We’re in the dark of the moon, the day before the start of another lunar month. Tomorrow’s Cancer New Moon focuses us on themes of home, family, and connection. But, seeing that this is a solar eclipse too, we’re in the threshold for a powerful new beginning.
Every six months we have eclipses, the time when the new and full moon lines up with the ecliptic. With a solar eclipse, the Sun is eclipsed by the Moon. With a lunar eclipse, the Moon is eclipsed by the earth. Although this is a fairly routine phenomena, eclipses have a habit of bringing things in and out of our lives, like one door closing and another opening. Events feel fated, pivotal, or emotionally loaded.
With tomorrow’s solar eclipse in the sign of Cancer, we’re entering a sixth month period of focusing on how we get our needs met, how we feel safe, and how we create a home for ourselves.
