The Penumbral Eclipse in Capricorn
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn AEST 2:44 pm 5th July 2020
Here we are approaching the third Eclipse in a row in these hectic chaotic times.
In most years there might be two or three eclipses but in this year we are having three eclipses in a row the third one a penumbral lunar eclipse is happening on July the 4thor 5th depending where you are.
So we are still in the throes of the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction, which continue until the end of November this year. Powerful and expansive transformational processes, which ‘take no prisoners’, manifesting as sweeping political shifts. Just in the last few days China has clamped down on Hong Kong with massive new security laws.
But here at this Full Moon we have the asteroid Pallas exactly conjunct Jupiter and Pluto at 23º Capricorn and they're all retrograde which brings a more internal process to the power of Jupiter and Pluto, the massive transformation and expansion of consciousness happening, with Pallas facilitating an overview of the myriad levels and contexts, a weaving of elements, processing and integrating the shifts from a perceptual point of view. Saturn is nearby at 29º Capricorn, the last degree known as anaretic so it is at its most powerful as it leaves Capricorn to enter Aquarius on December 12 this year. Structures are still tumbling and unravelling, and hopefully with the help of Pallas, new forms are referring to the wisdom of Pallas.
The combined effect of the longer term Saturn/Pluto conjunction and then Jupiter coming in and somehow flushing out all the darkness and density accumulated by Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn is lifting out from the depths things that people have not wanted to look at for maybe thousands of years, and which are now being floated to the surface as truths coming out that so many people would rather not know about in our collective systems and our deeper personal consciousnesses. The big shift that is also happened is that that the Moon’s Nodes have moved from Cancer and Capricorn into Gemini and Sagittarius and so the media is playing a very important part in this whole thing and it should be noted that with the retrograde Mercury big reviews and cullings are going on. Here in Australia the regional many regional newspapers have been axed and the ABC which is our public broadcaster has just had huge funding cuts which will virtually cripple it as an independent broadcaster.
The danger of Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter is a leaning into dictatorship, as people want to be held by strong authority figures.
The overall shape of the Eclipse chart is a bucket shape with Juno the asteroid of relating as the ‘handle’. Our relationships are bearing the brunt of all the pressure we are under with the pandemic, the effects of Climate Change and the planetary clock. Whatever was hidden or swept under that carpet in our relationships is surfacing now, and we are seeing our relationships going through big changes as well, the truth is coming out, and any imbalance can be addressed.
