Lunar Eclipse- Full Moon in Cancer

Eclipses disrupt the natural rhythms of life, bring up shadows, and ask us to see old situations with a new perspective.

Tomorrow at 11:13am PDT the Moon in Cancer at 20º00’ sits across from the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This lunar eclipse invites us to release our outdated structures and boundaries we have in place- especially the ones that have kept us isolated. We are asked to let go of the idea that our worth is contingent upon our material success. This is a time to acknowledge the restrictions we have placed on our selves and others- in particular the ones that cut us off from connection, compassion, and a sense of belonging.

Eclipses are a time to let go of the illusion of control, to embrace that everything is temporary, and to move into a space of deep acceptance.

Since July 2018, eclipses have been occurring on the axis of Cancer and Capricorn.

The Dream Space

Every day the Sun, Moon and planetary bodies are all moving and expressing various energies. The Sun represents our pure consciousness- it is where our attention is. In the sign of Aries, our attention and awareness is on our self and our identity.

However, the next few days will combine not just the energy of the Sun in Aries, but the energies of the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Neptune all in the sign of Pisces. Mercury stationed direct last Thursday after its 3-week retrograde, and will remain in its shadow period until April 16. As Mercury stations direct it hovers at a particular degree point- and at the moment it is in line with Neptune, the planet of illusion and unreality. As Mercury begins to pick up speed this week things will slowly begin to reveal themselves.

In addition to Mercury and Neptune- Venus and the Moon are also in Pisces. Venus entered Pisces last week and will remain there until April 20. While Venus is in Pisces, the energy is one of unconditional love: intuitive, non-linear, and devotional love. This love can lack boundaries and can be self-sacrificing, but it is a space of deep compassion and empathy.

Wherever the Moon is, that is where our emotional awareness is. The Moon in Pisces brings feelings of romance, sensitivity and tenderness. The Moon will only be in Pisces until Wednesday night- but with all of the other planetary energy in this sign, emotions can run deep.

This is a time of patience, of slowing down, and treating others with kindness. Things may still feel fuzzy, confusing, or uncertain… but this will all pass. Be with your feelings, let them pass through you, and breathe deeply.
