ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE OF JUNE 21, 2020

In the morning of June 21, a ring-shaped solar eclipse awaits us. The peak of the eclipse will occur at 9:40 am Kyiv time (6:40 am GMT). This solar eclipse takes place at 1 degree of Cancer, thus still infused with the energies of the preceding sign—Gemini. It concludes a series of eclipses along the Cancer-Capricorn axis, meaning that all the cleansings and re-evaluations regarding emotions and relationships with loved ones have been completed over the past few years. This eclipse marks the implementation of the changes we previously chose. In the initial phase, changes begin on the subtle level—we may notice them in our perspectives, in the absence of fears and blocks, and in emerging new desires. The sign of Cancer indicates gaining freedom on the emotional plane. The level we now consider acceptable for ourselves must subsequently be integrated into relationships at various levels—business, family, friendships, neighborly connections, and so on. In previous phases, the colors of the emotional world were revealed to us; now we must use these colors to paint our lives. Noticeable changes will become evident by the end of this year, when Jupiter and Saturn meet in the sign of Aquarius. Right now, we are highly sensitive to the emotions around us. Some are more focused on themselves, while for others, the feelings of those nearby carry greater weight. Yet, to achieve inner harmony, it’s essential to understand that the emotional plane is highly fluid and unstable, with no clear boundaries. One person’s emotions naturally transfer to those nearby—though each interprets them differently. Thus, on a subtle level, people can understand each other far better, but it’s crucial to develop the skills for this kind of communication with the external world. This is how children and animals primarily communicate, as they have not yet confined themselves to words and social concepts. And only in this way can humanity become compassionate and kind. On this path, many lessons and trials await us, yet this is precisely the path of growth. If you work deeply with eclipse energies, now is a good time to practice connecting with your mother. This is the first emotional contact a person experiences—the primary natural emotional bond that either opens our heart or leaves scars and wounds. But we all mature, and now we can consciously approach our experiences and relationship-building. Now is not the time to make important decisions, especially regarding work matters. During the eclipse corridor, temporal boundaries blur, and we cannot fully determine whether the past, future, or present is currently guiding us. Therefore, remain attentive to what is happening, but postpone implementing anything new for now. However, you may now implement something new that you’ve long prepared for, if something previously prevented you from taking the decisive step. When building plans and strategies, recognize that business relationships worldwide will no longer remain so dry and concrete. Focus instead on fulfilling your clients’ emotional needs. In relationships with others, numerous problematic issues have surfaced over the past month. Now you already know what you truly desire from relationships and what your partner wants (if you are honest with yourself)—this is the main task of the retrograde Venus period. On June 25, Venus will resume direct motion, but now it’s important to focus on understanding the other person’s feelings and pay less attention to what they project onto you. This eclipse is exceptionally strong energetically, as it coincides with the Summer Solstice, when the life force filling our Earth reaches its annual peak. This conjunction indicates that unlimited energetic resources are being given to us for shaping necessary tasks and choosing opportunities for their resolution. Therefore, stay attuned to your own desires and needs. As with any eclipse, avoid overloading your body on any level. Value yourself and your capabilities; do not be lazy or restless during this period. Chronic illnesses may flare up, panic fears and general anxiety may intensify. These reflect our personal limitations in body, emotions, and mind that hinder progress toward our goals. If we consciously recognize the causes of what is happening on all levels, we can minimize the damage caused by the forced uprooting of limitations imposed by external circumstances. We may perceive today’s surrounding environment as chaotic. It’s important to intuitively establish your own inner order to preserve individuality and wholeness. Enjoy the flow of life, but remember to stay aware of all directions. Wishing everyone a bright path!
