A New Year Update: Upcoming Cancer Eclipse and Saturn Conjunct Pluto
Hey all! It’s been awhile since I have come here and given an update. So much has gone on in only a few weeks since my last post but yet it all feels like a lifetime ago and I feel like a brand new person. We of course had the holidays. All Christmas and New Years festivities. Unfortunately for myself I fell sick probably a week before all the major festivities began. Just a mild head cold that I picked up from my son Jaxson. He started pre school this year and has been bringing home every germ and sickness that has been rotating this year. Of course my immune system is down from being pregnant, little Salem is just sucking the life out of me, and I have experienced everything he has brought home and 10x worse than anyone else in this household. It has been a rough few months to say the least. But this head cold I thought I could handle went from uncomfortable but manageable to full blown sinus infection in a few days. I had one last pop up event I did for readings and selling my jewelry/art etc and basically after that day (the 19th of December) my health took a turn for the worst and I basically was bedridden for going on close to 3 weeks. Being pregnant there was not much I could take to help relieve my symptoms and being the holidays I was not able to get in to see my doctor. Funny enough my symptoms really took a turn for the worse during the Capricorn eclipse. I had the most intense migraines, toothache, fever and congestion. I was delirious with how sick I was and thinking some really crazy thoughts. Capricorn rules the teeth, knees and joints and I thought it was absolutely wild that I had the worst toothache I've ever experienced literally as the eclipse was happening. I was able to see a walk in doctor shortly after and was prescribed an antihistamine which helped with some of my worst symptoms which included the toothache and a day or two after the eclipse I finally got relief for my tooth. My fever subsided and I was on the mend. Unfortunately it would be another week and a half until I was fully functionable. I suffered migraines, major discomfort and sleepless nights. I missed all of Christmas celebrations and New Years as well. I missed the 2 weeks Jaxson was off school and the mild weather. I missed the time my husband had off for the holidays. It was just all very sad and unfortunate. It really made me appreciate my good health and all the people that pulled through for me to help take care of the boys while I couldn’t. Mostly it gave me a lot of time to think and reflect on everything I have gone through over the last year and how I want to continue to grow into the person I am meant to be. The timing of it all was very ironic to me as well. Just knowing what I know now about astrology and how eclipses can very much affect people physically, cause illnesses and pain, this one took me out.
Now onto 2020! It’s a new year, a new decade and a new era. Era for myself at least. By the end of this decade I will be 40 yeas old! It’s funny how grown a person thinks they are in their 20s, and I know people always fear turning 30. I have never felt better about my age and where I am at. My 30s are going to be a time of immense growth and potential. My 20s were a time of being young, carefree but also mainly a lot of stupidity and mistakes. Do not ever fear aging because the alternative is much worse. And with age comes wisdom, experience and growth. I cannot wait for the 2020s. Having said that, and I know many people are looking for an awesome year since 2019 was a bit rough. Astrologically speaking 2020 is not looking any better. There are some rough transits that will transpire this year and although I will speak about most of them as they come I do want to talk about a couple that have already started.
In 4 days we will experience another eclipse. A full Moon in Cancer eclipse. Again this will be affecting Cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. It has been rough for you Cardinal signs I am so sorry. But this is it. After this eclipse you will have some relief hopefully for a long while. The Moon will be in Cancer and opposite the Sun, Mercury, Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn. This one is going to be intense, transformative and painful. More so than the Capricorn eclipse. Themes for this upcoming eclipse will focus more on the home life, family, situations potentially involving ones mother, living arrangements, security, life plan and career. Masculine energies with feminine principles may be highlighted. Power struggles between the yin and yang. As with all eclipses things that are hidden in the shadows will be illuminated and endings will happen. This is very much an earth shattering break up eclipse. Which is not anything to be feared. Even if you are a Cardinal sign or have Cardinal placements this doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to have this horrible break up. But some will experience this and is something that is very much out of your control. Eclipses have fated qualities to them. What happens is all a part of some divine master plan that is much bigger than you. If you do experience a break up or something life changing, trust that this is exactly what was meant to happen, despite how difficult this may be. This also is the complete and final culmination of all the eclipses that happened in the summer of ‘19. Themes from this summer may present themselves and things that have felt in limbo may come to a final or ending. All I can say is that you are likely feeling the energy already and just go with it. Resistance is useless and will actually make anything you are going through more painful. Accept what is going to happen as fated and allow the waves to take you on this journey you are about to embark. Come the summer we will be back in a whole new eclipse season and the majority of them will be affecting Mutable signs, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces and Gemini. So hang in there Cardinal signs. Your time of relief is coming.
