Sunday the 5th of July, we have a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn. This Eclipse will end the 2020 winter eclipse season and also wraps up a bigger eclipse cycle that we have been working with since 2018. The Capricorn Lunar Eclipse is a turbocharged, a super menstrual, wolf-howler version of a Full Moon.
The Moon is opposite the Sun during a Full Moon. With a Lunar Eclipse, the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and usually causes a blood red shadow. However, since this is an appulse Lunar Eclipse, the Earth will only cover the Moon around 35%. Although this Lunar Eclipse is not highly visible, its effects will certainly be felt on a psychic and emotional level.
The Moon signifies our inner landscape. Whereas the Sun identifies powerfully with the self, this Lunar Eclipse encourages us to look to our outer world as a reflection of who we are on the inside. In a Lunar Eclipse, the Sun momentarily blocks the illumination that creates a Full Moon, thereby resetting the current emotional cycle and allowing the shadow to reveal what is hidden in our subconscious or keeping us blocked from seeing more clearly.
The spiritual aspects of the Moon represent our deep emotional tides. So, when the shadow passes over the Moon, temporarily ceasing the illumination of our emotional being, there is an opportunity to reveal and transform our current emotional state.
The Goddess asteroid, Vesta is close to the Sun during this Eclipse. Vesta was the Roman virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family. Vesta represents harvest and abundance, and its presence will be ensuring that this Eclipse brings the fruits of our labor.
Vesta will remind us of the importance of nourishing ourselves! Taking care of ourselves and looking after our health and wellbeing should always be our number one priority. This is amplified as our energy may feel depleted around this Eclipse, we need to be gentle with ourselves, and ensure we take time to rest and recharge.
Eclipses can also affect our sleep cycle, dreams and astral travel are heightened as well. Dream journaling can offer us many insights.
This Capricorn Lunar Eclipse also falls in the heart of the Sirius Gateway, adding to its power and potential. Sirius is our “Spiritual Sun” and it is very active all through the first week of July. The Sun with Sirius brings success in business along with domestic harmony.
During this time, Sirius beams high-frequency energies down to Earth that can help us ascend, recharge, and access higher intelligence.
Sirius energy is magical, and it will be heightening the magic felt around this Eclipse/.
We may find ourselves feeling a little anxious or sensitive with all these energies too, so we need to keep grounding ourselves.
Take soothing baths, work with our favorite crystals, spend time in nature, recharging and resting will help us navigate through all these incredibly transformative energies.
The main planetary influence on the Capricorn Lunar eclipse comes from Mercury and Uranus. Although not a particularly strong influence, it is a positive one. Open-mindedness and curiosity will bring stimulating conversation and new ideas. There should be positive changes, new discoveries, and exciting news.
While there are rewards and positive influences surrounding this Eclipse, there is also a final release or purging to do for many of us.
We will be guided to release something from our lives, something we have been holding on to that is now ready to be returned to the Earth and replaced with something new.
This Eclipse energy filters through our body helping us to surrender and release. Our only job is to learn how to let go. By not struggling & fighting against the release we will have a much easier time with all these energies.
We need to trust that whatever has been cleared from our life has been cleared for a reason. As painful as it can be at times, we are all reminded that… this is our life. So, accept it. Embrace it. Find the hope that is needed to keep walking on our journeys.
Mercury Retrograde and Mars are also active around this Eclipse, which is adding some heated energy. We may feel emotions rising and bubbling to the surface. Finding a healthy way to release any heated emotions that arise is key and finding the strength & confidence to speak up and share our truth when it’s called for.
Reaching the end of this Eclipse cycle and the Eclipse Gateway will feel like deep cleansing has taken place. But a lightness will follow, and we may even notice ourselves feeling a deep sense of satisfaction in reaching the end of this cycle.
This is a time to honor our journeys. Honor the changes, the upheaval, and the flow of our life. Honor ourselves for who we are today because of it all.
After the energies of the Capricorn Lunar Eclipse come to a simmer, things will lighten, and we will get a nice reprieve before Eclipse Season starts again in November.
Love and Blessings ♥♥♥
