Introduction
Every six months your chart is affected by Solar and Lunar eclipses. We understand thegeometry of an eclipse as the place where the Sun, Moon and earth come together. We
marvel at their visual appearance as they bring us moments of heavenly wonder and beauty.
This beauty is a play of light and dark between the two great heavenly lights, the Sun and theMoon. At a total solar eclipse, the Moon obliterates the Sun, visually becoming a black discrayed by solar flares. At a lunar eclipse the bright full Moon moves through the shadow ofthe earth, losing its light and sometimes becoming blood coloured.
In the past, since eclipses challenged the order of light and dark, people thought that they
were a time of worry or stress, a calamity waiting to happen. This, however, was not always
the case. At the dawn of astrology each eclipse was viewed differently, and some were
thought to bring difficulties to the kingdom, while others brought blessings.
It was, however, recognised that eclipses came in great cycles which ran for well over a
thousand years and these cycles still have meaning for us today. Each eclipse belongs to aunique cycle and each cycle varies in its meaning. We only meet each eclipse cycle once
every 18.5 years. Every six months when an eclipse occurs it engages with your horoscopethrough being located in different houses and aspects, and it also adds its unique cycle’s
meaning into your life. Some eclipse cycles continue to bring blessings and insights, whileothers uncover cracks and faults that may have been papered over for years. All, however,will reveal to you what lies in the shadows of your life or in your thinking. All of them show
the dark within the light through a myriad of different lenses.
This eclipse report focuses on the unique meanings of the current eclipse cycles which areaffecting you now.

The Lunar Eclipse of 5 June 2020 at 15°42 Sagittarius
The focus of this lunar eclipse is on the role and importance of your relationships withother people and your ability to meet others halfway. Its essence is connected to yourskills at being able to sustain good associations and friendships. As this eclipse moves
into your life you will find your care and concern being tested by someone whom you
could see as one-sided or even fanatical in their thinking. If you are involved in a teamproject, at work or in your social life, or even in your own family, then this project could
become bogged-down by this one person. Your solution should be to sidestep them. Relyon those people with whom you have built good relationships. Their support, along witha little bit of good luck, will sustain your focus. Once the block is cleared you will have areal flow of energy to reinvest in your goals.
This eclipse gives you an awareness of problems that appear from nowhere. These
matters have always, however, been there. They have simply been brewing beneath thesurface. Consider the events, take time to withdraw and sit with these concerns. Quiet
contemplation is now more helpful for you in this period than rushing to resolve problems. Embrace the events as they arise and think about why they are happening to you.
Look at the issues you have with work colleagues or friends that are causing you concern
and step back from some of your obligations. Even if you do this just for a short time, thiswill allow you the chance to see things more clearly. You might be tempted to band-aid
over the problem, but the eclipse is giving you an opportunity to see these hidden issues.
Make the most of these insights.
It is a teacher, a guru, or a friend who travels frequently, who brings the events of thiseclipse into your life. Through them, you will experience this time as an expansion ofyour world, through ideas or in changes to your physical location. You could findyourself drawn to study a completely new subject, or asked to teach a new skill, or an
old skill in a new way. You could also feel the urge to travel. If your life circumstances
mean you are unable to incorporate the changes that this eclipse highlights, then events
will still occur which may seem excessive but could lead to broadening your world.
Look for this expansion in your relationships with other people. This is a time to accept
change and growth in your groups or associations, but make sure you avoid those who
push you in the wrong direction. Take small steps in your chosen new direction. Remember, it is better to make some changes than none at all.
The ups and downs of this eclipse will eventually impact on your daily routine and evenyour health. You will find that you need to alter your daily life in some way. Even if thosealterations appear to be quite small, such as changes to your diet or altering your dailytls5.2020 as.6212.502-32 Oprah Winfrey

schedule so that you take on greater responsibility for another person, they will have an
impact. Focus on these incoming changes and embed them into your daily routine, as
they are not a passing issue, but could be with you for a long time.

