You may have noticed that the recent series of new and full moons have felt even more intense than usual and no, it’s not just because it’s 2020 and everything is chaos. We are currently in the middle of the eclipse season, summer 2020, and the vibrations are extra wild, as there are two distinct overlapping eclipse cycles (more on that shortly), so we know all kinds of sudden changes, endings, and beginnings.
To recap: the full moon of June 2020 was a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius, and the new moon two weeks later was a solar eclipse in Cancer. The next full moon in July 2020 (which takes place at Capricorn during the fourth weekend in July) brings yet another lunar eclipse. With all of this chaotic lunar energy to manage, it helps to know what the summer 2020 eclipse season means for your zodiac sign.
Here is a little scoop on eclipses in astrology. Eclipses take place on new moons (solar eclipses) and full moons (lunar eclipses) and bring additional intensity to these already notable lunations, as they rush to realign ourselves with our destinies in an often unexpected or chaotic way.
They occur in cycles of about two years each, and these series take place on a single “axis” of the zodiac wheel, which consists of two opposite signs (which correspond to the alignment of the North and South nodes). The most recent eclipse series occurred in the signs of Cancer and Capricorn, and the July full moon lunar eclipse in Capricorn marks the final eclipse of this particular series.
Throughout the Cancer/Capricorn eclipse cycle, which began in the summer of 2018, we have dealt with questions of safety, comfort, tradition, and authority on a personal and collective level. But this summer’s eclipse season ushered in a new series of eclipses on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis, which will focus our attention on different themes over the next year and a half.
The nodal shift from Cancer/Capricorn to Gemini/Sagittarius requires us to take an intellectual approach to our emotions. Understanding feelings is essential now, rather than just getting lost in emotions.
As we navigate the recent eclipse barrage and enter into a new series of eclipses that will bring major changes to our lives over the next couple of years, it is useful to review how the eclipse season of summer 2020 affects your zodiac sign so you know what’s in store for you:
