capricorn
This lunar eclipse focuses on your independence. You may experience this as an urge for freedom, when the structures of your job or home seem oppressive and overbearing. You may become aware that people in your personal or work relationships are hampering you and tying you down.
Be careful of making sudden decisions, however, as any weakness of will, giving in to anger, or a negative attitude is not appropriate and could backfire into irate disputes and undermine all that you have gained. Instead, take a step backwards and in the quiet spaces of your heart assess what it is you want.
This is a time when the spiritual side of your relationships becomes important. By focusing on things calmly and quietly, you will find ways that bring agreement and harmony. In this way you can find freedom within the confines of work and relationship, and create happy connections that help you move forward, rather than restricting you.
This eclipse will also focus on your previous desire to study or travel. This could be through travel or visitors or encountering new ideas which widen your view. This is a time to stand on a peak and look out across a wide panorama. You could find that you get a chance to study, or to gain a new skill, or you could be inspired to connect with people from other cultures.
Into this mix of expansion, you may also be required to deal with some legal issues. If you find yourself being pulled into a legal transaction, really focus on it and ensure that you thoroughly understand all the issues.
Freedom is the catch phrase of this eclipse, so an old obligation or situation that has been delaying or blocking you from traveling or studying may suddenly resolve.
Any actions that come out of the events of this eclipse will eventually lead you to broader and better horizons.
The overall impact of this eclipse is that the events catalyse you to change your approach to your resources, whether these resources are money, your energy, or both. You may find that you have overspent and have to tighten your budget, or an unexpected expense causes difficulty for you. What you thought was reliable—cars, people, lifestyle choices—now develops problems and you need to give it your attention. This is the time to focus on shortages and by dealing with them now, you will avoid problems in the future.
All of the above influences will be active from end of May 2020 to mid-July 2020. However, around the end of 2019 through to the end of 2020, the background issues in your life, the issues with which you are engaging, not necessarily on a daily basis but your ‘current’ project or issues that are on your plate, will be generally focused on your own resources and how these are being stretched by the demands of other people or situations in your life. You need to think about how to allocate your time, money or emotional energy so they are balanced between the different pressures on you. In doing so, you will find that you need to let go of some things. Allow these natural endings to occur, and remember that your resources are not without limits.
The themes of this eclipse season will stay with you for a while, possibly until the beginning of the next eclipse season in November/December 2020. The eclipses in this season will stress these issues, giving you a chance to rebalance things. Remember, eclipses are all about light and dark. They remind us that no matter how bright something is, how clear you think is your understanding of something, there is always another side, not necessarily negative, but just hidden from your point of view. These eclipses allow you to glimpse this other side.