The Solar Eclipse of 21 June 2020 at 0°21 Cancer
This solar eclipse brings events that seem to thwart and frustrate you. Ideas or projects on
which you have been working, plans that you want to present to another, or teamwork
ventures at any stage of development will suddenly seem to get caught in the weeds forno reason at all and flounder in some way. Where you previously experienced flow andforward movement you now encounter blockages. You may think that you have thevision and strategy to push through these blocks. However, take care. You are not cleareyed during this eclipse season and hence are prone to misjudge your strengths or thesituation at hand. Recognise that restriction, inhibition, restraint, separation, and illusions
are the trademarks of this family of eclipses. Your best course of action is to wait until theeclipse passes before taking any real action.
Additionally, this eclipse returns to the challenges you have had in the past with yourcommitments to others, either a single person or a whole institution. What you thought
was settled can suddenly be seen as having a weak foundation. If this is a work commitment, then address the problem directly. If this is a personal relationship difficulty, thenthis is the time when you can talk about what has come to the surface.
We all need other people, and this eclipse will reveal both the strengths and weaknessesof your links to those who are special and meaningful to you.
In particular, with this being a time of delays you will be feeling inhibited in dealing withrelationship problems. Step back and give everything a little bit of time. Far from being
problematic, this eclipse can be an opportunity for you to avert any future difficulties that
could arise in your commitments.
It is also your intimate partner or business connections who bring the events of this eclipse
into your life. These events will be precipitated by the way you have made commitmentsin the past and at this time you may have to mediate another person’s problems, helping
them deal with an issue beyond their means to resolve. You could find yourself taking on
a role for which you feel unprepared or stepping into a commitment which is unavoidable. During this eclipse period you will become aware of the many complex layers that
attach to your obligations and thus this is the very time when you can rearrange them tobetter suit your life.

Within these obligations, however, the situation is not clear and for no reason at all, details go awry and plans flounder. This only causes confusion. Hence the best decision is
to step back and wait until the waters clear. Then you can move forward again with clear
intention. The focus is on your obligations, that which has to be repaired or altered.
The overall outcome of these events is that new groups enter your life because you arepropelled into a different social situation. This is a time where you can expand yoursocial circle, so get proactive and look around for groups in which you feel comfortable.
Alternatively, these new friendships could be found within your work environment. The
key issue here is that, because of the events of the eclipse, your social world broadens.

The Lunar Eclipse of 5 July 2020 at 13°30 Capricorn
This lunar eclipse focuses on your independence. You may experience this as an urge for
freedom, when the structures of your job or home seem oppressive and overbearing.
You may become aware that people in your personal or work relationships are hampering you and tying you down.
Be careful of making sudden decisions, however, as any weakness of will, giving in toanger, or a negative attitude is not appropriate and could backfire into irate disputes
and undermine all that you have gained. Instead, take a step backwards and in the quiet
spaces of your heart assess what it is you want.
This is a time when the spiritual side of your relationships becomes important. By focusing
on things calmly and quietly, you will find ways that bring agreement and harmony. In
this way you can find freedom within the confines of work and relationship, and create
happy connections that help you move forward, rather than restricting you.
Additionally, this eclipse indicates that the consequences of decisions you have made or
actions you have taken in the past now reveal themselves. Stay with your previous
decisions and, if possible, become proactive so that you can gain better control of theflow of events. Now is not the time to change your mind.
Seriously think about what you would like to come to fruition and work out the best way
to help that come to pass. You can also, if you wish, make any long overdue changes toyour appearance, hair style, clothing choices, or even your name.
Primarily, however, the events of this eclipse need you to be reflective, to think about
why things have happened, what you wish to happen, and how to achieve those goals.
Remember, this eclipse empowers you, so act wisely.

It is also through your superior at work or the parent you felt most shaped your careerthat the events of this eclipse come into your life. Thus you will experience its energy via
your profession, your status in your community, and your goals and ambitions. You could
be faced with a career change, desired or forced upon you, or you could change yourstatus through marriage, divorce, or parenthood. You could even find yourself confronting or negotiating with another as you resolve issues connected with your job or position
in society.
As you strive to implement your goals and ambitions, however, you will be motivated bya desire for greater freedom or independence. You may either follow your path in termsof your career or break free from one job or career ambition to pursue one that offers
you greater flexibility. This is not the time for rebellion or anger but is instead a time foryou to see clearly what may have been holding you back and to rethink your own goals.
A light shines on what you consciously seek in terms of how society classifies you, and so
it will reveal the solidness of your ambition.
The results of this eclipse impacts on your standing in the larger community. A new profession, career changes or adjustments in your work are all part of the outcome of thiseclipse. These changes could also involve getting married, or gaining an in-law. As thiseclipse unfolds, look for emerging opportunities that you can encourage and direct into
your work and your community standing.

Conclusion
All of the above influences will be active from end of May 2020 to mid-July 2020. However, around the end of 2019 through to the end of 2020, the background issues inyour life, the issues with which you are engaging, not necessarily on a daily basis but
your ‘current’ project or issues that are on your plate, will be focused on issues aroundyour daily life, the routines of living. It could be a time where you focus on your diet andhealth and give that a stronger priority, while at the same time valuing time spent alone
with your spiritual or reflective pursuits. This is a time of service and duty and a chancefor inner reflection.
The themes of this eclipse season will stay with you for a while, possibly until the beginning of the next eclipse season in November/December 2020. The eclipses in this season will stress these issues, giving you a chance to rebalance things. Remember, eclipses
are all about light and dark. They remind us that no matter how bright something is, how
clear you think is your understanding of something, there is always another side, notnecessarily negative, but just hidden from your point of view. These eclipses allow you to
glimpse this other side.