Now the other transit that I wanted to talk about is Saturn conjunct Pluto. This is a major planetary aspect and one that happens every 34 years. It has been a long time coming. Saturn the planet of rules, structure, commitments and limitations and Pluto the planet of transformation, death, rebirth, birth, sex and anything taboo. This transit has many meanings coming up but I want to talk about a couple that are very very interesting considering everything that has transpired since the beginning of 2020. The main one that I think is going to affect most people is the hard working aspect of this transit. This is not a time of play. This is a time to buckle down, get whatever work needs to be done and grind it out. This is a slow moving transit so it is something that is not going to be quick and easy. This is where you build strong and solid foundations to live on for years to come. But with strong and solid foundations comes great work and sacrifice. With great work and sacrifice comes blood, sweat and tears. This is not always something that comes easy. Basically this its a time of hard work and serious business. You will need patience and determination to get through this. Expect even more responsibilities and commitments but also expect that during this time you are building what you need to in order to live a very comfortable life. Some people will not be able to handle all the pressure and will crumble under the intensity. Keep telling yourself this is only to better your future and all good things come through hard work. Accept the inevitable because again as I say over and over, resistance just makes everything harder on yourself. Accept the changes that are going to happen and go with the flow. The other interesting thing that I wanted to talk about regarding this transit is the very strong possibility of war and destruction. I am sure you have all seen the news regarding both what is happening in Australia and the US and Middle East. Themes that surround this transit involve politics, world leaders, propaganda, world trade, climate change. Many astrologers have sensed and predicted a war coming, and of course now there is so many rumours swirling about World War III. I have also seen predictions involving China in some ways. There is a lot going on there as well with their concentration camps, how they deal with climate change and also the power struggle between China and the USA. I think something big is going to happen and I think Trump assassinating Soleimani was the catalyst for it. Things are going to be changing and it is scary. But I think the thing to remember is how lucky and grateful we are to live in this amazing country. Yes war is possible but the ones who will be most affected will most certainly be innocent civilians from Middle Eastern countries. Count your lucky stars you live in a free and mostly safe country and pray for those who may be affected by what is happening.
Some of this is heavy. I am sorry it is not better and lighter information to start the new year. I talk about these things because it is important to be informed about what may or may no possibly happen. Knowing astrology doesn’t mean you can predict the future but it helps you to have insight into certain possibilities so you are not completely blindsided. Astrology doesn’t change the future, you are in charge of your life fully. If I tell you a breakup eclipse is happening that doesn’t mean you need to up and break up with the love of your life. Now if you’ve been thinking about it for a long time and are in a toxic or abusive situation, this is when things may blow up for you. But it may end up being a blessing in disguise. And again Saturn conjunct Pluto doesn’t necessarily mean World War III is about to break out, but things are certainly tense and it is important to know what is happening in the world and what may possible happen. It is also important to know that this is a time to work hard to build your future. All work and no play may be dull, boring and hard but it will pay off for you in the long run. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and stay tuned for more posts coming up. I will be talking about the eclipse in greater detail next week. Happy New Year friends. I hope the end of last year was good to you and if you are struggling know that you are not alone. We are in this together.
