Solar Eclipse in Cancer

"If you avoid your feelings, you also avoid understanding who you really are".  We have a Solar Eclipse occurring in Cancer on 3 July 2019.   A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon is in between the Sun and the Earth in direct alignment. This will always be at the time of the New Moon.  We have New Moons every month but Solar Eclipses occur approximately 6 months apart.  The Solar Eclipse is the focal point of change indicating the main thrust of the movement.  Usually, you can feel the eclipse effects as soon as one month before it occurs or one month after it occurs. Eclipses really do create milestones in our lives or obvious changing points on our path.  For all of us this a fresh start in creating the best possible environment for yourself to feel secure and comfortable.  The north node in Cancer has been teaching us since November 2018 to pay close attention to our emotions and see where we are not feeling emotionally nurtured.  We all need a life full of friends/relationships who nurture us and bring out positive emotions.  We need a job that allows us to express our passions and true self and food that nourishes us for the better.  This New Moon is encouraging you to let go of any relationship, job, environment or thought pattern that does not serve you for your own good.  Trust that if something ends around this eclipse, it is happening for a reason. Whatever it may be, it is not serving your evolution anymore for where you are at in your journey.  I encourage you to be honest with what drains you and what enriches you and let go whatever it is that is affecting you emotionally for the worse.  Look to your natal chart to the house ruled by Cancer to see where a new story is beginning for the next 6 months.
